It was good years ago. when it first made its appearance, and has been steadily improving until the present time, when it can only be pronounced perfect, and indispcnsiblc to every lover of music. The December number .price 30cents, con tains three Ballads, a Christmas Song, nn Anthem, a Four-hand Piece, as played at Theodore Thomas’ Orchestral Concerts, and three splendid Piano Pieces, any single piece being worth in sheet-music form more than Mr. Peters asks for the entire lot. Giving so much really good music for such a small sum, it is no wonder that that Peters’ Musical Monthly lias hosts of friends among our music loving people. Those who have seen it will, of course, rcneAv their subscrip tion for the coming year; others, less fortu nate, should send the Publisher, J. L.

The Inaugural Entertainment and Ball of the Harmonie Ver- ein.—This pleasant affair took place at Harmonie Yerein Hall on the eve ning of the 20th inst. The Harmonie Verein is composed of onr German citi zens, and means, in plain English, a harmony union-, object being mental im provement and social pleasure. On this occasion the hall was very handsomely decorated and brilliantly lighted presenting a fine appearance. At 8 o’clock the exercises commenced with the following inaugural address by the worthy President of the Union, Mr. Simon Engel: Ladiet and Gentlemen, Felloic-Officere and members of the Harmonie Verein:—‘On rising to address you this evening I hope you wifi not think it vanity on my part, in saying that I am proud of doing so as President of the first and only German literary and social organization ever formed in this city. Upon an occasion like tlis it is but meet that the presiding officer should make an in augural address, but not being a profession al speaker, I hope you will bear with me if, as I feel, I should fall far short of the mark in delivering such an address as you are en titled to this evening. Eloquence is not a gift of mine but the best I can do shall be at your service. There is nothing more beneficial to the human family than social intercourse blen ded with literary pursuits. Such ladies and gents is the object of our society. Scarcely six weeks have elapsed since the project to form this association was put in motion. How well we have succeeded, your presence here to-night attest. ’Tis true our members arc but few, but I trust and am satisfied in saying that the material of which they are composed, though small it be, will prove as good in the future as it has done in thepast, and is doing at present. It shall be my aim as President of this body to further to the best of my ability its objects and principles of organization, that of literature and socia bility, in which I have not a doubt I will be ably assisted in and co-operated with by you, my fellow-officers and members, to the full extent of your powers. Let the name of our society be the insignia of our actions, let our watch-word be harmony so that the ship which we have launched upon the troubled waters may make a safe and suc cessful voyage. Ladies and gents, guests of ours, I bid you welcome, thrice welcome, to our social circle. Let me express the hope that this may be the inaugural only of a continued series of your valued visits to our establishments. In con clusion I trust you will pardon me for tax ing your patience so long in listening to my remarks, and accept my thanks for your kind attention to the same. Ma. I. M. Rosenfeld, Vice President of tlie Club followed the Paesident with an original essay on “Charity.” It was delivered with real oratorical effect. The next was a selected essay on “Lit erature” by Mr. Henry Rothc, which he read very well. The intervals be tween these addresses were devoted to vocal and instrumental music by mem bers of the Club. The original song of Mr. Kohn was a rare effusion which elicited much applause. The exercises over, the hall was cleared and the dance begun, which continued until after 2 o’clock. The music was a splendid Italian hand from Savannah. Quite a number of ladies attended the ball, all of whom looked as well as they were capable of, and hence we shall not personate. Our German fellow-citizens can con gratulate themselves on the success of their entertainment; and we hope to see it repeated at no distant day. The various committees and the members of the Harmonie Yerein will please ac cept our thauks for the courtesies ex tended us. W. E.

It is important «hat every member shall be present. Absentees will be rigidly dealt with. By order of the FOREMAN. Tiieo. R. Wardell, Sect’y S. E. Co. A Man Without as Advertisement. Talk about a woman without a baby, a man without a wife, a ship without a rudder. What is the lack of each of these individuals or things to a man without an advertisement. He is a hopeless cuss, a “goner in the com munity.” Talk of being successful in busi ness. You might as well talk of ascending to the moon on a greased moonbeam. People point at him in the street, and say: “Poor Cassius has a lean and hungry look.’ ’ It may, however, be consoling to him to inflect that when he dies he will be advertised at last, and gratuitously at that. After carefully reading one of the circu lars of Wells’ Grand Distribution, which takes place in Bridgeport, Conn., December 10th, 1872, we have become satisfied that it is an enterprise worthy the attention and patronage of all. It is a home affair, endorsed by all the leading citizens of Bridgeport, and the vast amount of property to be given away will afford an opportunity to hundreds of securing Valuable gifts of various kinds, in cluding houses and lots, horses and carriages, bank stock, government bonds, and many articles we have not space to enumerate. All’ are advised to send early to the Great Cen tral Office of Wells’ Grand Distribution, at "Bridgeport, Conn., and secure a handsome Chromo or Engraving, ranging in price from SI to So, and a share in the Grand Distrib ution for each dollars worth of pictures purchaseu. The Templeton Troupe.—This talented Opera Company arrived in the city last Sun day. and opened a series of entertainments on Monday night, at Hopson Hall, to a crowded house, with the charming three-act drama, entitled “Giralda!” concluding with “Parepa Rosa."’ Tuesday evening the play was “Maritana,” which was rendered in regular operatic style. The audience was not exceedingly Urge, but appreciative. Miss Alice Vane, the leading female artist of the company, is too well known to our people to need a formal introduction from ns —suffice it to say, she has lost none of her beauty since the last time she appeared in onr midst, and if anything, her unsurpassed acting has been improved. Little May Templeton is a perfect prodigy, and her superb acting is the surprise of every body. The little folks especially go into ecstacies about her. Miss Gal ton is a fine actress. We think her rendition of the character of the “Queen of Spain,” on Monday night, was exceedingly good. Mr. Eldrid Ryse, the Basso Profundo of the troupe, is a very handsome man on the stage; is an inimitable actor, and has the finest ba83 voice to which we ever listened, But we have not time nor space to say more, only that money spent at John Tem pleton’s show is money saved. General Lee’s Boom. The Nashville Union and American sap: “A gentleman residing in this city, and who returned from the Wash ington and Lee University, of Virginia, relates some pleasant facts connected with the last days of Gen. Lee. He sap that the private room in the University which the General occupied has been left just as it was when he went out of it on the morning he took to his bed, and from which he never arose. The General went into his room at the usual hour that morning, put on his slippers, took a seat near a window, from which he drew the curtain partially back, and began reading a copy of the Nashville Union and American. He had been complaining of feeling unwell, and after reading a short time, he laid the paper on the table and left the room, never more to return. To-day the visitor to the University is shown the room, which he is allowed to enter, but is prohibited from touch ing anything. On the dust-covered table he sees the paper as it dropped from the hand of the great chieftain, and near the chair, which is partly turned around, his slippers. The curtain is in the same position in which the General had placed it, and in the inkstand is the deeply-corroded pen, just as it had been left when last used. A guard is mount ed at the door every day to see that nothing about the room is disturbed by any one visiting it. Here is another Boston notion. A great clothing house, employing many women, was burned out—wages payable on Monday. The women refused to take their wages for fear the firm would be embarrassed. The firm then sent to Boffin’s Bower, and asked Miss Collins to send to them any work girls, whether heretofore employed or not, who might be in need, and they would provide for them. And they further advertised that their pay-roll would be made up Mon day, as usual, and requested their em ployees to come and take their pay. This is the old-fashioned grit that brought out the apostrophes of Webster, and has turned a rock-bound coast into a front of villas and factories. It will do. Special Notice.
