We hear from friends that ut the concert
given in Salem last Wednesday night, before
the Post of the G. A. R. 10 that city, Kotzsch-
mar played splendidly and received q most
hearty reception. The Salemites are most
decidedly musical, for on Wednesday after
noon a concert was given for the children in
the new Mechanics Hall. The hall was liter
ally packed with childres, who presented a
charming sight. w. II. Beckett, of this city,
q member Of the weber Club of New York,
sang o solo. Bush, of the same club, sang a
solo, and the two, assisted by Miss Beebe and
Miss Ball, sang a quartette. Kotzschmar
played three times. In the evening the hall
was again crowded at the Grand Army Con-
cert. The Weber Club sang magnifcently,
the nall being just the right size for their
voices to display their best qualities. On
Thursday night the Oratorio of st. Paul
crowded the house again. We bear from some
of our citizens who went up to the oratorio
that the performance was grand. Mrs. Hous-
ton, West Mrs. Barry, with Mrs. Winch, and
we forget the tenor's name, sang the solos,
while the superb chorus, $50 strong, rendered
their music with perfection of time and tune,
and response to the movements OF their con-
ductor-Carl Zerrahn-that resembled the ma.
jestic intonations of q great organ, SO perfect
was the drill and so excellent the voices. They
especially mentioned "Stone him to Death"
and "How lovely are the Messengers.

HIGH STRERT CHURCH. Yesterday morn
ing subscription was taken up at the High
street church to pay off the church debt. When
the edifce was constructed, year ago last
January, thirty thousand dollars were paid
and the remainder, twenty thousand dollars,
was put into thousand dollar bonds and dis
posed of at ninety cents on the dollar, or a
round sum of eighteen thousand dollars. The
interest on the debt amounts to about two
thousand dollars so that the sum required to
be raised was $4,000. When the subscriptions
were handed in they amounted to SIG, 147
This sum is subscribed conditionally; that is to
say, one condition is that it shall. be put aside
until the remaining $4,000 is raised, another is
that the bonds shall be bought back at ninety
cents, and if any one of the holders decline to
sell the money that would buy their bonds
shall be put aside until they are ready to sell at
that price. Then again there are members of
the parish absent and at home who have not
yet subscribed and will desire to do their share
Among some of the poorer members of the;par-
ish We have heard stories of a willingness to
help their church that if told from the pulpit
we feel confident would impel everybody to as.
sist to the utmost of their means. We heard
of one poor woman who earns precautions sub
| stance, that she is liable to be deprived of at
any moment, who last summer handed in five
dollars which she desired should 60 to the ex-
tinguishment of the debt. When the Thanks
giving offering was distributed to the poor Of
the parish her allotment was three dollars but
she desired it should 60 to the same object az
her previous gift, and. the other day she
brought five dollars more. Surely ''that poor
woman has done more than they all.'

Finally at half-past o'clock the omnibus
bill came over from the Senate with an enor-
nous batch OF amendments tackled to it, which
were read
Mr.. Dawes of Massachusetts stated that the
COMMITTEE on Appropriations had looked over
the new Senate amendments and that although
there were many things in them which they did
not entirely approve, he still thought the best
thing which they could do was to concur in all
the Senate amendments
Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio endorsed the state
ment OF Mr.; Dawes and sad that the bill as 1t
came from the Senate was an improyement on
the bill which left the House.

nve minutes spent in presentation of executive
messages. the House took a further recess till

N groups, holding noisy conversation on the
scenes OF last nights session. The opening ol

Unanimous consent being asked for several
