tours have kindly volunteered their services. The
programme has not yet becn made public, but
with fcw ezcotcns 4 VII :;s tho sir,o as Lhat
previously performed This has been done by the
request Of numerous parties, who Expressed them
solves pleased with tho selections made, and be-
cause tho limited timc will not allow the study OF
many new pieces.
| AS the object OF this concert is charity and tho
proceeds arc intended for purpose that has al
| ready excited the public attention, viz. the re-
demption Of st. N1ichaels Bells it is fair pre-
| sumption that the attendance will be even larger
than on the former occasion. The Citadel Square
Church can comfortably seat over one thousand
persons, and as only nine hundred dollars or re-
CURED to complete the Bell Fund, there is little
doubt that the requisite amount will be forthcom-
ing on Monday night, and by the end Of the week
tho bells will summon the devout to their different
sanctuarics, Us they did in by-gone years.
The concert was received with such decided
favor on the last occasion, and the wish of the
community being now in favor of it's rcpeti-
ton, the anticipated result is almost ccrtoin, and
tho $500 will be speedily produced from the same
number OF pockets. It was decided 70 select Mon
day for this performance-frst, Oh account Of the
limited time, but principally because NIrKE LIP
| MANS circus would arrive on Tuesday, and the
competition might prove unfavornble to tho con-
cert. From knowledge that we have obtained VIC
| can promise our readers Tich musical treat; tho
pieces are from the best authors and tho perform
crs in every way calculated to do them justice.
The bells are part and parcel of our community,
and since their silence blight has fallen upon us
which can only be removed by their cheerful peals
Sunday has almost lost its sacred identity, and
only the regular church-goers know their ap-
pointed times for worship. The price of a ticket
to tue concert is small matter compared with the
mr. n 1anr rip fha oI5 oh;
and all whose souls are not dead to rcconecticns
of their pleasing melody will go to the concert,
enjoy themselves for night, and pay for last
ing pleasure in the future.
