Last night a number of thieves discovered a cask of§whiskey in a yard off Queen Street. Then, procuring an auger and a goed-sized stone jar, they bored a hole ic the cask, and | on filling the jar, escaped from the yard leav- | ing the whiskey running out. The owner did not discover the depredation they committe: notil but a few pints remained in the cask.

Ma. W. N. Riges, Secretary of the meet- ing held in Ward Four, furnished us with a lengthy report; which we are uuable to insert, owing to the press upon our columns. The meeting was addressed by Councillors Chap pelle and Lawson, and Messrs. W. lL adoper, and ©. Heartz. The following resolution was passed ;
Resolved, That in’the opinien of this meet
teres of the city, by holding in check improve ments which otherwise might be made, there fore, this meeting do hereby request the Councillors for this Ward No. 4. to vote for nothing over one per cent per annum, and give their decided opposition to any large contract such as the waterworks, withont first con sulting the people at the Polls.
Mr. Wm. Ladner was nominated a canili- date to contest the ward at the next election. —_—_ }- --—
Mr. Vinnicombe’s Benefit Concert.
Tue Y. M. C. A. Hall was filled last even- ing with a distinguished and discriminating audience, whose presence not only testified to the esteem in which Mr. Vinnicombe is held
by our commnnity, but also will be an encour- |
age ment to any laubable effort to raise the musical standard among us. The orchestral
programme was an ambitious one, and, consid: |
ering the age of the club, its rendition was commendable. The selections from ‘Ii Tro- vatore,” and those from ‘‘ Lucrezia Borgia ” will repay more practice and study, and the performers would thereby gain greater pre- cision in time and in phrasing. The other pieces, notably the waltzes, were dashed off in good style, and showed a steady improve ment in the second instruments. The orches- tral gem the evening was Mendelssohn’s “song without words,” arranged for a string quartette, which was remarkably well done. No combination equals the string quartette in beauty of fourm,or real power and balance The greatest masters wrote
ot expression
their choicest thoughts in this form, and it has ever been <onsidered the most intellect- ual. The time has long gone by when sane men can contemptuously inquire what fun there could be in four feilows sitting opposite each other scraping cat gut ; most
people now understand that in this process there is a something that is well worth find- ing out, since in it musicians find the most precious opportunities for quiet mental analysis and subtle meditation. The selec- tion of a ‘‘song without words ” prise some people who invariably connect such a phenomenon with the singing of birds. Persons who know and care little for music are always very particular about the words of a song; they feel moved, and they want to know what it all means and fancy the words will tell them. ‘They are naturally glad to lind some hing that they can understand, yet all the while tke open secret which they will never read lies in the music, not the words. Mendelssohn, a man educated with almost
Sparton rigor, gave the title of ‘‘ song without |
words” to six books of the most exquisite musica] idylle, ‘Ihe title is full of delicate raillery, aimed geod-humoredly enough by Mendelssohn at the non musical world. las! Nemesis overtook the idvlls, and in the form of the money-grubbing pub- licher, announces tie ** sony without wo ds” to suitable words. Mr. Vinnicombe’s solo was @ rich treat ; and the talented musician shew- ed himself no novice at the clarinet. The * Dream of Lucknow” was capitally rendered by Miss Palmer, and the effect was much heightened by the orchestral accompaniment. bree songs during one concert would have 2a severe strain to those of Hereylean Seat They proved too mach for Mys, Strickland, who deserves muvh praiss for

‘pluck in attacking them. The duet, “I know a bank,”’ was alittle adrift at the start but got into running order before the close. Professor Caven’s effort was admirable. Thre orchestra was powerless to drown his sten- torian tones. and his song was among the best of the evening, Pinsuti’s name is a sure guarantee for something worth listening to, and we feel certain that “I fear no foe,” will take a foremost place in the Professor's repertoire. Herr Herman was not up to his full mark last evening, there was something wrong, for despite his strenuous effort in ‘‘As [ view these scenes so charming,” there was evidently a lack of certainty.
we have heard him do better. Last, though not least, we notice with pleasure, the piano playing of Miss Ella Palmer; the ‘‘ Army and Navy Mar h,” was undoubtedly well executed ‘but the constant re‘teration of the musical

monotonous when carried to its unfailing length in that march. — eet Weather Bulletin.
