The Opera House was crowded Tuesday
night on the occasion Of the Franklin and
Marshall Giee Clubs first appearance in
Somerset. and the enthusiasm created by ths
boys-who, by the way, only claim to b.
amateurs-has never been eQuaied by a
tive. Every number on the long program
was well received, and was greeted with
hearty and generous applause The per
formers cheerfnlly responded to nearly eve
" encore, and, although bassO Keller, whose
humorous solo, Accents" received the
plandits of the entire assemblage, looked
lust a trifie displeased, he finally consented
to render e Drinking Song that proved
the climax Of the entertainment Mr. kel
Ter possesses a voice of wonderful compass,
iexibility and sweetness. and if be had
only condescended TO smile on the audience
he had thrown into an ecstacy Of delight
he would doubtless have been greeted with
exclamations OF bravop as well as the
tumultuous elapping of hands Three other
features Of the entertainment deserving spe
cial mention were Mr. Irvine's inimitablr
bug song; Mr. -Kirshners tenor solo, I'm
age Of the Rose, and Mr.. Reeds violin solo
The choruses, medleys and glees were al
well rendered The voices Of the young
gentlemen harmonized beautifully. Like
Mr. Keller the HERALD will refrain from
putting any accent on the performance OF
the Mandolin Club. However, the Frank
lin and Marshall boys will be welcomed by
our people at all times.

Guarding the Jail.
FEAR OF NIGHT RAID CAUSES THE sHERIFF
TO Guard THE PRISON.

From the Herald Extra April .
Last night Sheriff Good, placed strong
guard, both inside and outside of the Jail
IN anticipation of any disturbance or at
tempt at rescue. Winchesters and double
barreled shot guns loaded with buck
shot were placed in the hands Of the
guards, who were also furnished with s
complete system Of pass words and signals
for their own use and those Of the jail
officials and guards that might be called
upon to pass from one section Of the jsil
70 the other or withil the court yard
These guards were very vigilsnt, as one
or two who strolled into the ysri dis
covered, who gazed into the muzzle Of
the Winchesters and could hardly regain
their breath in time to answer the ehal-
Ienge Of the guards.
Sheriff Good was on the alert for any
description Of danger last night, as a re-
suit of : telegram from Ligonier notify
ing him to be on the lookout for rescu-
ing party that had started from that
neighborhood early in the afternoon.
This telegram was in harmony with in
formation that the Sheriff had received
earlier in the day to the same effect
that company of y or Is persons,
mounted and armed, had been seen
crossing the mountain from the direction
Of Ligonier toward Somerset. This last
piece Of information was given 10 the
Sheriff by a gentleman in whom he had
the most implicit confidence, and more
upon his representation than upon other
rumors he had heard, he began to take
defensive measures. At midnight none
but citizens or belated travellers we're on
the street, and at that hour little fear Of
a midnight raid on the county bastile
was felt.
