Some Of our musicians are making

ufacturing centre in the interior of

THE ENTERTAINMENTS The enter
tainment held 10y the Millheim Liter
ary Society on last Friday evening was
attended by large audience. Some
OF the performances were very good,
while others deserve ceGsuring. The
exercises of the evening were opened
with an appropriate prayer by Rev. B.
Hengst, followed by salutatory from
Miss Rose Harter. The lady perform
ed her task in a very creditable man
ner delivering her address in slow,
distinct and correct way. The ora
tion of Rev. J. G. w. Herald on "Ad-
vantages of the international Exhibi-
tion" and Mr.. w. T. Auman's "Broth-

well rendered productions. Several
other orations: declamations and essays
were delivered throughout the even
ing, of which we would say that
the selections of the subjects were good
but that the performers did not do
them justice. The amateur orators
mnst give the study of elocution lit
tie more attention if they would sue
ceed in interesting an audience.
The vocal pieces sang by the Misses
Sallie Musser and Mary Lose, Mr.. w.
T. Auman aud Mr.. J. w. Lose were
rich treats and were ably accompanied
on the organ by Miss Cora Kreamer.
The tableau representing "Queen
Victoria's Royal Court was one of
the best features OF the programme
and was gotten up in brilliant and
tasty manner, making pleasing i'm
preston on all present. Considerable
time and work had been spent on this
tableau, but the participants were re-
warded for their labor by the manifest
appreciation of the audience. Enter
tanning dialogues formed part of the
