A Now Elevator at canton.

rates the three grain elevators now al Canton, In
this county, and the Northern Central Railway
Company have decided 10 increase their facili-
ties, and during the coming summer will construct
another elevator locating Il In the vicinity Of the
others. The new building will have storage ca
pscity Of one and a-haif million bushels, and will
grain from vessels. This, with the arrangements
now In use nj their other elevators and at the Gle
vAtors OF the Baltimore and Ohio Company nj Lo-
Gust Point, for handling water-borne grain, will
guarantee free and regular accommodation % this
Important branch Of trade. The completion Of
this elevator and the new &C" house now under
construction at Locust point win give Daltimors
an aggregate storage capacity Of over six rillion
bushels, promising largely increased receipts and
shipments Of grain, and placing that port In this
respect on equal footing with the other great sea-
board cities.

Entertainment ut Lutherviils Seminary.

The Junior Glass Of Luthervilis Female Seminary
gave IN entertainment on Friday night Of last
week which proved an entire success. The pro-
gramme consisted Of n farce entitled "No Cure, No
Pay readings by DR.. Morris. and the charming
opereite, Little Red Riding Hood" The charac-
tiers In the farce were all taken by members of
Junior Class, all Of whom sustained their parts
with credit, especially Miss Florence Mitchell,
whose rendition Of the character Of the deaf old
lady was wonderfully clever piece Of acting. OF
course the readings by DR.. Morris need no com.
men,. they being always exceptionally fine. The
entertainment closed with the operette, Prof. Jas.
$. Nussear, musical director, and that Il was
thoroughly appreciated by the discriminating
audience was attested by the frequent applause.
The chorus was wonderfully well trained, showing
much careful practice. The solo parts were
crcditably sung by Miss Anna Lily as Queen -
Miss J. Nitterauer rs "Mother;" Miss Maggie
Reese as Little Red Riding Hood" and Prof.
ionee as "The Wolf" The trio In the second act
by Misses Reese and Nitterauer and Prof. Ysnce
was particularly 6ne. But the gem Of the evening
was the ballad, Kerry Dance" by Miss Reese,
who sang with grace and spirit that was indeed
charming. =
When the curtain fell Prof. Turner thanked the
audience Tor their attention and announced that
the remainder Of the evening would DO given up
10 social intercourse, which was by no means the
least enjoyable part Of the evenings entertainment
AZ 1880 the guests NIL departed, well pleased with
the efforts Of the "The Junior Glass of'si."
