4 Eine Entertainment.

The prettiest and most novel entertain
meut seen in the city was that at the Eng.
fish Lutheran Church last night, entitled
the DAIRY Maids Supper" The stage
was appropriately decorated TO represent a
dairy ward, having milk cans, crooks, pals,
&c. not forgetting the old well, while the
other part of the spacious and newly htted
M room was hung with tapestries, ribbons,
flowers and evergreens in the most tasty
style.
The entertainment opens with piano
duet. followed by Il banjo screnade Dy
Nessrs. Schraeder and Meyers, as the
Dairy Trio" after which Mr.. Dean, who
ably took the part of Farmer, calls in his
corps of pretty dairy lads and lassles, VINO
now appear in costume. singing the DAIRY
chorus-while the cow bells are heard IN
the distance. The dairy maids march
and stool drill by twenty-four
dairy maids under the manage
ment of Lieut.. Harry Boyd, were excep-
tionallv fine. The song of the Milk
Cans" rendered by Misses Nogel. Phil
lips and Serig, Messrs. Shot and Wilson,
with Pump by II. Boyd and Chalk by
Never. all dressed to represent their re
spectivc parts, is very amusing and de-
serves special mention.
Theperformance then closes by the en-
trance of the Farmers Wife, Miss Matte
Davis. who in her rich soprano voice an
nounces supper, the farmer blows the horn,
and the whole company of lads and lassies
Join in grand chorus inviting all to par
take of their dairy refreshments, consisting
of milk, cream, ice cream, spring water,
&c. The affair was grand success, and
will be repeated this evening.

what do you say of the rivived rumor
that the b. X O. are at the real bottom OF
your work.
Nothing, that we have not repeatedly
said The b. X o. have not one dollar in
vested in this Company. They are treating
us in a fair and busincSs-like way, and our
business relations with them are pleasant,
and this we intend in all reasonable ways
to encourage and deserve, and we think il
decidedly to our mutual interests TO each
treat the other fairly, and thus better serve
the public and deserve Its good will. Be
cause we are not quarreling with them,
some of our friends think we are all one,
but this is not so, and the suspicion, for
that is all there is of it, may be unfair 10
both of US. We feel that they will use our
tracks and property Just as much as their
interests may demand, and no more, and
this is true also of other roads, and any
other statement is innocent suspicion or 4
dishonest threat intended TO gull somebody.
At this periodical iuncture' we are AT
peace with all the world and the balance Of
mankind. and in entangling alliances with
