The Raymond family, lately from Europe, are soon to sing in our city. The family is comprised of Mr. Raymond, his wife, and three daughters, and bears most complimentary notices from the English press combined with most all of the eastern papers of our country. With such testimonials they must certainly be in the highest class of singers, and we have no doubt large audiences will greet their arrival with pleasure.

573 - DTD Aug. 17:3/1 For fun and pleasure, we have had no family to excel the Raymonds. The ladies play beautifully on the piano, and the father is full of humor and wit. He is all Irish, genial and generous, full of inimitable jokes, and very creative of laughter. Go and enjoy the music, and then shake your sides over Raymond. They perform at the Melodeon tomorrow night.

574 DTD Aug. 19:2/4 The Misses Raymond will give a donation concert tomorrow at the Melodeon and will give away 40 beautiful presents, consisting of gold watches, bracelets, rings, etc. Malone Raymond will deliver another of his humorous lectures.

English newspapers are alarmed. They fear these events threaten England, and that it will be hard to grapple with the despots if they cannot be assailed at home.

Soon the issue will be made by the French people, and if the czar interferes, as he will, then the issue between despotism and freedom will be made.

"And can the United States be neutral? Will our people and government in such a conflict refuse to aid freedom? These are questions which we must, and which we ought to, examine wisely and well for the conflict is not far off."
