After the Lingards' engagement closes,
the Berger Family Bell Ringers will appear
at the Academy. They will appear next
Monday night, ninth instant. The Selma
Times says of them:
The weather was very unpromising last
night, but we have seldom seen a larger,
and never a more refined and intelligent
audience in this city than was assembled at
the Opera house on the occasion of the first
appearance of the Berger Family Bell Ring.
ers. And if the individual and collective
opinion of the audience is to be taken as an
evidence of the quality Of the entertain
ment, the Bergers may congratulate them
selves on having furnished the most elegant
and pleasing performance ever given in the
hall. Where all are so good, it is diticul: to
particularize. Miss Anna Berger possesses
rare musical talents, being an excellent per-
former on the violin and cornet. and having
a voice OF great sweetness and compass.
she gave some of the popular Liugard
songs. with great effect, and had she
answered every encore, would have been
kept repeating for hours. Added to her
musical attainment5 she ls a lady of charm
ing personal appearance and graceful and
pleasing on the stage.
The cornet solo of Prof. Gardner was an
exquisite musical gem, and ELECTED The
WarmtSt applause. Inc Otau Dell SOiO
of Miss Elite Berger was wonderful
achievement in that line, and the audience
GENEROUSLY demanded its repetition. Sol
Smith Russell, in his facial caricatures and
character impersonations is inimitable, and
his appearance on the stage was the signal
for general outburst of laughter through
out the house. The harp solo of Mr.. Whit
comb was splendid, and the duet on that
instrument by Miss Louisa Berger and Mr..
Whitcomb was well received by the audience.
The bell and instrumental portion OF the
entertainment were unexceptionable, and,
taken altogether, we have never seen a
performance where there was so much to
commend and go little chance to find fault.
The selections of music, the behavior of the
performers while on the stage, and the
whole entertainment, evince the most re.
fined taste aud judgment, and we neither
saw or heard anything at which the most
fastidious could complain.

Extra Ordiuary Defalcnsl0ns

From the Leavenworth (kansasI Commercial
Some time ago We gave an account of some
extraordinary defacations which had taken
place in the accounts of Collector John
Speer, of the internal revenue department,
bat at that time no full examination of the
papers had taken place, and the extent OF
the enlightenment was unknown. Since that
time Investigations have been made. and it
has come to our knowledge that the frauds
on the revenue, committed by John Speer,
involve an amount Of not less than 500, O00
Up TO the close of the year 1866, John
Speer, of Lawrence, who earned the sobri-
ouet of the Honest" from his supposed
Integrity, was the collector of revenue for
this State, and some time ago it began to
be whispered that his accounts were not
entirely as they should be. An investiga.
ton is now going on in this case, and d
large number of witnesses have been exam
incl, from whose evidence there is no doubt
that Mr.. Speer has received, in his official
capacity, a sum OF at least 100000, which
remains unaccounted for, or rather is &C
counted for by the series Of fraudulent
statements, false atfidavits, and forgeries,
which prove the cOncoCter of the same to
be cOnsummate scoundrel.
1t appears that, in making his returns.
Speer placed on the list Of absconders and
ms olyents many prominent citizens of this
pace, whose receipts for taxes he at that
time held, and the amounts of which collec.
tons he had appropriated to his own use.
These names are in many instances known
to US, aud include some of the most prom
inent business men of this city. In the fall
of last year Supervisor MARI, then OF St.
LOUIS, was sent &c this State to make an in-
vestigation, and it is PRINCIPALLY through him
that the present swiDdie has been uEearthed.
The bondsmen of Speer are Mr.. Babcock,
Mr.. Carney and Sidney Clarke, and the
latter, at the commencement, attempted to
squeich the proceedings by endeavoring to
induce Colonel Mari to make report, clear.
ing Speer, which Colonel Mari, to his honor,
refused to do.
1t further appears that one OF Spetr's
fraudulent practices was ID induce his de-
puties to furnish him with blank certificates
and statements, duly sworn to and a;tested
under oath, which certificates he filed him.
self, and in a msnner unknown 10 them.
In some instances his deputies objected to
such action, and refused to furnish the
required papers or attest in any way that
they were ignorant of, but others were mere
instruments in his hands, and did what he
required.
Before the investigation is closed there
viii doubtless be further exposures, but
sufficient has already come to light to cause

The CHARITY WAGoN.-The police are
complaining of the difficulty they experience
in sending the debilitated and sick they pick
up at nights to the hospital. It is impos-
sible to obtain wagon after nightfall, and
it becomes necessary to make people, hardly
able to stand, walk long distances before
they can be attended to. Last night there
were three men brought to the first precinct
station who were too sick to walk, and yet
it became necessary to walk them to the
Charity Hospital. The charity wagon they
claim ought to be at the orders OF the police
until one O'Clock at night

rs 1t the City of Boston

TIE telegraph informs US that whalers.
returned to Dundee from Greenland, report
g steamer fast in the ice, there, and that yes
sells have been dispatched to her relief. The
description of the frozen in steamer is not
given. 1t may prove to be one Of the steam
feet of whalers from Great Britain that go
there every season; but the brief dispatch
leaves US quite in the dark in the matter.
The supposition that it may prove the long
missing City of Boston is not an unlikely
one. She was reported to have had short
supply of sails, and after losing them, and
all control over her was lost, she would
drift in that direction, if she had not left the
limits of the Gulf Stream. Should it fortu.
nately be the City of Boston, there is a
chance that those on board may yet be
saved, if they were enabled to Withstand the
intense cold of those inhospitable regions,
as portion of the steamers cargo consisted
of provisions. Let US hope it may be so.
