A GRAND REC1TAL.-0n Friday of last week, our village was favored with one of those recitals which seldom take place in a small village. Miss Lila Cole, of the ieetroit School of Elocution, being home for her Christmas holidays, took the oppor- tunity to give recitals at Farquhar and Staffs.. The recital was given in Scotch dialect and was an entire suocess. Miss Cole was ably assisted by kiss Philippa Innes, from Mitchell, who sang some Sootch songs. The recitations were well rendered as also were the songs, and never did they fail to bring forth the wildest ap- plause. The more comic recitations, such as "She liked him rale weel,” " Pleasures of Marketing," etc., fairly brought down the house, but never was more drama displayed than in "The Death Bridge of the Tay." The entertainment was certainly all that was expected and more, and should Mies Cole at any time give another recital here, we are sure the hall would not be large enough to accommo- date the crowd. • Varna.
