music 10 good execution on brass instru-

the programme was a solo upon the violin,

deserved encore. The flute solo by Miss Lulu

was very pleasing, and the audience was
most agreeably entertained. The Company

to most of our good people, and did not
meet with their approval, it was not well

to greatly enlarge his present handsome

to the second floor will be taken down and
the space now occupied by it added to the
length OF the room. The partition between
the storeroom and the room now occupied
as a law Office by Messrs. Edle and Meyers

will be erected opening on to Main Cross
street, and the balance of the space will be
thrown into the storeroom, making it at least
one third larger than it now is. The second
floor will be fitted up in rooms to be occu-

rent. Work will be commenced upon the

Editor Herald,
Dear Sir Il wish TO contradict the story be-
ing circulated that favor the nomination of
Arthur at Chicago and am opposed to Blaine.
As ] view it that the delegates from this
congressional district VIII be instructed for
Blaine, is already a settled fact. Blair and
Cambria having instructed their delegates
for him, and it being well known that large
majority of the Bedford county Republi
cans favor his nomination, certainly settles
this question. This being the fact if elected
will deem it my duty to concur with them
in electing delegates who will represent the
interests of James G. Blaine, in the Chicago
convention.
Respectfully Yours,

EDITOR HERALD In view of the APP
preaching primary election on the 9Th Of
April, at which time delegates to the State
Convention will be selected, il may not be
out of place to say few words in regard to
the political outlook in this section. Blaine
leads all other candidates in Berlin and
Br0thersyalley for the Presidency. Lincoln
has many warm friends, who desire to see
him placed first on the ticket, while every
body wants him TO have the second place.
Edmunds, the distinguished senator from
Vermont, has some enthusiastic friends
among the very stsunchest party men. So
you see, Mr.. Editor, we have Blaine, Lin
coin and Edmunds Republicans, who vii
all support the Chicago nominee. But
thank the Lord, the race ofCoffroth- Pattison
Republicans is totally extinct. If the mon
grel politicians and played-out Office hold
ers, the Coiroth- Pattison band of Republi-
cans of your town, expect to find anybody
in this neck of the woods who will sympa-
thize with them in their nefarious work of
creating discord within the party, they will
be sadly disappointed. In this part of the
political vineyard we are Internationally
opposed to bosses, and especially those who
draw their inspiration from the Scientific
Cofiroth or tie Extra-SessiOn PattisOn.
Don't be fooled, boys; any man who aided
in electing Pattison Governor, and thus
threw his influence against the gallant Gen.
Beaver is politically damned and let all the
people say amen.
