OPERATE CoNcERr-We are to be refresh
ed and delighted anew this evening with
musical entertainment by Madame Bishop and
her talented troupe. We say refreshed; for
what says the Great Dramatist;
"Preposterous ass that never read so far
To know the cause why music ordain ID,
- Was it not to refresh the mind of man,
After his studies, or his usual pain,"
Music not only refreshes, but it refines. No
man can listen to good concert, if there is
spark of divinity in him, without being BEN
Gifted by it. We advise, therefore, all who
seek refreshment and improvement to attend
At New City Hall this evening. The pro-
gramne will have been seen by the most of
our citizens, and they will perceive we are to
have something out Of the common course.
Madame Bishop of herself, however. is suffi-
Gent TO attract. She might with great truth
apply to herself Moores exquisite lines:
'.For mine is the lay that lightly floats,
I And mine are the murmuring dying notes,
That tall ms soft as snow on the sea,
And melt in the heart instantly.
ar And the passionate strain that, deeply going,
Refines the bosom it trembles through,
As the west-wind, over the water blowing,
Rufies the wave, but swectens it too"
Tomorrow evening Madame Is. will give a
Concert at Lewiston. We learn that arrange
ments are in progress for Grand Sacred Con-
cert by Madame Bishop and others, to be Civ
en- in the New City Hall one week from next
Sabbath evening.

in the New City Building TO the Loyal Nation

former. We did not get in to the Council
meeting, until the matter had bee disposed
OF, and the paper was sent up We went sup
to that board and were told that we had seen
every document that had been presented, and
we supposed we had, hence the omnission.-
The order was referred to the committee on
Public Buildings.

WEsTBRooK SEMINARY.-The spring ex
tuition commenced Monday and concluded
yesterday forenoon. Yesterday was class day,
devoted mostly to an exhibition of the literary
departments. We are glad to record the pro-
ficency manifested in the recitations and the
steady progress of the school under the care
of Mr. McCollister and assistants. Monday
evening was devoted to select declarations
and yesterday afternoon to original essays and
oratons by the ladies and gentlemen. The
length of the numerous pieces was so great,
as to render the exercises somewhat tedious,
but each possessed a degree of merit, quite
praiseworthy.
Last evening the Eromathian Adelphi, a
secret literary society connected with the Sem
mary, founded by its pupils in 1859 and num-
bering scores of members, celebrated its ami
versary, with the annual address from Rev. ii.
Stebbins of this city. Mr.. S. in familiar
manner addressed the students eloquently on
their duties and aims. His suggestions were
decidedly practical, and much appreciated and
his happy mode of delivery and thought de-
lighted as well as instructed the numerous au-
dence.
On the whole, we can remember no exhibit
ton at the Seminary of more general interest,
or one with which its friends have been more
pleased.

ing to have graphic picture of the changes,
the sorrows and the joys which are expert
enced by so many families in our country, will
60 and see it, We predict for it sensation
in this city, as it has had such effect every

SERIOUS ACCIDENT-Hon. Toppan Robe,
of Gorham, was found in au insensible condi-
ton yesterday morning, at the foot of the
stairs of building he was repairing in that
town. 1t was supposed he had been attacked
with fainting fit and fell down the stairs, as
his head was somewhat bruised. He remain
ed in stupor for some time, but, when our
informant left that town, had somewhat recov-
cred. Mr.. Robbie is about so years of age, and
such an accident must be serious one to him.
But we hope for the best result.
