Miss Baker played the violin | in an admirable manner, and her rem dition of a long piece by Mozart was much enjoyed. She received several encores. Miss Nettleton, who is stat

 clear contralto voice, and sings with refined expression. She consented to l appear several times in answer to re- calls. MT.

 There is talk about town that cer- tain of the Old Guard propose to read several Young Republicans out of the party. This is a game which works both ways. In a free country man may vote at the polls as he desires, even if he did attend Republican caucus and get bowled over.
