crowded, distinguished, and brilliant audience Having
lad the pleasure TO hsar Madame Abon in New York,
where, as is well known, her concerts have had
an almost unprecedented success. we shall be sur
uised the general sentiment here shall not award
n her The distinction of the most delightful vo-
caist who has sung in this country--wilh the pos.
sibIe exception of Jenny Lind. She is regarded at
this moment Of the very most eminent vocalss,
and altogether the eminent eonaiio in Europe Her
voice IFS unwom freshness. richness aad Depth has
an nexpressble charn, and her execution is singuary
perfect and iacle, The grace and ease with which she
undertakes and conquers the most formidable musical
difficulties only equaed in effect by the power and
pahos with which she renders passages and pieces OF
simpler character. sH
The artists who accompany and assist her--Sgnor Ro-

We perceive that Madame Alboni proposes at present
to give only two concerts in city but as many
more persons than Carusi's Saloon can accommodate

REPORTED INSANITY OF Ma. GREEsouGH.-The feel
ngs OF this community have been painfully shocked by
reading the following despatch in this mornings papers
"wAsHINGroS. Friday. De. 10.
"lnmation has been received that eenough, the
American sculptor, Is confirmed unatc"
There are many reasons why we are not disposed TO
credit this dreadful story In the first place, Mr. Green
ough is with his family, in Boston. where he has been
quite recently engaged delivering course oil lectures
The despatch from Washington, and quotes
port received from other quarter, IL does not say
whence nor does either OF the channels through
which il passed before il reached this city
Wea inclined to think that an event OF such uni-
yersa would not travel from Boston by way Of
Washington TO New York, but would be very likely to
reach this city directly, and before it at all
generally known in Boston
In the next place, Mr. Greenough was in the enjoy
ment of fine health, which was the result as well OF
prudence az of a good constitution and there
nothing in his habits or his way OF life 10 supernduce the
distressing catastrophe OF which he reported TO be
victim
Again we can hardly suppose that an authentic an
houncemen OF such an event would have been made 10
The public, which did not give some particulars relative
10 the date, the cause, and the violence OF the repued
iness, well as the disposition which had been made
Of The invalid
All these circumstances incline us 10 doubt the report
altogether and to impute il either TO some wicked i'm
pulse on the part OF the one who originated II, or else 10
mistake which has resulted from conioundipg some
person who bore Greenoughs name with the dstln-
guished artist
The report certainly needs confirmation and we trust
With all our hearts II ever may.-N. 4. EUsning Post
Wcarc happy 10 learn from the New York papers OF yes
le'day aud from private sources that Mr. Sche chairman
OF the New York republican general committee, OF whose
death from wounds received at the hands OF ufbans,
while presiding at meeting Of the committee had been
umored was considered OF danger, though still sui
ieing extremely from the injuries received.
10 consequence Of his continued Illness the adjourned
meeting othe committee. which TO have been held
on Wednesday evening was further postponed.
Meanwhile, h, assault on Mr.. ScheIl and his assoc
aes OF the committee has been brought 10 the notice OF
he grand jury by the recorder Of New York. We trust
he perpetrators Of the outrage may be dealt with to the
extreme rgor OF the law, and that all the facts connected
with i may, without fear or favor, be brought to light
