ADJUSTMENTS.
The Performance Of ..pinafor,

The Performance of ''IinafOre."
A small audience assembled in the
Opera House, last evening, to hear
Miles Juvenile Opera Company, in the
Opera of "Pinafore. Whether the
weather had anything to do with the
size of the audience, or whether our
people have a sufficient amount of
''Pinafore," cannot be stated, but one
thing is certain, and that is that the
lettle people certainly deserved bet
ter house.
The merits and dement's of the opera
have been 80 frequently discussed that
it is unnecessary to go over the same
ground again. The company last
evening, to use a general expression,
was good with one or two exceptions.
Some Of them have remarkable voices,
especially Miss Jennie Dunn, who
assumed the part of Josephine. She
is little Miss of about nine summers,
and sings in manner that would put
to shame some OF the older persons on
the stage. Miss Ida De Cort as Ralph
RdekstraD susrained the character in
a charming manner. The other lead
ing characters were good, and the
choruses medium. 1t was undoub.ed-
ly the best performance OF "Pinafore"
by Juveniles ever given in this city.

Joseph Kennard Hess, aged years
and months, son of Mr.. James b.
Hess, manager on the Bryan farm of
John b. Brown, Esq, was drowned in
a well at tenant house on that farm

IN the well which had given out and
Mr.. Hess was at the time in Centre
vile for the purpose of obtaining a
new stock to replace the old one. The
old stock was still in the well, but had
been pulled to one side and an OPEN
ing made sufficiently large to permit
the passage through it Of good size
stone pitcher. A daughter of Mr..
Hess, taking the little boy with her,
visited the tenant house. While she

mediately through this small aperture
to the bottom of the we'll, where he

CONCORD QUARTERLY.

Gathering Of the Friends at Fourth
and West streets.
The regular Concord gu rterly meets
ing Of the Friends Society was held, yes
terday, in the Friend (Hicksite) meet
ing house, Fourth and w It streets, thi-
city. There was very good attendance.
During the public meeting addresses
were delivered by Thomas Short and
John Parrish, of Philadelphia, and
Thomas Foulke, OF New York. Lydia
Ii. Price, of West Chester, also spoke,
with solemn and earnest effect. Her Idea
was that perhaps the Friends in breaking
loose from the association of the past; in
doing away with ceremonies, and over
throwing what they deemed superstition
had gone too far. She warned her hearers
Of the danger of becoming iconoclasts, ol
breaking down without building up, and
she feared sometimes that they had de.
stroyed what was not necessary for
themselves, but may have been necessary
for others. She spoke Of the importance
the vital importance of inculcating Q
reVerent spirit before God and man.
Liberality prompted and pervaded the
entire address.
The public meeting closed with .
prayer by Thomas Foulke.
Afterwards q business meeting was
held, at which the state Of the Society
was reported. During this meeting there
was also quite an animated discussion O
the subject OF temperance.

One of the first perplexing que j.
tions arising from the annexation of
Browntown to come up for settlement
is in regard to the registration of the
dogs OF that late suburban settlement.
A Browntown dOg-owner came up to
the police station this morning to in
qulre whether or not he would be re-
quired to have his dog registered, and
after a consultation the police authori-
ties decided as the bulk of the regis
tration for this year is over, not to
make the Browntown dogs liable until
next year. The dog catchers, there
fore, will not be permitted to make
Browntown field for their opera
tions until next February.
Speaking of dog-catchers recalls the
fact that Mike Melancy, dog-catcher
Hunts colleague, has been missing
since he received his last months pay.
He must have found quiet and con-
genial place in which to indulge his
spreeing propensities.

Gentlemen-For years have been a

with terrible ague chills and constipa-
tions. This left nae in 1873 with rack

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on SO completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough so that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know?
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-Worse than that ; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything?
