IHE0DORE THOMAS CONCERTS.-In
announcing the concerts of Mr.. Thomas.
on January 2Gth and 9th. We wish to cali
attention to the fact that the grand orches-
ira, selected from the best and most prom
inent musicians in this country and Europe,
has been, during the previous season. thc
! argeSt which has ever undertaken concert
tour.
The success and universal appreciation
with which this organization has been re-
celved throughout the country, has led Mr..
1homas to increase the proportions of the
orchestra and bring 1t to still greater de-
gree OF perfection. This increase of the or
cheStra resulted naturally from the vast re-
PeI0He, embracing every branch of music,
from the symphony down to the dance
form. Mr.. Thomas does not adhere to one
style OF music; his aim is to pay tribute to
all winch Is good, whether of the old or
new schools, and thus he has gained the
nigh and unique position of being the creator
and conductor Of the best and most versa
tile orchestra in the world.
The merits of this orchestra have been
acknowledged not only by the American
puoLic, winch IS always ready to recognize
thc services OF those who strive for the ad-
Vancemcnt OF art, but also in Europe. and
the foreign press often holds it up as an ex-
ample worthy of imitation for the variety
and progressiveness of the programmes.
The orchestra, as now organized, consists
OF twenty violns, led by Nj. b. Listemann,
flTe volaS, one corno anglais, four volon-
ccelloSS, two clalionettes, four double basscs.
two basSoons, one harp, four french horns,
one plccolo. two trumpcts, two flutes,
three trombones, two oboes, one tuba, kct-
tie drums, side drum, bass drum, &c,
In addition to the great orchestra, we are
to have Miss Marie Krebs, the distinguished
Pianist.

a MERITORIOUS ENTERPRISE.-Cap-
tain Benedict, of this city, as our readers
have been informed, has reopcncd the old
Virginia Tea and Coffee House, corner of
Main and Eighth streets. We have also
stated that Captain b. is backed by ample
New York capital and influence, and will,
with his fine facilities, aim to do a large
jobbing and retail trade in all the staple
groceries. He will sell to the trade on
even more favorable terms than New York
Philadelphia, or Baltimore houses. His
stock is large and complete, and will be
constantly rccupcrated from the largest and
best imported stocks to be found in New
York. In addition to this branch of Cap
tain Benediet's house, he will make spc-
clality Of the various brands Of coffee, tea,
spices, &c. and to enable him to supply
the demand, both wholesale and retail, he
has, at considerable expense, erected the
necessary machinery for the roasting and
grinding Of coffee, and the preparation of
spices for immediate use. The machinery
IS OF the most approved kind, and was
mainly manufactured in this city. 1t will
be put in operation next week. The cs-
tablishment is neatly and conveniently ar
ranged throughout, and prepared to trans
act large business, which we have no
doubt will be attracted to it. The trade
and our citizens generally are invited to
call upon Captain Benedict and learn the
accommodating terms which he offers to

state Convention.

We learn that an early meeting of the
Executive Committee has been called by
the Chairman, Gen. Robert Lowry, with
view to the assembling of State Con
vention of the opposers Of Radicalism.
This Convention win doubtless appoint
delegates to the National Convention
which will meet at Baltimore on the 9Th,
and select an Electoral ticket 1t will
also appoint a permanent Executive
Committee. But little time will be left
for the preliminary proceedings before
the Convention of the 9th Of July, and
we would advise the people in the seve-
raj counties to address themselves at
once to the business Of organization
and if they are not in favor Of dividing
the opposition to the Grant Administra-
tion, which has put the South under
carpet-bag rule, and is responsible for
the wholesale plumber of her suffering
people, and which proposes to continue
these wrongs-let them say so in their
primary meetings.

The last monthly report on the pro
gress of scientific farming on the Ogden
Farm, near Newport, X. l., under the
direction of Col Geo. 4. Warning, closes
with the following paragraph, as printed
in the American Agriculturist;--
In general farm matters there Is no
thing of especial interest TO report. We
jog along very much as usual, we'll salts
fed of the benefit of soiling, and not
especially with our results in any respect
save that, in spite of thorough cultivation
and heavy manuring, we still feel the i'll
effect of the deep blowing of about ten
acres of the farm in the Autumn of 1868.
For ordinary crops it. does very well,
probably much better because of the deep
blowing, but about two acres of carrots
planted upon it will bring a very insig-
nifcant result, because of the injurious
effect of the upturned clay on the delicate
and slow-growing seedlings.

CLINTON, Miss, April p, 1872.
There is life in the old land yet %
Amid the social apathy, political supine-
ness and dearth of public spirit, that seem
TO characterize the denizens of the town OF
Clinton and vicinity, small but noble
band Of Odd Fellows resolved to celebrate
the 53d anniversary of their order on the
18th ultimo. Though there was strong and
persistent opposition To the proposed dem
onstation on the part OF the ''penny wise
and pound foolish in matters Of time and
money. yet through the indomitable perse-
verance Of some of the members, especially
I. c. England, L. J.. Charles and d. w. Rice,
the movement was pushed forward to a
degree of success that reminded the guests
of the good old ante bellum times Yes,
''there is lite in the old land yet" and we
are loudly called on to cease our vain
croakings, to arouse ourselves from our
chronic lethargy, and look not behind us,
but move firmly toward in the path of duty
which lies open before us.

the Jackson Ba=d, the procession proceeded
to the speaking ground, and Marshal W. H..

having taken their seats upon the platform,
prayer was offered by Rev. J. w. San

The Marshal then introduced j. w. SAM
ford, who in an eloquent and truth full
manner reviewed the origin and history of
Odd Fellowship from the period when the
first Lodge was instituted in the mother
country TO its spread in this country, and
after detailing in a forcible manner the
trials and prosecutions through which the
Order has passed the suspicion and
fear which il had eAgendered In the breasts
ofthe Ignorant and timid; he pictured in
the most vivid manner its status throughout

the strength of the bonds of the Brother
hood. their devotion to each other the
suffering they had Aleviated and the hap
piness they had conferred upon their fellow
creatures.
Then w. III. Montgomery, was introduced
who proceeded in the most forcible manner
to inform the audience that in taking upon
ourself the obligation of an Odd Fellow no
man was required to change his relations.

Gentle of all denominations, the King. the
millionaire, and the daily laborer stood
upon the same footing and were equally
welcome into its portals. Indeed even those
who by close intimacy as Odd Fellows and
friends have learned to regard him as a
young man of ability, were agreeably
surprised at the force and beauty OF his re-
marks. As Odd Fellows and citizen they
are proud of these two gentlemen and
brothers. They furnished ~the feast Of
reason and flow of soul" to the vast assem-
blage while the daughters of Rebekah
provided the more substantial necessaries
and luxuries of life.
We were greatly pleased to hear all ex-
press their pleasure in the highest terms,
and see them leave their position at the
festive board without an occurrence t.
mar the enjoyment of the occasion.

to finish this portion of the road within
twelve months, on condition that sub
scriptions of $3.50, 900 to stock are raised
by those interested in the project, and
and paid in by the expiration Of that
time.
There is no circumlocHtion nor barney
about the proposition. Everybody knows
that there is no fooling about Ed. Rich

never speaks until he reads his title clear,
and when he does speak he means what
he says. The question is narrowed down
to the simple one of dollars and cents.
If the people interested will raise the
money, the question as to the route is
definitely settled, and Yazoo City and

Hand Organ,s Music.

The Washington Chronicle, sort OF
hand organ of the Administration says
that the Cincinnati nominations are ''the
fitting closing work of an assembly
convened for the real, if not acknowl-
edged, purpose of aiming a blow at the
Republican party" The Republican
party must have become very corrupt
and unworthy, if it now receives its
deadliest elbow" from its original build
ers. 1t is against the abuses and usur-
pations of the present Administration
into whose control the organization of
that party has fallen, that the movement
is made.
The organ says further that ''thele
sis certainly great deal of the humo-
''rous in the nomination of Greeley and
Brown by the Liberals, and especi-
s'ally if we consider that action as inten-
''ded to capture the Democratic party,
'but we are by no means inclined to
regard it as quite the farce which
''some of our Republican contemporaries
''write it down." 1t will PROFESSIONALLY
prove tragedy to the thieves party
before the election is over.

How 40 Protect Apple Trees.

To protect apple trees against the
ravages of the round-headed borer, see 10
it before transplanting your trees that
there are no borers nor eggs left on them.
Wrap at once-even before setting the
trees-from the roots upward some 10
inches in height any old or new woollen
goods or telling; rubber felting would be
preferred; the more sulphurous the bet
ter. Tie at the top with woollen Irvine.
Let the wrapping be well saturated with
empyreuma (burned pork grease). Re
move the bandages once year, and give
the so protested parts brisk brushing.
Attend TO your trees in this way until
they are ten years old or more, and you
will be amply remunerated for all your
trouble.
The empyreuma is also offensive to the
rabbit. w. III. NJ,

."No man of course, expects his wife 70

may render considerable assistance to her
husband by devoting a PORTION OF her
time TO the superintendence Of garden
work. 1t is Glmost impossible for man

cultivated lady, living within less than
thirty five miles of Mobile, who last year,
while her husband was engaged in bust

intended little orchard and garden, 80
