To BE REFIrTED.-In compliance
wthe earnest request of the musical and
other societie. Of this city, Mr.. LIE Claire has
consented to entirely refit and refurnish lie
Claire Hall in the best possible style. The
work has been decided upon, and the me
chanics are to commence the work in a few
days. This hall needs thorough renova-
tion, and when that is accomplished We doubt
not it will meet with its usual extensive
patronage. The high price at whichthe use
of the Metropolitan Hall is held, is said to
be the principal cause of importuning MIR.
LIE Claire to take these steps.
