MUSICAL SoIREE.-It may not be generally
known to our citizens that there is musical
organization in our city called the "Mass Club,
the members of which occasionally meet to
practice and improve themselves in the divine
art. Last Monday evening they met at the
residence of Mr.. John L. Shaw and performed
Haydn's Sd, Mass composition which will
never cease to engage the attention Of the low
ers of good music. On the occasion there was
small orchestra and piano forte accompari-
ment, and some twenty vocalists This mass
was admirably performed. The music is of
high order and some passages difficult Of exc
cution, yet the members Of this Club mastered
it with apparent ease. We are glad we have
such an organization among us. Such exhibit
tions!will not only improve the taste of tie
performers, but of those who hear them. We
are not aware, however, that they intend to
give us public performance, but should they
conclude to do so, we can assure them that
they would not lack for an audience.

Sunday Evening Concerts.

Mr.. EDIToR,-We were glad to see, by ref
erence to the doings of the Common Council
on Monday last, that more liberal spirit
pervaded their action in reference to Sunday
evening concerts than that which actuated the
decision of the Aldermen week previous.
Without going into the question of sectarian
views on the subject lin regard to which every
man has the best right to be his own judge)
we think with a former communicate, ST. d.
that there is very large number of residents
and Taxpayers who see no harm in good mu-
sic, but rather a moral and elevatipg tendency.
AS to music being religious or secular, it is
simply question of the time in which it is
played. If you should play "Old Hundred"
in certain time you turn it into a dance tune.
A number OF the same men, who have COM
posed what is called sensual music by many,
are also the authors Of some of the most beau
riful church music extant And the writers
of many of the hymns in the church by mn
books have written species of poetry, at one
time or another in their life, that few heads of
families would care to see in their children's
hands, ITO the pure all things are pure" and
therefore let our city fathers look at this mat
ter in a rational light and not debar many
from pleasure which no one is compelled to
indulge in against his feelings of what is right
