hour appointed for the performance to
open the court room was com fortably
filled. Frof Peck had arranged
very good programme which was gone
through with in fine style. 1t is i'm
possible for us this morning to partic.
ularize, and we will just state that all
did well their parts, which we believe
are the sentiments Of the entire audi
ence. For the short time the class
had for rehearsal and practice we
doubt if the entertainment could have
been improved upon. We should like
to take the programme and comment
on each performance separately, but
time will not permit. At the close
Prof. Peck announced that a second
term Of lessons would be commenced
on Monday next, and that if any new
scholars wished to join, a rudimental
course would be given, and an hour
or Two devoted to that branch, aside
from the advanced course. The Pro.
fessor has certainly proved himself
master of the art, and any one wish
ing thorough knowledge of vocal
music should take advantage of the
present opportunity.
Next Friday evening, Feb. 81,
the citizens of Tidioute and vicinity
will have an opportunity to show their
liberality and sympathy toward suffer

same time get the worth of their money
and more to. The young men of that
place have perfected arrangements for
an entertainment to be given at the
opera house, by home talent, which, it
former similar performances are any
criterion, will be worth goiug long
way to see. The entertainment will
be varied to suit all tastes, and many
telling hits will doubtless be made on
the old fogies of Tidioute, in the orig.
inal farces entitled "Our New Tan
merry" and "a Slippery Day" But
let the play be what it may, the oh.
ject for which it is gotten up is most
worthy one, and should he patronized
by all who can possibly make it a
point to attend. 1t may be that some
of our citizens would like to aid the
cause; if SO they can learn full par
ticulars from Mr.. d. w. Clark Jr.,
Tidioute, Pa, the poor mans friend
and sympatbizer Of suffering humanity,
and "the thrue frind ofthe hard-trod.
den down laborin' man." May success
attend their every effort in behalf of
these starving people.

1t is reported that Robert Guiton,
an old hunter, was recently killed by

on little Coon Greek in Forest county.
When discovered, the man and bear
were lying near each other dead and
horribly lacerated, indicating there
had been a desperate struggle between
them. We are without further par.

Well, if that isn't the very worst
insult that could be offered to our
veteran bear-slaySr. The idea

who has done more to rid our forests
