THE HARMoNEoNs. The first concert of
these gentlemen, on Saturday night, at Cal
vert Hail. was quite fasllionably attended,
They gave the most unbounded satisfaction
"1he Widowed Mother to her Child, =" "The
Grave of Washington" and Gle led her to
the Altar" all songs embodyng the purest
sentiment, were sung with real pathos, and
elected iapturous applause. The bachanaan
gee Lets be Gay" as sung by Mr.. Crosby
is the most laughter-provoking effort that we
ever listened to. They give another aud final
entertainment at the same place this evening,
and we advise all who do not wish TO lose a
good thing, by no means to be absent if they
wish
"Mirh, that wrinkIed care derides,
And laughter, holding both her Sides,
let them spend one night with the Harmonious.
MURDER IN lLLMoIs.-.More Lynch Ld,c.
/ A man named Oliver Norris, at York, ILL., was
sometime since, charged with being accessory
to the stealing Of horse, on which he was
seized, tiogged and ducked in the river, when
the lynchers assured him that if he would dis
close tho name of his accomplice, they would
release him. He thereupon named several re-
spectacle citizens, among whom were John G..
Long and r. G. Wade, Immediately on be-
ing released, Norris and wife went to Russell
vile where he admitted that he had slandered
| these men. A few days ago, Long and Wade
proceeded to Russelville in order to drive Nor
ris from the place. They met him in the
street, about to leave--nlade him give up a
pistol he had, then shot him dead, and escaped.
DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE STORM. We
learn from the Norfolk Courier that very re-
spectacle resident of the vicinity of Motifs Is
land, Currituck county, N. c., arrived in Nor
folk OH Saturday morning, who states that the
effects of the late storm were most awfulIv ex- |
perienced on that part of the coast. He says
that so families were drowned on Motifs Is
land, and 1000 head of cattle destroyed, The |
wild fowl suffered most severely-wild geese
might be taken in almost any quantity-some
killed, Others so much crippled as to be easily
seized, being unable to escape.
EXPLOSION AND PROBABLE Loss OF LIFE. |
The boiler of a steam engine in an oil, varnish !
and paint factory, in Chelsea, near Boston, en-
ploded on Monday forenoon, with tremendous
report, which was heard at the distance of two
miles. Fire was communicated to the build
ing, and it was almost instantly in flames, and
was soon entirely consumed. There were two
men in the room at the time, and one of them
is so badly burned that he is not expected to
recover. The other also lies in critical stua-
ton.
CoLoRED CONTENTION. 1t is proposed by
the colored people to hold National Conyen-
ton, some time next summer, in Cleveland
Ohio. The object is to concentrate opinion a.
mong themselves upon some plan of colonial
ton. Some of them think of asking for a part
of Oregon.
MIKE WALSH. The sentence of this ind-
vidual to six months Imprisonment in the PEN
itentary has created considerable stir among
his friends in New York, who held a large
meeting in the Park on Thursday, to take mea-
sures to carry the case to higher tribu nal
Several speeches were made.
SUDDEN DEArH, Henry C. Mayer was re-
Gently found dead in his bed at Rochester, N.
Y. The deceased was the son of Charles F.
Mayer, of Baltimore, and son-in-law of James
w. McCulloch, Esq, first Comptroller of the
Treasury at Washington, and highly respected
by all who knew him.
REVOLUTIONARY MONUMENT. 1t is proposed
by the citizens of Wilmington to erect a gra-
mite shaft one hundred feet high 10 the Will
mington and Brandywine Cemetery, as a mo.
nument in memory Of those brave men Of the
Delaware Line, who fell in the Revolution
The site selected is very commanding one
and when the shaft is reared it will be a con-
spicuous object.
