NH. and Mrs. y. K. HOFFMAN gave an ex-
cellent entertainment at Lyceum Hall last
Thursday evening. assisted by a number of
pupils and others. Those who were absent
missed most agreeable performance. One
of the pleasing features was the variety, so
that although over two hours in length, the
concert was not tresome, Considerable new
musical talent was brought out on this occa-
sion, and Of this we win speak more particu-
larry, without Intending in any way to belittle
the talent of those better known as mnsi-
clans. Miss Annie Holman delighted all by
her singing. She sang easily, sweetly and
with taste. Miss vislsie Mcc ready gave evil
dence of good voice and Of promise as a
singer, as also did Miss Lizzie Titus. Miss
Belle Rice showed careful training, and
the piano solos and duets of Misses
Holcombel and Finpey, Misses Emily
Pierson aud Mamie Skilman were creditable
in performance and pleasing in selection. Mr..
c. Al. Davis, although well known as a mu-
stefan, appeared for the first time as a solo
violinist. He played well and showed smooth
bowling and ability to master difficulties.
Added to tlIese, were pieces on violin by Mr..
A. l.. Pierson, vocal solos by Mrs. Maggie
Titus, Miss Annie Hoffman, and Miss Ida
Pierson duets by Mr.. aad Mrs. Titus,
Messrs. Herr ana Hoffman, and quartets by
the "Wenoem " Quartet. Mrs. Herr recited
in an admirable way an amusing piece en-
titled Hesekiah Beaott.'' ga -

ers of the held by ndry persohs against the
Delaware Valley Farmers and Mechanics Agricultural
Society the pdersgned were appointed committee
make statement of condition, and 70 propose
plan for adoption the approach ing annual meeting
of our association to he he'll in Lambertve, We'd
nesday January 18th. 1881. at ten o'clock A. NJ.
We find after a careful investigation of our agairs
that the resent Indebtedness is six Thousand dollars
For about tgo-irds of this amount few officers Of the
society have made themselves individually liable This
burden they unwilling carry lCngef and it Is not
reasonable just expect it them. We find frth-
err that on our books recorded the names of 1877
stockholders representing two hundred shares of
capital stock An ofyy dollars per share
on this two hundred shares of stock, will pay of
entire Indebtedness We do not ask the stockholders
give this amount of money but do most edraess
" ask them at nert annual meeting and make
themselves Individually table for II.
Our lease has six years yet to rum with privilege of
continuing 1t for 1--WE years longer grounds track
and buildings in good order and viii need but
little expense during that lime reputation for
holding good exhibitions in all the different depart
is established and we believe with prudent
management and fair share Of the public patronage
In the future that the entire amount of indebted
be paid by the time of the expiration of
lease.
We respectfully submit this proposition to our stock
holders and creditors for their careful consideration
and action at the coming annual meeting II 1t is ae-
cepted. we will cordially unite with them and do our
best to carry successfully fair If it is not ac
cepted and acted upon desire, shall then feel
compelled to close and wind up the affairs of our
society speedilyand as advanageously as we can,
