 ~opera house was we'll filled las5 eYlHing by an enthusiastic audience, tie occasion being the first of series bf concerts to be given by the Manzo- tGaHardo academy of music The pro- gramme did not commence until S:30, but it was carried out with a snap and (vigor. The harp solo by Miss Marie \Acosta, with guitar obligato by Pro- Fessor Manzo, the first number on the programme, was well rendered and heartily encored. An instrumental solo by Madame Felger was eXquisitely rendered. Madame Felger is an artist who tells a story in every piece Of music, and as a talented elocutionist would portray in words the deep feel ings of an ardent lover. Sonora Dona Ygnacio Gallardo is vocalist of rare accomplishments. Her marvellous range thrilled the audience. Her intona- tions are good and her lead as well as guttural tones are clear, penetrattng and expressive. Professor Manzo ren- dered a short selection on the violin with his back to the audience, his violin resting On the nape of his neck, with as much expression as if he had played in an ordinary manner He also showed that arms as well as fingers can be utilized Tn lingering the strings. A cello caprice by Professor Blondin, a thorough artist, completed the programme He was heartily encored and responded win choice selection, showing himself to be a veritable student.

Fire in fIartland.

a fire occurred in Harlaud village
Wednesday night the ath instant which
was on Thursday moning reported much
more extensive than the facts warrant
ed.
The fire started in the stable connect
ed with the residence Of Lyman Cook GA
81. Adams street 1t was well under
way when discovered and quickly spread
to the ell and main house in spite Of tie
efforts Of the neighbors who had res.
ponded to the alarm. When it vas
seen that the fire would extend to the
Town hall and possibly beyond word
was telegraphed To Pittsheld for
help. When the Pittstield fremen ar
rived on the scene the Town hall vas
enyeloped in flame and there was no
hope Of saving il.
In this building were located the halls
If the odd Fellows aul Masonic orders.
and they lost their furniture and para
phenalia. The cost Of the building
was 5000 and an insurance Of $500 vas
carried on it. The han building .
gether with the Cook residence and the
upper part Of Pratt'e crockery and small
ware store were the only buildings
touched. The Cook house and the hall
buildings were destroyed. Cooks loss.
$1,000 and Pratt loss 500.
The Odd Fellows had $500 insurance
on their paraphenalia and Mr.. Cook had
but a small insurance. The Pittsheld
tiremen rendered great service. To
their efforts is largely due the saving of
several other buildings in the vicinity Of
the ones burned.

The Biddeford Journal says: The
afternoon hop had just baited the
dancers for another and what with the
presence of Chandler's musicians and
the large hall and crowd it was quite the

havoc should wind up with farewell
dance and thus atone for hard luck. Il
was not astonishing by any means either
that this move was originated by the
boys from this city and was sanctioned
and furthered by the home management.
