one OF the largest and finest that has been wit

uOn that among other places of interest which the
Fanshs Engine Company paid visit, was the grave
Of Franklin, located in one of the public squares,
ever which MarsoIetti's band rlayed some funeral
dlrgsS. On their way TO the Baltimore depot the
Franklin company stopped at the engine house of the
Weecaco Engine Compsny of Philadelphia, where
ibtv partook Of refreshments, which had been pro-
vldrd Some idea may be formed Of the excitement
that their visit had occasOned in the Quaker City,
when we that there not less than IL 900
persons present at the depot to fremen off.
They arrived al Baltimore at three A. N, OH Sunday
morning, hut account Of the carly hour there
no public reception, beyond ringing of the engine
hsu>c bells ard the company came straight heme
by railroad as already mentioned The members Of
the Franklin Fire Company, each aud every one of |
them, highly delighted with their excursion, no
accident having occurred TO alloy the pleasure OF the
tip One little incident occnrred a New York, |
which we think it worth while TO mention, a, it |,
shows the Lind feeling displayed towards fellow
citizens by its inhabitants. During their soourn in |
that city, they visited the Broadway Theatre, the
invitation of the Manhattan Engine Company, and !
their entrance, received by the audience /
with three hearty cheers which were returned with /
night good will by the members Of our fire company.
Captain Mar.oeiiis brass band played several airs,
which were highly applauded BY those present. The
in fed he nf fhair
engine, both at New York and Philadelphia, and
Plc report speaks highly both Of the engine and of
those that manned it, Few engines in either of those
.ite~ is said, being able to throw so high stream
Of water from their suction. The Columbia Fire |
Company, of our city, intended to escort the mem
bers of the Franklin Company to their quarters and
proposed to have torchlisht procession on Saiur-
day night, when they were expected back, but on |
sccOun; Of their arrival, il did not take place.
SoHtos-lt is hardly necessary for Us TO call at
tentOn to the advertisement of Madame Henrietta |
sOntags concert, to take place at Risley's varcte,
IN this city, on Wednesday evening next. Wemay,
however, say that she has long been acknowledged
by the critics as one of the first, if not the very first
female vocalist of the age. While in certain perfec
tons Of her art she may not be Jenny Lind, in
others she certainly surpasses the former as TO
earn in her favor decidedly the weight of European
criticism. As artist, the world has known no
other vocalist who has so long ranked pre-emnent
IN her profession. IL we have lovers of fine music
among us who have not yet heard her, they will re-
e sincerely regret, loosin: this, perhaps their last
opportunity Of listening to the notes which have SO
enchanted the music loving world in both hemis-
Pheres.

ration, aud successful. we trust.
