There was an audience of about four
hundred people gathered in Library hall
in the new opera house last evening to
listen to the benefit concert given for
the Congregational church of this city
under the direction of W. A. Whit

ing touches, had been neatly arranged
and seated, the walls hung with flags,
and a stage erected across the west end
for the accommodation of the chorus,
which numbered about 40 voices.
The program for the evening was
opened by the orchestra quartet, con-
sisting of Messrs. Donzelman, Conway,
Quimby and Inman.

1t is hard to p%articularize in a pro-
gram of this length without doing real
or fancied injustice, but among the
really fine features of the evening were
four solos: 1.-THE Huntsman's Horn"
and "a Dream" by Mrs. Glover"
1.-The Bend in the River" by
Mrs. Barkwell, and when it is
Starlight" by Mrs. Corlett. Mrs.
Glover's voice was as pure and well
directed as usual, and Mrs. Barkwell's
rendition was good. The quartet,
Sunshine, :" was well rendered, as was
also 30 Summer Night" "The Gyp-
sies," by Misses Zehner and Wiley was
an excellent selection well rendered
and worthy of special mention. Mr..
Miller won an enthusiastic encore by
his rendition of "Mrs. Jones' Musical
Party" and the trio, believe Me-"
was one of the features of the evening,
and the audience insisted upon recall
ling the singers, who repeated one
verse. AS a rule the choruses were
good and well balanced, showing care
full training on the part of the director.
The instrumental pieces were good,
both Duet and solo. The orchestra in
two numbers showed considerable skill,
but the second and best selection was
unfortunately interrupted by a broken
string on the first violin.
Altogether, the program was a most
enjoyable one, and reflected great credit
upon those engaged in it.

A CARD.


The following communication from Mai.
Quincy Mcneil will explain.
| EDITOR ARGUs:-You perhaps have seen
| the structures of the Union in Sundays is,
sue and my reply in Wednesdays. Think.
| ing the editor had not been explicit enough
I addressed him the accompanying note,
which he declined to publish this morning,
| though commenting upon it in such way
as to give very different impression of its
| import. Men usually leave off the boyish
trick of calling names because they can
not get the best of an argument as boys
| do, or of making mouths at the fellows,
sister they can't lick. Not so with the
| Union.
EDITOR UNION Your answer to nv
communication is not explicit enough,
| therefore ask your forbearance while
''spit me hands, and take another turn al
the crank; promising that it makes no diff
| ference if the Union is edited by an Eng
| lishman, for you know and everybody
knows that the accident of birth cuts no
figure with me.
When became a member of the grand
jury, | took upon myself the oath required
by law, that L. would diligently inquire
into and a true presentment make of all
such matters and things as should
be given me in charge or otherwise come
to my knowledge touching the present
service That | should present no per
son, through malice, hatred or i'll will. .
Nor should l leave any unpresented,
through fear favor or affection. or for
any fee or reward, or any hope or promise
thereof; but that in all my presentments
should permit the truth tie sohole truth and
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, according to the
best of my skill and understandings 50
help me GOD.
have as much respect for the other
member of that grand jury as the Union
can have. They took the same oath be :
fore the same ever living God and dis
charged their duty according to the best
of their skill and understanding as con-
ciously as did. But 1 could not see that
if William A. Mum is serving term in the
penitentiary for using money not his
own, why Daniel Zimmerman should not
eXpiate his crime likewise. l presume the
other members of the grand jury borrowed
from the large mantle of charity owned by
the Union. | never knew before the full
extent of that mantle, and since its broad
folds have been extended to me 1 shall ask
that the great charity heretofore extended
to me by high Heaven, may be divided
among my fellow men. So long as the
Unions supply holds out | have enough.
Meese had not the courage to knock old
Morty Kelly down and rob him of $500,
money that he had earned carrying a hod
in his manhood's prime; money that he
had boarded to supply his wants and ne
cessities now that old age prevents him
from earning more. And in addition to
his present punishment he cannot practice
his profession again in this state. Meese got
the peoples money honestly, he expended
it dishonesty. Zimmerman got the town
ship money honestly, he expended it dis
honestly, and can ply his trade again. All
on account of this great mantle of charity.
That the people may know what c. means,
sign my name with the royal degree con-
ferred upon me by the Union.

Charity Taker.
