The Mozart Last Night.

The 73sth musicale of the Mozart Asso-
citation took place at the Academy last
night, the attraction being Professor I'd
ward Paine's Glee and Madrigal Society.
The music rendered by them was
of a high order and seemed TO give
satisfaction 10 the audience. The singing
of this class of music is a novelty here.
and comprises some Of the choicest eom-
positions in this class OF music by such
eminent composers as Mendelssohn, festa,
Wiske, Caicott Leslie. Gounod. W:loye,
Moseheles. Benedict. and Caldicott.
When it is considered that the pains
taking artist and conductor. Professor
Paine, has iabored so hard and succeeded
80 well in introducing to Mozart audiences
this charming music. together with the
beautiful stage setting, II may be fairy
conceded that ne has given fine lesson IN
the way OF giving an attractive concert.
The solo by Mr.. Leonard Peter, the Her
mit). by Gounod. was well rendered and
elected much applause and appreciation.
The humorous quartet. Ba-a, Ba-a
Black Sheep" by Messrs. Henning. Mont
gamery, Cardoza. and Lohmsn was greatly
enjoyed and an encore was awarded them.
The whole programme was nicely done
and gave excellent satisfaction.

cenheimar, Clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court, have received circulars nom

ment of Justice at Washington nottates
than August 18th the names and iocs-
tions of marshals, deputy marshais, COM.
missioners. &C.. within the jurisdiction or
their respective courts.
WHY THEY WIRE ISSUED.
This circular is supposed to be The resuls
of an agitation started in Frederfcitsbur
and OF letter written from that place 10
the Acknowledgement. The complaint -
made that parties charged with violating
postal and other laws Of the United States.
and who were arrested in or near trede-
ricksburg. were brought from orthroueh
that place for examination before United
States Commissioner. although there Is
Commissioner residing In fredericksburg.

Office at Fredericksburg. aud Wallace. who
was arrested in Stafford charged with
perjury in falsely swearing 20 certain
statements IN connection with an appli-
cation for position under the civil

TIRE EXPLANATION.
IL was stated at the cuStom-house yess
terday that IN the case OF IaliateEro tho

was new man in Office. Mr.. Flegonhcimor
said that after Ialiaferro's case came BE-.
