PHILHARMONIC SocIErY.-Ws have bean in
formed that the Philharmonic Society will
repeat their concert on Tuesday evening, the
Oh OF March The great desire on the par
OF cur citizens that this concert should be re.
poated, and the many urgent solicitations
which have been presented to them, have in.
duced the Board OF Managers to take this step,
on which occasion they will present some Of
7 the choicest gems OF music from the old mas.
tiers that have ever been perfoi med in Wash

tiful cantata by Romberg entitled the Power
Of Song" and the equally fine composition Of

effect. The favorite singer of Washington

senting altogether one Of the most attractive
entertainments that has fallen to cur Let to

No ELEcrIoS.-We take the following from
the second section of the Constitution of the
"The officers of the society shall be presi-
dent three vice presidents, q treasurer and
secretary, with thirteen members to be chosen
as hereinafter stated, who shall constitute q
board of managers, all of whom shall be resi-
dents Of the District of Columbia, and who
, sha all be triannually elected by ballot by the
members OF the society present at its anniver-
sary meeting on the ed of February, 1885,
snd on the same day in every third year here.
after"
Consequently, the election which came of
yesterday is null and void as the regular 10
gal election does not take place until the 22i
Of February, 1856. One good was accomp

siderable addition to the funds Of the asSocia-

There will be several disappointments, as
We learn that there are already persons getting
up petitions as applicants for the offices in the

We are informed that the clerk had no au.
thOrity to publish the advertisement ordering
the election.

Poetry BY RoBERTscs.-POesy thus gushes
from the soul Of Robertson, editor Of the
Truth:
"Tru'h Crushed TO earth will rise again,
- u will be with RObersOn's TRUTH
He who has passed through so much pain,
SINCE he was poor and humble youth
- Cod has been his only friend and guide
And has Shielded him, by day and night
His Angelo IS always at his Side
Theaching him IN al,hings what is right
And When e'er from The Truth he world stray
lie Checks him by h:S spirit and word
And leads him from evil 10 the way
That escapes his Just and Vebceful sword
Such Is the ChaI acier of the man
That God has raised up TO do much good.
By Seeking out a wise and true plan
Which By Gods poor, will be Understood
That -, 10 proclaim The Truth to all
And Say Thus Saith The Lord God 10 man.
In Jesus you Saved inm the fall
And that Il Gods Just and only plan.
