Themummy Yesterday attracted great atten-
ton An absurd story was set atioat that it
was practical joke, and that the Museum
Association had no mummy on exhibition.
| Those present Yesterday at the gallery can
give the report flat denial. The figure is
that of woman, probably 5 feet inches
in hight, and originally weighing about rs
pounds. The internal organs were re-
moved, and the body mummified and eX-
cellently preserved, probably by the sailing
process. One hand crosses the body and
one rests upon the breast. The hands
and feet are very small and well
formed, and the nails show that the
hands were not accustomed to hard
work Unlike the Egyptian mummy
examples. this body is not in wrappings, but
| the whole body is exposed. 1t kneels upon
one knee and the other is drawn up close
to the body, but evidently the foot ofthatleg
was originally upon level with the oppo-
site knee. 1t is one of several mummies
brought from an Alaskan cave, and the
appearances indicate that it is of very an
cient date 1t is in many respects a super
| Tor example of the mummy fraternity.
Mummies are either preserved as such by
| treatment with bitumen, and by binding,
after embalming, with cloths soaked i'll a
reSinous preparation; or they are treated
with salt. In that case they assume dark
olive brown and are light. Such is the
case with the mummy now here. II is a
great curiosity and well worth a visit to
the gallery, and any who have upposedit to
be other than as represented will find out
their mistake on examination. AT half
past ten last night the First Artillery
| Regiment. Colonel Z. w. Sheehan com
manding, marched to the residence
of Mrs. Croker and gave her a delightful
serenade with the regimental band a
very large assemblage stood III the street
and listened to the music. Mr.. Dillman, in
! behalf of Mrs. Crocker, thanked the regi-
ment for the compliment heartily. Miss
Holbrook, by request of Mrs. Croker, ap-
peared at the front OF the dwelling and re-
cited, with patriotic fer or, F." Sheridan's
Ride" and Barbara Frietchie.' She was
loudly applauded. The soldiers and the
assemblage gave three rousing cheers for
Mrs. Crocker, and the ladies and friends on
the porch returned them with will. Sev-
| eral new exhibits were placed i'll the eXhi
bitiOn yesterday, and among them was
very beautiful collection of butterflies from
South America, by Mrs. c. w. Clarke.

A MUSICAL TREAT.-A fine audience.
comprising some of our best people, was
present at the Congregational Church last
evening to hear the concert given by the
celebrated tenor, Signor Ernesto Baldanza
and the distinguished bassO cantante, Sig
nor Luigi Lencioni, late of Brignoi Opera
| Company, assisted by the following local
| talent: Mrs Fleissner- Lewis, Mrs. S.
WaSserman and the local quartet COM
posed of Messrs. Graham, Sanborn, Car
| roll and Auerbach The concert taken as
a whole, was of superior merit, was highly
appreciated and every song was encored.
Messrs. BaldanZa and Lencioni are
vocalists of acknowledged fame and
merit. and their efforts last night
fully justify the high encomiums they have
received through the columns Of the press,
both in this country and Europe. The
ladies who participated have excellent
voices, show careful training and as ANA
