and oratorios from the great German
composers will be rendered in a truly
artistic manner. The admission has
been placed at 35 cents for reserved
seats and 25 cents for general admis

The citizens of Cumberland have
become somewhat stirred up recently
over the fact that Mr. Thomas H.
Paul, of this place, had abcut deter
mined to take his foundry away to
some other town unless he could get
a good site gratis to build a larger one
on. His business has increased to
such an extent that this movement on
his part was made compulsory owing
to the limited space in his present
buildings. He has been offered suffi
cient room in other (owns free if he
will go and locate therein, but if the
Cumberland people will hold out any
inducements whatever that will be
sat.sfactoiy he will remain there. In
the meantime, however, a movement
;s on loot to purchase a lot lor him
spacious enough for all purposes.
