ence.
CINCENArI, May l2,--Thc first matt
nee OF the Musical Festival occurred thi
afternoon and was greeted with another
tremendous audience, The first number
on the programme was the Overture from
Leonore, No, 2, This was rendered il
an exquisite manner, the pianissimo pass
ages being given with great dclicaGy and
feeling, This was followed by recita
tiVeand Aria, from the Creation "In Ma
tive WORTH" by William J. Winch, and
was finely sung, Next came the Aria
HPartO ma tu ben miO" by Mozart, with
clariOnette ObligatO. This was sung by
Miss Emma Cranch, and the clariOnetlr
obligatO was performed by II, Kayser
the audience maniiesting their apprCcia.
ton by hearty applause, nthe first part
OF tho afternoon performance tho Aria
from HLaSlella del NOFlP was, sung by
Mrs. II. M. Smith, with two flutes obligaI
to, and was received with the widest ap.
plause. The Hungarian Dances, Of
Brahms, by the orchestra, and the NOn,
vile Meditation Of GOunod, were played
by all the violins aud drew forth repeat-
ed plaudits. The selections from Tom.
haiser, comprising the overture apd-p
part Of the, third net, sung by FRANK
Remmertz, were given In such splendid
style that
THOMAS HIMSELF APPEARED DELIGHTED.
The Aria from MignOn, "Non ConOsci,
luel suola," by Miss Apnie Louise Cary,
was received with rounds oiapplauSe and
calls for n repetition, and the multitude
were with difficulty paciiicd, the artist
smilingly bowling her acknowledgement.
The remainder Of tie matinee was de-
voted to "William Tell, 2 and consisted Of
trio song by AleSsrs. BisOlloil, Rem
mertz and Whitney, and the always en-
jCyable overture to that opera. These
were given In fine style, and the vast au-
dlence dispersed with the best Of feeling
over the rich treat that had been given
them. EI ~
Tho evening entertainment consisted
entirely Of the 0ratorio Of ElijalL The
audience was, II anything larger than IN
the afternoon, and many were compelled
to satisfy themselves with standing room.
The first applause was given to Mr.,
Winch on his rendering OF the rcCitalive
and Aria aye people rend your hearts,"
which was sung most effectively by that
artist. The chorus following, "Yet doth
the Lord sec II not" was admirably sung,
the great body Of singers and orchestra
blending in delicious tones and lllipg the
vast auditorium with melody. Tic re-
citative and Aria between the widow and
Elijah, "What have Ito do with thee,
oh, man Of God" was sung by Miss Whin.

ly executed. The passage between Elijah
and the priest Of Baal was given with
great power and effect the chorus sing

the close OF the first part was given with
great power, and as Mr.. Thomas laid
aside his baton the applause that arose
was deafening, and mingled with hearty
braves. .

Members of Committee :

The MECkLENBERG DECLARATIONS
ON the 10Th of May, 1775, the citizens OF
Mecklenberg, North Carolina, adopted a
Declaration Of Independence. This was
a full month after the battle { f Lexington
had been fought, but in those days of a
slower communication, it is doubtful if
Any authentic news of that event had got
TO the North Carolina village. "The
Mecklenberg Declaration" was issued be-
fore the Inauguration of those scenes of
strs e and bloodshed with which the Brit
ish Grown sought to perpetuate its rule
over the colonies, and is remarkable as
showing the wide extent TO which dislike
of foreign rule, and disposition to resist
the oppression of the parent country, had
already spread. 1t was perhaps forunate
lor the colonies that the feeling which
found expression in Mecklenberg, was not
elsewhere carried to such ap extreme as
there. The United Colonies took more
pacific, and, we believe, q wiser course
They sought redress of grievances simply
and it was not until all hope Of peaceful
reconciliation was lost, that the final step
was taken. In this way the colonies OBJ
tanned sympathy in the Old World and
put an inspiration of ardor into the ranks
OF the Continentals, which proved of in.
calculabe value in determining the weak
q wavering to join their cause. The
Me leIbergers proposed to celebrate
their Centennial, and we presume it was
pade an occdsion worthy OF the Old North
State.

TIE ANTHONY BANQUET.-C OF
invitation were sent out to banquet to be
given at the Golden Eagle Hotel, in Sac
ramento, to Messrs. Anthony and Morrill,
of the late Sacramento Union. Tie Sac
ramento papers asserted before the ban
quet that it was given with view of Civ
ing prominence to Mr.. Anthony, as the
Independent candidate for Governor, but
is denied by the parties to the affair. Be
that rs it may, many, if not all who par
ticipated in the affair, were Of that party.
The reporters of the Sacramento papers
were not admitted, hence what transpired
ut the feast has not become n subject o
public notoriety, but tits claimed by those
present that the affair was more of per
sonal, than of political character. 4e
it seems odd that city which gave tht
proprietors Of the Union their "walkinG
papers," short time ago, should now
seek to show this token Of distinguished
appreciation"

Treasury RoBBED.-The robbery Of
the county troasury of Amador county
was singular affair. The county until
quite recently had employed watchman
TO guard the treasury. and the Ledger
complained that the Supervisors salaried
ia lor to guard an empty Jail, and a
watchman TO guard an empty treasury
The watchman was discharged and about
that time Sl2 2,000 school money, was re-
ccivcd from the State. The Treasurer's
story is that he had retired for the night,
leaving bis pants on a chair in the room
where he and his wife slept; that when
awakened about five o'clock on the next
morning he found his pants missing that
he dressed and going out doors found the
p,nts in the yard, with the key Of the Of
ic, missing. He went to the Court House
and found everything apparently as he
had left it, but on opening the safe, $751;
600 was found to be missing. As each of
the SAFE doors was secured by combina-
tion lock. the com binations Of which are,
OF course. known to but few, the Treasur-
er's story has very ctheria appearance.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-05-22

DEcLINEs.-The San Francisco Call is
our authority for saying that James An
thony declines the Independent nomina
ton for Governor. We never believed
that there was the slightest possibility OF
m Independent success in this State, but
of all men who have right to claim the
lead ,rship in that party, We believe An
tbony could have polled the highest vo te.
The Sacramento Union, while it existed,
welded an influence greater than any 9th
er power ever had whether that influence
WAS always properly used is not to the
purpo.e. There are yet many whose be-
lief in its integrity and freedom from self
ishness in its fight against the railroad, is
mistaken, who would delight at this OPP
portunity Of giving expression to this
feeling by supporting him for the highest
Office in the gift of tho people of this State.
With the declination of Mr.. Anthony the
Dolly Vardens will cut but slim figure
in the State canvass.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-05-22

SHEPARDsoN.- The Shepardson case
has boon an eyesore to the people Of our
neighboring county, Shasta, and it is not
yet definitely settled, We see by the
Sacramento Record Union of last Tues
day that the Supreme Court has granted
Shepardson a pew trial on the ground that
the court beow erred in refusing instrLc-
tions to the jury that evidence of former
g 'od character must be taken into consd-
GRAFTON. SINCE the last trial, we are in
formed that Lynch, the stage driver at the
tims of the robbery, has died, which will
remove one of the chief witnesses against
Shepardson. The case has already cost
Shasta county between twenty and thirty
thousand dollars and we hear that the Ge-
fense will probably ask change of venue
TO have the case tried in some other coun-
" than Shasta perhaps our own.

JUMPED FROM A BRIDGE.-J. II. Street
citizen of Tehama, started to walk to
Red Bluff on the railroad track and being
somewhat deaf, started across the bridge,
without having heard the approaching
train. When about midway across, he
saw the headlight of the locomotive, and
in his fright jumped off the trestlc work
where it was about 40 feet high. He was
not found till the next morning, when it
was discovered that both arms were brok-
en-, one in two places. The thigh was also
broken. AS Mr.. Street is pretty vol adj
vanced in years, his recovery from his
manifold injuries may be considered as
doubtful.

THE CHRoNICLE's " SUGGEsTIoN.-
The number of ex-Confederates who
stand elected TO the Forty Fourth Con-
gress now amounts to eighty-six, Georgia
having chosen one more to fill a vacancy
in the Ninth Congressional District
Now that jeff Davis has made such n
speech in which he processes affection for
"the old flag" we do not see why he
should not become n candidate for the
Presidency, or at least be sent to the Sem
ate. The war is over and the bloody
chasm" seems to be pretty well bridged
at last the election Of JEFF as chief exec
utive of our " reunited country" would
be graceful way of. showing that the
animosities are all buried and that there's
nothing mean about the North.

The SEcREr.-Those who prize beautiful
head of bair land we know our lady friends all
do will thank us for few words on the inval-
liable qualities of Ayers Hair Vigor as dress
ing. In our own case it heals a humor, keeps
the head free from dandruff and scurf, stops
the tendency of our hair 10 fall, and heightens
its beauty A slight touching with it removes
the coarse and dry appearance which neglected
hair puts on, imparts a rich gloss, and makes
us prsentabe in the most fashionable com
pany. Such rare qualifications presented IN d
single preparation create for it an enduring
value but to to add to these the faculty OF re-,
storing to gray locks their youthful color, and
maintaining our good looks with 50 small an
expenditure of time and attention, ana you
stamp it prime tavorite with the public, and
ensure its permanent and enduring popularity.

REyIsER,-Mr. Lick has revised bis
deed Of gift and if he does not change bis
mind again, and make additional altera-
tions, he has made an impairment in the
bcstowal of his benefactions. The amount
given to ornament the grounds of the State
Capitol and for the statue Of the author Of
the Star Spangled Banner,p are cut
down and in lieu of the $25, 900 per annup
jlie interest intbe estate, he reserved to
himself $500, 900. The suit commenced
by the Trustees TO relieve themselves Of

Too BAD.-Chief Justice Mexican, OF
Utah, decided rhat Brigham should pay
Ann Eliza (No. 19 $4,000 alimony.-
And now Lowe, McKean's successor, de-
cides she is not Brigham's wife at all and
therefore not entitled to alimony. In a
multitude of counselors there may be safe
ty, but doubtless Ann Eliza thinks there is
not always wisdom. They most certainly
played it slow down" on her.

The growth and structure of the human hair

THE growth and structure ofthe human hair
is very plainly set forth in pamphlet pub
lished by X. P. Hall & Co., Nashua, N. H.,
proprietors of Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Renewer, for gratuitous distribution. The
deservediy high reputation Of their prepara-
tion has wholly been gained by its merits
Being free from oil and alcohol, it has healthy
action on the scalp, restores gray hair 10 It's
natural color without dyeing it, cures, itching
and will thicken up the thin locks. Such are
the benefits which are conferred upon the con
sumer. Noone should neglect to give 1t a trial.

THE Post thinks the trouble in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania strike Of capital
against labor, instead Of labor striking
against capital, basing its conclusions on
the fact that the strike is caused by min
crs asking only seven cents more per ton to
mine the coal than the mine owners arc
willing to pay. But how about this thing
Of forcing other men to strike, when it is
only by their labor that they can procure
bread for their families? ? Does the Post
justify that feature of the strike also?
