the Spencer correspondent of the Medina
Gazette mentions rival concert in Spencer
that lasted all night: -The performers,
baby Brown and babies Britten were con-
signed to their respective papas for the |
evening, while their mammas went TO Wei |
lington to take in the concert, and by
some very unaccountable mistake miss |
ed the return train. and when the rest re-
turned they came not. 1t would be hard to
say who felt the keenest pangs at the enforc-
ed separation, the babies, poor little things,
heir mothers, or the DIR. and Charley. Suf- |
fice 1t to say, two wild-eyed looking men |
sailed forth at the first streaks of dawn, in |

impatient mothers sprang from the morn |
ing train, and three babies ceased to
