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. The song “Awake”—cello obligato—by Miss cause of the oblique and Irregular scratches on either side of the hole by saying that it was made by the beak of the bird as it wiped the fresh oozing turpentine from its beak. The judge, who has been something of a woodsman in his time, said he had watched the birds as they constructed their houses and had seen them engaged in wiping their beaks. RIVER NEWH.

At the residence of the bride’s fat her, Mr. Ed Harris, near Summer Hill, Htewart county, at 3 p. m. yesterday, Mr. M. C. Williford, of Florence, and Miss Fannie Harris, were united in mar riage.

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. W. M. Hayes, W. R. Bhuell, Presiding Elder. Aoting See ret ary. (Juck oo, 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. The vocal quartette, given by special request, of “Greeting to Bpring,” as sung by Misses Annie Hinde, Hattie Turner, Teresa Grant and Not Prof. Hough. Prof. A. 8. Hough’s many friends who were alarmed at an advertisement for a school signed *‘A. 8.

Prof. Hough says his business school bids fair to engage his attention and time for severel years to come, and that the only change it will undergo will be the addit'on of another this bird’s house sloped gently upwards from professor iu a few weeks.

The Misses Kiddoo are favorites in Columbus so ciety, and many hearts besides those of their relatives will be made glad by their coming. They will remain only a few days. 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. HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSE. E.
