ENTERTAINMENT - The vocal, in
strumental and dramatical entertain
ment, for the benefit of the German
Luthern Church of this place, was
given in Paul's Opera House Monday
evening. By eight o'clock the hall
was filled with large and apprecia-
tive audience and many were unable
to get seats. The music by the Arion
Band and Prof Hocking's Orchestra
was rendered with marked effect.
The vocalists added much to the
pleasures Of the evening with their
well selected and we'll rendered pieces.
The Cumberland ladies and gentle
men deserve a great deal of credit
for the manner in which they rend-
cred the dramstical part Of the pro-
gramme. Everybody present seemed
to enjoy the performance, and every
thing passed off with universal salts
faction. The financial result, we
learn, was quite encouraging. We
have been requested by the officials Of
the church to thank the public for
their patronage and all parties taking
parts, and especially the ladies and
gentlemen of Cumberland, for the
manner in which they acquitted them
selves.
