THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.
A Successful Entertainment for tho Benefit of the
Public Library.
Tho concert for the benefit of the public
library, given by Mine. Grant, the Philharmonic
Sricietyand others last, night, was one of the
musical gems of the season ami a success In each
and every particular. The library reception
room was filled almost to its capucity, and that
the critical audience enjoyed it very much in
ch ed was evinced by the enthusiastic applause.
The programme given in the Enquirer-Sun
y > erday morning was admirably carried out.
The exercises of tho evening opened with a
lovely piano duet, artistically rendered by Mrs.
W. B. Blade and Mrae. Grant, and this was fol
lowed by tho chorus “Como Gentle Spring,” by
the Philharmonics—a piece that was esteemed
among the best and most bc&utiful until they
sang Tanliauser’s chorus, “Hail, Bright Abode.”
This was indeed a gem.
Third on tho programme was the recitation of
“The Fate of Virginia,” by Miss Jodie Struppn.
We have seldom soon an audience more im
pressed, and she had captured them ere a stanza
had been recited. To say that it was excellent,
admirably rendered, is bnt faint praise.

constructed their houses and had seen them
engaged in wiping their beaks.

A Complimentnry Dance.
A hop was given at Villa R**ieh last night by
the Columbus Athletic club, complimentary to
Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Reich and Mr. Felix Bur
ras* who has just attained his majority. The at
tendance was quite larger and this entertain
ment, like all othem under tho auspices of this

one of the most enjoyable social events of the
season. Mr. and Mrs. Reich were especially the
©enter of attraction, and Mrs. Reich never ap
peared to greater advantage.

of Florence.
The groom is a prosperous young farmer, and
the bride is one of Stewart county’s most fasci
nating daughters.
To the Method InIs.
The pastors of the three Methodist churcheB
In Columbus will leave for conference on Tuesday
next. They have failed to see some few church
members and others who have subscribed to the
different conference collections. If those who
have subscribed will take the trouble to see the
pastors of their respective churches and hand in
their contributions before Tuesday next, they
will confer a lavor on the pastors, and save them
a considerable amount of time and trouble. In
morals a subscription is as binding as a promis-
ory note.
n- * ** t i a i « t , this city, his lucrative position gave“him Die
leresa Grant and Mr. .John Sclierf, was beautiful means for tHe exercise of that kindly chariiy in
indeed, and only excelled by Miss Gram’s solo, j which he delighted.
He was singularly free from sordid selfishness
and OBientatious display In the revival of
1858 he became deeply interested in the subject
of religion, n suiting in a bright and happy con
version. He joined the church (St. Luke Meth
odist) at once, und from that day forward re
ligion became the finest gun in his character and
the crowning glory of his life. He seemed to ap
preciate the gr< at truth that the right measure
of a life is by the good dispensed, ana in thought,
word and deed he sought to honor God and
bless his fellow man.
But he has pone from among us, and kis spirit
no doubt has joined the company of the blessed
in the paradise of the immortals: Let us emulate
his virtues and cherish his memory with tender-
est recollection. Let a copy of t-he foregoing bo
spread upon the minutes of the quarterly confer
ence, of wnich he has so long been a member,
and furnished also to his family with the as
surance of our sincere sympathy with them In
their bereavement, though doubtless “our loss is
his eternal gain.” Further, that the Enquirer-
Sun be requested to publish the same.

One of the most charming pieces of the eve
ning was tho vocal duet by Mrs. Blade and her
sister. Miss Laura Browno. The vocal quintette,
charmingly rendered by Mrs. Pease, Mrs. Slado,
Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Browne and Miss Grant, closed
tho first part of the programme. This, as well
as several other pieces, was heartily encored.
Part Bccond opened with a beautifu* piano trio
given by Mrs. Nellie Johnston, Mbs Teresa and
Mine. Grant. Nothing during the evening was
more enjoyable than the duet, “A Golden Day”
—voice and flute—executed by Miss Teresa Grant
and Mrs. Nellie Johnston, the latter playing the
flute.

consequently there is no immediate or remote
prospect of his leaving Columbus to teach else
where. Prof. Hough says his business school
bids fair to engage his attention and time for

it will undergo will be the addit'on of another this bird’s house sloped gently upwards from

Something About tho Sapsnckor.
Several ceuutrymen with one lawyer and our
jovial superior court clerk wore assembled yes
terday morning in a magistrates office. The oc
casion of the gathering was the trial of a posses
sory warrant case instituted by oue farmer
against another to recover possession of a certaiu
deed to a lot of land. The recorder of deeds had
been summoned as a witness in the case. While
awaiting the coming of the tardy lawyer, who
never wants but just five minutes in which to
turn the world inside out, conversation drifted
into the curious ways of sapsuckera. Mr. Pond
was the last one to give his experience with that
peculiar variety of the feathered tribo, and here
is the story he told :
He said the sapsucker was the first bird he
ever killed with a f un, and it happeued after this
manner: He had an old tiiut and steel siuglc-
barrclled shotgun and a supply of powder, but no
shot; so in the place of the lead ke poured in a
handful of shingle nails. The bird presented its
back square to him as it was climbing up the
trunk of a tree, and he took aim and blazed
away. The bird didn’t fall, but seemed rather
droepy, with wings and head hanging loose. lie
tried a few rocks, but the bird wouldn’t budge;
so he climbed the tree himself and found the
dead sucker nailed hard and fAst to the body of
the tree. All hands agreed that his experience iu
sapsucker hunting was rather marvelous.
The circumstance which gavs rise to the sap-
sucker conversation was the exhibition to the
company, by Judge Wooten, of a section from a
pine tree in which was the home of a sapsucker.
The bird had sounded around the tree by con
stant tapping with its bill until it found the spot
where the hard outside was thinnest between the
bark and the decayed heart, and there by an ex-
traordina y energy and constant hammering
with its sharp beak, had bored out a round open
ing two inches iu diameter. When the soft de
cayed heart was reached, a spacious dwelling
place was excavated. The door of
The Ke.stivo Quail.
Those who have enjoyed the sport of gunning
the timid quail this season report them as being
found in unusual large nnmbers, owing it is sup
posed to the operation of the game law now in
force in the country. We learn that large num
bers are also being caught by netting in some
sections. Mr. S. B. Bald win, of Talbot, is the
champion with the net in Talbot county, ho hav
ing netted near 100 iu the past week or two.
