AUBURN SINGING School CoNCERT.-This con-
cert, under the direction of Prof. Foster, who
has for some time past been instructing large
class of the youth of Auburn in the cultivation
Of their vocal organs, came off at Music Hall, as
per previous announcement, on last Tuesday
evening. At about O'Clock the people began
to gether in, and by half past g. the house was
crowded there being not less than three hum
dred present. The exercises opened with music
by the Auburn Brass Band following this live
ly chorus was sung, in which not less than sew
euty children took part Single pieces, duets,
tros, ,quartetes and concert singing, interspersed
with instrumental music, declamations and tab
laux made up the programme; and, considering
the time for preparation and the medley of the
part cipants, the rendition WAS in most parts
good. The instrumental music first-class;
aud much of the singing was excellent. The en-
tertainment was concluded with song from a
Live Yankee" which met with such thunder
ing appliance that at times the voice of the sing
er was inaudible and he, when about half way
through, being unable to stand the Wild bursts
OF applause longer, modestly retired. The con-
cert was given for the purpose of raising funds
to maintain singing school free to all the chill
dron in town, and as the receipts, which amount
cd to S97, exceeded the expectations Of the most
sanguine we may expect our children to be in
st1ucted in the cultivation Of their voices for the
next quarter, without any further cost. The OBJ
iect being n charitable one, it met with much as
sistance from many of the town people particu-
larly from Mrs. Reamer, who worked diligently

I'M A DILEMMA.

Anew phase Of the old doctrine OF
State rights, and contest between Fed
eral and State Jurisdiction has arisen
In Massachusetts,. Under the temper
ance laws Of that State the manufac.
turers Of fermented liquors have been
arrested and fined and their liquors
seized and c~ontiscsted. Previous to
this seizure and c~onfiscation the United
States Government had demanded and
received a heavy tax upon their liquors
under section 81, Of the Internal Rev.
enue laws. Since this action by the
authorities Of Massachusetts, a large
number Of letters have been written to
the Interual Revenue Department by
the brewers, inqulrlng why. II there Is
no Federal authority to protect them
after they have complied with the U.
i. Revenue laws. and II the Govern
msnt recognizes the right Of q State to
seize this property. they are com.
PEELED to pay taxes on the manutac-
ture of an unlawful article. They de-
mand that all taxes paid 10 the FEEDER
al authorities, upon liquors seized and
destroyed by State authority, be re-
funded. or that the United States pro-
tect a bu,ines, upon which 1t COLLECTS
q tax. The Internal Revenue Depart.
ment Is In a dilemma, for the claim Of
the brewers Il manlfestly just. The
collection of = license or tax BY
any Government, whether National.
State or municipal. Is a recognition Of
the right to possess or manufacture the
article so taxed or licensed, and tho
legal possession Of an article taxed, or
the prosecution Of a licensed pursuit,
carries with It the right to demand pro-
lection OF the power which leYles and
collects the tax or license levied. In
this case,a State government has passed
laws forhiddlug the possession or man.
utacture OF fermented liquors, and the
General Government, which Is higher
than the State government OF Nassa-
chusetts. has demanded and collected
license upon both an article and a busi-
ness which the State government has
declared unlawful, and by so doing has
las Is claimed ny the brewersl pledged
itself to protect both the article taxed
and the business licensed. 1t will thus
BE- Been that a conflict Of authority
arises which, under present laws. sorely
puzzles the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, aud the solution Of which must
be deferred till the meeting Of Con-
gress next Winter. The old question
Of State Rights will not be settled sat
isfac,orily In this generation.

sheep Eating Their wool.

Instances of sheep eating their wool
are quite common, especially during
the latter part Of the winter and the
early part OF spring. Some have
thought the cause resulted from the
presence Of small parasites-as minute
as the red spider of some towering
plants. which produce irritation, and
to allay this the sheep acquires the hab-
It of biting its own skin, and thereby
eating its own wool. II is generally
believed, however. that the habit is
analogous to that of hens eating their
own feathers, and of the abnormal ap-
elite of cows for old bones, woolen
rags, etc., and is caused by an exhaus-
ton of the phosphate in the soil. Old
pastures and fields that have been long
cropped, are deficient in these elements
and there is want of them by the.
animals. AS preventative, mix a
small quantity of bone meal with corn
meal, and give them an occasional
feed. Sulphur has also been found to
be preventative of the habit, and
many farmers keep their stock con-
stantly supplied with it. II no doubt
assists in giving healthy tone to the
system.
