The society met yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A resolution to the following effect was presented and adopted: That while all that relates to the general management of hospitals, the accommoda tion, board, comfort, etc., of the patients ap pertains, legitimately, to the managers of these institutions, the subject of medical in struction is, properly, neither within their province nor within that of the contributors, but, in right and in courtesy, belongs, with oil its accidents, exclusively to tho medical staff. By permission of the society Dr. Gross ex plained that in his speech of the morning he had stated that Drs. Hartshorne, Stille, Mor ton, and Weir Mitchell held consulting pro fessorships in the Woman's Medical College, n ud were also members of the County Medi cal Society. He had since been informed that this was not true of Drs. Morton and Mitchell, one of whom had never been a member of the County Society, and tho other Laving resigned before joining the Woman's College. He regretted his mistake, and with great pleasure made this correction. After the passage of resolutions of thanks, the society adjourned to meet in Williams port, Ta., on the second Wednesday in June, 1871.. nUSlCAL AI1D 1 It ASIATIC. "I.urline" by the Ktrhlngs Troupe. The performance of Wallace's opera of Lur line last evening, for the benefit of Mrs. Bernard, attracted a very good audience notwithstanding the extremely disagreeable state of the weather. The libretto is based upon the same theme as the once favorite spectacular drama of The Naiad queen almost the only spectacular piece, by the way, produced of late years, that has the merit of being at all poetical in subject or treat ment bnt it is by no means as good an arrange ment. The Naiad Queen would make a very good opera book almost as it stands, and it is to t.e regretted that the composer did not use it instead of attempting to procure a new versiou of the story. Lurline is intended for a spectacular opera, and the entire absence of any spectacular ettects last evenicg was one of the chief draw backs to the enjoyment of the audience. The music is marked by all the characteristics of Wallace's style, and with its sweet, plaintive, and graceful melodies it is well calculated to please the public taste, and if brought out with good etage effects the opera ought to be a valu able addition to the repertoire of any troupe. The performance last eveuing was scarcely up to the Ligbeet mark of excellence, and with the exception of Mrs. Jernard. who sang the role of "Lurline" with fine expression, and Mr. Dray- lou, wno made a capital representative ot 'Rhinebere," there was very little to commend. This afternoon the Reason will close with a performance of Martha. AT thh walnut Air. Jeflerson will appear tliis atternoon ana evening as "Kip Van Winkle." At the Akch the Bryant treupe will give an attractive minstrel performance this eveninz. At thb Chebnut variety entertainments will be given this afternoon and eveuing, when the present troupe will conclude its engagement. We hear that Miss Laura Keeue is eDcra&red in writing a book on the stage, which will doubtless contain many rich, rare, and racy items, lier experiences as ruanager of the Chesuut Street Theatre will furnish the materials for some curious and edifying chapters. We shall look for Miss Keene's book with impatience.

From Our Own Corrtmxmarnu Nkw York, Juno 11, 187P. The Appronrhlna Jubilee. Terhaps j'ou would be interested in a few items with regard to what has been done in preparation for the Beethoven Centennial whosc celebration commences on Monday. This has been a very busy week at the building variously known as the Enqdre Skating Rink and the American Institute, at tho corner of Sixty-fifth stree t and Third avenue. The stage is almost finished. It is 180 feet wide and 05 deep, and will accommodate 4000 persons. Tne stage rises gradually from tho centre towards the sides, in sixteen rows of seats. Each row accommo dates 120 persons. The orchestra occupies tho centre. In the rear of the orchestra nine rows of seats arise, of the same capacity as that of the others. The organ is to be at the back of the stage, facing the middle, and forming tho centre-piece. From either side statues of Beethoven and Mozart, and busts of Handel, Haydn, and Mendelssohn, Weber and Meyerbeer, contemplate tlic scene. The escutcheons of tho several States decorate the walls. Plain orna ments only are aimed at. It Is claimed that the over-ornamentation of the Boston Jubi lee in the way of flass and banners only impeded tho sound. The audi torium is almost completely provided with sofas and forms. The gallery flooring is nearly finished, and, in itself, is as capacious as the floor of Stclnway Hall. The rink is illuminated by sixteen calcium lights, a sunlight in the dome, and rows of jets in all the multitudinous arches. The stage has been made extremely strong, the auditorium rests on the ground. Two large doors of exit are on each 6ide of the building, those of entrance upon Third ave nue. The Handel and Haydn Society of Boston contributes five hundred voices. Besides this there will be societies from Springfield, Mass.. Newark, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford. The entire number of instru mentalists will amount to five hundred of ac companists, 200. Fifty anvils and two batteries of artillery will swell' tho chorus. The anvils are to be manned by a company from one of our most prominent city regiments. The artillery will be touched off by electricity and fired in a vacant lot east of the rink, the cartridges being fired into an embankment raised for the purpose so as to prevent all accidents. Tho first performance is to be given on Monday evening. Madame Parepa singing tho Star Spangled Banner. The enterprise may yet prove a success. The vocal Vesuvius has ab sorbed quite enough money already to make it one. Mr. Leonard Grover worked hard enough over Tammany, but that was child's play com pared with these efforts of cyclopean song. A Brontlwav Kplnoite. At a certain point along Broadway, in front of one of those little stands where summer drinks and postal accommodations are to be bought, and where the hurried pedestrian finds himself asking for cool, sparkling postage-stamps, and soda-water with internal-revenue cream, sits a Bightlees beggar holding shoe-lacers for sale in one hand and a placard bearing the words "I am blind" in the other. Early in the morning and late (it night ho ma3' be seen there gathering a few pennies in, due to the charity he invites rather than the shoe-lacers he displays. The man is old and infirm. His checks are hol lowed, his arms tremble, his face is pitiable, his garments are ragged. He is one of those sights which make the considerate sometimes question whether God Is good, and whether human charity is worth much. Yesterday after noon an event, partly pleasing and partly pain ful, happened to this blind man. He was seated at his post as usual, bmt, what was not usual, was surrounded by several people. The cause was soon apparent. Close to the old man. on one 6lde, stood a villainous-looking young man, in whose stunted form and distorted features all the hideous passions seemed to vie in express ing themselves. He looked like a brute with a human skin and in human clothes. His eye brows formed one line from temple to temple, and across the nose. The chin and lower lip protruded. The features were inflamed, and the eye gleamed like melted lead. He was talking in a low tone and rapidly to the blind man, but evidently no gentle words, and in no gentle tone. By no change in his features did the old man intimate that he heard or felt the radian's words, except that bis upturned countenance seemed involun tarily to grow more supplicating. All of the observers, with one exception, were mature and vigorous men. That one exception was d slim youth of sixteen or seventeen, very blonde, very handsome, very delicate and distingue looking, dressed quietly and In perfect ta6te, and presenting the inimitable tout ensemble of the perfect gentlemen. The quiet but determined blue eyes of this refined boy were riveted alter nately upon the face of the old man and that of the ruffian. Suddenly the tableau changed The ruffian, with the back of his hand, dealt the old man a blow In the mouth which drew the blood. The next instant one hand of the youth was twisted in the villain's neck-tie until the face of the wearer grew red-black, and the other dealt him a stinging blow between the eyes. It was a beautiful sight, over in a mo ment, for the people closed around Valentine and Orson, and succeeded In separating them lust as a policeman hove in sight. The stage that I was in, and the tempo rary blocking in of which had enabled me to so far observe the spectacle, was driven on, but my last glimpse assured me that the ruffian had been given in charge, and that the noble child bad followed un the good work he had so chivalrously commenced. Incidents like this do not take place every day, and when they do they commend themselves very sweetly, because they prove that a good heart and brave intui tions are not quite dead In the boyish breast of Young Gotham.
