OLE BULLS SECOND CONCERT.

The second and last concert of OLE
BULL, the philanthropist, gentleman, and
finished artist, will take place tonight at
Carusi's Saloon. While we write, the
sky is covered with dark clouds which
with open windows are deluging the earth
with rain this betokens disagreeable
evening. But when the good cause in
which Ole is engaged is remembered; the
nobleness of soul with which he devotes
his best years and best energies to relieve
his distressed countrymen is thought of;
and the rich treat offered is considered,
the true lover of music and sincere friend
of those who struggle for the good Of
mankind, should not be deferred from con.
tributing their mite in aid of good cause.
The programme offered on this occa-
sion is a gem. As it is but seldom that
our readers have chance to hear such per-
formers as Bull, Strakosch and Patti, let
them improve the opportunity.

80. Senator Toombs is out in the Augusta
Sentinel in severe letter in answer to Sec
rotary Davis.
.... The veteran Andrew Jackson Allen,
father of the American stage, died in New
York, on Saturday, October 29, aged n years.
Mr.. Allen has of late years attained much
celebrity as theatrical costumer. He first
appeared on the stage in 1888, as boy in the
procession in Romeo and Juliet" One of
his great characters was "Goldfnch, - in THE
Road to Ruin He was an honest man and
a devoted friend. A large circle Of acquaint-
ances throughout the Union will deplore his
loss.
go. W. W. Coreoran, Esq, of this city, is
in New York, at the Metropolitan hotel. A.
H. Dodge, Esq of Georgetown, is at the
Astor House.
go. At Carthage, Miss, last week, at a
public discussion, a fight took place between
Col McClung and Mr.. Singleton, rival candi-
dates for Congress. McCluns kicked Single
ton, causing much excitement. Friends inter
fered and separated the belligerents, when
McClung proceeded with his speech
-. The DailylRegister, the organ of the
Philadelphia abolitionists, says In the pres
ent position ofparties in the Ohio Legislature,
the reelection of S. P Chase to the Senate
may be looked on as impossible. Nor can
William Allen hope to concentrate the vote
of his party. 1t is probable that some
thorough going Anti Bronson, Anti Coalition,
Anti-Free Soiler, Anti Slavery, and
Pro-Pieroe man will be nominated.
go. Miss Lucy Stone is lecturing to very
large audiences in Louisville. The Courier
speaking of her lectures, says The lecture
we can unhesitatingly say was chuck fall of
common sense, that being its peculiar and
most pleasing feature. Miss Stone is most
certainly an extraordinary woman, and pos
sessed of powers Of extempore address, rarely
the birth right or acquired property of even
celebrated male orators.
80. Richard Mckim Duncan, who commit
ted suicide in Pittsburg, on the 4th inst. was

We understand that concerted and
very general movement will probably
soon be made to obtain from Congress
efficient legislation, by way of regulating
the charges Of the Washington City Gas
Company, fixing reasonable maximum
Of rates, and mulcting the Company in
damages for taking pay for gas which has
not been consumed by the payer, when
ever the latter may be able to show, by
proper testimony, that pay has been ex-
acted from him for more than he has
used. At present, the price charged is
enormously extravagant-S4 per 1000
feet. In Wilmington, Delaware, where
1t cannot be furnished for penny less
than in Washington, the proprietors of
the gas works are well content with So
per 1000 feet.
