It is with pleasure we call the attention of our readers to the Fair and Concert •to be given on next Wednesday and Thursday evenings, at Concert Hell, for the benallt of the Ladies' Chariteble Association, connected with Plymouth Congregational Church. The concert, which will consist of vocal god in strumental selections, and in which thirty ladies and gentlemen wit take part, will be no dor the direction of Prof. Johnson, of Mas sachusett's, a most accomplished musician. The display of meal and instrumental arti cles, which will be for sale, will be unusually attractive. The great feature, however, of the Fair will be the "New England Kitchen,' which will occupy a part of the hall. Here the descendants of the Pilgrims, and all others so inclined, may regale themselves with deckers, doughnuts, molasses, pies, pickles, apple-sauce, perk and beans, and the like. If any man desires to know Jest how his grandmother appeared when oho made captive the youthfal heart of his respelled grandfather he will only have to look at the fair attendants In the "Kitchen," who will be arrayed In the garb of the lam century. It will be an odd sight, and will prove a great attraction. Bounty Meeting In Birmingham Coroner's Inquest. Hurrah for Lawrence County t M.
