Concerning the 1.-Two Johns" com
pany, which will show at the opera
house this evening, the Buffalo En-.
art and Phillips, made fun for every
body at the Lyceum last night, and
their mishaps through their reSem-
blance to each other were enough to
make anybody laugh. They look so
much alike that it would be difficult for
the uninitlated to tell them apart. As
Philip Johns and Peter Johns the two
men make great hit and introduce a
good many new jokes and situations
which are striking The support by
the remainder of the company is good
and some musical numbers are intro
duced which give variety to the pro-
gram. The instrumental music is par
ticularly good"

window of the NORTHERNER office dur
ing the past few days some stalks of
grain sent to Mr. f. f. Parks by Col

The wet season is evidently doing q eat
things for the west. A day or two after
the above grain appeared in the win.
dow, we received single stool of oats
from Mr.. f. A. Buttertield's Waverly
farm, which contains SO stalks and %
heads. Next Mr.. G.. Engle came in
with couple of branches from his
plum trees, on which the plums are
growing, rich and juicy just as closely
together aS grapes in bunch. One
branch is of the japanese Abundance"
variety, the other Green Cages. The
NoRTHERNER's agricultural and horti-
cultural exhibit is worth your inSpec-
ton rs you pass by.

Fete," at the opera house on Friday

The plot of the piece is the selection of
national emblem by Columbia. Seven
applicants for her favor appear, repre-
scented by fourteen girls, each pair pre-
senting the claims of an emblem as
follows: The red rose. the orange
golden rod, the yellow huttercup, the
green pine and corn, the blue forget
me-nOtS the indigo blue bells, the violet
violetS-the seven colOrs of the rain
bow. The young ladies will be dressed
in colors to match their emblems and
will hear wreaths of the flowers The
entertainment promises to be an enjoy
able one, and it will doubtless settle
completely all the talk about our ma
tional flower
