REMEMBER THE POoR.-Need we remind our
readers again, that at the present season, when
all outdoor work is suspended, and the wea-
Their is bitter cold, there must of necessity be
much destitution and distress? The question
therefore may now be asked, with peculiar
force at this time, what are we doing for the
deserving poor? We cannot recall period
when there was q greater necessity for prompt
measure for the relief Of the necessitous, and
but little appears to be doing. Let all bear
this in mind, and lose no time in giving some
hiHg-mOney, food, clothing, no matter what,
but give something.
The ELEGANT Rooms of our enterprsing
friend Hilbus, are the resort of musical profess
SIGNALS, amateurs, and musical celebrities,
generally, and the denizens of the Star Build
ings are often afforded a gratuitOus musical
treat which, from its Of-hand style, is often
moro spirited, and better worth listening to,
than the most elaborate concert performance.
OF this class is a violin and piano-fOrte per-
Torrance going on as we write this and which
is sustained by Esputa and a musical new
conner amongst us by the name of Withers.
