ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

MORE TESTIMONIAL CONCERT LAST
EvESNG.-The dress circle was we'll
and fashionably filled last evening, aud
the entertainment given was very
good indeed, consisting of choice songs,
ballads, quartettes, choruses, etc., by
members of the Choral Society and
other talented vocal and instrumental
performers. Professor Sauer presided
at the piano In bis own superior and
effective style, and the whole enter.
tainment was under the direction OF
Pasmore himself. We have neither
time nor space for more than a brief
mention of some Of the most meritori-
Gus features. The piano solo of little
Laura Dorwin, Of Gold Hill, a mere
child Of ten years, was very meritorlous
indeed, showing most remarkable mu-
steal taste, correctness and proficiency
In one so young, especially considering
that she has been only one year under
the tuition Of Professor Pasmore.
Crossing the Ferry" a sweet n
amusing little ballad, was pleaslngly
sung BY Miss Belle Tausig, receiving a
loud encore, to which she responded
with the popular ballad of "'lis Bet
ter 10 Laugh Than Be Signing" MI.
r. H. Lindsay, in his series Of Sketches
a Ia Vivian, made q decided hit-a bet
ter hit than even the great Vivian him
self did on that same stage. wait
for the Turn Of the Tide" Widow
Machree," "Castles in the Air." and
the "English Convict" were the
sketches he gave, and all were heartily
applauded, especially the last, which
certainly was capital In both makeup
and execution. Mrs. Wastell sang a
popular ballad or so, accompanied by
Miss Knapp on the piano, receiving an
encore. She has q sweet but not pow
erful contralto voice. The same may
be said Of Mrs. Summers, who sang
"Children,s Voices" with a finely
m.:dulated chorus and musical accom-
napiment, given behind the scenes,
With most pleasing effect. Miss Ida
Knapp sang in her own peculiar, IRE,
sIstibie, quantity serio-comic style u
Hardly Think WILL" and although
abe responded to the vociferous encore
with another very pleasing and anus
ING little ballad, yet the audience was
NOT satisfied; all wanted to hear her
sIns some more. She Is d~eservedly q
fayorite. But the most brilliant sue
cess of the evening was that OF MIS-.
j, A. Stephens formerly Miss Belle
Bealsl, of Gold Hill. She possesses
a remarkably sweet and well
trained soprano voice, OF good
owe and compass, and sanga charm
inc serenade, 40 Ida," which was
most appreciatively encored, and she
replied with another very pleasing
ballad. She has evidently received a
most excellent musical education,
which combines with natural talent
and correct taste most effectively. lt
being her first appearance upon the
.tage before a critical audience, she
did not appear quite at ease, and con-
seouently did not give that full effect
10 her fine voice which Is acquired oy
experience and confidence. AS q
whole, the concert was q success anu
quite complimentary to Prof. Pasmore'
SEVERE AccrpENT.-John Cameron,
a teamster employed by Mr.. Dunning
at Rigby's mill, says the Carson Regis

ing owe the limb, tore the nesh en-
tirely off the bone from q point hall
way between the knee and ankle down
to the ankle joint, and mashed the
foot badly, Drs. Lee and Brewer were
called to sec him, after his arrival at
the Corbett House. and rendered all
the aid possible. The physicians think
1t doubtful If the foot can be saved.
