Fun and music seems 10 be the main
attractions for our amusement lovers
this season, and that is no doubt, the
reason why so light house welcomed
Miss Jane Coombs as Lady Dedlock
and "Hortense' al the Academy last
night The play is certainly good. 1t IS
not only founded on Charles Dickens
interesting novel, Bleak House, but IL
has been made famous by Janauschek
Miss COombs is AT actress far above the
average. and is attractive, both artist
cally and personally She is also well
supported, and really deserves good
houses
The same play will be repeated at the
matinee to-day and ion the last time to-

From IDeS Arc.

Ed RegiSter-I thought | would send you
few notes from our CHURCH" this week.
Death and accidents have visited our town
again. Mrs. Maggie Reese, sister OF Mrs. f.
X. Raney was buried here last Tuesday.
Services conducted by Rev. w. Full in the
Methodist church. Jimmie Morris had his
hand fearfully mangled by the explosion OF
a guu cap, this morning. He was trying to
make it ''go off, by fling it, and it did Ego
off" to his sorrow. His little finger was
torn entirely off and some of the shot went
into his neck. Twas a very narrew escape
indeed, but we trust he will soon recover.
Miss Nettie Collins was thrown from horse
one day last week, but fortunately was not
hurt.
Mrs. ID. +. Reese, and daughter Lizzie, of
1ronton are visiting Mrs. F. Il. Raney.
Mrs. j. NJ. Simonson and son have gone to
Salem Ill. on a visit to her parents and rel
atves.
Miss Alice Bowes, Piedmont is visiting
friends in town.
The picnic Saturday was not as grand
success as the managers anticipated. And
| want to say right here that that picnic was
not Sunday School affair 1t was gotten
up entirely by outsiders and nothing was
said to the Sunday School folks, at least the
officers of the Methodist Sunday School OBJ
ject TO raising money the way they did-by
dancing, the wheel OF fortune and such
amusements-and refuse to accept their con-
tribution of 81. Very Respectfully,
June 18th, 1889. M.

done for such little fellow. Music, 1.-THE

by all. Recitation, 1.-THE harvest of rum,''
by Miss Ida Sullivan, was received with loud
applause. 1t hit the whiskey drinker ami
saloon slgners hard, wish there had been
more of them there to have heardit Read

ceived loud applause, she is certainly fine
reader. Music, Crock a bye baby" by all
the little boys and girls Standing in line
Was beautiful. Reading, zone night with
gin," by j. e. O'Neal was good. Recitation
by Minnie Myers was we'll received. Dia-
logue by four little boys was quite amusing.
Music" Whip twill, twas well done. The
exercises closed by a most excellent and ap-
propriate piece entitled "Am my brothers

who is visiting her sister, Mrs. VIM. HAYS,
near Brunot, Mo.

tact and feeling. These also were.encored.
After the students came the ladies, Miss
Gertrude Schuyler, of st. Louis, and Miss
Newman, of Ironton, singing sweet solos,
while two charming little madens Of some
seven and ten summers, the Misses susan
and Virginia Thomson, gave most prettliy
the courtship of Robin Redbreast and Jennie
Wren. The Misses c. and &. Schuyler sang
= new duet "Arcadia, the BEAUTIFUL" the
words being by the the Chairman of the
evening. A song in praise of our beautiful
valley must surely become 4 favorite.
We shall not be wrong in giving the crown
of the evening to Miss Ellen SCHUYLER, whose
charming songs with banjo accompaniment
SO won the audience that they would hardly
let her go.
Besides music and singing there were some
reading and recitations. Miss n. Thomson
gave a beautiful and pathetic poem, 1.-The
little Hero" and was followed by Mr.. James
II. Chase, whom Ironton is always glad TO
hear, with poem 'The vein ofgold." Mis-.
NJ. Hurlbut's recitation 'The bridge" was
most warmly received, and so were two
stories by the Rev. Edward Osborne, OF
Boston. One of these, a bit of personal 2d-
venture IN search of Il friend supposed to be
drowned, the Rev. gentlemen gave in place
Of a defamation by Mr.. s. +. Deliaven who
was unable to keep his engagement to be
present. The singing of "My country tits of
thee" by the audience led by the students,
brought very enjoyable evening to close.
At the suggestion of the Chair vote of
thanks to the performers was moved by j.
L. Hurlbut, and seconded by VIM. III. Byers,
and unanimously carried.
We must not omit to mention that the hall
was lent for the occasion without charge,
and that the Ironton Brass Band dlScoursed
sweet must; from the balcony for half an
hour before the entertainment begun, there
by adding much to the pleasure ofthose who
came.
The receipts, together with donation re-
ceived next morning, amounted to So 10,
which, after the payment of some small eX-
penses, will be sent on to JohnstOwn.

Saturday night in the Academy ct stus,c.
The occasion was an entertainment gotten

The Excursion at Pilot Knob Last Sun
day.

The Indictment weather last sunday inter-
fered materially with the local attendance
at the picnic at Pilot Knob on that day. The
number of eXcursionists, however was large
and the two trans of eleven coaches prob
ably had a. many as six hundred St. Louis
iuns aboard. The rain also married the pleas
ures of the day for the visitors most of whom
were confined TO the ears during the whole
of their stay. The more ventqresome made
occasional incur>ions into the neishbofilE
woods but the desire to see the sights was
soon quenched by the incesSant rainfall
which continued to pour down until after
O'Clock when the skies cleared and afforded
the eXGuEsionists a couple of hours of
weather that was pleasant overhead, NJ least.
The much advertised dFi!l foF . prize of
$3.50 between competing companies failed TO
appear nor was there any evidence CT
single Cadet in the crowd, so the rain can
not be pleaded rs an excuse Of failure to
live up to the programme. However, II
some of the promised attractions were miss

soss;,. .I.eans of enjoyment that had not been
promised, AH.oHss these was the traditional

such as the wheei vi fortune, man with the
shells, etc, were all there, i{ut, as stated
ai,ore, the unfavorable day prevented ttiti.'
doing the volume of business usually
transacted on similar occasions, The crowd
was orderly and weii-beiiaseh ANIL. With one
slight exception of which we have moi learned
the particulars, no disturbance of any nature
whatever disturbed or diSgraced the occa-
sion. About $50 the trains started back to

AT SECOND HAND.

A Mans Passion TO- Books and a Boy IS
Pa sion of Barter.
"There used to be one man. said tho
secondhand man to Lewiston (yle. (,
Journal reporter "Who came down to sec
me very often. He hasn't been around for
a month, and l think must have moved
away He was n queer chap, and no mis-
take about it. He worked in the Auburn
shoe factories, and, I've heard said, mado
good wages. But he had a liking for old
books, and about every week he visited my
library out there in the corner in search of
something new that was old. His great
hobby was books pertaining TO agriculture
If he could get hold of any of those Board
of Agriculture reports he was just happy
To me they are dry reading, but with him
they were food of keen relish. guess he's
moved off now, tut he must have a mighty
collection of Old books with him. He has
bought enough in my store to supply all the
farmers in the State with agricultural sta.
tistIcs."
At this point in the conversation small
boy came in. He had in his hand pair of
skates. He wa ted to trade them for
sled. "Do you know that every boy is a
born traders' asked the man of stories,
after the boy had gone out. eyes, sir. by
the time boy is five years old he begins to
trade and dicker and swap. It's general,
and l never saw boy who wasn't SO IN
clined. They'll dicker any thing. have a
chance to see something of it. Before ice
and snow came they were all crazy for
marbles, and they'd swap any thing for
them. Later 1t was skates they wanted,
and now the skating has gone they're trying
to swap their skates for sleds. So it goes.
Every thing in its season. It's fun to watch
them maneuver. Some of them are pretty
bright fellows and make soma sharp
trades"

TALES OF ANIMALS.
An Intellectual Yankee Cat and an Astute
s Old Crow.

An Intellectual Yankee Cat and an Astute
Old Crow.
Several years ago, writes correspondent
OF the Lewiston (Me.I Journal, we had cat
we all thought greatdeal of, hut she was q
little more reserved in the bestowal Of her
affections. She seemed to care for no one
very much, except for my eldest daughter
ana myself, and il man or boy came into
the house she would leave Immediately.
The summer that speak of she had three
young kittens. When they were about two
weeks old was sitting in the cook-room one
day, when noticed the cat coming in, and
tnought something was the matter with
her, but did not get up to see. She went
and laid down under the stove, but was un-
easy, and kept moving and looking out to-
ward US. forgot to mention that one or
Two men were also in the house, but pref
" soon they went out. when she went di-
rectly to her kittens, took one and carried
1t to my daughter, who exclaimed:
what Is the matter with pussy7"
Before had time to look she had brought
another to me, and as she laid it down she
looked at me and, making q most pitiful
noise, stretched out and died, and we found
upon looking that she had been cut nearly
IN two. She had waited untllth men left
The room, as If she was afraid of them, and
then had looked out for the welfare Of her
offspring the best she knew how, by bring.
ing them to tn ,se she loved, and the look
on her face was as earnest an appeal as q
numan countenance could have expressed.
One OF the children had, year ago this
summer, a tame crow which showed a great
deal OF shrewdness, or sense, or reason,
whichever you choose to call it. They kept
nim out in the orchard near an old lounge
that was placed under the trees, and there
was just room enough for his little body to
get under 1t. When they first had him out
there the hens would get nearly all the
iooo, and he, being afraid Of them, would
mop on under the lounge and scold away Mt
tnem but fter day or two he would be.
gin just as soon as his food was brought to
him to carry it down under the lounge.
He would not stop to eat mouthfuI until
he had got 1t all well out Of reach. and then
when the hens came around he would sit
there and take amouthful and then chucklc
and chatter and seem to enjoy his meals all
the better because the hens had to stand
round and look at him, but couldn'tget any
oft.
