The programme consisted oi selections on the piano, songs, and recitations. All the performers were amateurs, with the exception of Mr Donald. Munro, Banchory, whose recitations and comic songs fairly "brought down the house." After the concert, a dance took place in the Baloarres Hall, about 50 couples being present. OLDMELDRUM.

Cantata bit Frbb East Church Choik. In this church last evening an enjoyable performance was given by the church choir of Sterndale Bennett's sacred cantata "The Woman of Samaria." The soloists were Miss Mary Burnett (soprano), Miss L. Christie (contralto). Mr W. Arthur (bass), and Mr J.
A. Goodlad (tenor). The church was comfortably filled. The choir, who were undoubtedly a finely-balanced body, rendered their various choruses tastefully and accurately, as was to be expected from the tuition of their rccompliohed conductor, Mr Forrest. It is needless to dwell on the merits of the soloists, all of whom are well known as capable and experienced vocalists.
Taken as a whole, the cantata was given with a degree of excellence not often found in such performances, and to this result Mr Burwocd Nicholls and Mr C. B. Miller, the accompanists, contributed not a little. Mr Forrest, who conducted, has also to be complimented ou his work.

That referred to the marriage. He also wrote I hope you will be nearer me in the inir. In order to support her younger one3, putting salt on streets, I for one would have very little difficulty in expressing my opinion but we are dealing here with what is done necessarily under the sanction of the authorities of the place, aud if they are of opinion that the only reasonable way to get the streets cleared, so as to allow the traffic which Parliament has allowed to be carried along the street to be kept in operation at all, is to use salt I do not think we have to consider whether that is right or not. Whatever is done or not done iu a time of fall of snow or frost is done in a time of public inconvenience, und members of the public must suffer inconvenience, and also a certain amount of risk in regard to their property vehicles and horses in that state of things. The public authorities of Aberdeen are, in my opinion, the proper judges of that matter.
They have the duty and the responsibility imposed on them by the ratepayers to see that the road6 are satisfactorily managed under all circ*mstances. If the inhabitants of Aberdeen are of opinion that their affairs iu that matter are being mismanaged by the Corporation, they have the remedy in their own hands they can see that they get a Corporation that will listen to remonstrances made by them, if they arc reasonable but I do not think that we have the duly of deciding, or can bo reasonably called upoti to decide, upon such a question. Therefore, on the whole matter, I concur with the reasoning of ths Lord Ordinary, and he has expressed a clear opinion that this interdict ought not to be granted, Lord Young I concur, and I do not think it necessary to add anything; but I would wish, in addition to what I have said already, to remark that I think the amount of time aud which this case hai consumed is absolutely scandalous. Lord Trayner I concur with the Lord Ordinary's judgment. I would only add this, that if the had come before me in the first instance, looking at ths terms iu which interdict is prayed for, 1 should have been rather disposed to deal with the plea that i he action was irrelevant in tinguished statesmen going into tno nouses 01 Parliament.
It would bo inconvenient for these statesmen to- be interdicted from going into Parliament. Then, at drawing-rooms, crowds go to ace the people going the nice teases. Able That, of course, is a special case. Lord Young More special than the snowstorm. (Laughter.) Take the case of a voting man from the country it has happened with myself warned ugaiust going along the Strand at night because the theatres cause such a crowd as to block the street.
You would interdict them all to prevent a crowd at the theatre dcors Mr Abel It would be granted only if it were shown that it contiuuaily interfered with the public convenience. Lord Young But it continually interferes with people iu the street. Mr Abel Yes but it-does not interfere with the legitimate use of the streets. Everybody bM a right to be on the streets and I suppose person can stand on the street. Lord Young The police are there for the purpose of making you move on.
Mr Abel I think you could not interdict a mHii from going on Lord Young I think Mr Justice North should not take the management of the streets into his own hands. Mr Abel The people were around the theatre door, obstructing, the man's access to his own. house. Lord Trayner But the peoprhtor of the theatre did not invite people a 6 5 -SO, but stated thu.t the theatre would not be till G'30 and if they wine at 5'30 or at 2 30, that was their own affair, and not his and the police are thers for the purpose oi keeping people from collecting on the footpath and it wm surelv their phrce to keep the street clear.

Committee yesterday, and Councillor Meff John Hay. Harness 1 Bugn Tlougn, 2 John Kellas, 3 George Robertson. Groomiug I John Kellas, 2 Hugh Toagb, 3 Rkprrsentation op North Aberdeen. Mr Aiphens C. Morton, formerly M.P.
for Peterborough, has, it is understood, written to Councillor Vm. Johnston to the effect that he hopes lie will be kept in view should a vacancy occur in the representation of North Aberdeen, Mr Morton points out that while in Parliitnenc he took much interest in aU Scottish questions, aud was specially attentive to matters affecting the workers. In these oircumetances he evidently considers that he is well qualified to represent North Aberdeen should Mr Hunter retire. Mr Morton created quite a scene at the meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers in London the other day. It was moved that a petition should "be presented to Her Majesty's Government praying that immediate steps should be taken by legislative enactment to place a limit ou the school board rate, which is now Is 2d per a rate that involves the City in an annual contribution of 200,000, as compared with 5000 in the year 1877.
Mr Morton sneered contemptuously at those whr grudged the increase of 400 per cent, in the expenditure of spreading the light, and he raised an angry protest by declaring that in Scotland the whole of the children were educated by the State." The Scotch members of the Commission warmly denied this. Mr Morton reasserted that it was true. There was great uproar, and as Mr Alphens Cloophas Morton stuck to his guns, he had the satisfaction of tinishing his speech but to empty benches, for there was a general exodus. Of the motion for the petition was carried. Ahekheen City Lectuf.es Sketches in Parliament." Last night in the Mitchell Hall the sixth supplementary lecture of the eity course was delivered by Mr F.

on to the sides of the streets, and from seatteriug suit on the lines during times of snow. In con-aidering this matter I think it miufc be kept in view throughout that what is found fault with as bsiue done contrary to the law is all of the nature of emergency proceedings. The streets of a town, which it is desirable and necessary to keep open at all times for traffic in the interests of business and iu the interests of the inhabitants, do sometimes necessarily get more or less obstructed during the winter season by the fall of solid mutter on the streets, or by the formation of solid matter on the streets ia consequence of frost following rain, and there cannot be the slightest doubt that it is one of the first duties of toe public authorities of any town particularly a large and busy town to taka some means as rapidly as possible to clear the way for traffic. If the obstruction is 3olid the whole thing may be cleared away very quickly from the streets. If the obstruction from a very heavy fall of snow is very great the emergency is not so easily met, and they must just do it as well as they can and as rapidly as they can.
Now, when tramways are established in any towu, which can only be done under Act of Parliament, the tramway company gets the risht to use the road for a particular kind of traffic. They are not entitled to the use of the road in any other sense thsn that they are entitled to keep to their line and not to give way to other traffic except by pulling up but have right to use their line, and other traffic, when the company gets that statutory right, must give way to it so as not to obstruct it. Now, the moment a fall of snow of any depth takes place in a town like Aberdeen the tramway system is for the moment stopped, because not only is it difficult to run the horses, but the tram cars cannot run unless the snow is taken from the rails, and it is necessity that it should be cleared away. It must be kept in view that it ought to be cleared inany if there were no rails there. We know the ordinary practice is to clear the centre by a snow plough, which necessarily has the result to obstruct the rest of the street for a temporary period, because they cannot shovel the enow from the centre without making the snow at the sides, deeper than it was in the middle.
But at once you open the middle of the street for traffic and if the tramway company, which has the use of the road within its rails, proceeds at once to oleai Jthe road in that way, it is just doing for the public authority what the public authority would be bound to do in ordinary course i there were no tramway there. It is the duty of the public authority to clear the streets of snow, and if the Tramway Company do nothing more and it seems in regard to the removing of snow they do nothing more than pushing the snow to the sides, which is the first thin? the public authority does, I do cot see what ground there can be for interdicting them agaiust doing that. Ihe duty of the public authority being to clear away the snow, that is a thing which, in certain circ*mstances, can be done quickly ia certain cijCRBjsJajjcefl repast was purveyed by Mr Smith, and. covers having beeu removed, the chairman gave an Saw: of Me David Scott's Library.
