they announce that Il further series of six
concerts will be given next spring. "This
announcement says the PaH Mai Ga.etie,

amateurs. Everyone would regret the
demise Of venerable institution which, in
its best days, rendered incalculabe service

A Thriving Monopoly.

The Western Union Telegraph Company
by reason of low wages to employees and
high rates TO the public, has been enable to
realize so per cent. of profit during the
past year. Receipts, ;sl2,7S2 800; expenses
S6,9is,000; profits, S5,63i900. Brobably
not one man in score will think that any
of this money was robbed from him. Yet
labor paid for all, and the laborer who
never sent message by telegraph in his
life contributed towards the great steal as
eflcctually as if he had been employed by
the company. Nor can it be otherwise
while special privileged corporations con-
stitute part of our social system. Mon
opoly is as great menace to liberty as
monarchy itself.

SPECTATORS assembled in the Palace
Grounds TO witness a bicycle race as there
was on Saturday last, and as fifty mile races
as a rule are very undressing, generally
few spectators remain TO witness the con-
clusion; but, in the present instance, SO eA-
citing and interesting was the racing
throughout, that the crowd increased as
the race proceeded. The Hon. Ion Keith
Falconer rode with great determination
and iudgment and his victory was very
popElar. From the plucky manner Nirsey,
of The Surrey Bicycle Club, who, through
the breaking of one of the spokes OF his
machine in the forty.second mile, and iost
thereby nearly three-quarterS OF zap,
rode, and made up his lost ground, he came
in tor great cheering as he passed the
nudge second, in front OF Adams. FROM
TWENTY-FIVE miles upward the record was
besten. and AS each mile from that distance
was drawing toward completion some rare
bitslof squirting were INDUCED in to gam
the honor of record. At the end oil the
tourney all were beSrimed with cinder
dust. but the first five pulled up remarSa'
bly fresh, and Reynolds was not much the
worse for his EXCEPTIONS. Crute, however,
was dreadfully fatigued, and labored marc
the last few miles, though he ratified away

Mr.. Rowe, who is principal OF the Steuben
vile High School, has always walked under
the banners of Democracy. When Gar
field was nominated for the Presidency,
Prof. Rowe-whO had went TO school TO the
Mentor Statesman--signitiedh his intention ri
supporting him at the polls, which was, we
suppose, all right, but aside from that he
swore allegiance tn the Democratic party.
But now the Prof L. must arise and explain
how his name comes TO be on the Republi-
| can ticket as an Updegratf delegate, % set at
rest some of the uncomplimentary rumors
aflOat about him, one of which is mean
| enough to say that the Prof wants to be
superintendent of the public schools, but
can't be until he joins the Republican clans.
| Hence the Professors flop. Aleck, rise up
aad tell us where you are.
Lizzie Brosi, one of SteGbenville's sweet
| singers" who has been living with her
aunt since her return from Europe, left
this week for Boston to fulfill an engage
| ment of fOrty-four weeks with the New
| well wiSherS.
A party of our musical young gentlemen
went out to serenade the other night, but

music for riot and wanted to run them
in. Truly our W. D should all have barlow
