SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT. : Dropping into
| Pine Street M. E. Church Sunday evening, !
! witnessed one of the most interesting Sabbath
School Concerts I have enjoyed for many
months. After the prelminares the exercises
commenced with number of small scholars
repeating the Lords Prayer, for which pres
ents were given to those who repeated correct
ly and sufficiently loud to be heard in the re-
mote part of the house, for the purpose of in
ducing them to take part in their concerts
All the exercises were admirably performed
and reflected much credit upon the scholars
who took part, also upon the teachers and Su-
perntendent who is welliadapted. to the posi-
tion he fills. "The right man in the right
place."
The Monument of Truth was one of the pieces
performed by twelve misses and young ladies,
as recorded in I'd Peter commencing with the
foundation Faith, and then adding the other
Christian graces, Virtue, knowledge, Temper
ance, Patience, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness
and Charity, and upon the top Dove was
placed. Each one of these virtues was repre-
sentcd by young misses repeating a verse of
Scripture appropriate to the grace they rep
resented, placing at the time their block upon
the monument. The exercises were inter-
spersed with singing, accompanied by the Or
gan. This church has a fourishng Sabbath
School, working membership, and an able
and devoted pastor. A STRANGER.
KELLY & LEoN.-To night this excellent
troupe of mnstrels will open at City Hail. We
are unable to give any particulars in regard to
them as we are not informed as to the different
performers But we are willing to take their
we'll established reputation, and we have no
doubt City Hall will be packed bv all who are
fond of excellent minstrel entertainments.

WooDwARD's GAS CARBoNIzER.-This in

tested by many parties the past two years who
have furnished testimonials as to its value. It
may be applied to the gas. meter without any
trouble. The gas is made to unite with the va
por of spirits, thereby gaining in Illuminating
power, decreasing the consumption and also
the heat. 1t may be seen in operation at Levi
s. Browns store, corner OF Temple and Fed
eral streets, and we are told that the Falmouth
and Preble Houses intend adopting it.
