The Campaign Open.

Capt. r. n. Lewis openedthe cam
paign of 'SS by an address TO the De
mocracyof the east side of the sheh-
andoah river, at the FairmountS School
House, on Saturday, Jan. 18th. He
spoke for an hour and a-half before
his audience, who gave him the closest
attention and frequent applause
The greater portion of his admirable
address was directed to the consid-
Grafton of the tariff question, a sub
ject that Mr.! Lewis is thoroughly con-
versant with; in fact, there are but
few other public speakers better in
formed. AT the close of his address
he spoke at some length of the ben
efits and advantages it would be to
the party to return our present in
cumbent in Congress. Mr.. Wilson'S
thorough familiarity with the ques-
tions of the day and the needs of the
people, and his standing with the
speaker and fellow-members of the
House, puts him in a position where
by he can aid his constituents as nc
ne1u member could. b.

The Till Family Rock Band Con-
cert Company.

u E H..EHL =. ra#AL d
The concerts given by this family
in the United States, England and
Canada have awakened an interest
and curiosity quite unequaled in the
history, of public entertainment
The Rock Harmonicon used in these
performances forms a novel feature
and attracts much attention. 1t is
rude in appearance yet in the carry
ing power and quality of tone is
truly brilliant and effective. The
vast amount of patient labor required
from the conception of the first idea
to the gathering, careful sizing, shap-
ing and turning of these stones,
certainly deserves recognition and
encouragement. Nothing could com
pensate for a task like this, unless it
be the successful and gratifying re-
suit. a Number of additional instru-
ments are brought into hse, each
contributing to the novelty and ex-
c~ellence of the performance 1t
would he difficult to name them all
if indeed they had a ame. The
programme is selected with care and
everything secured in perfect accord
with the high moral tendency the
performance is calculated to inspire.
During the two years the Till Family
have been in this country they have
played in all the largest cities of the
Union to immense audiences and re-
ceivcd unstinted praise from the
press and people. Being also heart
lily endorsed by the pulpit, what
need they of an Introduction any
where? The Family were engaged
to play in Holy Trinity Church, New
York City, on the 9th of January
and Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, on
