and select audience. Prof Brown, the
elo,utionist, made a favorable impress
sion. and his selections, which were varied
i'll their character, pathetic, dramatic
and humorous, were rendered admirably,
and we hope he may come again at no
distant date. He was assisted bv Prof.
Porter II. Dale in one selection, the Tent
Scene" from Julius Caesar, i'll which Mr..
Dale exhibited no small degree OF talent
and cultivation. Miss Maude oantorth,
the pleasing young violinist, captivated
the audience by her playing. The flute
solos bv Mr.. George H. Wilder were ex-
tremelv fine, and he will be regarded by
Island Pond people as fully capable OF
entertaining an audience. His playing
was mastery in fact he can't be beat,
and he was received with every mark OF
enthusiasm. Mrs w. b. Causebrook ac-

At last we have an explanation OF the
appearance OF rats in Island Pond, some
thing almost unknown till within the
past few months. Charlie Tracy says
it is the tariff; that we are soon going to
have free trade. and the foreign rats are
the first to take advantage Of this new
condition OF things. Let the cause be
what it may, rats are increasin. here at
a rapid rate nowadays, and large num-
bers have been killed during thcpast week.
Some house owners have captured as
many as twenty rats on their premises.

DROVE THROUGH THE BAND.
An Amusing Incident That Occurred on
Main street.

n
Main Street.
An amusing incident happened on Main
street between Eleventh and Twelfth
Yesterday morning.
A coIored band and quite company oil
followers were marching leisurely down
the street when a big, sun-burned. brawny
filler OF the soil from Henrico, driving
a spirited pair of bays to large TWO
horse wagon. came rafting down Rich
mond's principal thoroughfare. Inc col
ored musicians were spread out In order
to make big show, but they failed to
leave any impression on the agriculturist,
who allowed his team to go right In the
midst Of the darkies.
The colored individuals did not think
this kind OF treatment was respectful to
their costumes and horns, and they forth
with proceeded to lay hold Of the horses.
The rural traveller was not accustomed
TO other folk handling his animals. and,
rising I'D In his wagon. he used his big
whip right and left on the darky as
saulters of his roadsters. At the same
time he touched up the pair Of bays,
and away he went through the maddened
crowd, which scampered in every direc-
ton.
The negroes called upon an officer to
arrest the countryman. and the country
man asked another blue-coat TO arrest
the man who cast a stone at him, but no
arrests were made.
