There is portion of the above debt which
will be selfsustaining, or what might now prop
erly be called an investment, to wit: the wafer
debt, now amounting to $650,000, the income
from sales of water amounting to nearly the
cost OF maintenance and interest on the invest
ment.
The amount paid, being 40 per cent on the
twenty-six hundred and twenty-five shares sub
scrihed for in the stock Of the Boston, Barre and
Gardner road, 800, $50. The road will be COM
pleted as early as July next, when an income
from the Investment may be relied upon.
There is also the sewer debt of the city,
amounting TO S865,O00, two-thirds of which
should be assessed upon the estates bene-
fitted, amounting to S576,667. Ii is the opinion
of the committee that the assessments above
alluded to should commence at as early day
as possible, as the city are losing large amount
in interest upon the sum expended for sewerage
purposes.
The amount charged to street accounts, $780,
600, is money borrowed temporarily for the pur-
pose of widening, grading and extending streets,
a portion Of the sum to be assessed as soon as
the streets are completed, upon the estates bene-
fitted,

Mr.. ALIENS SECOND CHAMBER CONCERT
The second of Mr.. B. d. Aliens series of CLASH
cal concerts was given last evening, with the
eminent assistance of Mrs. G. A. Barry as
vocalist, and Messrs. Schultze, Fries and Ryan,
of the Mendelssohn quintette club. Mrs Barry
sang Barcarolle by Rossni, a choice thing,
and entirely new here. Her second selection,
Schubert's "Wanderer," was admirably suited
TO her voice and style, and the true pathos and
strong expression which she gave it, exhibited
alike her high culture, and her correct interpre-
tation Of the best music. Receiving au enthu-
Siastic encore, she responded with quaint
little song by Franz. On her third APP
pearance, she sang Forget Me Not" beauti-
full song by Mr.. Allen, and "The Shepherds
Lay" by Mendessohn The Romance" for
clarinet, by Schumann, was so beautifully
played by Mr.. Ryan that he was recalled and
the audience was favored with another number
of the same author. Mr.. Allen was warmly
greeted as he appeared for his piano solo-"Ron-
deau OPP. 49, of Chopin"-and his fine interpreta-
ton of this exceedingly difficult composition
gave him the unqualified appreciation of the
audience. He responded to an encore with
short composition of his own. The concerted
music comprised Beethoven's Grand Trio for
piano, violin and violoncello, and Mo-
zarts most celebrated quarteste for pi-
ano, violin, viola and cello. 1t is
hardly necessary to speak of the fine rendering
of these great works Past experience has
taught us what to expect from the eminent
artists who performed them. 1t is sufficient to
say, that the perfect blending of the instruments
and the beautiful expression and colOriDg OF
every movement of both trio and quartette were
such as only artists like these can produce. Two
more opportunities remain this season to hear
these grand compositions. Our lovers of the
best music should bear this in mind and fill the
hall.

RESULT OF ELEoTIoN.-The municipal cleo
ton yesterday, resulted in the choice of Edward
Earle for mayor, to succeed Mr.. Chaplin who
consented toshold the office ad interim after the
death of Mr.. Blake. The appearance at each
ward room promptly at nine, of an active corps
of workers for a ticket bearing the name of DR..
F. H. Kelley, revealed the fact that there was
to he lively contest The supporters the nom
nation made at the Mechanics hall mass meet
ing had no reason to expect such nexplicable
boiling, and were taken by surprise. The news
was speedily in circulation, and until two
o'clock the polls presented a very animated
scene. The supporters of Mr.. Earle had such
manifest lead at that hour that the opposing
vote distributors gradually abandoned the field.
The total vote was larger than was expected,

Mr.. CHARLES II. WooDELL, one of the two

estmable man. Mr.. MCDOWELL was born in
Newburyport, and, at the time of his death, was
AZ years and 10 months old. He learned the
printers art, in Newburyport, and worked in
printing offices, there and in Boston, until he
became a reporter and developed excellent
capacity for newspaper work. He worked very
successfully, in Boston, as journalist, until he
and Mr.. Doe purchased the Gazette, which
brought them to Worcester. He was treasurer
of the Massachusetts Editors and Publishers
Association, and, also, treasurer of the Franklin
typographical Society. Mr.. MCDOWELL was a
widower without family having buried his wife
