land, when "Auld Lang Syne' was sung. In
the programme it was stated in parenthesis
that "the audience will obige by singing the
chorus" The audience did join at the end of
the first verse, drowning Mr.. Reeves and his
choristers, and falling nearly two bars behind.
Mr.. Reeves looked quite bewildered, turned to
the choristers and then addressed the audience
in the following terms: Ladies and gentle
men-There must be some mistake here. If
the audience has been requested to join in the
chorus, il was unknown to me- L have gen.
tlemen here to sing the chorus and pray the

after allowed to go on unassisted by the audi

How PennsyIvania has been swindIed.

!. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21-The committee ap
pointed by the Pennsylvania House of Repre-
sentatives to investigate the affairs of the treas
ury, have agreed upon report stating that
their investigations have developed the follow
ing facts: That from 1864 to 1874 there appears
to be yearly overcharge on the interest &C.
count On the public debt, the different treasur.
ers taking credit for paying more interest than
the state debt bore. The grand aggregate thus
unlawiuly taken from the state treasury in the
eleven years would aggregate the enormous
sum of 81, 123. 301.65
Second, that from 1870 to 1874 there al pears
to have been an excess of premiums charged
to pay the interest on gold bearing bonds
amounting to 1921 ,427.95.
Many other fraudulent transactions come un-
der the notice of the committee, but those here
mentioned are the most important. On refer
ring to the action of the ex-treasurers in refus
ing to appear before the committee, the report
says: Certainly it is fair to assume that all the
charges made are true as the treasurers do not
appear when lawfully subpenaed to explain or
