TIE RAILRoADs.-With q characteristic

exception, giSc excursion fares to all mem-
bcrs Of the Sewing Machine Convention to be
held in this city on Wednesday and Thursday
of this week. They will bring to our city |
from all parts Of the Northwest the numerous
persons to be assembled in this convention. !
It is probable that share Of the members Of
the convention will arrive to-day. The Tre-
mont House will be their headquarters during
their stay which will terminate pleasantly
With the great banquet on Thursday evening.
By this liberality on the part Of our railroads
they on this occasion, as often before, have

the interchange Of opinions aud experience Of
this now important branch Of the industrial

ecntion, there are few if any concert singers
superior to Carlotta Patti, With her splen-
did execution, she combines fresh WarDling
voice and vocal qualities which place her, in
the estimation Of many critics, even above
Adclina, the little'' Patti, whose achieve
ments are now filing the trumpet Of fame in
the old world. Gottschalk and his piano are
Of course inseparable. Everybody who
knows the piano knows tho unpronouncablc,
jaw-breaking, lightning fingered pianist. The
programme is all ola z,odrida Of sweet things,
and must suit everybody. Financially, the
concert must be an immense success, and
where the greenbacks are dead certainty,
there is little doubt that the Patti and G.
