THE MUSICAL AND LITERARY
SOIREE.
THE

The announcement that an unusually attrac
tive programme would be presented at th'
Reform Clubs soree perfectly crammed the
rooms last night with most highly respec
table audience In fact there larger
number of ladies and gentlemen present thar
have heretofore assembled in the rooms, ano
those who were present were RECALLED with as
mertorious literary and musical treat as has
ever been offered to our people. The recita-
ton of "Lochinaver," by Miss Ella Edwards
was very neatly done recitation of Lake
Como and parody, by Mr.. w. S. Byrne,
was splendidly given in that genteman's most
finished style, which, be imagined, was
excellent, indeed, for Mr.. Byrne never does
anything without exceling in it. The only
fault that could be found with his recitation
was that he did not give his voice sufficient
scope. Duet, " Evangeline," by Misses
Helen Read and Katie Faik, was we'll ren-
Miss Katie Falk, was beautifully rendered,
and elected very warm applause. R cltation
"Blacksmith's Story" by Mr.. John Z. Mack,
evidenced ability, and appreciation Of the sub
iect. Duet, by Miss Katie Falk and Mas
ter Dickie Jose, was rich and decidedly &C
ceptable feature of the entertainment
Reading, Lost and Found" by Miss Morgan,
reflected great credit upon that lady's elocu
tionary powers Col S. H. Fulton sang
90 The Balmoral, and for Justly merited en-
core sang, "The Groves O Barney" This
gentleman, who possesses a finished and high
ly cultured voice, acquitted himself in q mas
terly style, and it is greatly to be
wished that he may frequently favor us
with his accomplishments in that particular
Mrs. Writ Hopkins recited " The Whiskers,"
which was one of the brightest gems of the
evening. Song, Sweet, Forget Me Not,
by Master Dickie Jose, was exqusitely sung
This young gentleman has full, clear voice,
very sweet, which, if it is subjected to a
training, will prove as rich and
powerful as any that we ever heard. Recita-
ton, :" The Polish Boy, by Miss Katie Falk,
was good Duet, g The Woolbird's Song"
by Miss Katie Falk and Helen Read, was
rendered, and loudly encored,
in response to which they sang, in the most
divine style, What are the Wild Waves
Saying" These young ladies possess SPLEEN
lid musical abilities. The entertainment con-
GUIDED with few remarks from the President
These soirees are growing into greater favor
rom week to week, and are attended by the
,est people in the city.

YESTERDAY morning couple of boys were
amusing themselves by chasing COWS up and
down the Prison road, and in other ways tor
menting the cattle Their fun must have
lasted about half an hour when one of the
cows horned boy named Henry Hughes,
pitching him clear over her head. He for
tunatelv sustained no other I'M uries than a
few slight bruises and great big fright 1t
is supposed that in the future these boys will
let the cows alone.
IT is stated that the communication from
Genoa which appeared in Thursdays APPEAL
relative to school matters in that village has
caused very bitter feeling between the
School Trustee and the anti-School
Trustee factions The whole affair is scarcely
worth writing or speaking about, and if the
Genoites do not wish to destroy the us eful
ness of their school they had better drop the
matter and shake hands.

EXCITING CHASE. - Yesterday afternoon
Officer Duncan took prisoner charged with
vagrancy, to the Police Court, and while
waiting for the District Attorney to arrive
he placed his man in the Courtroom, and he
and Judge Cary took seat on the sidewalk.
They were soon lost in conversation and
forgot all about the prisoner In the mean
time the yag noiselessly left his seat, walked
through the side door into Browns saloon
and made his escape. By this time Officer
Duncan thought it worth his while to see how
his man was faring, and looking into the
| Courtroom he saw that he gone.
No time was to be lost, so the officer ran
down to the disreputable quarter of the town
as fast as he could, and soon came within
sight of his game The fellow saw the officer
increase the distance between them. The
officer commanded him to stop, which, of
course he didn't do, but the cries had the eff
feet OF bringing all the people in that neigh
borhood out of their houses. At length the
fugitive got within arms length of Glenn
Berry, who, seeing that officer was in pur-
suit, caught the man and delivered him into
the hands of the law.
PASSOVER EsG APED.-Y yesterday morning
". Ii. Minor took charge of the chain gang,
and while at work near Sweeney's barn one of
the gang, Henry Lee, who was convicted of
vagrancy, asked for permission to absent him
SpI foW tod
He went into the barn and remained an unus-
ually long while This aroused Minor sus-
picions and he went to look after him, but he
could not be found he had made his escape
The escape was at once reported at the Sheriff rs
Office, but as the fellow had only been convicted
of trifllng misdemeanor and his absence
would be of benefit to the county, no efforts
we're then put forth to recapture him. Since
then, however, information has been lodged |
with the police authorities that Lee had com
a vagrant, and now nothing will be left UNI
done to regather him to the fold.
ErURNED.-Deputy Sheriff f. J. Powers
returned from Woodbridge
after having safely delivered Timothy
Corpy to the care of Drs. Langdon & Clark,
Of the insane asylum. Mr.. Powers
says that that institution is in all respects
model one the inmates are we'll cared for,
and everything about the asylum indicates
that the gentlemen who manage it understand
their business.
TwINs.-Mr. John D. Kersey yesterday
received the happy tidings that he was the
ather of twins-two girls. All very well
We congratulate the father and mother, and
The best that we can wish the new corners is
hat they may grow up to be as estimable
aides as their mamma is.

When asked why he was induced to
commit such an act he said: "My sis
ter loved me So well we thought the best
tning we could do would be to get mar

He was further asked If he did moi
