CLARxsBrRG, W. Va, May IA gentle
man to-day concerning the Central Penn
sylvsnia Railroad, said that work would bt
commenced BY the first of July, ut which
time most Of the proposed road would bt
underseontract. He regretted that the grade
and route had not been estabHshetA soon
er. however, approved of the location ~ the
depot, opposite the fair grounds, osTths
north side of the West Fork river, wtich
would more thoroughly secure successful
competition.
Considerable excitement prevails anon c
the local candidates here, who have sub.
mitted to- the action Of the Democratic pri-
mary elections. The canvass is being well
made and the contest exceedingly close and
uncertain, especially so for the Office of the
Clerk Of the Circuit Court; consequently the
friends Of the two candidates for this posi-.
ton were greatly surprised to-day by the an
Monument of third in the person OF Thos.
p. Brennan, Esq, a very popular gentle
man, who has held several important trusts
and is now Councilman from the First ward
Of this city. He is generally conceded TO
be very formidable adversely.

A Mu.i al Event.
The event of the season in our city was
the grand concert given by the St. Cecilia
Quar,ettc of Washington, b. c., at the City
Hall and was a most ENJOYABLE affair. The
hall was filled bv one of the most elegant
and appreciative audiences that ever attend
ed n performance in our city, and they were
amply repaid by the excellent performance
of the quartette The opening number was
the Hunting Song byth quartette and to
say that the execution was admirable was but
feeble praise. Then came "Cheertulness
by Miss Evan and Mrs. Powell, in which
was given an opportunity for the exhibition
of their truly wonderful voices, The
Clang of the Wooden Shoon, by Miss
Henrietta Hall Mills, was sang with pathos
and sweetness which captured the hearts
of the audience Sunset, by Miss Dct.
weller, was rendered in such an ad-
mirable style as 10 call for
an encore. In the Brazilian Bird song,
Miss Evan displayed the great purity of
her voice. The concert more than met the
expectations of the most critical and ap.
prcciative audience that ever graced a simi.
lar performance in our place, and the ability
of the 1uartptta 80 r-:..- ~..tp' t"i''.---. -
n musical character was fully demonstrated.
Ii is n shame, however that Clarksburg
with all Of lis wealth and culture cannot
afford n hall in which public exhibitions can
be had with some pleasure to patrons.
