The official organ" yesterday

called, of the Humboldt centenary;
this report consisting of programme
previously published in the APPEAL)
and q speech of Harry Lees which
ReCer delirered, and which, by the
way, was stolen mostly from Apple

The concert at st. Patrick's
Church, last night, was well attended,
and we are happy to say was a success
so far as receipts are concerned. The

well rendered, and the audience
seemed very well pleased. The new
organ Is an instrument of conside-
rable capacity, and under the manip-
ulations of Prof. Sabatzky, sounded
to the best advantage. The church,
which has recently sprung up in the
Southern part of the city % If by
magic, is a handsome building, and
we are happy TO know is meeting
with a hearty support from a large and
intelligent congregation.
The Allen BrOs.-hosts of the
Commercial UOtel-whose popularity

are piled up in great heaps for
acres ia extent about the depot. The
officers of the road Gre using every
exertion to favor e0nsignses and de-
liver freight as rapidly as is possible.
The immense business cFowding upon

give satisfaction in all cases. The
small storage room at the depot, and
other causes have arisen to re-
tard work, and if the public under
stood all the particulars their COM
would be silenced. There Is
no doubt but the railroad men are
using every eXertion to do their duty
towards the merchants of this city
and their patrons everywhere without
favor or discrimination.
