tended the audience being select and apprc-
ciative. Mr.. Pate, fully sustained his reputa'
ton as an accomplished reader-his voice being
remarkable for its cearness distinclness and
smoothuess. His readings last night were Sc
lections from the play of William Tell, the adj
dress of Spartacus to the Gladiators and to the
Roman Euvoys, the Mystery Of Hat, and the
Bells, and all were rendered in appropriate and
excellent style The manner in which the ad
dress of Spartacus to the Gladiators was de-
livered would have reflected credit upon the
most distinguished professional artist, and en-
titles the reader TO be ranked with the first co-
cutionists of the day. Mr.. Pate may rest as
surcd that the generosity which prompted him
to respond so cheerfully to the request OF the
Alexandria Literary Association to read for the
benefit of the poor Of the city is duly apprecia
ted by the citizens of Alexandria, who will ever
hold him in the kindest remembrance.

APPLICANTS FOR WooD The Mayors office
during the morning hours is almost daily crowd
ed with applicants for wood. AS the appropria
ton made by the City Council to buy wood Tor
the poor was very small, the quantity purchased
was, of course, limited, and consequently but
few of those who apply can be supplied, and
they only in what may be called driblets.
