Mr.. PEAsE's CONCERT.

Mr. A. II. Pease showed specimens of his
workmanship last night at Sienway Hall, under favor
able conditions, for he had good audience. good
sipcers and the Thomas orchestra. His skill a
pianist was illustrated in the LSz, Concerto IN fiat,
transcription by himself Of the POacca in "Mgnon,"
and all arrangement Of Home, Sweet Home" and
Tho Ola Folks at Home" and he had promised also

account OF the sickness Of Mr S b. Mills. Mr. Pease

All May Read.

The public library, at Savannah, con-
tains q large collection of historical, re-
ligious, poetical. romantic and miscel-
lancous books, the perusal OF any one
of which is intrinsicaliy worth to the
reader two dollars-the amount of an
annual subscription, and when the fact
is taken into consideration, that a mem
Der can obtain thirty OIL forty of these
books in the course of a year, it is very
plain that two dollars could not be bet
ter inyested by any M who desires to
read. Any person living within six or
eight miles of the city a enjoy the
benefits of this library by applying to
a member of the Board of Directors, or
TO the Librarian, II. A. Howard.

RobberieS.

On Monday, a singular daylight rob
berry was committed at the Office o.
/ Waterman & Nash. Mr.. Hale, III
| charge of the office, was absent from
the Office about five minutes, the door
of the safe being closed but not locked,
the door of the Office being locked,
but one of the windows raised. Upon
returning to the Office, Mr.. Hale found
all the ready money in the safe missing
some seventy-five dollars-and no.
body in sight.
On the same night the pocket-book
of Mr.. w. S. Wells was ritled of its
contents (over S100), ut the residence
of Mr.. John Conner. The window of
his sleeping apartment was open, and
the thief or thieves took the money,
leaving the pocket-book and papers "
inc outside the window.
On the same evening they entered Mr..
Joseph Austin's cellar, where they sa-
tiated their appetite with a lunch, and
then went up stairs, where they found
but a couple of dollars.
No clue to any of the thieves has been
found. 1t is supposed they accompany
the circus on its travels.
