The Musical Society gave con
cert, together with some select read
ings and recitations.on Tsesday even
ing. The audience was not large but
very appreciative, especially the male
portion in the rear of the hall, who
indicated their approval of each
piece by stamping and sometimes
yelling. The songs, solos, and in
fact the entire programme were rem
dered most excellently. The lecture
by the colored gemman on "Woman's
Rights was very amusing and kept
the house in roar during lis entire
delivery. Everybody, we believe,
went away well pleased with the en-
tertainment.

MEssRs EpIToRs We noticed in
your last weeks issue a statement of
the contest between the Harmony
Grove and Bakers Ridge Literary
Societies, the result of which was very
ambiguous to the readers Of your
noble paper. We now beg leave to
elucidate the facts in the case.
The first performance, select read
ing, by Misses. Lizzie Hartman and
Anna Long both Of whom read adj
mirably well, decision to 2 in favor
of Miss Hartman, of Bakers Ridge.
Next performance, defamation, by
S. c. Kelley and E. j. EVERY both
Of whom, in the art of declaiming,
have attained the "acme Of perfec-
ton" Decision to 2 in faver of
Everly, Bakers.
Then came the little big man, VIM.
Hart with an eloquent and mastery
Essay on "What Shall the Rising
Generation beY' followed by X. Barb
with a fair Summary Of the United
States" Decision to 2 in favor of
Hart, of Bakers.
Next the orations, by F. Cox, who
as usual gave us laundering torrent
Of eloquence, followed by E. E. Ba-
ker with an eloquent, instructive and
elaborate Grafton containing some
Of the most forcible comparisons, the
boldest metaphors and the sublimest
thoughts. Decision in favor Of F.
Cox,
Next. the debate, upon which we
have no comments to make but suffice
to say that the Judges decided 3 to 2
favor of Bakers Ridge.
Now word in defense Of the Ba-
ker's Ridge singing class, in the first
contest there was no challenge on
singing at all, and at the last two,
portion of the class have absented
themselves from our community, as
they did not know that the Harmony
Choir so badly desired contest on
singing or they would have been
fright on the dot" yet we feel COM
PEELED to say that the harmonious
strains of the Harmonian Choir, were
enough to transport mortals from
earth to the elysium of eternal bliss.
We do most admirably adore that
Choir especially the female portion
of it.
In conclusion we will give a brief
summary Of the three contests. De-
cisiuns rendered as follows; The
first contest performances for Ba-
ker's,l for Harmony, I'd 2 for Ba-
ker's, 3 for Harmony, Sd, 4 for Ba-
ker's, / for Harmony, making in all
10 for Bakers, for Harmony, exclus-
i've of the singing which has not yet
been contested.

THE CHURcHEs.-Rev. G. A. Glib
hons, of the p. E. Church, held SER
vices in Academy Hall, on Sunday
last morning and afternoon.
Rev. E. ]. Marsh preached most
excellent temperance sermon in Acad-
envy Hall on Sunday evening. He
will preach in the NJ. E. Church next
Sunday.
Rev. Snodgrass has to gone Cincin-
natl to General Conference. He will
return next week.
Rev. Dickey held services. morning
and evening in the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday and like several
of ouI other ministers touched on the
temperance question.
Geo. G. Sturgiss made a statement
to the congregation of the NJ. E.
Church last Sunday concerning it's
financial affairs. He started out by
saying the financial condition of the
Church was better than it had been
before for the last twenty-five years,
the envelope system together with the
Socials held by the ladies every month
keeping the finances of the Church
easy. There are still few subscrip-
tions made some months ago, due
the Church, which if paid we believe
will leave the Church entirely clear
of debt.

DEATHS.

Died at her home near Cedar Valley
p. O., in Monongalia Co, after a
lingering illness, of consumption,
on Monday, May 10TH, at noon,
Mrs. NAOMI L. FLOYD, wife of Asel
+. Floyd, 10 the 39th year of her
age.
Mrs. Floyd has been in failing
health for some time, and was under
medical treatment for cancer in the
breast, but the other disease at last
seemed to gain prominence, and
doubtless caused her death. The
deceased was one of those quiet,
peaceful, devoted women, a true wife
and kind mother, and to her family
her death is terrible loss; and as
she was very highly esteemed by
them, SO she will be mourned by her
neighbors and friends. s She had
years ago made q profession of relig-
ion and united with the ME- Church,
and to Rev. sDowntain, whol visited
her thesday before her death, she ex-
pressed her peace of mind and will
lingness to meet the enemy-death,
and left the thesstestimony that our
loss will be cher infinite gain" And
while we part with her in sorrow it is
a comfort to remember her worth of
character and the esteem and re-
spect she had earned while living in
her quiet home and faithfully dis
charging her duty as wife, and moth
er, and neighbor; and even in the
sadness Of the loss her family may
be comforted to believe she died with
out leaving, perhaps, one single enc
my. The praise of such cannot well
be too widely spread or highly spo-
ken of.
Sister, thou went mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze.
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When 1t floats among the trees.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

Ii seems strange that anyone will snffer from
the many arrangements brought on by an i'm
pure state of the blood, when ScoyilI's Blood
and Liver Syrup will restore perfect health and
physical organization. 1t is indeed strength
ening syrup, pleasant to take, and hiss proven
itself to be the best blood purifier ever dis
covered, effectually curing Scrofula, Syphilitic
disorders, Weakness of the Kidneys, all Nervous
disorders and Debility. 1t cor'ects Indigestion.
It makes the old feel young, the young feel
gay, and will invariably drive out of the sys-
tenn the many ills that human flesh and blood
are heir to. Price of large bottle with full d.
rections, 81. a single bottle will prove to you
its merits as health renewer, for il acts like
charm, especially when the complaint is of an
exhaustive nature, having tendency to lessen
the natural vigor of the brain and nervous
system.
Remember We keep this excellent Blood and
Liver Syrup for sale at our drug store in St.
Paul, and do most cordially recommend it to
our customers and all good people. MOVES
