IN which the ward boundaries had been changed showed
how Senator Perry desired TO serve the people

TIE MEYDELssoHN GLEE CLUB


The Mendelssohn Glee Club gave pleasant
concert last night at Irving Hail. testimonial TO Miss
Anna Mehlig It is hardly necessary 20 say that the
audience was large brilliant and appreciatiye, and the
performance distinguished by that neatness and good
taste which have given this Club much celebrity.
While we have such a good male chorus as the Men
dessohn Glee Club and such a good mixed chorus as
the New-York Vocal Society, we need not be ashamed
Of the musical culture OF American anna
teurs. The programme last night contained
some Of the Clubs hest pieces-Mendelssohn's
The Cheerful Wanderer,' schumanns "The LotOs
Flower Rubinstein's "The Festival of L0ve,'
and somewhat remarkable and very pleasing song Of
Lszts over all the treeOps is rest :" and there were
two charming songs by A0t FOR soprano solo Miss Beeoe
and male chorus The Spirit of the Woods" and The
Birds Question" the former OF which was especially
well sung. Mr.. BerSner played two voloncelo solos,
accompanied the piano by Mr.. Caryl Florio. Miss
Mehig gave careful and refined Interpretation OF
BeetAovens Moonlight Sonata, an arrangement by
Tausg OF Strauss sor6es de Vienne,7 Lszt's first

SIR: So much has been said derogatory to

system Of warehouses the PIERS connected with each

IN Boston, Portland aud other cities The power TO take
10 piers limited the acquisition OF said piers by pr-
vate purchase right already enjoyed by every private
nzen Til project has been discussed for years, and
has lately been ably argued before legislative com
mttee by Mr Prosper NJ. WetInOre. There is no mo
