Other objects that require equally as much genius have been the result of his dexterity and skill, Tho little en gine-'he produced secured for him a position with the Baldwin Locomo 1 i a .... live works, vy strict attention to duty he won the respoct aud esteem of tho officials And in 11 short time he was sent long distances to deliver engines aud at the time of his death was one 01 tne leading persons about this world-famed factory.

This old saying was very sub stantially proven by the large and appreciative audience, who attonded tho Concert given by tho Middle burgh Orchestra in the parlor of Hotel Central last Monday evening. The programme, a variod one, con sisting of the very best selections, overtures etc., was carefully com pilod.every number of it proving to be a hit. While tho musicians wero anxious to have it bo known, that this "Evening out" was to bo more- ly a rohoarsal, tho listeners wero on ly too willing to accopt it as a fine Concort and enjoyod it us such. The different members of tho Orchestra must be complimented upon their lino playing. Wo wero glad to notice that our genial host, Mr. W. H. Smith, was not charmed to suoh an extent as to forget tho inner man, and loud uro tho praises of those who partook of tho bounti ful luncheon prepared by Mrs. Smith in her customary, tasty and liberal way. A rival orchestra consisting of Culathumpiuns did not fare us well. They hunted au audience, but wero not successful in their search, their lunch consisted of a pail of water applied to the outer man. The joke, however, was not on them alone, but a large share of it borne by a sparking couple of pedagogues, who must have felt very uncomfortable under the ciroumstances. Saturday's Prima nes.
