Rsorqanization Of Total Abstinence Armv.
We are pleased to learn that the Northern
Liberties Division, S. Of T., have organized
for the spring campaign, by choosing the
allowing officers for the Total Abstinence
Society belonging to that Division: Aza.
Gadnan, president; Joseph Lyon. vice
president; and Henry A. HOPPER, secre-
tary. who are e1 o6fcio, the Executive Com
nittee For the two last years this society
have done good service in the cause, and the
oaicers chosen give earnest that the work
the coming season, is to be prosecuted with
yigOr.
The Syermark Concert.-The Concert last
night at Carusi's Saloon was not so well at
tended as the novelty of the performances
would have led one to expect. 1t is most
probable that sufficient notice of the con-
ing of the band was not given. The per-
frmanees gave satisfaction to the audience.
They give another concert this evening.
Prof Anderson-The s'Wizard'' is still
giving exhibitions at the National Theatre.
and his income from them we have no doubt
greatly exceeds all the expense. We would
suggest that if the Professor in his expla-
nation about the Spirit Rappers would be a
little briefer, it would be agreeable to the
audience, and a relief to the talented lectu-
rer.
Breaking Trees.-The trees and shrubbery
IN the garden of the Smith sonian Institution
have been disfgured by gang of little
boys, who make a practice Of breaking
tlem. One of them was caught yesterday
with bunch of flowers in his hand. If he
had received a good thrashing it would have
prevented further attempts on his part; as
it's, the men employed by the Institution
will have to take the scamps in band, and
give them what they deserve.
EsST A supper was served up at Fen
Wicks, on the evening of the 25th inst, to
which John Rodgers, the machinist, and
builder of the Columbia suction, the mem
bers Of the Columbia Fire Company, and
others, were invited. Speeches, songs, wit,
vine, and all the ''fxins" appertaining to a
happy time on hand
fTes.-In the last three days, there have
been three fires, two by accident, and one
no doubt the work of an incendiary. 1t is
ucky that all were discovered in time to pre-
vent great damage. The alarm this morn
ing was caused by the discovery of fire
IN the painting establishment on II between
seventh and Eight streets. Loss small.
~ The Criminal Court has adjourned
over till Monday, one of the jury being sick.
