! The MUSICAL FESTIVAL, under the direction
tenueu aihf gave much pleasure To the friends Of
the amateurs. Mrs. Aliens singing was espe-
cialfy goou, and the young ladies and the young

and sktul The trins for piano, violin, and VIC
lincello, by Messrs b. D. Allen, Burt and Stearn,,

entertainment was successfully accomplished
AN ORGAN FOR MECHANICS HALL.-A m9ve-
ment has been initiated having for its object
the supply of this want. A cordial invitation is
extended TO all persons interested TO attend a
meeting in the library room of the Mechanics
Association this Saturday, evening, at 7 1-2
O'Clock, for consideration AMI action on the sub
jet. Our whole community will wish success
TO this attempt, as there is no part of popu-
lation which does not feel an interest and pride
in the great hall. Give it now an organ to fill
The case which has been so long waiting for it.
and let the organ be of such compass and ex-
celence shall make it worthy to be there, and
the hail will be compete, lacking no hing. This
is one of those undertakings which are sure 10 be
done metime and when done will never be re-
pented Of o. course there are difficulties in the
way Of doing j, now, and there will be to the end
of time. The Gully question is can they not be
overcome? That is for the meeting to consider.

ing that tall chimney at Nathan Washburn's iron

deceased soldier Of one of the Massachusetts
regiments, by rebel, who afterwards gave it to
Mr.. Adams, Il member of the Rhode Island cav
airy, and formerly Of this city, who is DESTROYS
of finding its true owner. The ambrotype was
probably taken by Worcester artist, and can
lie seen by calling on j. ii. Bancroft, No 2 Cen
tral Exchange.
