CITY NEWS.

Many dwellings are in course of construction
about the city.
John c. Bigelow of Paxton, has been commits
stoned by the governor and council justice of
peace for the county of Worcester.
A little two-year-old boy, with "spunk"
enough for several boys of his age, got lost yes
terday, and when taken to the police office TO
await the coming of his anxious mother, dis
played much Of the aforesaid "spunk" and
very little grief, as is usually the case with lost
children.
AT the proper hour for.serenades, last night,
our German singing society paid their compli-
ments to one of their members, Charles B. Fell
man, in the form of a serenade, by about twenty
male voices-a sort of musical inauguration OF
Mr.. FPS new home on Dix street-aiter which
the party was invited in to judge of the culinary
talents of Mrs. F. She was unanimousyypro-
nounced to be first class gastronomist.
A horse from whose feet the shoes have been
pulled that he may roam at large and recruit
himself in some suburban pasture, objects to
the change from stable food and warm lodgings
to nibbhng grass and sleeping out these cold
nights, and arrives at the barn in the city near
midnight regularly. The old nag is more than
half right; the nights are too cold to leave
a horse out that has just been taken from
warm stable.
The entertainment of the Peoples club last
evening was one of the best. The programme
began with song by Mr.. Parish, then Mr.
Rogers read an entertaining story, by L. f.
Hale, called "Daily Bread' Mr.. Starbird read
fo In bx,I
Wear" was finely read by Mr.. Pyne; Mrs
Hamilton sang song, and Duet with Mr.
Parish. Two very pleasant features of the en-.
tertainment were the solos on the mouth har.
monica and picolo, by Mr.. G. f. Gale. The hall
was crowded.
The cases of the Grafton bank robbers were
before Judge Williams of the municipal court
again yesterday, and were again postponed till
Monday. The other cases consisted in filming
Thomas Fleming SO and costs for assault and
battery, and five and costs for drunkenness ;
Lewis Wagner and James Keegan So and costs
for drunkenness, and John Sullivan So and
costs for drunkenness Patrick O'Grady, char2-
ed with peddling without license, was dis
charged. Patrick Curran was also fined $40 and
costs for keeping liquor.
The REMEMBERING of Main street, in which Mr..
VIM. G. Maynard is carrying out the wishes of
the city council, makes a radical change on
everybody's door. The new number is put on
the doors on a little slip of paper, which ex-
plains the requirements in regard to immedi-
ately replacing the old figures with new ones.
The special committee of the city council hav-
ing the matter in charge wish it understood
that the stringency of the ordinance will not be
unreasonably enforced; for it is plain to them
that the changes cannot all be made in day.
This new deal of figures puts the direc tory in
an unfortunate light
The members;ofEths Holy Cross reading room
have informed us that they have spared no pains
to furnish a really fine performance on this
evening. They have secured the services of
some of Boston's favorite singers, and the choir
of the Immaculate Conception under the able
management of DIR. j. H. Wilcox, in order to
make their concert great success. Dr. W. will
play on the organ his celebrated thunder
storm" piece, which those who have heard it
will surely go to hear again and those who have
not, ought to seize the opportunity of hearing a
composition so poetic in conception, admirably
rendered by great organist. This is but one
of the many attractions offered, and we may
safely say that those who attend the concert
will be pleased with themselves for doing so.
WORCESTER CHORAL UNIoN.-At a meeting
Of the board of government of the Worcester
Choral Union held last evening, it was unani-
mously voted that "while recognizing the friend
ly sympathy which doubtless dictates the high
praises of the entertainment given by the society
in Providence, and believing the principal OBJ
ject of the excursion to have been accom-
plished, the board feel that they cannot look
with Indifference upon the many solicitations
received from prominent citizens of Providence
for repetition of the entertainment" 1t was
therefore unanimously voted to repeat the con-
cert recently given in Providence retaining
some prominent features of the programme then
given, but introducing new selections, some of
them of a novel and interesting character. The
concert will probably occur on Wednesday
evening, May 31st. Members of the society will
be furnished transportation to Providence and
back without charge. Let there be grand raj
ly for the second excursion, with the ranks fuller
than on the previous trip. Every member is ex-
pected to be present at the rehearsal next Mon
day night
TEMPLE OF HoNoR.-A delegation of the
Worcester Temple of Honor visited Spencer
