"The programme at each performance
was of the highest ard most varied charac-
ter, and was rendered throughout in a
manner delightfully."- surprising. The con-
certed pieces, were simply perfect and dis
played in the performers talent of no ordi
nary character, while the beauty of the
several voices was such as we have never
before heard squalled."

bert Anderson, thirteen or fourteen years

HAVE THE Docs EATEN ALL THE
SHEEP Our butcher informed us this
morning that there was not a pound Of
mutton on sale in either of the markets Of
the city. The inquiry is thus forced upon
US, Have the dogs eaten all the sheep? Our
