Don't fail to neal the famous Fisk
Jubilee Singers, in the Opera House on
Wednesday, Oct. 22d. A contemporary
thus speaks of them: "The sweet voices
of the Jubilee Singers, from Fisk Univer-
sity, Nashville, Tenn, entertained a large
audience in Odd Fellows Hall last night.
The programme was composed chiefly of tic
songs sung by the slaves in the South
before the war, and was a novelty in con-
cert entertainments. All the voices are
fresh and strong, and in the medleys and
choruses they chime together with sweet
ness truly remarkable"

stone be placed on her grave. And furth-
er, GAS it is a long distance for my friends
to accompany the body, | suggest and
advise that ii be taken down Dy the under
dertaker, and that the clergyman and sexton
at Swedesboro attend to the interment,
and for his services | desire my executors
to pay said clergy $50"
