Step right forward. Don't say The fair

won'tif every one who has anything TO ex-

total wreck. Mrs. Horn narrowly es-
capped with slight injury.

The missing package of city orders
which were lost in the fall of 1877
have at last been found, cancelled, and
turned over to the City Council. These
orders, amounting to $6,68O.74, to-
gether with two reports of Andrew
Schoffen, then City Treasurer, in the
hands Of the finance committee, were in
the Immediate charge of Mr.. w. E.
Reed. During the excitement of the
fire which consumed the building oc-
cupied by Robinson, Sauber and En-
glish about that time, these papers
became mixed up with others, and
could not be found. Last week while
MI. Reed was looking over some old
papers they were brought to light, and
on Monday were cancelled and deliver
ed to the proper authorities.
On Friday evening last Miss Lily
Runals, assisted by .The Americas
Quartette, of Racine, Mr.. Sebastian
Simonsen. the celebrated pianist, and
Miss Minnie Stryker and Mr.. JAS Cole,
of this city, gave the Kenosha people
decidedly the finest entertainment they
have enjoyed in a long time. The
Opera House was filled with select
and fashionable audience, who Toasted
upon music and recitation, such as
could not but please the most fastidi-
Gus and critical. The rare ability of
Miss Runals as vocalist and elocu-
tionist is so we'll known to Kenosha
people as to require no special lauda-
ton from us. On this occasion she
seemed at her best, and her rendering
of the selections on the programme
was exceedingly fine and heartily ap-
preciated by the audience. The sing
ing by the Americas Quartette, of
which Mr.. Richard Robinson, former
ly of this city, is a member, was very
fine, and was thoroughly enjoyed. The
solos by Miss Minnie Stryker and Mr..
Jas. Cole were we'll received, and the
piano solos by Mr.. Simonsen are pro-
nounced by good judges as being re-
markable in execution, and evinced a
high style of art. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful, and the
performance as a whole was an ex-
ceedingly rare treat.
