The lair?, audience present—the Hall war more than fall—was a tilting tribute to the Association and to the Fire Company; and of this large audience there was not one, we sentare to say, di appointed other wise tired favorably'. This'exhibition has vindicated the truth that here among oar own people we have inimical ability, which, being brourht together, can give us entertainments second to none in the coun try: The old saying that "A bird thatcartsittg and won't sing, should be made to silig,"onght to bo , put in force here. The public desire of this good . thing. Music ennobles, ts and emtivater' every people. We need more of its culture here. The success of this Choral Association iu their first effort should leatlthern to further efforts. Every one with good voice, taking part in en tertainments., of this nature, is a missionary whose mission is, to: reep the world from the dangerous tu spoken of by Snarsezanz "The ma io as no music hildruself.

All persons may not become good singers or turtisicians,.but every person can be educated in a greater or less degree to the appriciation and enjoyment of music. This piano was presided uvrr with) character istic ability by Miss Mown. • ' The choruses were a success in every respect. The costumes, most of which—except for ; lead ing parts—were made by the ladies themselves, evinced the fact that singing was not the only talent they possessed, as they were gotten up in most excellent *taste.' The Jusa.ciation consists of about 5J mem:, hers. The able leadership of the conductor,G. T. Coils, was proven by its success. Mr. Coxt presented the character of Haman most effec tively. • • • Ladies and gentlemen of the Towanda Choral Association, we ask in behalf of the public, that we may have the pleasure of again listening to the-Cantata of Esther, and that this organiza tion so happily b4guli tiny be continuedto us— fur of no institution in our midst will we be inure pivud than of-your Association. , THE LIIMAIIT OF POLTIIT ANL 80::H. —This is a new book, which has been prepared with the aim of gathering intoa single yolanto tlargest practicable compilation of the best posins of the : English language, making it as nearly as possible the - choicest and most com plete geSeral;collection of postriyct published.

About 4 o'clock on Sunday morning the building oeenpiLd by licicur Frest was ilc•stroyed.

The alarm spreading, neighbors gathered hastily .with backets,"&c., but the building was • too far gone to be saved. L I. 3loody's resi dence, next - door, was saved with, great diffi culty.
