The Sxngerfett Concert.
In our notice of the Siengerfest coucerc
of Tuesday night, an expressed criticism
• _..
of Mrs. Denning's part by no met
with tho favor of those eminently skilled
in the science of vocal music. Not that it
was unjust, however, but that the com
bining.eircurns'anceS of the occasion,which
rendered clear and finished vocalism almost
impossible, were overlooked, to the dispar
agement of the lady. Few are yet moie
brilliant than 8116 as an interpreter in the
higher walks of vocalimtion, andther voice
possesse-i all the richness which character
ized it in days gone by, and to be lip reels,-
ted mart be heard in the parlor, church or
hall, not in a commodious shed such as the where the beauties of any yslce are
lost.
Assault and Battery.
Peter Rodgers, school teacher in the
Eleventh ward public school, made infor
mation yesterday before the Mayor, charg
ing John Kalinin with assault and battery,
and at the sante time and place Ki -
rain prefered a similar charge agairvit
Rodgers. It appears that Kilrain's sett is
a pupil in-Rodger% schoo', and a few nays
since the boy was chastised by Rodgers for
some misconduct. KlA•sini thought that
thechastisement was toosevere, and the first
time he met Rodgers theteaftcr, ho chas
tized him by striking him wtth his fist
and knocking him doWn. Th parties were,
b.ith arrested and held for a heating.

music-loving portion of Our community;
on the occasion of the second Grand Con

tikocieties. The Hall had been specially
prepared for the entertainment and present
ed' an exceedingly attractive and tasteful
appearance. Festoons of evergreen hung
gracefully from the galleries, all the way
round. The names of.the different So
cieties, and portraitsof dbtinguished com
posers, encircleri by wreaths of evergreen.
adorned the walls. Here and there flags,
streamers and floral wreathes were
scattered over the pillars and on the
gAlery panelings. A beautiful arch of
evergreen enclosed the stage, on either side
of which were flowering plants and vines,
while over the Whole decorations rays of
light from a powerful gasolier cast a brilliant
radiance, rendering the, appearance of the
auditorium at once untque and gorgeemi.
The audience was on of the finest anal
most appreciative which we liave ever seen
assdinbled, and was extolled by thy' gath
ering at the Rink on Tuesday 'evening ut
point of 'mothers only, because the Hall was insufli:ient to acc . iini modate the throng
which endeavored to effect an entrance with
out suocess.
Thp programme of exereises for tl'o con

most colebrat ell coin poSers, was part lc' pated

The part taken in the atfair by the formed a very interesting and, enter

Banquet.
The reopening of the rooms of the Eagle
Steam Fire and Hose Company, which took
place last evening, was one of the most
plearnt entertturuents it has ever been
our privilege to participate in. The Eagle
Company was organized In May, 1794, over
seventy-four years ago, when our city was
but a village, and has been an active com
pany ever since. Mr. William Eichbaum
was the first President of the company, and
was also the first Chief Engineer, and was
for many year an active member of the
company. The history of the Eagle Com
pany is an in,t :resting one, and we regret
that the want • f time and space prevents
us from speaki gof it at greater length.

Preparing for the Pall rade.
The fall trade will soon oven and our
merchants are busily engaged in arranging
their fresh stocks for its transaction. It
has been universally conceded that the
coming season will be a prosperous one, as
Small merchants in the towns and villages
have permitted their supplies of geode ha
all departments to run down-very low,
awaiting for a Change iu the markets. This
course gave us a dull and drooping spring
and summer trade, but as purchnses must
be made, the stocks having been exhausted,
a giod time is anticipated in the opening
fall season. Goods cannot with any mea
sure-of reason.be expected to decline below
the prices at which they are now held, and
merchants and dealer may as well enter
the market early as late, for they will se
mire the same advantages. Prominent
amongst the old and reliable business
houses strengthening themselveS for the
openir g of trade with immense stocks
of foreign and domestic goods is the , 1
first class wholesale -dry goods establish
ment of Mesisrs. McElroy, Dickson 4, Co.,
No. 50 Fifth street. This_honse ;has ter ;
many years occupied a leading prr ition in,
this line of trade,-and has through yopular
prices and fair dealing succeeded in men,
opolizing to itself , a large share of
public patronage: The stock to which the
attention of the purchasing community is
directed has been selected with much good
care and is as complete and varied as any
over opened in this c:ty. It embraces ail
the latest novelties, fashions, styles and
patterns introduced in the EaStern
in foreign and domestic cloths,rmssirn6res;
and general dry goods, and will be found
as full and choice as could be desired.
Dealers who buy to sell again will be eon..
lanced on making a visit to the house of
McElroy, I neksnn A: Co. that they can buy
with as good advantage there as in the lead
ing e-ta blishments of the Eastern cities.
Aside from obtaining the best of selection
at the most reastibable - prices:the purchaser
will remember that he saves large Lents of
expense in the way of travel, freight, 6:c.,
if he confines his patronage to home. As
a specialty this house has laid in a very
large stock 'of those dfsirable Kittanning
extra heavy barred flannels which will
commend themselves to purchasers.
Having bad king personal acquaintance
with this house we are prepared to com-
mend it in no hesitating terms to the pa
tronage of our readers. .

A very interesting and pleasant part of
the exercises on the occasion consisted in

ful silVer castor to Mrs. Espy. The articles
were presented by Captain John Gilfillan, a
life-long neighbor and friend of the 'Squire,
in a speech exhibiting amen feeling and
high regard -for his old friend. Mr. Espy
replied ill a few remarks, expressing his
gratitude to his kind neighbors for this
mark of their esteem. He was evidently
much affected by this unexpected exhibi
tion of the - good will of his neighbors. Mr.
Z. C. Boyd replied her Mr. Espy in suita
ble terms.

livened the occasion with delightfuh music.

Most Bitters of the present day that are
loudly puffed through the newspapera as
having great curative properties are vile
compounds and base Impositions, contain
ing no medicinal virtues whatever, and are
really very poor- whisky -beverages, and,
instead of acting as a stitnulaut and tonic,
have a tendency to weaken_the stomach by
.entirely destroying the mating. The public
should therefore be very cautious and pur
chase none but Roback'S ..Vtomach Bitters,
which have stood the test as a remedial
agent for many years, and are really as
their name indicates, a stomach bitters and
not a beverage.
_They combine the proper
, ties of the best tonic And a stimulant—a
laxative,
an efficient and anti-bilious agent
and the best stoinachic known to the world,
and 'when taken in conjunction with Ro
back's Blood nits, are the safest and surest
preventive against all bilious derangements,
thoroughly regulating the whole system
and giving tone to the digestive organs. '
They are highly recontmended as an in
vigorating tonic to mothers while nursing,
increasing the flow of milk, and for conva
lescents, to restore the prostration which
always follows long-continued sickness,
they are unsurpassed. No household
should consider themselves safe from the
ordinary maladies without these invaluable
medicines. They can be obtained of any
druggist.
