Miss Juliet Henderson, the new and promis-
ing dramatic soprano, is a native of this city,
being the only daughter Off. A. Henderson,
Esq, who lives on Neal street. Until five
years since she made no pretensisns to sing
ing. On trial at that time her voice proved to
be of superior quality, and she at once entered
upon its cultivation under charge of our well
known and favorlte music teachers, Mr. and
Mrs. W. III. bennett. In the spring of 1874
she went to Italy, where for three years she has
studied with the best masters, who speak in the
highest terms of her voica and musical talent.
Since her return few months ago she has
sung but little. She gave few concerts In
New York, singing in Steinway Hall and in
Gilmore's concerts. Musical critics who heard
her there speak strongly in praise of her voice,
being reported to have pronounced it the best
soprano in America. Her native city will have
the opportunity to give her aaftting reception
tomorrow evening.
Sgnor Leoni the favorite New York tenor,
who is to assist in this concert has but recently
returped from bis European studies He has
been heard here by some of our best Judges of
music and is pronounced magnificent in voice
and execution, besides having very pleasing
countenance.
Mr.. Charles H. Mcclellan, the basso, Mrs.
Goudv, the contralto, and our own Kotzschmar,
the pianist, are very well known and need no
words of introduction. The concert promises
to be very interesting and is likely to draw
large audience,

Malloy was among the number and in an intoxicated
condition. Murray asked him what be broke into a
certain building of his for that forenoon. Malloy
said he did not, and the man who said so was liar
Murray told him not to repeat it. Malloy repeated
the assertion, accompanying it with some profanity
Murray thereupon knocked him down, choked and
kicked him and stamped upon his chest with his
boot heel.
Murray denied that he choked or kicked him or
stamped upon him, and claimed that he acted in
selfdefense; that Malloy struck him first, and that
after knocking him down he only placed his foot up
on him to prevent his getting up.
The attending physician testified to finding a
swelling on the side Of Malloys head the next day
and four distinct prints OF foot heel upon his chest

Two COnUIa5nts.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Sometimes the community
needs awakening from inattention about GER
tain trifing or troublesome matters, and it be-
comes necessary to arouse the public mi1d to
Reconsideration of such things. Matters most
always have to come to focus before any ac-
seen. Hence there may be many ways in
which the old saying may be applied, that the
darkest hour is just before day. 1t seems that
now it is about time to turn attention toward
dogs and swill gatherers. Either capture the
dogs or make the owners keep them in nights
and stop boys strewing swil along the streets
in baskets and leaky carts. There is no need
of referring TO other things that are likely to
result from an unrestrained privilege in this
latter direction.

the former is rot sufficient to pay the hoard
bill. Again the horse is worth but about $40,
and to sell him, even if the society owned him,
would pay but third of the bill. Within the
