Queen Esther.

The most charming entertainment that
has taken place in this town for long
time was the Oratorio of Esther the Beau
tiful Queen, given in Irwin's Hall on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, BY tho
leading male and female talent of the
place. for the benefit OF Prof. Chas. w.
Clarv, the we'll known blind musician,
who acted as musical director. Mrs.
GerI. JAS Williams was stage directress,
and It was to her talent and untiring
efforts that much of the success of the
Oratorio was due. Where all did so well
we feel delicacy in speaking OF any
particular performer. but We cannot re-
fra,n from mentioning the splendid man.
ner In which Mrs. l.. y. Walker. filled the
part of Esther, the Beautiful Queen. with
her magnificent and highly cultivated
voice and elegant costumes, Prof Ohss'
Funkhouser Is King Abasuerus. Capt. j.
C. Baker as the naughty Hsmsn, and c. j.
Van Pelt, as Mordecai. the Jew, could not
have been better, while Miss Maud Snapp
as the Prophecies, Miss Mary Supinger. az
Mordecia's sister, and Mics Leila Riddle
berger, as the proud Zeresh. with their
sweet voices and faultless acting gave the
greatest pleasure. In fact every member
of the large company embracing forty OF
fifty persons, number being quite youni
boys and girls, filed their parts Uos'
satisfactorily. The costumes were elegant
and appropriate, and every detail was
carefully carried out. A large audience
was present each nighv and the proceeds
amounted to nearly hundred dollars.

Death of Miss Maggie Bowman.

For many weeks past the family OF
Cant. Samuel II. Bowman, prominent
merchant of this place, and one OF the
best known citizens of The county, has
been severely afflicted with typhoid fever.
One member after another was taken down
until not one of his children, consisting OF
two daughters, and three sons, all grown
or nearly so, excepting Arthur the young
est, a youth of ten or twelve years, had
the disease in a severe form. So far Mr..
and Mrs. Bowman have escaped the
contagion, and Miss Birdie, the first to be
taken. has recovered. The Others were
growing better and were thought to have
almoAt reached the point of safety, and
the heavy load of anxiety that had so long
oppressed the hearts of parents and friends
was in great measure lifted as hope
seemed brightly smiling through the rltts
in the clouds. 1t was at this moment
that the summon came. Or Tuesday
evening Miss Maggie grew suddenly worse
and almost without waning, before the
griefstricken hearts around her could
realize the danger, the pure soul OF the
young maiden had taken its heayenward
flight and was safe forever with the God
who gave it. With crushing suddennes'
the blow fell, and this sorely afflicted
family have the fearful sympathy of every
heart as their friends draw closer around
them in their sorrow. The funeral ser
vices, conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bushong Of
the Lutheran church, of which the deceas
ed was a member. took place on Thurs
day afternoon, at 2 o'clock. and the re-
