We most cheerfully endorse every word of
the following complimentary notice, which
we find in the last Owego Record: "The
Delavan House in Elmira. ranks among the
best hotels of the State of New York. Mr..
G. L. SMITH, the genial proprietor, is quite
well known in Owego, having been a few
years ago owner of the Ahwaga House. His
reputation as caterer to the public is of the
best, and his long experience in the business
at TOwanda, Owego, Bethlehem, and other
places, secured for him large and favorable
acquaintance with the travelling public. The
Delavan is doing a prosperous business which
is fully deserved. The table is unexceptiona-
bic and the beds are unsurpassed for cleanli-
ness and comfort, while attentive servants
prevail in the various departments. We
commend the Delavan to the best cOnsidera-
ton of the public. See advertisement in
another column"

exclusively to ink, hereafter.
Ed. Dunaway is too happy for any use.
He is sorry, he says, he cleaned the rest

constantly ilumined with benign
smile-a regular 6by.9 smile. See?
The question was sprung yesterday,
that Radtord was not citizen, and con-

The Telegram and Phaeton both ar

will enter into their respective trades
to-day. The Telegram was very heavily
ladened down the water being almost
up to her guards, and among her load
was 1000 hickory broOms from Monroe

The Courier was expected to arrive
early this morning, and also the We'll
come, but which one the Transporta-

pills
Germania Hall last evening was filled
to its utmost with the friends OF the
pupils and Mrs. Sheib, on the occasion
of this, the first Pupils Soiree" given
by this lady's scholars this season.
Mrs, Sheib has abundant reason tor
feeling proud over the efforts put forth
by those of her pupils, whose names
appear on the programme, and gave
evidence OF the careful training they
have received from her.
Prominent among those deserving
especial mention was Miss Agnes Rose,
who sang a selection by CAM, Sing
sweet bird" very nicely and with re-
markably distinct enunciation.
Miss Ida Clifton followed in Scenes
that are brightest" by Wallace, in
which her voice was more perfectly con-
trolled and stronger than when we last
heard her, showing remarkable improve.
ment over last season, and reflected
great credit upon her teacher; as also
did her rendition OF the "Enchantment
Waltz" by Schoeller, difficult compo-
sition that proved the extreme tfexibili-
ty of her voice.
Miss Flora Williams, OF Martins Fer
nv, made her first appearance as pupil
Of Mrs. Sheib, singing with remarkable
taste and spirit Three Sailor Boys"
by Marzials; and "The bird that came
in Spring." by Benedict; this young lady
promises to be one OF our best sopranos,
and with close application and study,
connected with her exceptionally rich
and powerful voice will win for herself
a repctation to be envied.
Taken as a whole, the soiree last even
ing was the best given by any body OF
pupils in this city this season.

A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
Two Old Army Lads Meet after Eighteen
Years Separation.

Years Separation.
One OF those remarkable condolences
which only occur once in awhile in a
life time, was witnessed by number OF
gentlemen yesterday in the Hall OF the
House of Delegates.
Eighteen years ago two beardless boys,
each OF them eighteen years OF age, and
both OF them youthful soldiers in the
Confederate army, by the circumstance
of war were brought together for the
first time in the prison hospital at Fort
Delaware, a noted Federal prison pen
during the war. They occupied adjacent
cots in the same ward. Ii was
but natural that an acquaint-
ance and friendly and kind
feeling should spring up between
the youthful soldiers under these pecu.
liar circumstances. Within few weeks
they recovered from their respective
maladies. and being discharged from the
hospital were sent back into the prison
barracks and placed in separate apart
ments. Their paths diverged and never
crossed again, and neither had any sub.
sequent knowledge OF the fate OF the
other.
On yesterday, while ex-Speaker Moi
felt was occupying the chair, member
of the House requested him to step into
the cloak room to be introduced to a
gentleman from Baltimore who was here
on business relating to coal interests in
connection with the railroad bill. After
the usual introductions the Bal
timoie gentleman commenced TO
talk OF the business matters in
which he was interested, when Mr.. Moi
felt suddenly stopped him by saying,
excuse me for interrupting you, but
didn't we occupy adjoining cots in the
Delaware hospital in 1882"
A clap OF thunder in a clear sky could
not have been more startling than the
inquiry. A moments pause aud then
a throwing aside OF hat and coat, re-
clasping OF hands, and the boys who
have grown into mature manhood
with bearded faces soon forgot
coal, legislation and all such
matters. and were living over again the
days when they were "hard-up."
The Baltimore gentleman is Mr..
Harry Black, the superintendent OF the
largest gas coal company in the coun-
try. He was formerly OF Cumberland,
and is quite noted gentleman. The
reunion was witnessed by several, all of
whom enjoyed 1t as much as the partici-
pants.
