MILE. PICC0L0MINI AT ST. GEORGES

HALL.
The attendance last night fully confirmed our
opinion that the public were quite ready for mu
steal feast after their three months FAST the hall
was crowded in every part by a fashionable, and,
we may add, approaching audience. The exc
cutants have already been several times referred to
In these columns prior to the concert, and it is
hardly necessary to do more than passingly notice
the performance There was no particular feature
last.night; the tavorite prima donna was lavish of
her Establishments, and certainly did her best to
supply the want of first class vocazation by sweet
glances and witching smiles. She was thoroughly
successful; nearly every piece of music in which
she sang encered; and the caterer on the occa-
sion evidently came to foregone conclusion on the
point, for in instance the encore printed in
the book, viz: "Sempre hberd deggio," which she
sang being encored in f'Ah! for8'e lu" parts of
the song very charmingly given, but the gen.
eral effect was married by exaggerated expression.
''Tornami dr. the pretty duet from ''Don Pas
quale, was nicely sung, Signor Beart's voice tell
ing very sweetly throughout; indeed, thisgentleman
is much improved since we last heard him, and sang
"Com gentip' very well, meeting with recall and
nearly receiving encore. We cannot say we
liked either of the English songs; though Piecolo
minis II dreamt that dwelt' was BY far the best
of the two, Madam Borchards cadences and inter-
polations in "Home sweet home" being in very
bad TASTE We decline referring to Moore's ''Y Dung
May Moon introduced by Mile. Piccolomini, as
we could say nothing in its praise; but we must en-
ter our protest against charming melody and
sweet poetry being converted into comic song
Madame Borchardt sang several horid pieces in
Guiding, valse from Meyerbeer's new opera with
much huency; her voice is clear and musical,
though devoid of much expression. We have be-
fore referred to Mile. Piccolomns inability to do
justice to Mozarts music. The duet from ssNoage
a. Figaro, confirmed our ideas on this point. 1t
was encored nevertheless
HE oLDEsT CHURCH IN AMERIoA.-It was built in
1851, IN the town of bingham, Massachusetts. and
is still occupied as place Of worship. The bell
rope hangs down In the middle of the house. where
it was placed in order that the bell might be rnng
instantly to give alarm of any sudden Indian incur
sion. There are many of the old-fashioned square
pews in the house, enclosed by what resembles
more high and substantial implanted fence than
anything TO be seen in modern church. The frame
is of oak, and the beams are huge and numerous
The old house is good for two hundred years more.
This old church has old pastor, the Rev. Joseph
Richardson: having preached in it for fifty-three
! years.-Ercbange paper.

Mr.. SPUGGEoN's LAsr.-Mr Sturgeon, in preach
in at Norwich last week, INDUCED in some of his
characteristic humor. Content" he said, .'made
our cup run over, while discomfort knocked the
the bottom out" The story which had recently
appeared in the papers about his having a large
fortune left him was complete hoax; if he to
have guinea for every fslsehood told about him,
he could build his great chapel very soon and pro-
badly have enough left for a cathedral or two. .
Christian men sometimes fell terribly foul of each
other, like the two English ships which broadsded
each other for hours in a mist without knowing
that the British flag flying at the mastheads.
The lazy of the biggest sinners on
earth if he did nothing else be broke one of Gods
greatest commandment There was a very strict
Sabbatarian gardener who very hard upon
his master about the observance of the Sabbath His
master said to him, "Why, you break the COM
mandments yourself" elbow ? +" said the gardener,
81 don't work Sunday" "No," quoth the
master nor on any other day. Just repeat the
commandment" The gardener obeyed, and when
be to ''six days shalt thou labor and do all
that thou hast to dc" his master sad There, stop
there; this is as much part of the commandment
as that the seventh day is the Sabbath"
The sticking for sectarian distinctions was alb
surd as if hungry about to eat some bread
were told by a Churchman "No bread like the tin
loaf" or by Methodist, "You must eat twists"
The hungry man would say, "Give me some Bread
and | will settle the shape afterwards" 1t Jars
somehow upon the feelings to see the copious
ports which the country papers give of Mr.. Spur
geon's sermons copiousy interarded with s'laugh-
ter."-London Times, August9.
We noticed, at the Adams Express Office, on
Saturday, couple of the Ecliptendean breed of
chickens. They were imported for w. b. Fetter-
man, of Pittsburg. Owing to their rarity, the for
eigners were the observed of all observers during
their short soourn here. Instead of feathers, they
are covered with hair like that of lap dog, and
have curious, fancifu red ornament on the top of
their heads. They are as white as snow and really
beautiful Wheeling Int.
