THE GRAND CONCERT for the benefit OF the
poor resulted in the handsome sun of one
thousand and eighty one dollars, (SLO8i) as
we have stated heretofore. The executive
committee, who had the distribahon Of the
funds in charge, deemed il wise to give the
whole amount to the Providsnt Aid Society,
as this Association confers aid to all, i.respec.
tive Of class. The object of the orginarors of
the concert Is thus fully realized. The thanks
of the public are certainly due to the ladies and
gentlemen whose eminent talent rendered the
concert a success, and 10 the gentlerden execu.

the duties assigned them: and last though not
least, to the "Social Circle" at whose instance
the whole plan originated. May they soon
