LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


UNION about week sgo called attention to
the fac. that an organ was Eeeded at the
Protestant Orphan Asylum, so that the chill.
dren could have the benefit of a musical edu-
cation. The call was responded to byt the Capt.
tai Gymnasium Club, of which Albert Hart
was President and II. d. Gamble Secretary.
Although the club is no more, it has left a
substantial monument to its memory. Hav-
ing acquired all the muscle requisite for i'm
mediate purposes, together with surplus of
coin. thew determined to disband. At q
meeting held last Tuesday evening this end
was accomplished. The amount remaining
in the club treasury was 500, which was do
mated toward the purchased of an organ for the
Protestant Orphan Asylum. This sum
was, of course, insufficient to compass
the object in view, and accordingly COM
mittes of ex-members of the club-the Presi-
dent and Secretary. Henry Miller, J. u. I.
Pike Fl. T. Seymour and Harry Gamble
canvassed for subscriptions among our citi-
zens, and in very short time gathered SOL 70.
The committee of the last Republican barbe-
cue here came to the rescue with surplus Of
SOL %, which they contributed. swelling
the sum TO S2l5. The organ was purchased
from L. K. Hammer for 5000, and the re-
naming SIS donated to the funds of the

Albert Hart in neat speech, and an appro.
pirate response was made by Rev. L. IL. B.
Anderson, on behalf of the orphans and
trustees Of the Institution.
