GREAT SALE OF CARRIAGES, &c-The great
annual trade sale of new Carriages and bar
nesses by G. P. Kimball, ESQ.,, will take place
at his BAZAAR under the Preble House, com.
mencing at 10 O'Clock this morning. We look
ed in yesterday and noticed there were more
than one hundred carriag es, of all styles, from
the smallest to the largest, nearly all of them
new. The principal portion of them came
from the mandatory of Mr.. c. P. Kimball,
but there are some from the mandatory OF
Mr. j. NJ Kiraball, Mr.. Aaron Adams ard Mr..
Joseph Russell. Ali of them are of elegant
style and finish, and one of the best opportun-
lilies is now offered for securing handsome
vehicle at reasonable price. 1t is probably
the largest carriage sale that has been adver-
tised in New England, and, as it is trade sale
and will be continued every year, it should be
well patronized.
In addition to the carriages there is large
number of fine harnesses from the establish
ments of Mr.. j. D. Jordan, and Mr.. Henry
Dunn. These will be sold at the same time.

before a large and appreciative auditory filling
nearly all the seats. The concert opened with
a syu phony militaire by the Haydn septette,
and it was most beautifully rendered and high

under a cold, sang with sweetness and good
taste. She possesses a we'll trained mezzo-
soprano voice. and evidently understands the
science of music well. The romaDza OF Mer-

The PUBLIC LIBRARY was opened yesterday
after few weeks close for alterations and i'm
provements, which is the first time it has been
closed, if we mistake not, since it was organ
lzed. There was very large attendance of
people, anxious for some literary food. The
new alcOves were partially filled with new
books, and the improvements made were de-
cidedly necessary and welcome. The alcoves
were built by Mr.. Washington Libby, and the
work reflects much credit upon his skill The
air Of uewness every W here apparent seemed to
be much appreciated. The Willis historical
collection has been catalogued and prepared
for more general use than formerly. The en-
trance to the library will hencefortb be from
the main door direct and not through the ante
room as formerly. This room will be opened
and fitted up to accommodate those who wish
to read or copy from books. Upon the walls Of
the ante-room the pictures have been rear
ragged, and some fine new photographs, show
ing the ruins of Paris in II by the effect OF
the Franco German and the COMMUNISTS
war, which we're sent to the Library Dy Harry
Brown, are displayed. Some other improve.
ments are still to be made. We trust that the
Public Library is now taking on new lease OF
usefulness, and will be potential to still great

credentials was opposed to admitting the dele
gates. About an hour was consumed in TAX
ing the vote, which was carried on amid in
tense excitement, such as was scarcely ever
this State, though good order was maintained.
The Butler delegates were denied entrance to
the convention by vote of 6S7 to 400. The
result was received with overwhelming ap-
plause. 1t is now considered as sure that the
power of Butler in the convention is broken,
and every movement now is watched with the
utmost interest and breathless anxiety.
