THE GREATEST OF ORATORIOS.

" 'Tlie Messiah' should always bo sung

It is tho greatest of all oratorios—it is
tlio sacred music of sacred music. In
England it is everywhere sung «luring
the Christmas season, and every year
hundreds of thousands, rising,stand and

"Hallelujah chorus," and hundreds of
thousands of hearts thrill in unison at
its jubilant strains, singers and audience
alike.
It is a beautiful custom, and it seems
to be a
when tlie Tuesday Club make
to give it after some such fashion. It is
a pity Unit it lias to be done i
hasty manner—it is to he rendered
Tuesday next, but still a hastily
arranged performance is better than
performance at all. The club's
due tor says, however, that the chorus
is quite fitted for tho work.
Tho solo work will be largely
by tho club's own members,
sible that Mr. Gilchrist will himself sing
of the hi
E. Auty will perhaps assist with the
tenors.
A rehearsal for the performance will
be held at tlio club's rooms, at Eden
Hall, upon Monday next, and it is to be
hoped that a large attendance will beon

The board of trustees of the West
Presbyterian Church very generously
permit the church to be used for tho
occasion free of any charge. Tickets of

Tho injunction to stop

R. Polk in Odessa, Tuesday. Mr.
Polk accepted it, assuring Deputy
Sheriff Charles Simmons that he would
comply with the order of the court. He
had been looking for the injunction for
some time. All tho grading of the
road has been completed between Mid

In municipal limits it is understood the

A strong difference of opinion exists
in regard to the legal procedure. Prop

road, w here the track runs in front of
their property, strongly endorse the
intention of the injunction, while their
neighbors owning property on the other
side of the road, where the tracks are
not in front of their property,
strongly in favor of the road.
The commissioners appointed to assess
damages, Senator Pilling of Newrark,
William Cooch of Gooch's Bridge, Gen.
