The X. of III. gave public initiation at
the Academy of Music Monday evening-this |
time putting the candidate through the Sec
ond Degree. A large audience witnessed |
the trials and miseries of the poor fellow,
who we presume is yet alive, but we have |
no positive knowledge that such is the fact.
All the actors did well their parts, and were
greeted with rounds of applause at the in
teresting situations. No doubt it was warm
work for the tormentors as well as the can
could not have it otherwise.
The concert given by the ladies of the Bap-
list church last Friday evening, was one of
pest yet wherein local talent alone called for
he approval of the public. The programme,
With one exception, was followed strictly,
without halt or hindrance, and the whole en-
ertainment contained no lonesome" mo-
nents: even the babies were wide-awake
md full of smiles to the end. The singing
II all was good, and of some exceptionally
inc. We do not care to name any particular
person in this connection, where all did so
veil, and we are no musical critic to dissect
he various parts and give their eXcellences
ach in Itself; but we do say that we were
greeably disappointed, and await with
Measurable anticipation the coming of more I
# the same kind. The fair "boss' of the
oncert showed that she was fully equal to
he task she had taken upon herself, and we
10 hope there is some young gentleman in
he Valley capable of inducing her to make
his her permanent home. She would be n
desirable acquisition to any community. If
but what's the use talking? We're old and
ray headed and married, and can only sug-
est.
The festival which followed was rs festivals
Usually are, excepting that the large crowd
n attendance quickly ate up all the good s
Kings provided, and loudly cried for "more."
The ladies cleared $40, and if the quantity of
atables had postponed" with the eaters, {
hey would have run the amount over 800.
The audience at the concert was about the
argest we ever saw in the Academy. The l
aides desire us to return their thanks for
hose assisting, and for the many kind favors
eceved.
