This evil, though an imported ONE, has
finally grown to such proportions, that tho
good Of society requires some action to be
taken These Northern ephemera, more OF
less groas, always worthless, find their way

The concert.

To- II IL q
How many of our readers have heard the
world-renowned twelfkh mesa of Mozart
Those who have heard II need mo advice 70
go again where they can enjoy the same
musical feast. Those who have never had
that opportunity, know, Of course, that this
work is one Of ths musical wonders of the
world. It is = chef deMrre, 4 triumph Of
genius that no one onght to miss enjoying,
if possible. vi ~ ra 4
It is reasonable to pFesame from the pre-
partitions and facilities for this perform
ance, that this wonderful mass has never
been rendered ON thia continent, in style
superior to that which We may expect ON
this occasion. We are told that Mr.. La
Hache has combined for this grand effort
all the church choirs Of the city, and many
other Of our best vocalists, ladies and gen.
tlemen, numbering in all nearly one hun
bred. This magnificent array of talent will
be aided by the grands orchestra Of the
French Opera, comprising some twenty five
members, and the effect may readily be inn
agined.
The soloists are Miss ID {s0prano) and
Madame On (alto1 Of the st. Louis Cathe-
drai; Messrs. Meteye, A. Davis, and Tracy,
(tenors, and Messrs. Bremen and Wheeler,
(bass.) The organists and leaders of the
choirs, will also assist.
We are requested by Mr.. LaHache to say
that the last rehearsal, with full orchestra,
will be held in the hall to- morrow (Monday)
evening at six o'clock precisely, without
postponement on account of the weather.
We would recommend our friends to 20
early if they wish to have the selection of
seats, for there will assuredly be large au-
diencein attendance. There will be first, the
friends and lovers of good music, then the
friends and admirers of the performers,
next the friends of those many and respect
able gentlemen who are on the committee of
arrangements, then the friends and patrons
of orphans, who are q numerous body in
this city, the friends of the Sisters of Chari-
ty, and their name is legion, and lastly the
friends Of humanity who have heard of the
distress, the scanty food of the children and
Sisters in the noble institution Of st. Eliza
beth, which is the beneficiary of this enter
tainment.
In the name, then, Of enjoyment, as well
as of compassion for misfortune, let each
one make little exertion, perhaps little
sacrifice, and let the grand hall of St. Al
phonsus be well filed. Remember, next
Wednesday evening, at half past seven.
There are a few tickets at this Office for
disposal.

The aina Election.

In the election which took place in Maine on
Monday, the 18th inst, the Radical ticket was
elected by a majority of about $4,000. The
Radical majority in the election In 1866 was
more than 81 ,OOO In the recent election the
Radicals gained about 5000, and the Demo
Gratis gained about $4,000. No one expected
Maine to elect the Democratic ticket, though
many supposed the Radical ticket would be
elected by less majority. The Democrats
have not expected to be able to carry but one
of the New England States in the Presidential
election. and that State is Connecticut The
vote in the New England States does not lndl-
cate how the middle and Western States will
vote. for the argument in the Western States
&c that the policy of the Radical party pro-
,otes the interests of New England at the ex-
,oneo Of the interests of the Western States. =
The reasons urged why the people OF the West
should vote against the Radical party, are
reasons why the Yankees OF New England
sbonld vote in favor of it, As sc have before
remarked. the elections which will occur On the
18th of October may indicate how the vote Id
the Presidential election viii be cast. AS yet,
we see no reason for surrenderlng the pehei
that Seymour and Blair will be elected.
P. Slater news from Maine reports the
majority more than 10000.

Mr.. Thos. A. Bell, in the village of Frankford
Greenbrier county, W. Va, with their con

flames were not discovered until too late to be
extinguished, notwit hstanding the most des
perate efforts were made by the citizens of the
town to accomplish that result. A little boy,
about eight years of age, who had baen living
in Mr.. Bells family, and who, at the time Of
the accident, was asleep in the Kitchen could
not be rescued from the burning ruins. His
remains were not secured until the day sue
