We were pleased to note that revival of
interest m the Soaabic, was cri Je area by
more than usually Urge attendance on
Tuesday night last. Now is the time of
year of all others to enjoy this "salad for
the sodal," because at this season there is
no winter's frost to chill our mirth, nor
summer's heart to disturb the equanimity
of our tempers. Those who were present,
had the pleasure and those who were ab
sent, missed the pleasure of hearing the fol
lowing contributions :
A piano solo by Mrs. Fntchard; s lady
gifted withhe most exquisite touch as a
pianist. A reading of one of Thackeray's
inimitable productions, by Mr. Robert
Taner. Mr. and Miss Locket, sang one
of' Hums, Scotch ballads. These Scotch
ballads are easy to be sung, ull'c at
the same time, none are sweeter to be
heard. Mrs. B. H. Dissert, read a cry
choice selection, purporting to be a descrip
tion of an observatory. Did not find out
the authors name. The selection was espe
cially well adopted to the occasion, owing
to its discursive character, (reminding one
of De Quince)), for though the suggestive
heme, was an observatory, yet the writer
left its confined limits, and discoursed of
matters ranging from stars of the firt mag
nitude don n to mortals of low degree.
Prof. V. C Rote read a couple cf short
extracts it! the nature of fabks; from "Half
Hour:, of French Authors;" afier which
Mrs. Pressley concluded the evci.ing with
a song; ho has heard her sing need not
be told how w ell she sang: who has-iut,
must hear in order to ZjJsCXk. of the
effect.
The following are contributors for next
occasion.

A Live Fraud. On Thurs
day morning a strange man and
woman made their appearance
in town. The man carried an
empty coat, sleeve at his side
and proposed making a raise by
begging. He and the woman
were captured by the police; and
an examination revealed the.
fact that the beggar had two
flrst-class arms, one snugly
bandged to his side. They
were put in the bastile. After
the fleas had a good meal the
prisoners were released and
shown out of town.
An Axteleat Jfcsrx IVom&A.
Editors Bsoner:
In my perigrinations through this county
I find many strange and some remarkable
characters. But the most remarkable that
has to for come within my notice is an old'
negro woman named Rachel Brown, living
on the plantation of Mr. John M. Brown,
near Rock Island. She says "she is' one
hundred and twenty years old. I cannot
certify as to the correctness of her statement
as it goes some half century back of my
personal recollection, but I can say that
she shows every appearance of extreme old
age. The man with whom she lives and
who says he has supported and maintained
her ever sice freedom, is himself a grand
sire, and he states that this womin Rachel
Brown, though not his mother, raised him
and that he believes she is of the age she
claims to be. When I saw her she was
sitting in a bent and drawn up position, with
a well worn com-stai in her trembling
hand, to support her deenpit form.
Don't you think her an object well
worthy the chanty of this county? I ia.
