was given in true New York style. Her fears
however, were all for the people, of whom she
was certain many would be hurt in the rushing
and crushing multitude.
The cheers and yells continued for abou, ten
minutes, and then the musicians struck up
.'Hail Columbia" which pu. the crowd in bet
ter humor, and order was partially restored.
Then follow ed the overture to Der Freischutz
which was listened to with excellent attention.
Madame Sontag stood on the balcony during
the performance, waving her welcome to the
crowd.
Now there arose perfect furor among the
crowd for smashing white hats, and dozens Of
men who were unfortunate enough to wear such
head gear were rudely assaulted, and where
sistance was made, were unceremoniouslr knoc-
ksd down. Among those worst used was Gen.
Hall, whose hat was knocked over his eyes half
dozen times.
There were also some scuf1es with the Po-
lice, and several severe blows were given and
received.
All further attempts at music were drowned
by the noise of the crowd. and not even Dod-
worth's Band could get hearing
About this time some Of the musicians were
beset, their instruments broken, music torn up.

This decided the matter. The performers
moved off by force Of the pressure, and soon AZ
ter the Chief of Police appeared with large
force to clear the ground.
Madame Sontag retired, and the lights were
extinSuished in her rooms, and at i o'clock
all was over.
The entire affair was broken up, and al the
disturbance made, in consequence OF some NAL
icious misrepresentation made in the morning
by parties who are adopts in business Of the
kind-at least, this is the only reason alleged
last night for the disgraceful conduct Of the dis

TemDtation.

We have already given brief telegraphic
account of the execution at Mobile of Nathan
Crist. He quite n young man, and his VIC
tim was travelling companion, named Theo-
dore Nye. 1t seems that the wretched culprit
was tempted to the deed by avariee. Nye told
him that he had large sum of money, and the
idea of the murder Immediately entered his
brain. They travelled together from New Or
leans to Mobile, Crst intending to commit the
deed on the way, but his heart failed him, and
he abandoned the idea entirely. His confession
proceeds as follows:-
l then determined to go to Montgomery on
the same day of arrival here, but when went
to the New Orleans boat for my baggage the
servant who had charge of it was away, and
could not get it. When L returned to the ho-
tel that time, the devil again put it into my
head to kill Nye. went and bought a hammer
resolving to execute my purpose during the
night but my heart failed me ; and on the NOR
ming of the Goth L arose, again determined to
give it up altogether. L left my room early,
Nye being asleep, having been out the night be-
fore. Two three times before breakfast |
went to the room to kill him. but could not do
it till ate breakfast and went again up to our
room and told him to ''get up and come and eat
his breakfast" and left the room
After while started up stairs again, with
out any idea of murder, but when 1 entered the
room, Nye being still in bed, the first object
that met my eye was the accursed hammer
which had parchased. In moment-in what
seems now whirl of derangement-Is seized the
hammer and strove to bury it in his temple
He said not hing afterwards and made no noise,
but seemed struggling to move himself. 1 took
towel and tied it tightly about his throat. and
then searched for money, under the pillow and
in his pockets. Being disappointed, l went
down stairs, paid our bills, and asked for the
package Nye had deposited. Failing to get that
1 went directly to the New Orleans boat, got my
baggage, and went on board the Lowndes.

men citizens of Frogtown, will you stand by

Don't thee, don't thee strike my dog, Dea-
con Pugh |" cried Abraham Miller, advancing
to the Deacon, who was about to cut right and
left among the dogs, with his cane.
'sYour dogs !'' shouted the Deacon, with evi-
dent fervor.
~s.Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh J" echoed the
speaker.
..What did you say so for then go shouted the
Deacon.
'I never said dogs, Deacon Pugh."
'sYou did :" responded the Deacon, with ex-
ctement.

said the Quaker.

Grated Abraham.
sYou-you-you tell an internal lie % bawled
the Deacon
ssThee hast provoked my evil passions, Dea-
con Pugh !" shouted the stalwart Quaker, ''and
will chastise ~
And into the Deacons wool went the Quaker.
The Deacon nothing 10th, entered into the spirit
of the thing and we leave them thus snip and
tuck to look to the stranger and Boo Carter,
who fit and fought, fought and fit, until Squire
Catchem and the town constable came up; and
in their attempt to preserve the peace and ar
rest the offenders, the Squire was thrust through
the window of neighborng matchmaker, do
ing a heap of damage while Lawyer Hooker,
in attempting to aid the constable, was hit in a
mistake, by the furious blacksmith, in the short
ribs, and went reeling down Gumbo's cellar with
frightful velocity The friends and fellow
churchmen of Deacon Pugh, took sides against
the Quaker antagonist, and the shop-boys of
Abraham, seeing their employer thus beset
came to the rescue; while brace of stray Irish
men, full of valor and whiskey, believing it to
be ''free fight" tried their hands and sticks
upon the combatants indiscriminately so that
in less than one hour, the quiet and happy town
of Frogtown, was shaken from its propriety, by
one grand sublimely ridiculous and terrific bat
tie. Heads and windows were smashed-chil
dren and women ran, screeched and screened
dogs barked-dust few-labor ceased-and so
furious, mad and excited became the whole COM
munity, that quiet looker-on, if there had been
any, would have sworn the evil place had bro
ken loose, and the evil ones were all in Frog
town. A heavy thunder storm, finally, put an
end to the row ; the dogs were all more or less,
killed child severely wounded, man scald-
ed wagon broken, the horse ran himself to death
his owner was beaten awfully by Bob Carter,
whose wife, and the the wives of many others,
were dangerously scared the painter Grip

Lawyer Hooker, Squire Catchem, and some ff-
