tors for the ensuing year. The committee Sc
lected last year to devise some plan for CONSOLE

ported that il IS desirable to make such consOi-
daton, and submitted the following plan: The

ed by single class Of stock, that stock to be APP

poets of the road are favorable for an increase
in the future. IL was voted to accept the re-
port, and that the directors he empowered to

SUPERIOR CoURT-CRuINAL TERM-SCUn-
DER, J.-londay, Nay 27.-"Dr." VIM. 5. Smith,
whose trial for the shooting affair in Auburn
occupied the attention of the court for the
last three days it was in session last week, and
was concluded Friday evening by the return of
sealed verdict after the court had adjourned,
is reported to have stolen quietly away, to the
astOnshment of his bondsmen. He was not at
court at the morning session TO hear the verdict
of the jury, and the officer in whose charge
capidS writ has been placed has been unable to
find him. 1t is claimed that a misunderstood
ing on the part of his bondsmen as to their re-
sponsibility led to too careless watch being
kept OF his movements.
The school authorities Of this city appeared at
the morning session TO ask an injunction from
the court against Corey and Duffy, who own
and operate boiler mandatory on School
street, near the Thomas street school house.
The petitioners claim that the noise made in
manufacturing boilers at this shop, has since
the first OF January, at various times, seriously
interrupted the school exercises in the building
on Thomas street, and that an injunction
against it is demanded by the extent of the an
nOyance to the teachers and scholars. The morn
ing session was principally occupied by the ex-
animation Of witnesses by District Attorney Rice
and +. p. Goulding, Esq, who appears for the
respondents. The case was continued at the
close of the morning session, as it was impOssi-
ole for Mr.. Gouding to appear in the after
noon. During the examination of witnesses
there was large number of people in the court
room who appeared to take great deal of inter
est in the case.
In the case of Patrick Moore, indicted for
selling liquor, the jury returned Il verdict of not
guilty.
Eseck b. Pitts, indicted for liquor selling, was
found guilty.
Bartholomew Cotter, of Millbury, on an in
dctment for selling liquor, was found not

MUsICAL.-The semi-weekly rchearsals of the
Worcester Choral Union are just now attracting
the attention of the public TO a large degree.
The society, numbering more than three hun
bred and fifty voices, brings together a larger
chorus than has ever sung in this city, except at
our annual festivals, aud being in qualify and
power fully up to the standard of the society
during its twenty-siX years of experience, Il
volume of tone is produced which overruns the
hall, OBTAINING interested parties who linger
near, and falling in Subducd yet pleasing
Cadences on the ear of delighted listeners far
away. The fact that the society intend giving
in response to requests public rehearsal OF
jubilee music with other selectiOns on the eve
ming of Tuesday, June 4th, will interest many.
We learn that there is a very general inquiry
among the members of the different choral or
CARNATIONS to know whether the members will
be admitted 10 concerts or other exercises in the
coliseum during the jubilee, in which they do
not take part as chorus. We agree with the
New Bedford Standard, that 10 consider each
singers card of admission as a season ticket to
the chorus seats during the continuance of the
Jubilee, as IN 1863, would only be doing the fair
thing by the singers, who devote much time and
money TO the cause, and without whom the sue
cess OF the affair is impossible.

an order of the city council adopted at the last
meeting, the mayor yesterday issued his procla-
nation requesting all citizens to refrain from
their usual avocations on Thursday next, and
devote a part of the day at least TO paying a
just tribute to the memories of those who

proclamation, which can be found in our adver-
Using columns, is good one, and it is 10 be
hoped that every one VINO remembers the heroic
bravery of the "boys in blue" and the glorious
cause in which they laid down their lives, will
heed the request OF the mayor, and DO their best
to secure a proper observance of the day. The
programme adopted by Post 10, G. A. E., is
published this morning. Ii will be seen that the
exercises win be much the same as on former
years. The post will assemble at an early hour
in the morning, and proceed III three
detachments to Hope, st. John, and Rural
cemeteries, there to pay their tribute OF love 10
the memories of their fallen comrades. In the
afternoon the members of the post will form in
procession and, after short march, proceed to
the city hall, where they will receive the mayor,
city government, aud invited guests, and escort
them to Mechanics hall. At quarter before four
O'Clock, he annual address will be delivered by
Colonel Homer b. Sprague, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
which wall close the public exercises of the day.
