fFBOJI OUR OWN COBBESPONDENT,]
The promoters of the Christy Muistrel concert on Wednesday night were hnano«i%r wise in their generation when they caused the tickets for their entertainment to be sold beforehand., for the weather on Wednesday prevented the large attendance th^rQ would doiibtjless have been, In spite ot the" rain, however, a. fair- audience gathered, aii'^those W&Q went w§ire V§piii& fo.£ tJ£ e i* from start to nnish. '!Xj" was sf host m himself and evidently had been at the game before. The others wer» new hands gnd acquitted themselves very creditably. The second part of the concert consisted of songs, character sketches, and a farce, all of which were favorably received. At the request of the Hall Committee, a very hearty vote of thanks was accdrded by acclamation to the performers and promoters of the entertainment. After the concert a short dance was held. The many friends in this district of Mr Swadling were greatly shocked at the news of his sudden death. Those who knew him best liked him best, and that, it seems to me, is one of th» highest tributes that can be paid to » man's character.
