tanned her reputation as vocalist in

"Norine Maurine," solo BY J.
Hoare, was given in manner highly
ereditable 10 him, and proves that
Mr.. Hoare's fine tenor voice has been
highly cultivated, and that probably
he has no equal in this part of the
country.
Wed Better Bide \ Wee, solo
BY Miss Edith Roberts, was sung in
tenderly pathetic manner appro-
pirate to the piece, and moved the
audience to tears. She was enthusi-
astieally eneored, and responded with
the last verse.
We were somewhat disappointed
with the expectation of being treated
to violin solo by Mr.. Frank Hoare,
but we were more than pleased with
the manner i'll which he executed his
part in the overtures, sc.
The Medley Of Patriotic Airs ar
ranged by the Hoare Bros, was pos
itiyely the best instrumental piece
played during the evening. The ar
rangement was faultless, the har-
mony perfect, and the Hoare Bros.

DoDGEvILLE, July 2G, 1851
Dodgeyille is quite lively and seems
prosperous.
Among the many improvements
here the most noticeable are, the resi-
dence Of Robert Owens, a fine brick
yeneered building, almost ready for
occupancy. Next on Main street we
see the fine improvement Of i.
Marks on his heretofore commodious
Motel; having taken away the front
part Of his building he is erecting
thereon three story 81 feet front by
% wide, to be brick veneered, with
fiat roof; and by the way this will
be comfortable home for the weary
traveller, which with his new omni-
bus for conveying passengers to and
from the trains is all that travelling
man can ask.
Adam Eulberg of the Commercial
has also a fine omnibus for the &C
commodation of his guests. These
vehicles are conclusive evidence that
Dodge7ille can and does support
master mechanics, f. w. Stratman
d Co., being the builders of both.
The new depot is to be erected
without delay. Regular trains be-
gan running yesterday, and now two
regular trains arrive at and leave
Dodgeville daily
