greeting at Mechanics hall tomorrow night.
The sale of tickets for Mrs. Mouton's concert
on Friday evening next, will commence this
morning at O'Clock, at the music store of

Rev NJ. NJ. Parkhurst, formerly Of this city,
but more recently of Chicago will give brief
and thrilling description Of the late Chicago fire,
at Trinity church, corner OF Main and Chandler
streets, this evening, at O'Clock. Mr.. Park
bursts church, parsonage and the residences OF
over two hundred families connected with his
church, were destroyed by the late conaagration.
A flag bearing the motto, Washbum and
Tucker, was stretched across Main street, from
the Spy building to City hall, from the republic
can headquarters last evening, a republican
crowd cheering the act 1t was contemplated to
have band of music on the occasion, but
previous engagements made it impossible for
any one of the three bands here TO appear and
the notice was too short to secure one from any
other quarter.

that is accorded to "Uncle Toms Cabin" In

. ard, was of such a character as to merit the
highest commentator.
4 A Hebrew tn-peddler by the name Of Joseph
* BrOwiski, with his entire stock OF cheap ware

terday afternoon knocked down, and his basket
of tin trumpery taken rudcly away by fellow
who further displayed his meanness by tearing
up the mercantile license of the dealer in cups
and candlesticks. The goods were nearly all re-
covered in battered condition--ke the owner
but the highwayman has not been found, and
tie ski of Josephs Blow is clouded with gloom.
The many concerts with which GIlmorc'S
band has delighted an audience in Mechanics
hall renders Il REORGANIZATION of what is to
come tonight unnecessary. 1t may be well,
however, to again remind the many admirers Of
Arbuckle in this city of the fact that he will
come with the band and give us two solos
