Pile of Springfield lectures, this evening, at the Central street chapel, on the in ternationu] society. The first of the scries of six select military mid civic assemblies, under the auspices of the Mate Guard, will be held next month. The county treasurer has paid out twelve hun dred dollars during the past year for inquest expenses in the county. In 1865 the cost of in quests to the county was only S2BO. The fair of the ladies connected with the Union hill mission chapel enterprise closed last eve ning. after a season of much pleasure for the patrons anda considerable amount of profit for the mission. His honor Mayor Earle entertained a very pleasant party at his hospitable tesidehce last evening, the guests consisting of the members of the city council, the school hoard and other officers of the city government, together with some other personal friends. A fair-sized audience witnessed the perform ance of the Streets of New York, The frequent repetition of this play has wearied the public, and nothing but the excellent acting of Frank Mayo could induce people to attend the theater in the biting cold weather of last night. Hie collision, at Palmer, last night, mention ed in the dispatch from Springfield, caused a detention of the New York train due here at a few minutes before ten o'clock, and the train did not arrive until an early hour this morning. A wedding party, intending to take the train for Boston, spent several hours in the depot. the fair at Dewey street chapel, last evening, was a very gratifying success, and the ladies who conducted it are encouraged to continue this evening. As n special feature, also, there will be an old-fashioned dinner from 12 o’clock to day until 2 in the afternoon, and a supper in the evening in connection with the fair. The object is to raise money for the purpose of fur nishing the chapel, which has just been com pleted. It was built by general subscription, and supplies a want which has been felt in that locality for several seasons. The German singing society (Frohslnn) will have a dramatic entertainment and concert at their new hall on the evening of Christmas day. The society has two social gatherings each month this winter, one being devoted entirely to dancing and the other to concert music and the drama. The previous practice of crowding theatricals, a concert, and dancing, into one evening, was found to detract, from the excel lence of each; but with the present arrange ment the occasions of meeting together to spend an i veiling, are greatly enjoyed, and promote the musical and dramatic tastes of the Germans. ’1 he European bouse, on Front street, which has been conducted by James Roberts lor about two years, is now closed. A difficulty grew out of the failure of Roberts to comply with the terras of the lease, and the owner, Mr. Sessions, took possession on Monday, placing a keeper in the house. This keeper was forcibly turned out by Roberts. Roberts was then arrested for as sault; was baited out; went back, entered the house through a window, ami again assumed possession, but was displaced by offi cers, who forced the door by adviceof Mr. Ses sions’ counsel. The case appears in the munic ipal court record. Municipal Court.—Judge Williams dis posed of the following cases yesterday: James Roberts, unlawful entry and detainer, hound over to superior court in $500; James Jule, as sault and battery, $1 and costs; William Matthews, assault and battery, $1 and costs; paid. Matthew Maloy, assault and battery, case on tile; William Daly, James Burns and. M illiam Corcoran were each fined for drunken ness. Dal)' paid, and the other two were com mitted. The case of Peter Clark, for drunken ness, was placed on file. Refrigerating.—There has, without doubt, been enough said about the cold weather of the last twenty-four hours to preclude the necessity of any newspaper talk on the subject; but for Hie benefit of subscribers in other latitudes, we will here state that it is exceedingly cold in Worcester—much colder than it has been at any previous time this season. The degree of cold, as indicated by thermometers, varies according to location, tendency of the owner to exaggerate, and such other unavoidable influences as al ways stand in the way of accurate observations based on hearsay. The reddest nosed, most pinched up, and frozen-looking sufiereis chatter about ten and twelve degrees below; while oth ers claim that seven below is as far down as the mercury reached. Whether twelve or seven, it’s awlul cold weather, and “be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.” Superior (Civil) Court.—Bacon, J.— The jury in the case of Win. McDonald vs. the inhabitants of Leicester, for damages for injury to a horse from a defect in the highway, were unable to agree, after being out till midnight. It is understood they stood seven to five. McCafferty for plaintiff, Rice Blackmer lor defendants. No. 9l(i. David M.

Redding, an action to recover the value of two horses attached by the plaintiff, a constable of Worcester, as the property of Joseph Roberts, which the plaintiff claims as his (Jolin Roberts’) property.

No. 989, Daniel Weir vs. Rufus Emory War ren,an action to recover the balance of an account, amountiifg to $92.62, for services on a farm in Gratton, will next lie tried.

The Concert Last Evening.—Nearly five hundred persons evinced their interest in the concert given at the Old South church, last evening, by their presence on the occasion. This attendance, with the thermometer below zero, must be considered as quite complimentary to those taking part. The church, as lighted for the first time since its renovation, presented a pleasant and cheerful appearance; the altera tions made, adding much to the comfort of the attendants. The programme, consisting of fourteen num bers, tastefully arranged with regard to variety of solo, duct, trio, quartette, quintette and chorus, was rendered in an admirable manner, as might reasonably be expected from such eminent talent, under the clear and steady di rection of so excellent a conductor. As our space will not allow our entering into detail, we can only say that the audience testified their satisfaction by expressions of approval of nearly all the selections rendered, in several instances amounting to decided encores. At the conclusion of the concert the choir were entertained with a graceful hospitality by the ladies of the Old South, a choice collation being served in the ante-room of the church, where a couple of hours were passed in social enjoyment; sentiment and speech being indulg ed in to some extent, the affair closing with the singing again and again the old hut ever wel come “Auld Lang Syne.” May we not hope tor more entertainments upon the plan of last evening ere the season closes. Lecture by Rev. E. E. Hale —A large au dience assembled last even ng in Mechanics hall to listen to the lecture of Rev. E. E. Hale, in the Lyceum course. With a certain felicity of invention which always characterizes Mr. Hale's productions, he entertained the audience with the reading of an original story, in place of a sot lecture. This story, entitled “He Did Worcester IB Ihuh So VOL. 26, NO. 302. His Level Bist,” took an bstefiulhlv aiihfifid graphical form, and Rdriated the efforts of an individual to respond to all calls of charity and public enterprise which laid claim to his atten tion. He and his wife were each possessed of a snug fortune, and were each of il like mind in their kindly credulity and over-ready sympathy. They read the papers conscientiously. If the editor said that “all right-minded citizens*’ would attend a certain concert, or that “all lowers of art” would go to see a particular painting, a memorandum of it Was made and the iustruetions followed out. E\cry society and board and or. ganizatiot) and charitable association had him as one of its most devoted members. All char ity seeking mendicants, all peripatetic agents found in him ntid ills wife the most zealous sup porters. Their joint fortune melted away before these continued expenditures, and they find themselves finally friendless and penniless, and arc thrown on the town bu’fipbH I*l the poor house, this irioUVnful story he then confides to Mr. Hale. It is impossible to give an adequate idea of the story in so brief an abstract. Its subtle humor and keen satire shook the whole audience with laughter, the undercurrent of thought and purpose moved them to applause, and once a touch of honest tenderness hushed them to silence. The moral, as traceable in the story, and as announced by Mr. Hale, was that it is better to do a single thing thoroughly and in one’s own way, than to try to do a hundred things, and follow other people’s directions, Taken altogether the platform has hardly given us this season a mole truly enjoyable entertain ment than Mr. Hale’s thoroughly characteristic story. COUNTV NEWS. Mrs. Henry Sawyer of West Boylston was fa tally injured yesterday forenoon, by being thrown from her sleigh, the horse having taken fright at some object by the side of the road. She was taken up in an unconscious condition, and had not recovered last night. The doctors say her neck is broken. The following are the officers of Post 77, G. A.

Fitch, of Sterling, who lost his pocket book containing money and valuable papers, in this city, several days ago, has recovered it. A gentleman and lady drove up to his door and inquired if he was the man, and after a description of it, produced the wallet and contents all right. It was picked up on the sidewalk on Foster srreet, near Main, flic finder proved to be Mrs. John Lockcy, of Leominster. She declined the SSO reward, but Mr. Fitch insisted on her taking It. She finally took S2O. It could not have fallen into better hands. Our New York Dispatches. New York, Dec. 21.—1 tis reported that the pres entjm Iges of the supreme court will fill the place vacated hy James Sweeny as clerk to-day, so as to prevent the incoming judges from act ing in (he interest of reform. Nothing definite is known as to what was done by the grand jury yesterday. It is known that twenty per cent of the fund divided by Woodward is vet unaccounted for, and it is presumed that this may still be traced into the possession ot Connolly or Hall, if not both. An examination of the dealings of official.’ at the various city banks is expected to result in important disclosures. Peter B. Sweeny telegraphs that he is at St. Catherines, Ontario, “simply fur his health. Hie World says editorially that it is rumored that Tweed has resigned his directorship on the Erie road, and will be succeeded by Daniel Drew. The Tammanyitcs are striving to gain admis sion to the new democratic organization here. The grand jury delay is to give time for the arrest of all the indicted persons. Judge Bed ford’s case is to be investigated. Heenan is charged with a fraudulent gravel contract worth 52500 for which he received $75,- 000. Hall told a Star reporter that he might be obliged to leave his nflice immediately. The investigation of the Tenth national bank shows that Tweed’s share of the fraudulent claims was 24 per cent., payments being always made on rhe day the vouchers were cashed. A leading politician hitherto unconnected, received 20 per cent, of the plunder, while an equal share is nnaecounted for, supoosed to have gone to Hall or Connolly. I'his bank was where all the ring transactions were made. The counsel for Connolly has appealed to the general terin ol the supreme court from the f the constitution confining the president to one term: Whereas, for many years there has been an In creasing conviction among the people, without di tiuclion of party, that one wielding the vast patron age of the president should not bo a candidate for re-eh etion, and this conviction has round expres sion in the solemn warnings of illustrious citiz< ns, and in repeated propositions for an amendment of the co' jtituticu confining the president to one (erm: Whereas, Andrew Jackson was so fully impressed by the peril of republican institutions from the temptations acting on a president, who, wielding the vast patronage of his oflltJe, becomes a camlnlab' for re-election, that in hh first annual message he Called attention to It. and in his second annual message, alter setting forth ihe de-lgn of the con* stitution to secure the independence of each depart ment of government and promote the healthful and equitable administrations of all (he trusts which it has createdh»> did not Imitate to say; That the agent nio-t likely to eontraVeiie this d sign of the constitution is the chief magistrate, and tlien proceeded to declare: “In order particularly that Hits appointment may as fat as possible be placed beyond the readh of any im proper influences; in order that he may approach the solemn responsibilities of the highest office in the gift of a free people uncom mitted to any other course than the strict line of constitutional duty; and that the securities for this independence may be rendered a- strong us the na ture of power end tlie weakness of ils possessor will admit, 1 cannot too eanm-tly invite your attention to the propriety of promoting such anmndmonts of the constitution as will render him ineligible niter Ode term of service; and then again in his third an nual message the smile president renewed this pa triotic appeal; Whereas, William Henry Harrison, following in the footsteps of Andrew Jackson, lelt it a "rimarv duty in accenting hi-* nomination as president to assert the one term principle m these explicit words: “Among the principles proper to be adopt ed by an executive sincerely desiring to restore the administration to its original siinphchv and purity, I d with him on the one term prmcinle, and publicly enforced it in a speech, June 27, 1849, when* mt t asking tor “a provision to render a person ineligible to t tie office of presi dent of the United States after a service oi one term,’’ he explained Hie necessity of the amend ment by saying: “Much observation and deliberate reflection have sathlied me that too much of the time, the thoughts and exertions of the incunibmit are occupied during the first term in securing his re-election. The public business consequently suf fers.’’ Ami then again, in a left t dated September 13,1P12, while getting forth what he calls “princi pal objects engaging the common desire ami com mon exertion of the whig party,” the same stat man sy milies “an amonument to tip* constitution, limiting the incumbent of the presidential office to a single term Wiiereas, the whig party in its national Coii vent ion at Baltimore, May 1, 1844, nominated Henry (Jay as pieslllcnt and Theodore Freling huvsen as vice president, with a piatloiui where a a single term for the presidency is dt'dared to be among tlie great principles of the whig party, prin ciples’tisoparable from tin l public honor and pros perity, to be maintained niid advanced by theelec iion of these candidate,” which declaration was echoed at an immense m 'ting in Monument square, addressed by Daniel Webster, where it was resolved that the limilufiou of a president to a single t rm was among the objects “for which (ho whig party will unceasingly strive until their efforts are crown ed with a signal and triumphant success; Whereas, jn the same spirit ami in harmony with the.^e authorities, another statesman, Benjamin F Wade, at. the close of his long service in tlie senate, most earnestly urged an amendment of the consti tution confining the president to one term, and his s; ‘echon that, occi'^ion, February 26, 1866, said: “The offering of this resolution is no new impulse of mine, for i have been an advocate of the princi ple contained in it for many yen 1 and I have de rived the strong impressions which 1 entertain ou the subject from a very careful observation of the workings of our government during the y riod that I have been an ooserver of them; i believe it has been very rare that we have been able to elect a president of the Unit al States who has not been tempt -I to use thevrst powers intrusted to him ac cording to his own opinions, to advance his re-elec tion;” and then, after exposing at length the neces* sity of this amendment, tne veteran senator further declared: “There are defects in the constitution, and this among the most glaring. All men have cn n; nlld n QW let us have the resolution to come and apply the remedy:” Whereas, these testimonies revealing intense anu widespread convictions of rhe American people are rciufnrred. by tile friendly observations of De Tocqueville, tile rmnarkabk FronChinan: to wljom our country is under such great and lasting obligiu tions, in h?s famous work on democracy in America, where he says, in words of singular clearness and force, “intrigue and corruption ah' vtfes natural to elective governments, but when the chief of the government can be re-elected, those vices extend indefinitely and compromise even the existence of the country। Wlmna simple candidate seeks suc cess by intrigue,his maneu i res aehuset ts. They are all nuuleexpressly for me; consequently Ilie alyles anil prices can I'V veiled upon a being sah. lactory. A c Hl is iv-pectfully solicited. LDM SA A.
