ADuLTERATED CANDIEs.-During the past few
years the trade in confectionery has greatly in
creased throughout the country; and certain parties
have taken occasion to manufacture cheap imta-
ton Of this article which has been retailed through
out the country at far less than the price of the
sugar which enters into the composition of hon
est candy. OF course this candy is aduterated,
| and is adulterated with poisonous compounds,
which endanger the health of all who partake Of
it, 1t is with pleasure therefore that we notice
that several Boston manuiacturers--ofw whose make
many of our readers have doubtless partaken-
have been arrested and bound up for their nefari-
Gus practices. Cheap candy is very efficient
agent in poisoning children, which prudent par
ents will be chary of using 1t is greatly to the
| credit Of the firm of c. II. Cross g. Son, Of this
place, that they have never used any but the best
and pures of materials in the manufacture OF their
confectionery; and they furnish it at prices low
as pure candy can be manufactured. Patronize
home dealers, and get finegoods at reasonable
Drices

The members Of the Philharmonic Society were
out in full force, and, under the direction of Mr..
A. j. Phillips, rendered the choruses In manner
that was appreciated by the audience An at
tractive feature of the evening was the singing Of
the Arion Quartettc, consisting OF Messrs. Ban
croft, Phillips, Pitkin and Wheelock The parts
sustained by them are wel-balanced, and the
selections rendered on this occasion displayed the
voices to good advantage. The town has no rea-
son to be ashamed OF Its finale quartette." Mr..
Bancrofts Come into the Garden, Maud was
heartily encored, and he responded with THAT
Lass of Richmond HILL" Although, in the carry
ing out of the programme, he was called upon
rather frequently, he sustained throughout that
clear, ringing tone to which it is pleasure to
listen.
Messrs. Pitkin and Wheelock fulfilled their
parts of the programme in most acceptable man
ner. Mr.. Pitkin sang " Palm Branches " in good
style, and did himself honor in the quartette
singing. Mr.. Wheelock has rich bass voice,
which is clear and distinct, and very effective OF
course Mr.. Phillips sang well-he always does,
and our people never tire Of listening to him.
Mrs. Wheatey's solo, "The Old, Old Tale" was
nicely rendered But that is nothing new in re-
gard to her, for she has fine voice, and always
uses it to advantage. Mrs. Miller and Miss Mer-
rick came before our people for the first time,
but gave evidence of good voice and ability In

The FL Paso Rebellion.

Advices from FL Paso, Texas, by way of
San Francisco, dated Oct 81, show most
dangerous state of affairs. 1t is said that
the entire lower portion of FL Paso county
is in possession of mob, and Americans
throughout the county have abandoned
their homes and fed to Ell Paso for safety,
Judge Howard, who killed Louis Cards,
at FL Paso on the 10th inst, succeeded in
making his escape to Messila, where he
still remains. Cards is said to have been
the leader of the mob, which is more
desperate and threatening in consequence
of his death The sheriff Of III Paso is
also at Messila, but efuses to return with
Howard, as the latter would be immedi
ately killed by the mob, while the sheriff
himself would be killed il he dares to re-
turn without Howard.
| Lieutenant Payne, who is in charge o
the detachment of troops, says four com
panies will be required to suppress thC
mob, A large number of outlaws are en-
camped near the county seat. They de
clare they will fight the troops if the latte
attempt to make arrests. Judge Baker i
