THE MEXICAN RUMoRs.-The gol
Spectators of New York, ever watchfu
for any means by which they can ad
vance the price of gold, have seized uI
on the rumors from Mexico for this pul
pose, and Thursday run the quotation
up to 147. These rumors come from a
indefinite source, are entirely unreliabl
and manifestly absurd, and it woul
not be at all surprising if it should b
proved that they originated by the gol
gamblers themselves to enable them
run off with some of the gold whic
they have been holding with the ide
that it would reach $50 during the pre-:
ent month. Amy one who is taken in b
their shameful tricks and buys gold t
hold, will soon have abundant reason t
repent of his gullibility.

CoNCsRT.-The concert by the Men,
delssohn Quintette Club of Boston, takes
place in this village on Tuesday evening,
Aug. 6th. 1t gives us sincere pleasure
to announce a concert of this character,
The five gentlemen composing the club
are all artists of distinguished merit,
and afford an entertainment such as
music lovers seldom have an opportuni-
ty of enjoying hereabout.
The club will be assisted by Miss
Julia Z. Houston of Boston, distin-
guished vocalist who ranks number one
among the soloists of the Boston Handel
and Haydn Society.
The programme for the concert, which
will be published in our columns in due
time, we can assure our readers promises
a very rich and choice musical treat.
The concert is given under the aus
pices of the graduating class of Middle
bury College, and we trust will be libe
rally patronized.
