The lovers of ancient church music, Of that
which the forefathers and foremothers Of this
Commonwealth of ours SO much delighted in, will
have an opportunity to hear it in its glory, next
Friday evening, at Mechanics Hall. The Chel-
sea Continentals have had long practice; they
are some eighty strong, and we hear the hearth.
est satisfaction expressed by those who have
heard them elsewhere. There are large num-
bers who speak contemporary of this style of
music, who never heard it sung. 1t can only be
produced by those who find in it an answer to
their aspirations; and only well done by such a
choir in point of numbers as this of the Contnen.
tals Don't PREJUDICE. But that vast multitude
who have found in it fit music for the immortals,
who never have and never will be moved by
cred song as they have been by this, mast be
largely represented on this occasion.
Be the differences, however, what they may be-
tween the ancient ind the modern, let them be
lost sight of in view of the charitable object for
which its receipts are to be given. Orphans are
to be its benefciaries. Orphans who have been
lovingly cared for by noble Worcester women

pied in finding means of supporting the Home,

The SUGAR BEET,---Dr. Leonard Wray Of
England recently addressed the Legislative
Agricultural Society at the State House, up
on the culture Of the sugar beet, presenting
great amount of interesting statistics. The
beet contains about sixteen per cent. Of sac 1.
charine matter, and the pulp is an excellent
fodder for cattle. The most profitable mode
of disposing of the beet crop had proved to
be the manufacture of alcohol direct from the
expressed juice. A French cultiyator grew
8 1869 tons of beets on four hundred and
twenty acres, valued at So per ton. Distila.
ton at an expense of 100000, produced
l66, 97S gallons of proof spirits, which sold
for $l25 ,230, leaving clear profit of $73,-
Cos. The attempts TO produce sugar from the
beet in this country have not succeeded, the
sugar costiog too much to make its produce
ton an object, but it is quite possible thnt
for the production Of alcohol the beet crop
would DO reInuneiative.

THE ANTl.LECoMPToN MEETING AT CoLUM,
BUs.-The great ant.Lecompton meeting held at
Columbus, Ohio, on the 10th inst, was most
earnest and influential demonstration. Besides
the speaking, which was of high order, Gov.
Walker sent long letter, which was if posi-
bic more pointed and indignant in its protesta-
tons against the Lecompton scheme than any Of
his prece ling Efforts. He says;
1--WE are asked not only to sanction the over
throw of great fundamental principle of public
liberty and the constitution, but to approve also
series of frauds and forgeries, the most papable
and the most wicked which have ever disgraced
any age country, and thus forfeit our own SELF
respect, and that Of the whole civilized world
which must be the spectators of this infamy."
Gov. Wise's letter is SO short and pungent that
we copy it entire, as follows;
