the final rehearsal of the Evansville
Orchestra, preparatory to their grand
concert to be given tomorrow night,
at Crescent City Hall, and were sur
prised not only at the magnitude of
their organization. but at the perfec-
aion of their performance. We found
a large room full of singers and mu-
aoians, aud their number was but
about half full. The music was not
anly charming but majestic, and sub
lime, and cannot fail to extort the
wxrmest applause from all who have
she slightest taste for or appreciation
Of music. Almost every conceivable
variety of music and tone will be In
Eoduced from tic soft whisperings of
ahe evening zephyr to the deep diapa-
son of Heavens mightiest artillery.
The vocal will be consonant with the
instrumental, and those who absent
themselves from the Crescent City
Hall tomorrow night will miss one of
ahe grandest and most artistic enter
sainments ever attempted in this city,
which will probably never be excelled
nntil the Sangerfest is held here.

Three young men were arraigned
