Since the paper has changed hands
it has put on more dignity than usual
and asks for nothing but matters of
fact in all its transactions, and | am
glad to see it. One thing am sure of
and that is, the paper has improved
very much under its new Infringement
and now takes its proper place among
the first local papers of the State. 1t
always has held its columns open for
the benefit of the farming community.
and l am glad the same interest is
manifested still, and we hope to be
benefited thereby.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.

A large audience was present at tb
second entertainment of the q. l.. an,
T. ociety, held at the opera house il
TINS city on Friday evening last. TIL,
programme was varied, and as a wlsole
well received. The singing by Mis-
hooker, OF Otsego Lake, was very fine
and was received by the large audienc,
present with marked approval. Hel
rendition on the organ of the Mock
ing Bird was received with Iong-con
tinued and deafening applause. We
earnestly hope that at no distant day
she may again favor us with more OF
her choice selections.
The programme, as rendered. was as
follows:
l. Song-Mss Hooker.
z. Reading-Mr. L.. Berka.
8. Recitation-Miss Richardson
4. Song-Miss Hooker.
.. Recltation-A. II. Swarthout.
D. Declamation-L. Berka.
T. Reading. .. Hadley.
3. Song-Miss Hooker.
y. Recltation-A. III. Swarthout.
III. instrumental Music-Miss Hook
er.
The song, Lorena," by Miss Hook
er, was sweetly sung, and was loudly
applauded.
The reading of - bv Mr.
H. Berka, was clear and distint, but a
little too much in the same tone of
voice all through to correspond with
the character of the piece selected.
Sunday Morning Church Service. -
by Miss Richardson, brought down the
house. Miss Richardson is n vouno
lady from South Branch attending
school in this city, and, undoubtedly.
oeiilg an utter stranger to appearing ON
the stage before so large and criticising
audience, felt considerably embarrass-
ed. She is entitled to much credit
and we hope she may favor us again
before leaving Grayling.
Miss Hooker's singing of the song
: Paul Vane, like the first, was we
received.
Mrs. Mahitable Mcbride wants to
be Mason "-recitation by Mr.. A. II. |
owarthout-was simply immense and |
was delivered in a pleasing and agree
'bie style. She ought by all means to
nave been II Mason.
The defamation by Mr.. l.. Berka-
The Irish Orator, O'Connell was
we'll received and heartily applauded
dr B., as a deelaiiner, is more of
uccess than as II reader.
The reading of THE Tramp's Sto-
y" zone of Will NJ. Carleton's cele-
'rated poems) by Mr.. j. O. Hadlev.
vas well read, and was received with
The song" Side by Side by Miss
locker, was also we'll received.
Curfew must not Ring To Night"
defamation by Mr. A. II. Swarth-
ut-was delivered in happy and eff
'c'ive style, and was received bv the
udience with long-continued applause.

The examination OF Miss Katie Hill,
on q charge Of arson, was to have taken
place in Justice Flanningham's court
this afternoon at l o'clock, but II didn't.
When the case was called the defendant
did not appear and 1t is evident she has
again skipped out. Her friends played
. bold bluff in bringing her back and
have got away with It safely BY sending
her away the second time.
The facts Ia connection with the case.
as ascsrtained by the News, are as fol.
lows: Deputy District Attorney Huf.
faker was In San Francisco and met the
young lady. He was informed by the
District Attorney that o requisition
would be sent him for her. he an.
swered by telegraph that Miss Hill
would accompany him to Virginia with
out q requisition. When they arrived
in Gold Hill Constable Copeland met
Mr.. Huffaker OF the depot. who said
Miss Hill would put in an appearance
for examination at any time the case
would be set for. He aitervard told
his superior officer the same. Constable
Copeland got his warrant for her
arrest yesterday. but the young lady
could not be found. All that could DO
ascertained OF her whereabouts was that
she had been at the house Of her coun-
s.l-woodburn. It Is known that In
the afternoon OF the day she arrived
Gsrhsrt. the livery stable man. procured
her valiss from the Office OF Mr.. Huffa.
ksr and 1t Is presumed drove her out Of
town for a second time.
An explanation from the officials who
should have seen that Miss Hill was
held for examination would seem to DO
in order.
