There are over «ixty working members and a large honorary roll, which is decidedly a good commencement!, and most) enco.uragicg to t-hoee who wre instrumental in the formarios of the Society. A movemenb of this kind should be warmly supported in the rliatricr, as it gives the younger portion oi the community who have a taste for music »uch good opportunities of improving themselves, especially ia thß orchestra. The «oGcert on Monday night will be open to Kbe public, and those who are not members -hould take this chance of acquainting themselves with the work of the Society.
