MEETING this evening

at 7 o'clock in the basement of the Congregational Church. Let all who desire the success of the coming Convention be present.

THE PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT to be held at the residence of Ira Delano, Esq., will be on Tuesday evening, Doc. 7th, instead of Thursday evening, as mentioned in the

Gazette

of Saturday.

WHAT OF IT?—On the Register of the Terre Hants House of December 4th is the-following: John Hargeaves Road Master, Madisonville, Ky. What is the use of traveling without a title?

STATE CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.—All the Committes having in charge the preparations for the Convention will meet directly after the prayer meeting to-night.

Every member of every committee is desired to

b* present.

THE Savings Bank is starting out WellOne of our printers has deposited a dollar, and has resolved that hereafter, when he is about to spend money for useless articles or luxuries, to place the amount in ihe Savings Bank.

REV. H.

W. BALLANTINE,

formerly

pastor of the Baldwin church and afterwards a foreign missionary, was in the city Jast Saturday. His health is impaired and he is engaged on the Pierce Railroad enterprise to regain it.

CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.—There will be a prayer meeting at three o'clock on Tuesday p. M., at the basement of the Congregational Church, and a children's meeting at four o'clock in the main audienJe room.

MARRIAGE LICENSES were issued last week by the County Clerk to the following parties: Henry Steiglitz and Mary Heim. Reuben Butz and Kate C. St. Clair. Jas. W. Pophan and Anna E. Furguson Griffin Stewart and Fannie Waldon. Daniel B. Harpold and Isabel Gibson. Jacob Nehemier and Isabal McGlowe.

PROF. MARTIN, the distinguished California Wizard and Ventriloquist, proposes to give several entertainments, at Dowling Hall this week, commencing on Thursday night. The Professor has established a fine reputation for his performances where he has exhibited, and will doubtless, be greeted with full houses when he comes this way. Our advertising columns will duly herald his approach. The Professor held "his own" at Indianapolis last week against Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle, and showed to good houses to their satisfaction.

MORE HARNESS STOLEN.—On Friday night after Mr. Joseph Grover had returned from the Haymakers' entertainment, some thief entered his stable and stole a new set of harness, buffalo robe and horse blanket. This is the fourth set of harness Mr. G. has had stolen from him in a little over a year. After the second set was stolen he had a room built in the stable specially to keep his harness secure. On Friday night, however, for some reason he neglected to place the harness in this room. The thief is evidently well posted concerning Mr. Grover's movements about his stable and quite well satisfied with his style of harness. ———

W. H. Stewart, Sheriff, to Thomas J. Forrest, lot in McMurrain's addition for $5S4

ARREST OF THIEVES.—A man by the name of Charles Doye was arrested on last Saturday at the Depot, wearing the overcoat of Sam. L. Bridwell, which was stolen from a buggy in front of the Centenary church, in this city, two weeks ago yesterday. Officer Hayward took him to the Mayor's office, where he told a pretty straight story as to where he got the coat. But the Mayor instructed Hayward and Marshal Whiteman to go and search the premises—on Chestnut street, between Sixth and Seventh—where Doye and his partner, Herman Miller, lived, keeping bachelor's hall, where they found a large quantity of stolen property, most of which has already been identified. The stolen property consisted of a feather bed and bed clothing, horse blankets, chains, harness, buggy whips, a quantity of smoking tobacco, worth about twenty dollars, and numerous other small articles.

Doye and Miller have only been in the city about six weeks, and have been steadily at work for Thomas Cahill, contractor for the grading and graveling of Thirteenth street.

When they came here they brought two horses with them. The bed, bedding, canned fruit, coffee pot, coffee mill and other household goods were stolen from the house of William Troutman, who resides on South First street, and was temporarily absent with his family at the time. They waived an examination and were held to bail, each in the sum of seven hundred dollars, which failing to give, they were committed to jail. ———

At the very outset of the concert we began with pencil and paper to note those portions only which seemed to be very finely rendered, and when through, to our dismay, we had nearly every piece on the programme scored! Alas, thought this will never do, for if we begin to lavish praise where it is merited, no stopping place can be found till wc have called the entire roll.

So we trust that every singer, whether in solo, duett, quartette, quintette or chorus, whether male or female, whether "Father" Morgan with his grand basso, or "Mother" Nippert on the bravura notes, whether sonB, daughters or hired field hands, will individually and collectively understand that there is no discount on their worll of Saturday evening.

We cannot very well throw down our pencil without saying, that if Mr. Paige and Miss Stimson will agree to sing any where within a mile of us, that incomparable duett "Lo the clouds are breaking" as well as they did that night, we will go through deeper mud than wc had Saturday evening to hear them.

Doubtless the ladies and gentlemen who, for days past, have been rehearsing so assiduously to furnish us with this entertainment, are heartily glad they are through and have a respite. "Sweet after toil cometli rest." For our own part we are sorry that these two concert are in the past—rather than in the future—for which sentiment, however, we shall not probably among the singers find an "echo" admirably as they excel in that sort of thing

Good bye, Haymakers, Snipkins and all! Wc like you! come again!

GRAND EXPLOSION! ———

,*• The Haymakers.

The Independent Singing Club closed a very successful and profitable engagement on Saturday evening, in giving three successive performances of the Cantata of the Haymakers. The audience on Friday evening, in numbers and quality, has seldom been excelled by any assembled in Dowling Hall. On Saturday afternoon, the Hall was filled to it.s utmost capacity with a delighted audience composed mostly of school children. The rain of Saturday evening interfered with the assembling of such an audience as would doubtless have congregated. Many seats, which had been reserved and paid for( being vacant. It is to be regretted that the large audience of Friday evening, could not have been exchanged for that of Saturday evening, as it is admitted by all that the rendition of the Cantata on the latter evening far exceeded that of the first representation. This is accounted for by the fact that most of the solo singers appeared in that capacity before a public audience for the first time on Friday evening. We were not in position to critically speak of the execution of the Cantata, but wish to speak what we do know, and that is, that too much credit cannot be given Mr. W. H. Paige, the leader, and Miss MaryJewett, the pianist, who have labored most assiduously to bring about this successful entertainment. Of the m%pner in which it was received, one of the audience writes as follows:

SECOND NIGIIT OF THE HAYMAKERS. We apprehend that, at the close of the Saturday evening musical entertainment by the Independent Club, a very general feeling in the audience prevailed that the whole affair was a complete and grand success. Excellent as was the first rendering of the Haymakers, it was altogether surpassed on this second night.— And we venture the statement, without wishing to throw down the musical gauntlet to any other singing club, that no mere amateur performers can be found in this latitude that can render the piece wfth more acceptance. From the fine opening Recitative by Farmer Morgan, to the closing liurrali of the "Harvest Home," every part waf almost faultlessly done. Much as we had expected from the Club on that evening, they greatly exceeded our expectations. In the completeness of stage scenery and arrangements—in the promptness with which each part was taken up—in the distinct ness of enunciation for which they deserve special commendation—in the easy self-possession of all the peformers—and in hearty abandonment to the soul and spirit of the Cantata, without which no singers can make a success of any piecetoo much cannot be said in their praise.

The last but not the least <seance> given

A member of the committee who acted on Tuesday evening stated, that the meeting was by appointment, the result of the acceptance by the medium of certain propositions which if carried out would be satisfactory to them.

This gentleman was named to act as one of the committee. The medium strenuously objected, urging that the spirits had forbidden him to serve and that a more

modest

<modest> man must be chosen—otherwise the medium would be subjected to unsalutary influences that would seriously impair the nature of the manifestations. Not wishing to. disturb the "conditions," the excommitteeman gracefully retired and took a back seat. With the substitution of another gentleman, the medium was visibly gratified. She assumed a bolder attitude and almost defiantly stepped forward and requested the committee to tie her in any way, by the wrists, thumbs or otherwise. The confident manner that attended her now struck terror to the skeptics and the weak-kneed began to tremble.

The committee having completed the tying operation, the doors of the cabinet were closed. Soon they came open, and the medium asked what they wanted her to do. The reply was, to untie herself. She said that no such promise had been given for this appointment, and appealed to the former committee to confirm the statement. It was finally decided that the only <real> promise that the "spirits"

The medium was now exceedingly embarrassed and asked for a private interview with the gentleman whom the "spirits" had ignored. After objecting, he consented, when she urgently begged him to have regard for her feelings and not expose her any further, to be as easy with her as possible, for her own and her mother's sake, and not to tell the audience what she had said to him, for she had reasons for her conduct, which she was not prepared to make known at present.

At this juncture a general desire was expressed to see something in the way of a test. The medium replied that the spirits were not with her as a band; there were only one or two and they could not aid her very materially. She scolded the gentlemen, calling them "barbarians," "heathen" and other endearing epithets. She said there had been so much confusion during the evening, that the medium was excited, &c. Here a gentleman intimated that there had been no restrictions placed upon conversation and laughter, but he would pledge the audience to solemn stillness for the space of an hour if the spirits could thereby be induced to operate. A follower of the "new system" made a few remarks, enlightening the crowd with the gratifying intelligence that

<he> was also a <medium>; (he was certainly

not an <extra>) that he was only partially developed (he had a very healthy look) and that he could tell a medium whenever he passed one on the street, by day or night. The effect of this oratorical effort was somewhat dampened by somebody saying that he would prefer such a meeting on the street to happen by daylight. The "undeveloped" subsided.

The programme was evidently about finished, when one of the managers explained the cause of the entire failure in the customary style, and asked if there was anything additional desired before adjournment. An emphatic voice disclosed the desire of its owner to recover fifty cents that had been invested earlier in the evening. Figuratively, we have often heard the persuasive words, "Here's where you get your money back!" Literally and positively the admission money was refunded at the door, implying, perhaps, not so much a tacit acknowledgement that the affair was a grand hoax, as a wholesome dread lest the Chief Magistrate of our city should carry out his threat to punish the managers for evading the license-tax on shows!

To sum up: the nail that was driven fairly through on Tuesday night was firmly clinched on Thursday; the bag that was punctured is now entirely destitute of wind; the cabinet has been robbed of its mystery, and the "astounding mediumship" has been brought to an ignominious end. The girl expressed her intention to leave town on Friday, as she could not bear the reproaches of the public and the press. She has justly incured [sic] the bitter censure and shame that is meted out against her duplicity, and we sincerley [sic] hope that her better experience may prove a blessing to her. But the weight of denunciation and withering scorn should not be directed so much against the individual as toward the satanic doctrines that are disseminated through such sacreligious demonstrations. The propagators of Spiritualism first endeavor ,to blind the ordinary senses, thus preparing .the way for their anti-christian sentiments to take root in the minds and hearts of their victims. Let the voice of warning be raised by the churches and the people let all seize the weapons of truth, go forth valiantly against the monster now striken to the ground in onr midst, and rest not, day nor night, until his death-struggles Be overpast.

and prominent business men composing part of the audience. This was the time designated at a previous assemblage, when sundry "tests" would be permitted, the performance of which would still further astound the people, confirm the faith of those whose confidence in Spiritualism had been shaken by the recent exposure, and fully retrieve the lost laurels of Tuesday evening.

had made, was to take off the sealed sack without breaking the tapes or the seals. Having untied the "tom-fooling" knots the committee proceeded to place the tape on her neck, and having tied it, they sealed it with green sealing wax, impressing the initial N upon it.

The medium then entered the clothespress. In a few moments she opened the door and asked if there was not a name on the seal. The reply was that there was no name, but simply a <letter>.

"I told —— that there must be nothing of that kind on the sealing." The knot was then sealed with red wax, but notwithstanding this concession on the part of the committee, the "conditions" were such that she could not extricate herself from the sack, and the attendants had to release her.

Our error was, in calling the meeting for Saturday morning, instead of Sunday morning, as the waiter intended. But with the card dated the 3d, (Friday,) the very natural inference would be that the "to-morrow" was
