THE FEAST LAST EvENING-A WELL At
,.. TENDED AND SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.
The fear of Brother Johnston of the A
q. Church, that they would not be able to
meet the issue, seemed certainly a well
founded one, for although all the members
did not attend, the number who did, sue.
ceeded in making such havoc with the really
handsome supper, that at the conclusion Of
the repast, there was little remaining upon
the table. The only representative Of the
press present was Mr.. Vernon, of the Re-
publican, who did ample justiceto the re-
past, and pronounced everything excellent.
President Lichtenstein presided at the
head Of the board, and City Treasurer Vim
cent evidently enjoyed the feast as much as
though it had been Golden Club banquet.
The affair passed off very happily to all con
cerned, and Its attendance by Council re-
fected nearly as much credit upon that
body, as is attached to the members of
Brothers Johustop's church in preparing
so munificent banquet. If the members
are not confined to their beds, for the next
week, from indigestion and its sanitary ef-
fccts, Council at its next meeting will prob
ably vo1e their colored constituents most
excellent caterers and give the church and
its members vote of thanks.

A PLEASANT REUNION.

On Wednesday, the Goth inst. there was
at the residence of Ex-Governor VIM. Il.
Ross, near seaford, reunion of those
voters of Seaford and vicinity who sup
ported the Ex-Governor, when he was
elected in November, 1850. Notwithstand-
ing the inclemency Of the weather, which
prevented many of the more aged and in.
firm from turning out, there was a goodly
assemblage present: A botntiful dinner
was served at three tables in two rooms, at
which the usual toasts were drank and
speeches made. The gathering was not po
litical, as all political parties were repre-
sented. Everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves before separating, which they did at
an early hour in the morning.

Only one day yet remains for persons to
secure their seats for the lecture, The
Problem of Life,"to be delivered by Mr.
Tilton in the Grand Opera House to-mor
row evening. This lecture is highly spoken
OF by the press, and has been heard by
crowded houses wherever delivered. In
speaking of it, the Syracuse Courier
says:
1T was the most eloquent, scholarly and
erudite lecture ever delivered in this city
It was literary treat, such as it seldom
falls to the lot of mortals to enjoy. Many
who came through curiosity, perhaps 10
ccnsure, remained to praise. spell-bound
by the grand ideas and truths which fell 60
thick and fast frem the orators lips.

The sightIess wonder, is truly q remark
able phenomenon, one Of Natures practical
jokes on humanity. He has musical genius
enough for regiment, and must have been
formed out Of nothing but harmonic dust.
His whole body, every nerve and muscle,
seems instinct with harmony. The musical
sounds that enter his ears seem to imprint
themselves on his brain as likeness is i'm
printed on the photographers plate, and
he reproduces them at will, Some parts Of
Blind Toms performances are very laugh
ablei and those who don't appreciate the
music get their moneys worth of fun. This

CRIMINAL RECORD,

, BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 3O.-The Com
merciaP editorially says with exceeding re-
luctancy we give currency to the report
that Mr.. Joseph Bork, City Treasurer, is a
defaulter to large amount and has fled
from the city. We have only too much
reason to fear that the. fasts justify the
worst of the rumOrs and reports. Our in.
formation was mainly obtained from Mr..
Rork's business partner, Mr.. Jas. Lyon and
another member of the tirm, and VIC were
given to understand by these gentlemen that
the report was true. Mr.. Lyon stated that
he spoke to Mr.. Bork short time since as
to the condition of affairs in the City Trea-
sury, intimating his suspicious that all was
not right. Mr.. Bork tacitly admitted the
fact, although no definite Information
is obtainable as to the amount drawn
from the City Treasury, it Is said to be over
$3.50, 900. Mr. Bork was in the city until
last evening, when he told Mr.. Lyon that
he was going to New York, to raise money,
His defalcation causes much excitement in
business circles among politicians here.
CHICAGO, Dec. sO.-The Government off,
cials are busy testing the property found
in the captured distilleries, and will not
complete the task before tomorrow It is
estimated that the number Of gallons Of
whiskey seized amount to Is, $50, on which
a tax Of $13,734 is due the Government,
The value Of ths distileries seized Isl
at Sl6S, 900, and the back taxes due from
them are figured at $7l5,OO0. Dickinson,
Abel & Co. alone are supposed, on the
strength of evidence how In hand, to owe
$3.50, 900 on crooked whiskey; Chicago Al
cohol Works, slSs,OcO; Black Hawk distil-
lery, $4,000, and other establishments
from $25, 900 to 500, 900 each. Information
will be formally filed tomorrow against all
distiilers :whose property has been seized
aid those who can will be obliged to fur
nish bonds The exact nature of the
charges against each distiller is not yet
developed, but is quite certain the cases are
similar to those of last May, and the offence
consists in using the same stamps twice;
using india rubber packages, and failure
to use an adequate number of stamps.
There is little evidence to support the theory
that the seizures are the result of any com
promise with the Government, and the dis
tillers do not seem to take that view of the
case, as they are very despondent.
