LANNON'S OPERA HoUsE.-The New York
Dispatch says of A. 0. Babel, the cowboy
pianist, who will make his first appearance
in this city to night: Although his playing
has not the refinement and delicacy of a
trained musician it possesses brilliancy of
execution rarely surpassed, and it may be
added that such was the attraction and mag
netism of his playing that nobody moved
from their seats until the entire programme
had been finished. His harmonies are the
harmonies of one who plays By ear, and his
progressions are arbitrary"

the square on Queen street, between Pitt

54S acts of 1884 a list of the rate Of taxa
ticn on lands assessed for all county pur.
poses, in Alexandria county, since 1865, in
order that when the lands are sold for de-
linquent States taxs that the county may
also obtain its share Of delinquent taxes
due; also, resolution setting forth in sub,
stance, that whereas the Board of Supervi-
sors had made every effort in their
power to make a statement of the
financial condition of the county, and
that they had been unable to do so
because of the persistent and contin-
ued refusal of Benjamin Austin, clerk of the
board, to allow said board to inspect the
books, vouchers and papers of said office,
they therefore empower county attorney
J. E. Clements, and George A. Mushbach,
esq.,, to obtain possession of all books,
vouchers and papers pertaining to the office
of the board of supervisors, to make state
ment of the financial condition of the coun-
ty, and to bring suit against all or any ofii.
GERS and their bondmen for any fraudulent
or improper use of the county's funds that
may be found upon such investigation.
The board then adjourned to meet on the
second Tuesday in May.

ceedings were of no general interest, and
attracted but few spectators. Eight o'clock

out debate.
The Committee on Streets reported three

which came in from the lower board, after
which the Aldermen, upon invitation, pro-
ceeded to the chamber of the Common

the election Of trustees for the Female Free

return took several recesses while waiting
for business from the other board, and after
being in session about two hours adjourned.
COMMON COUNCIL.

every member of the board voted on the
same side.
The most notable paper Of the evening
was the following:
