THE BENEFIT CONCERT all that can
be learned the concert to be given tomorrow
evening for the benefit Of the Womans Tenn
perance Society is to be very enjoyable affair,
and should receive generous patronage. The
Boston Transcript, which is acknowledged au-
tholity in musical matters, thus speaks of Mrs.
Gates, who appears as vocalist on this occasion
At the concert given by the Chelsea Choral
Society the principal soloist was Mrs. G. l..
Gates. She showed at once that she is no or.
dinary singer, but possesses musical talent for
all the more refined phases of singing, and has
beautiful soprano voice OF fine promise. The
audience was enthusiastic over her, both in the
cavatina of Rossini and in response to the en-
core which she sang in requisite style, the song
"She wears rose In her hair" and also in the
motel by Mendelssohn, "Hear my prayer"
Her voice is one of great purity, and the lady 8
execution of broUurG is already OF remarkable
evenness, ease and fuency. She is certainly in
delicacy of style and chaste phrasing already
far ahead of many concert singers of greater
celebrity

These figures show an increase in expenses to
the amount of $5544, whereas there should be
nearly the same decrease from 1872 to 1876
The new treasurer thinks that this increase was
caused by loose management. While it was
costing this company about $50 per month to
board their crew, other steamers running here
were boarding their men for $40, which is quite
difference. Now that the management of the
line has been changed it is sure to show differ
ent figures at the next annual meeting 1t is
rumored that Mr. Cushing, the popular clerk
OF the City of Richmond, is to be chosen gene
raj agent of the line in this city. A more cap
able gentleman for the position 1t would be
hard to find.

Arresl of a Clever Swindler.

On the 18th of last November it will be re-
membered thatsa man tried to play a shap game
at the City Hotel by getting $40 in small bills
and pretending to give ten dollar note in ex-
change. He was trapped by the clerk, Mr..
Carpenter, but claiming it was mistake, he
was allowed to depart. He tried similar
game at the office of the Portland Packing Co.
and was more successful, receiving 500 bill.
He then went to the Preble House but was un-
successful there.
Yesterday morning fine looking man of
medium hight and having an air of business
about him, entered the new quarters of the
Portland Packing Co. in Browns sugar house
and asked to get 500 for two tens The book.
keeper, Mr.. Adams, recognized the man at
once as the man who had visited the counting
room in November He advised Mr.. Baxter,
who followed the stranger until he met officer
Miles; who arrested the chap and took him to
the station. He claimed to be patent right
peddler," named Rice, and said he never was
at the City Hotel He admitted his visit to
the Portland Packing Co. IS Office in November,
but said he found the 800 in his overcoat pocket
when on the cars, too late to rectfy the mis-
office on subsequent visits to Portland. Mr..
Carpenter of the City Hotel identified him, and
Marshal Bridges felt confident he was the same
man who swindled Rev. W. NJ Sterling of the
Congress street Methodist church on patent.
The man was locked up, but subsequently con-
fessed his guilt to the Marshal.
In conversation with our reporter last even
ing he gave the name of William Smith and
said he belonged in New York. He said that bad
company had unsettled him and now this was
the only way he knew of to get living for his
family. He intimated that Smith was not his
right name, but he adopted it to keep his sins
from the ears of his family, who was most re-
specially related. He said he did not intend to
make any defence whatever. He does not
look the least bit like sharper, but be is.
1t was intimated last evening that he was
wanted in another state for a similar offence.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT YORK LEDGE.-An-
other marine accident occurred at York Ledge
yesterday morning. The bark Charles r.
Lewis Capt Henry w. Race, was on her way
from Boston to this port in ballast, in tow of
the tug Elsie of Boston, when in passing York
Ledge at clock in the morning the tug be-
ing low in the water struck the Ledge and
stopped. The bark was moving through the
water quite fast and struck the tug a heavy
blow, smashing it and causing it to fill and
sink at once. The bark struck the Ledge, but
being light came off but little injured The
men on the tug were taken into the bark which
sailed into this harbor in the afternoon. She

amined to ascertain the extent of her injur-
les.

CoNsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NoTIcE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought support the preensons of
any other medicine. See DIR. Scheuck's Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health after being pronounced incurable by physi-
clans of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, these evidences will
will show; but the is often promoted by the en-
poyment of two other remedies which DR.. Schenck
provides for the purpose These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use of these medicines, according to
directions, DIR. Schenck certies that most any case
of Consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal Office
Cor, Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Mon
day, where all letters for advice must be addressed
