The Concert.
The concert Tuesday evening, under
the auspices of the Ladies Aid society
of the Congregational church, was a
great success. The stage, by the mge-

drop curtain, etc., fitted without the
driving of nail or the breaking of plas.

nard. The programme was very long
the overture being DELAYED until 9 o clock,
and the closing duet waking the echoes,
Wednesday morning. Our visitors,
Editor Wyard and wife. and Mr.. and
Mrs. z. A. Clough, of Darlington, and
Mrs. Graham, of Jamestown, acquitted
themselves with great credit, although
Mr.. Clough was suffering with bad
cold. Mrs. Graham is charming little
lady, who reads finely, with style all
her own, and was recalled after the
rendition of her last selection. The
instrumental music was very accepta-
ble. Mr.. Allen is a particularly fine
violinist. Mr.. Enger sustained his we'll
known reputation as performer on the
cornet, while the judge carried himself
like an old veteran. Mr.. Stork, in sing
ing of his mother-in-law, was recalled
and responded i'll characteristic style.
The tableaux were elabolate and we'll

sang creditably. Perhaps the most en-
joyable thing of the evening was the
solo and quartette, in which Miss Thlrza
Gimblet sang the air of ''My Gentle
Nell" Miss Gimblet has particularly
fine voice, and was ably assisted by
Mrs. J. n. Brown, alto, Mr.. Wyard,
tenor, and B. b. Brown, basso. Mrs.
Bryant and Mrs. Wyard presided at the
piano. The receipts of the evening
were 500.
r. G. Cooper estimates his crop, by
the present outlook, at 25 bushels pei
acre. Mr.. Cooper is very conservative
man, aud his estimate is no doubt q
fair one. He expects the article to start
in at Is cents per bushel; and be worth
$1.O in the spring.
