THE MOzART.-ThG very large audience
at Association Hall had great musical
treat presented them in the forty-ninth
musicale OF the Mozart Association. Miss
Swain and her pupil, Miss Lyon, delighted
their audience with two solos each; and
the perfect storm Of applause which greeted
the former upon her spirited and graceful
rendition of Auber's Laughing Song"
necessitated an encore.
The Messrs. Peters gave an exquisite trio
by Mozart with such accuracy that we must
pronounce it par excellence the gem Of the
evening. The programme, which was all
admirably given, was as follows: Overture,
" Fra DiaYolo," Auber, orchestra. Solo
soprano, "Grand Air from LIE Position de
Lonjumean," Adam, Miss Mamie Lyon.
Trio, "Adagio in a Flat" Mozart-first
violin, Mr.. Julius Peters; violoncello, DR..
Peters; viola, Mr.. G. Peters. Solo soprano,
"Happy Birdlings Of the Forest" Wallace,
(fute obligato by Mr.. Julius Wildt,) Miss
Alice Swain. "Songs without Words"
Parlow, orchestra. Solo soprano, "Bonnie
Sweet Bessie, the Maid OF Dundee" Gil
bert, Miss Mamie Lyon. Solo :tenor.
H esitation," Abt, Mr.. NJ. j. Dimmock !;
Solo soprano, Laughing song," Auber.
Miss Alice Swain: Narraganset Waltzes,
Gungi, orchestra.

general inspection by the public, and
on Tuesday next it is designed to have a
pound-party for the benefit OF the institu-
ton, and it is hoped that its supply OF gro
ceries will be considerably increased. The
:: Retreat is not denominational, but is
managed by directory composed OF ladies
representing every religious creed in the
city. These ladies are deeply interested in
the success OF the charity, and believe, il
they are aided in their work, they can estab-
lish upon permanent footing an fnstitu-
ton that has long been needed in Rich
mond. The Board Of Directors is now en-
gagged in preparing Il petition to be present
ed to the City Council, asking moderate
appropriation to aid in the support OF the
I" Retreat" and to place it only upon the
same footing as the other charitable institu-
tions of the kind in the city.

THE NIoFFETT TBELL-PuNCH-INsTRucTlo

THE MOFFETT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF THE AuDIToR-THE PATENT-L1ouoR-
DEALERS AssocIATI0N.-Audi Taylor Is
engaged in preparing instructions to the
commissioners Of the revenue to explain
existing laws in relation TO licensing and
taxing liQuor-dealers. Dealers viii be re-
quired to take out licenses under the exist
ing law until the Mofett law can be put in
force. That will not be until supply of
the registers are obtained. The licenses
will be so worded rs to make them clearly
understood to mean that they are to end
and the dealer to become subject to the
Moftett law when the Auditor is ready to
put the latter in force. The impression
seems to be that wholesale dealers will have
to pay now $3.50 per annum, and no more.
The present opinion OF the Auditor is that
the law Of 1876, except where inconsistent
with that OF 1877, is IN force, and that the
wholesale dealers will have to continue to
pay the tax on sales.
So far as the Auditor is advised there is
no trouble about the register.
Messrs. Moffett and Deane have executed
paper giving the State free use OF the in
vention for the purpose OF collecting the
revenue. The patent has not yet been OBJ
tanned, as there was an informality In the
first application, which required the papers
to be renewed.
To-day the committee appointed by the
Richmond Liquor-Dcalers' Protective Asso-
citation will call upon the lquor-dealers OF
the city and vicinity for subscriptions to
defray the expenses OF testing the legality
OF the Motlett law.

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF CONyICTs.-
Yesterday, while gang Of conyicts were
engaged in loading barrels upon wagon
outside of the prison-w walls four, OF them
managed to make good their escape. They
fed through the garden and made their way
to Hollywood Cemetery, where they were
pursued by citizens, surrounded, and forced
to surrender. The citizens brought them
back to the penitentiary and delivered them
over to the officers, and they are now suffer-
ing for their misdirectcd efforts at liberty.
The captors of the convicts are entitled to a
handsome reward, and il there is no present
authority for making such payment the
Legislature will doubtless make fair provi-
sion for them.
