Entertainments at the II. King Town
HAIL IN


The residents of our thriving village, and num-
bers or its surrounding population. have been
much enlivened and entertained during the past
week by the performances of Prof. X. p. Howard
the celebrated magician and ventrioquist, a pu-
Pill OF the renowned Signor Blitz.
- Prof; Howard gave two entertainments at the
Town Hall last week, on Monday and Wednesday
nights. He began on each evening, with the per-
formance of numerous magical tricks, which
largely composed the audience, and utterly puz-
zling to the elders. But what delighted the chill
dren the most, was the Professors talk with
"Bobby,' the maniBn, through which he display
ed his wonderful powers of ventriloquism.
After great variety of exhibitions, such as
turning water in wine-a feat of interest in a To-
cal option.county, rs he remarked, &C., &c which
were varied each evening, he proceeded to the
rendition of the classic Punch and judy" In
the performance of which he, it is believed, sur
passes his old instructor and master. 1t is truly
wonderful how the performer can keep distinct
the voice and gestures of his various characters
in this play, who talk so necessarily, in different
tones, and execute such lively movements
through the length of time which the full per-
Torrance of the play necessarily occupies. 1t
certainly requires mental and physical strain to
maintain these parts The children were carried
away by what was new and wonderful vision to
them; and the elders were charmed and excited
to unrestrained laughter and applause by the
thorough and finished manner in which the Prof
carried on ma and completed all Of his performan;
sober Judgment, to be genius in his profession,
and the varied entertainment afforded was re-
garded as most agreeable diversion to those of
mature age. as well as to the youthful; but it
was especially valuable 20 youth, to whom 1t was
all reality. To the Professors other accomplish
ments he has added considerable musical talent.
Tie sang beautiful little song, entitled: my
Little Cabin Home" accompanying himself on
the piano, and. most remarkable feat, added by
the power of yentriloquy, he accomplished the
chorus in perfe ct imitation of the cornet.
The Professor left very, favorable impression
of his performances behind him; and promised
some of his friends here that he would probably
return during the Christmas holidays. and give
our people another entertainment with a new
programme. We can assure him large and en-
thusiastc audience, even exceeding in numbers

Out OF His Element.

Mr.. EDITOR AT the temperance meeting in
the Court House, Bel Air, last Monday night, 1
was surprised to hear one OF the speakers depart
from the course pursued by the others and advise
voters to cast their ballots for the Republican
candidate for Sheriff.
In this many of his hearers regarded him as i'm
prudent, to say the least, for 1t was understood
that the meeting was not in the interest of either
political party but for the advancement of the
prohibition cause. He has therefore justly laid
himself open to criticism.
Aside from the injury that the cause of the Sa-
viour suffers from an interference by his minis
tiers affairs of the world, any personal political
allusion was certainly very unbe coming in the
speaker. / am informed on good authority that
the reverend gentleman is not even an American
citizen, either by birth or by adoption, and that
he has expressed his determination not to become
a citizen Of this country. 1t was therefore out of
place for him. the citizen of another country, to
enter the political arena as the champion of a
candidate for local office, particularly as from
his short residence In Hartford county he can not
be expected to know personally all of the cand-
dates. Something may be pardoned on account
of his youth, but he should not forget that the

Farmers Club was held September 23d. at the
residence of Mr.. Prank C. Norris, all of the MEM
bers being present but one. After amending the
constitution the regular question for the evening
was taken up as follows: THE proper method
of saving corn and fodder" 1t was thoroughly
discussed. II was the unanimous expression that
both corn and fodder should be carefully housed
as soon as their condition would prevent spelling
The comparative condition and value of fodder
carefully protected from weather. and that re-
naming in the field to be cut and dug out of ice
and snow, was amusingly dwelt upon by the
members, some of whom had evidently seen
(probably their neighbors' y trouble in feeding
stock on some cold winter morning.
1t was also decided, for several good reasons,
that fodder should be run through cutting box
before being fed.
The committee of inspection reported the
buildings, fences, SC, in good shape. The condi-
ton of Mr.. Norrs's cattle and sheep was favora-
bly, commented upon, and his corn crop reported
to be above the average.
