Of the destruction by fire of box Of richly printed
and illustrated bills and posters, done in fancy style

Richmond by Adams Co.'s Express, and instead

The Complimentary Concert.-Carusi's Saloon
LAST evening contained a respectable and fashion
able auditory, assembled in compliment to the ac-
cOmpIished Misses Collins. The concert gave gen
era satisfaction, many of the pieces being received
with deservsdly enthusiastic apPlaufe, and some
were encorcd and executed again, with in
creased qualification. Miss Emma sang better, il was
the opinion than before, and Miss Rosina's yo
lin appeared to possess the soul of music The s'gen-
teman amateur sang with good effect, especially
"Washington's Grave, which was warmly appro
bated The grand fantasia from Norma, by Prof. F.
Kley, who presided at the piano, was charmingIy
plaved We trust that the fair benefciaries find the
compliment substantial one, which must be the
case, Judging by the numbers present. They are
expected to appear in Alexandria next.
