OLDER's Museum, Circus and Me-

and did give and show all it had prom
lsed. 1t is certainly one of the best dis
plays ever come to this city and was pa
tronized in the afternoon and evening to
an extent never before witnessed in this
community. We met people having
travelled twenty miles in dust and ashes,
looking more like yellow statutes than hui
man beings, just to see the show. but
they were fully satisfied and highly pleas
ed with what they had witnessed, and so
of course aoc have not the least occasion

The Committee on Assessments and
Finance submit the following report:
Your Committee would most respect
fully call your attention to the fact, ihat.
considering the amcuat due to Street
Contractors for street crossings, our City
funds of which about only One Thousand
dollars IN cash is On hand, must again be
lett without any money to run the gov
eminent Of the city. We would there
fore advise your Hon. Body, not to grant
any more petitions applying for improve
ments OF streets where crossings are to
be improved, as such crossings will al
ways add to the city EXPENSES. It may
perhaps also be advisable to lay up the
dredge Tor winter quarters as soon as the
most necessary work is com pleted except
such work as may be on hand for private
parties from whom ready payment may
be expected. From the City Treasurer
we learn, that various streets are indebted
to the general fund, which debts under
the present system cannot be collected
unless some legislation can be had, au-
thorising the Board, to tax such streets,
and We would therefor recommend. that
Committee with the Mayor as Chair
man be appointed by the Chair to get
such legislation. H. MARTENS.

Oh last Saturday, was quite a success.
The opening piece, composed by our able
musical director. Prof Bieling, was exc
cuted by his band and assisting amateures,
IN mastery manner and is iatterine
evidence of the genius of its composer.
The choruses and solos by the members
of the Society were unexceptionable and
although quite difficult, were rendered
In style which would have done honor
to the best musical society. The execu-
ton of the Piano Duet, by Mr.. Bielins
and his young pupil Miss Nelson was
most exquisit; Miss n. showing splendid
progress, fine feeling and untirIng effort.
The solo songs by the Misses Kemper,
Esshnger and Bach gave great satisfac-
ton to all present, the voice and action
OF the latter especially showing fine train
ing and great natural abilities. The last
chorus was the best executed of all and
is an honor to the untiring efforts Of the
members and the superior ability of their
Instructor.
The audience consisted Of the best OF
