The literary entertainment last Mon
day evening was well attended, and
enjoyed by all. The singing by the
little folks was delightful and excellent.
Pieces were sung by Mrs. d. Morse,
Mrs. G. Blood, r. p. Stevens and F.

Ashbell Hand and wife came very
near meeting with a serious accident
on Tuesday of last week as they were

He mad just time to turn his own horse

The singing convention here last
Thursday and Friday was o decided
success, We think every one present
at the concert Friday evening went
away feeling that they had passed the
evening very pleasantly. There were
a goodlY number of singers from other
towns present, and willingly helped to
add to the enjoyment of the occasion
by singing songs &c. We may not be
q judge Of good singing, but we think
the singers all deserve praise, and
especially the young singers. There
was great merriment over the perfor-
mances of the Derby band who were
present, and labored hard to bring
forth music from a set of carpenters
| tools but did not succeed. 1t was
probably the fault of Mr.. White the
leader and chief musician of the band,
who seemed greatly surprised and
frightened, that with his best efforts
he found it impossible to turn out
music with q two inch anger. Mr..
White was called upon Friday after.

Mr.. Editor. The assertion made by
LEO" in recent issue of your v'tlu-
able paper can be substantiated,
Notwithstanding the explicit denial
of the Lancaster Gazette. No mention
was made of ladies at all, it referred
Iaerely to young men from Lancaster
blowing horns through our streets at
midnight, and further, the party above
mentioned were not charged with
drunkennsss at all. This latter charge
was made generally, taking in Ian
caster and adjoining towns and can
also be backed up by proof Publish
