The expression, The Germans are, as
nation, happy one" is proverbial: But
its truth was never better illustrated than
on Thursday night at the Masnnerchol
concert and ball. The Germans OF our
town were out 10 full force and the Ameri'
can was not wholly debsrred. The enter.

in Martins Ferry, and to say that socially
il was g success, would be merely repeat
ing the expressions OF all thooe present.
The affair was opened BY the rendition OF

Mr.. Mann has been before the public 30
frequently that all are acquainted with his
elegant tenor voice aud its capacity SO it
is needless to say that he acquitted him.
self honorably on this occasion. Mr.. Eich

public appearance in Martins Ferry, but

Martins Ferrys musical talent. Lar.

heard by ell, but we believe that when
rendered by Messrs. Mann and Eich, 1t, like
Home, Sweet Home, seems sweeter with
each rendition.
The selections rendered by the society
as chorus were very much appreciated,
especially BY the Americans, to many OF
whom choir composed entirely OF male
voices was something new and not entirely
