The young ladies' society organized a
lew weeks since for the purpose of raising
funds for pipe organ for the NJ. L.
church. They propose to hold chicken

that the first thing toward making a good
squirrel pie is TO catch the squirrels, so
they did not feel it quite safe to advertise
that particular dish-but the squirrel pie
will be there aud your correspondent
purposes TO "take in" that festival, or a,

The musical convention held here last
week was thinly attended by the singers,
not half the number that should have been
present. Prof. Perkins Of Chicago, who
had charge, proved himself to be first
class director. The two concerts were
well attended and the music excellent. |
am sorry that the last concert had to bear
the stigma of Il dance ut lis close. Many
good people considered it an Insult, and
did not attend the concert when they saw
the dance put in at the bottom of the pro.
gramme. There is class of persons
whose heads are rs light rs their heels,
who seem to possess very little sense of
the fitness of things. With them is mat
tiers not what it is, or where it Is, or in
what connection it may be, if they can
only get a dance out of it they seem to
reach the height of their ambition. |
believe this light.toed gentry would enjoy
4 funeral much better if they could only
turn it into dance. ''Oh, consistency,
thou art jewel"
