Now us the shades of night begin
to fall early, what an improvement to
our village would be street lights.
People at least would not be so liable
to be Knocked down and robbed on
our puhic streets if there was an
occasional street lamp. We hope the
common council will take hold of the
question and may Yale soon have her
lamps trimmed and burning"
Michnels harvest ball last Friday
evening was grand success both
financially and socially. There were 130
numbers sold, and under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Michaels everything
passed Off pleasantly. All who were
present say that they haven't enjoyed
themselves so well in Il long time. No
one denies that Charley has the finest
and best conducted bali room in these
parts
The concert given at Central hall last
Friday evening for the benefit of the
NJ. L. church was decided success in
every particular At the extremely
small fee of ten and fifteen cents adj
mission over $50 was realized. All
connected with the entertainment took
their parts nicely, showing lot a little
talent. Following is brief synopsis
of the concert: The male guartette
work of Messrs. n ortOn, Drake, Towns
end and Ferguson was good and kind
Of music not very familiar in TINS place
We hope these gentlemen will continue
practice and perpetuate good male
quartette in this village. The recita-
tions 10y Miss Patton of Almout were
excellent, particularly The Martyred
Mother" which moved many of the
audience to tears. This lady is indeed
fine elocutionist. The pathetic duet,
poor Little Johnnie" was rendered
with good effect by Misses Mable Moore
and Mary Grinnell. Miss Rada Rap
leys "The Cows are in the Clover" was
so emphatically encored that she was
obliged TO respond, which she did by
singing "Little Fishermaiden.' This
she also rendered with her usual good
taste. The solo Far Away" 10y Mrs.
G.. +. Patterson, the duet "The Old Man
Dreams by Mr.. and Mrs. Norton" and
"The Trundle Bed" by Mr.. Norton were
all nicely rendered and well received.
The guitar quartette by Messrs.
Maloney, Brooks. Palmer and Nigge-
man was one of the most pleasing
features of the evening, which with
the violin solo by Miss Minnie Welch
was warmly applauded, showing them
to be well appreciated. Last but not
least by any means comes the lone
Lung" club, composed of Messrs. j. and
G.. Allen, Foster, Niggeman, Palmer,
Newell, Mcdonald and Jardine. in their
comic songs after the fashion of col
ored minstrelsy. The fact that they
were obliged to respond twice to ap-
plause that threatened to bring the
house down, is sufficient to convey an
idea of their success. All through the
exercises at appropriate intervals the
band furnished some choice selections,
adding not little to the pleasure
of the evening Taken altogether
we consider the entertainment one of
the best we have enjoyed for some
time, and would strongly recommend
another of the same nature in the near
future. 1t is not only a very satisfac-
tory way of raising money for religious
