The concert by The Fisk University
Jubilee Singers at Academy Hall,
last evening, drew a full house,
as it deserved. The company
seemed 10 have gained in artistic exc
cution and fullness of harmony during
the years since their previous appear

have detracted from the flavor of origi-
nality which their singing first afford.

was listened TO with delight, his voice
being excellent, and the solos by Miss

NEEDING DELLs,-Thc residence NatI
pour townsman, Charles G. Vain
wright, Esq, was the scene of glad fes.
tivilics on Wednesday evening of this
week, the occasion being the marriage
of'hs eldest daughter Abbic to Frank
a. Farnsworth, of the firm of Farms
worth & Chapman. The service was
performed by Rev. S. l.. Il. Speare,
and witnessed by good number OF
relatives and friends. Our ncighbor-
ing cities, Burlington and Vergcnncs,
were well represented, several school
mates of the bride at the latter place
bringing congratulations, and adding
TO the pleasure of the evening. 1t was
q happy circumstance that SO many of
the relatives on both sides, from the
venerable grandmother of ninety to the
niece of seventeen months, could be
present. Flowers, abundant and
choice, lent their grace and beauty,
and the presents were rich and rare
both in quality and abundance. No
labels designated the thoughtful
friends; but set of elegantly dccorat-
ed cups and sauccrs gave conclusive
evidence that the Chicago and Middle
bury express can do its work with
safety and dispatch. At eight O'Clock
the kindly "good by" was spoken and
the happy twain left for q brief tour to
New York and vicinity. We arc glad
that they do not follow the example of
so many Of our young Vermonters and
make their home at distance.
