Vailrs He brought the mail to West Goshen, and got lost trying to find his home, but at last suc- ceeded by the help of guide.

 Nearly all the tobacco has been sold at satisfactory prices. The prospect for another year does not look so favorable, tobacco is low now. Those who sod first were lucky. We know of five farmers in this vicinity whose crop of tobacco together brought over $300O. The value of the five farms would not exceed $25,0O0 These farms have paid 12 per cent interest on tobacco alons.

This town is fortunate in having live Con- gregational minister. who believes in going ahead. and not only that but in pushing away obstructions hence Mission Circle of young ladies was established. and they to raise funds for their object, were encouraged to organize course of entertainments. to consist of Lectures, Concerts, Readings, and the like refining attractions at the Citizens Hall.
 The Rev Mir. Hallock first gave lecture on Volcanoes, but Dr. Beckwith gave us 8 similar enc two years ago, and not large audience was gathered for that evening.
 Mir. Hibbards reading was better attended, as was Mir. Washington Gladden's lecture on Gold, but last Wednesday evening witness ed great gathering to hear the Orpheus Glee Club from Hartford Mir. Croft facetiously introduced them as the Orphans from Hart ford, alludiug to misprint in some paper The performances were both instrumental and vocal, the instruments consisting of piano. flute. violin, violoncello and eight or more brass instruments. A cornet solo was particularly admired, but the vocal music was most popu- lar. J. Allen Frances made his first appear ance in the Irish Wedding" was encored, and gave another capital song. Later he sang the Laughing Song," and soon every person in the house joined in the ha, ha, chorus His encore song that time wasss comical as his pre- vious songs. though called Prevention of Cru city to Animals hepeople seemed determin- ed to keep him before them, and he was again called back, but only gave parting bow in response. They were obliged to bring chars into the aisles and pack closely to furnish seats, but everybody was delighted with the Orphans and many accompanied them to the hotel, where after an oyster supper they had more music and dancing. This so whetted the appetite that the following day-s regular weather breeder-a sleighing party was inaugurated, and another oyster supper, and 8 more general dance succeeded at the Warren House. The storm of Friday will put su end to the sleigh rides for the present, as drifts in some places almost block the roads but it is expected that Dr. Woodruff, of N.
