formed about year and half since by a
few young ladies and gentlemen for mutual
Improvement and practicein the noble Science
Of Music. The society fourished wonder
fully, and now numbers about fifty members,
all Of whom are devoted to he art, and who
are proficient in the science. The concer.
last mig IT showed this. The pieces were well
sung, and called forth much applause The
society contains some Of the best singers in
the city, and is IN f1ourishing state. The
supper last night will add to their fame, for ii
was a fine affair, and the members all labor d
to make their guests as much at home as po> :
possible, and were successful, too, for it was
one of those rare seasons Of social enjoy

If we will not be our brothers keeper, our
brother will be perpetual torment and dis
grace us The Rev. Mr.. jackson mentioned
at the meeting on Monday, a case in which a
boy of only fourteen had been ten times in
prison, and had cost the public 94fM in pros
ecuting and furnishing him, leaving hun just
AZ bad, or rather, we fear, worse than ever.
Had that lad been introduced early IN Reg
ged School, he might have become useful
member of the community, instead of turn
ing out, as he did, nuisance and pest. A
few en-pound notes spent in Ragged Schools
would save US thousands Of pounds in poor
rates, gaol rates, police rates, and the ex-
penses of criminal prosecutions.-Leed's Her.

The feezing of the river will be detri-
