We think the police ought to be instructed on the

they may find playing with tin pans, conch-shells
md coWbells; yet we have heard ten times sweeter
from those prosecuted instruments, in
III ordinary 1shiveree,n than from the intensest
enors Of some fashionable young men we have heard
III Il sentimental serenade. We think, as the peace
and quiet of the city are under the particular charge
of the police 1t night,s few special policemen, of
musical ear should be appointed as inspectors Of
serenades with full power to let ashvereen go on
the music be tolerable, and to caaboose all those
wouldbe polite serenading parties who insist upon
horTifying whole neighborhoods Of innocent and un-
oHending people, just because they insanely fancy
they can twank q guitar and sing, and because they
wish toshow their devotion to some snoring young
lady, whom one of the party, perhaps, fancies is
ths sweetest angel ID existence" Wewould like to
see the police matter in hand and the inspec-
torsp Of sersnades conferred upon Sergeant Dryden.
What say you, Col, Forno2
When the serenading is undertaken by real musi-
ciana however, as IL happens at times it is delight
to be aroused from alumber by their strains. good
serenade is a treat that every human being with 2
soul for music must appreciate.
ss We wish to speak particularly Of musical treat
We enjoyed the other night. gentleman in a neigh
boring honae was entertaining the family and some
visitors with display of his musical abilities, which
were Yeryfine indeed. His talent as singer, how
ever seemed to be perfectly ecipsed BY his talent at
lnimicry. He sang Don't be angry, mother,n in
imitation of oung Adams, OF Matt Peels Mnstrels,
30 perfectly that at the moment we fancied it was
Adams himself. He initiated several other popular
singers equally well and, by way Of variety gave
recitation ID imitation Of Edwin Booth as Lear which
was capital. Il
e We begant to wonder to oarself how gentleman of
such nnusual talent could manage to remain in pri-
vate life, and display his accomplishments only in
the circle Of bis private acquaintance; and whilst we
were wondering, he began an imitation which nearly
annihilated our previous pleasure, and set us com
pietely against him. He undertook to initiate our
joval friend Billy Qnirk Of the constabuary and he
failed most signaly. He tried to initiate Quirk's
'ss Molly Bawn,n Virginia Rose Bnd,' and the
Dutch Organ Girls Song Y and his failure was
altogether - horrible that being friendly to Quirk
We hal half notion to call the police and have him
muzzed. altogether however, we esteemed it treat
listen to 80 versatile gentleman and should this
meet bis eye for he is q perfect stranger to uswe
would advise him hereafter, in entertaining his friends
TO initiate everybody anybody, but Quirk for Qnirk
cannot DO owl. .quirked. II IN
