The singing was ail good, and highly ap- preciated, bat that of Mr. Nuttall was especially worthy of mention. He has a tenor voice which is very pleasing to the ear, and the well modulated tones show careful caltivation. Some of these men formerly lived near Philips barg, and are well known to many of our readers. Clearfield Republican. Rice, Leg Broken. Harv.
