| The entertainment given July 9th ol
the park of "Dr.n Terry under the man
agement OF John L. Hutchinsoniand Mis-
Anna Farnsworth, was a complete sue
cess, considering that it had rained nearly
all the afternoon, leaving the ground sc
damp that it kept many from coming
who had intended to be present. Mr.
Hutchinson showed that he was compe-
tent to Till the position which he occu-
pied. The Rotations given by Miss Ell
sic Powers were highly spoken of, as they
deserved to be, and they showed that she
had not mistaken her calling. Miss
| Styles captivated the audience by her
singing. She has voice which, il prop
erly trained, would make her a fortune.
Miss Farnsworth presided OF the organ in
| a pleasing manner. Several pieces were
sung by singers who were present. Every
thing went off tremendously and every
| one present went home more than salts :
| fed. There were about one hundred
! present and collection, amounting to
nearly eleven dollars, was taken up. The
proceeds will go towards paying for an
organ to be used in the Peth sebolhouse
by the Sunday school and during other
services.
