Will here state that it is exceedingly cold in

previous time this season. The degree of cold
az indicated by thermometers, varies according
TO location, tendency of the owner to exaggerate,
and such other unavoidable Influences as al
ways stand in the way of accurate observations
based ON hcarsay. The reddesl nosed, most
pinched up, and frozen-Iooking sufferers chatter
about ten and twelve degrees below; while 9TH

The CONCERT LAST EvENING.-Nearlv five
hundred persons eyinced their interest in the
concert given at the Old South church, last
evening, by their presence on the occasion.
This attendance, with the thermometer below
zero, must be considered as quite complimentary
to those taking part. The church, as lighted
for the first time since its renovation, presented
pleasant and cheerful appearance; the atcra-
lions made, adding much to the comfort of the
attendants.
The programme, consisting of fourteen num-
bcrs, tastefully arranged with regard to variety
chorus, was rendered in an admirable manner,
as might reasonably be expected from such
eminent talent, under the clear and steady di-
Tection of so excellent a conductor. As our
space will not allow our entering into detail, we
can only say that the audience testified their
satisfaction by expressions of approval of nearly
all the selections rendered, in several instances
amounting to decided encoreS.
At the conclusion of the concert the choir
were entertained with graceful hospitality by
the ladies of the Old South, a choice collation.
