Our people will have another opportu-
nifty OF. witnessing one OF Miss Lula
Hurst's marvellous exhibitions in the
Masonic Hall next Saturday night. Since
Miss Hurst's appearance here year ago,
she has visited nearly all of the large
cities Of the Ulfited States. The power
which she poss ssses is said to be under
much better control, works quicker and
with far more " onderful results, thereby
making her exit bitions more satisfactory.
A certain propo rtion OF the proceeds OF
the exhibition. will be donated to the
Methodist Chnrci, OF this city. Let
everybody turn out and pack the hall.
It's said that the very large number OF
matrimonial engagements is good sign
OF the times that four young Hen in the
city are in love with the same GIRL. and
that she will have neither one OF them /;
that the two weddings which we're booked
for this month have been pos tponed; that
an elopement will probably take place in
the near future II the old folks don't give
their consent; that large number Of
young ladies will visit Anderson this
Summer; that the prettiest girl in the
State attends the Anderson Female Sem
inary.
Several marriageable young men Of
Rochester, N. b., are in a terrible pickle.
They have heretofore given as reason
for not marrying that they could not
afford the luxury: About a month ago
several marriageable young ladies put
their heads together and prepared adocu-
ment proving conclusively that families
of from two to six (they provided for the
future, you see) can live we'll on 50 u
week. Having disposed Of rents, fuel
and provisions, these artless girls turned
their attention to clothing, and the docu-
ment aforesaid states that the woman who
cannot dress stylishly and save money on
$50 a year ia not worth the marrying.
Then these girls made copies Of the orig:
inal and sent one to each OF the eligible
young men.
The Pioneer Fire Company made It's
first appearance in uniform last Friday
afternoon, and made fine show. The
uniform consists Of red flannel shirt,
with the regular fireman's hat and belt,
and is pretty and attractive. Promptly at
81 o'clock the Company formed in line at
the engine house, and marched off, pre-
ceded by Mayor. Tolly, Chief Cathcart
and Assistant Chief O'Donnell. The
Court House Square was thronged with
people, all of whom were eager to see the
fremen. The Young America Cornet
Band was stationed on the Square, and at
intervals discoursed excellent music.
After parading through several OF the
principal streets, the Company halted on
Main street, opposite Mrs. sadler's resi-
dence, from where IL was to make the run
to the cistern OH the west Of the Court
House, distance of about three hundred
yards. Fire was placed in the engine and
in eight minutes sufficient steam was
raised. The Company ran to the cistern,
made the hose couplings and threw water
in one minute aud twelve seconds. The
hose reel squad then run second time, a
distance of two hundred and fifty yards,
made the hose couplings and threw water
in fifty-five seconds. The fremen were
from their long march, but not
withstanding this the time made, we
think, is remarkably good. The Compa-
ny numbers about fifty members, and is
composed of good material. At no dis
