A Concert OF vocal and instrumental mu-
sic will be given one evening next week by
the philharmonic Society" Of this city and
several other accomplished ladies and gen.
tlemPn who have kindly volunteered, Tor the
benefit Of Mrs Harriet Lilly; and as the oc-
casion is one which appeals at once to the
good taste, the liberality and the home pride
Of our citizens, II is TO be hoped that full
house will attest that no one of these quail.
ties can, among us, be appealed to in vain,
Mr.. Schneider who Is well known as an
accomplished Musician has generously con.
sented to be director Of the concert.
Itis the experience Of all who have given
any attention 10 the snbisct that the finest
musical feasts ever offered to Lancaster
audience have been the concerts Of the pro-
fessional and amateur musicians Of our own
city, and we should therefore be jealousy
careful not to neglect an occasion when we
can manifest our appreciation oftheir pro-
ficiency or when by our presence and the
expenditure Of little money, we can en-
courage the talent and applaud the taste Of
those Of whose musical accomplishments we
have such Just reason TO be proud.
The present is peculiarly an occasion for
the exercise Of our liberaIity. Mrs. Lilly,
one Of the best educated musicians Of the
West, has pursued her profession OF music.
teacher in our midst for many years with
fsilhfuness and ability seldom equalled; her
standard of excellence in music being high,
she has skillfulIy cultivated the taste and
developed the talent of the numerous pupils
committed 10 her care. She can point with
satisfaction If not with pride to these fruits
of her Efforts. She has done her part and
done il well. Have we as citizens dOne ours
in returni This is question which il is TO be
hoped every lady and gentleman will pnt TO
themselves and to their neigbbors--sHd then
all meet at the concert room to bear the an-
swer.
live wish TO foster music among US
which. next to religion, is the great ciyilizer
and hnmanizer Of Society-we must award
to those who devote themselves exclusively
TO its cultivation and diffusion, at least fair
compensation for their time and labor
This SO far we have not done. Let us show
that we are willing to begin.
I But in addition to this view which ap-
peais to our justice and enlightened self-in-
terest, there is another thqt must not be o.
mitted, and that is, that the concert viii in
| itself be rare treat. The pieces have been
selected with care, due regard being had
both to the deectation of the most refined
taste and the amusement and pleasure of all.
! Master Edward Lilly whose Precocious
musica! talent has attracted so much atten-
tiun will take part in the performances. He
has made rapid progress in musical acquire
ment within the last year.

WANTS HIS LAND WARRANT.-In the
Creek war, portion Of those Indians who
were friendly to the whites, and have receiv-
ed Bounty Land Warrants for services, but
occasionIy one of the wrong side of the
question puts in his claim, most ignorantly
but with great faith in getting it.
A short time since renowned Halo Of
the Creek nation, requested the services of
one of our attorneys whilst travelling in the
Indian country, in procuring his Land War
rant from the Department. The lawyer
was delighted at the prospect of good fee; /;
the Indian promising him half the worth of
the warrant, in the event Of it being OBJ
tanned. The lawyer wished to know of his
employer the service he had performed.
Don't know talk like dis said the Indian.
well. who did you fight UNDER asked the
lawyer.
Me fight under log said Halo.
mo. but who was your captain the law
yer inquired
me big man, me captain too answered
the Indian.
4 want to know where you fought" said
the lawyer, 'at what battler
me fight heap, me shoot hind tree, me
shoot under bank river, shoot gun heap
said the Indian.
well, what did you shoot at asked the
lawyer, thinking that he would defer further
questions till all interpreter could be pro.
cured.
Me shoot at Giasral Jackson tree four times,
replied the Warrant wanter.

THE "OLDEsr IEHABlTASr."-On the 18th
ult., died, en- the plantation of Edmund B.
Richardson, in Baden county, N. c., Judy,
slave, aged one hundred and ten years
She was one of the eight slaves who, nearly
sixty years ago, were the first settlers on
the plantation where she died, within one
mile of the Cape Fear River. OF the other
seven, one died over 30 yearsof age another
%, and third 81. Two are yet living, one
rs and the other over 60 years Of age. With
in FIVE miles of the place where Judy died

A FEW years since, when the Rev. Dr..
Hawks, the celebrated Episcopal clergy
man, was about leaving New York for the
South, he was waited upon by the vestry-
men of small church of fWestchester coun-
ty and urgently solicited to take charge of
the same. The Rev. Doctor graciously re.
ceived the committee, but respectfully de-
clined the proposition. urging as chief
objection, that the salary, though large for
the parish they represented. would be inad-
equate for his expenses. having a consider
able family Of small children to educate and
provide for. One of the committee replied:
"The Lord will take care of them; he has
promised to hear the young ravens when
they cry, and to provide for them"
"Very true" said the reverend gentle
man; "but he has not promised to provide
for the young hawks"

a BEAUTIFUL MoRAL.-We find in an ex-
change the following simple and touching
paragraph. There is wealth of beauty in it,
and moral on which many and many
word might be said and lesson taught:
"God will take care of Baby" A beautiful
infant had been taught to say it, and it could
say little else. "God will take care Of Ba-
by" II was seized with sickness, at a time
when both parents were just recovering from
dangerous illness. Every day it grew
worse, and at last was given up 10 die.
Almost agonized, the mother begged to be
carried into the room of her darling, to give
1t one last embrace. Both parents succeed
ed in reaching the apartment, Just as it was
thought the baby had breathed its last. The
mother wept aloud, when once more the lit
tie creature opened it's eyes, looking Il wing
ay up in her face, smiled, moved its lips, and
lin afaintvoioe said, "God will take care OF
baby" Sweet consoling words! they hard
ay ceased when the infant spirit was in H cav
en-.

FALSE THuEpER.-The democratic pa
pers throughout the State Gncluding that
flimsey thing, known as the Ohio States
man. are Growing nightly over the recent
victory, achieved in this State. Permit US TO
tell you, gentleman of the democratic press,
that YOU are entirely bldmeless in this victory,
With a few honorable exceptions, did you
not only ignore the great issue upon which
this triumph is based. but you utterly refused
to make it plank in your platform or to say
one word directly bearing upon the subject.
You may declare it democratic victory, but
the People will know better, and pronounce
il glorious ANTI-MAINE LAW TRf.

MAIL DEPREpArIoN.-At Cleveland, on
Thursday, mail bag was found in a freight
car, with large number Of opened letters,
which, from the evidences, was dispatched
from New York on the 18th October, for
indianapolis. The bill accompanying the bag
calls for ninety.seven letters, none Of which
are missing. All but IL letters are broken
open, and It is little singular that every
letter was opened with care, and the con-
tents returned in each instance to the right
envelop.

POPULATIONS OF THE TURKISH ENTIRE. =
We are constantly told of twelve millions
of Greeks domineered over by four millions
of Turks. The proportions are not correct
" given, even il we confne ourselves 10
European Turkey alone. In this estimate
are given the whole Greek population, in all
the domnions of the Sultan, whilst the Mus
suman numbers are only those Of Europe.
The latest authority upon the statistics Of
the population Of the whole Turkish En-
pre is work just ublished in Paris by A.
Ubicini. He gives the numbers as follows:
Religions. Europe. Asia. Africa
Mussulmans, 1850, 900 12,65O,OoO $500, 900

TIE MoRMoNITEs IN WALEs.-The ranks
of the adherents to Mormonism are at pre-
sent being greatly strengthened, especially
in Cqrmarthenshire, Glamorgan shire, and
other important districts in South Wales
Numbers of these people have lately joined
the sect. including many persons OF high
respectablity aud middle class station. A
well known Welsh lecturer, named Bobyn
Dhu, whose influence with the people is
very great, has lately joined the ranks, and
his eloquence seems irresistible. Immense
numbers have lately left South Wales fol
the Salt Lake, and many others are now
preparing for departure in the spring.

DisoBEDIEEcE TO PAREKTs.-Youn0 man,
Is that your Fatherl How could yon make
Use Of language so dIsrespectfull "You
don't carel You will talk as you please no
matter who hears you'll" II we weee in
want of a clerk, and there was not another
young man within ten hundred miles, that
we could engage, we would not consent to
take you. We should be afraid to trust n
boy who is disobedent to his parents--who
shows so little respect for his father. A
youth who was 80 saucy to his parents, we
never knew to turn out well. He respects
nobody. II your father Is In the wrong and
you are certain Of it, that is no excuse for
such language. No one will respect you for
il. Everybody will condemn you. A parent
should be treated with respect by his child
ren; no matter how poor he may be, or
how large his family may have grown.
TheresiEtoo little respect paid to rental
authority at the present day. 1t is grievous
to go into many families, and hear the Ian
guage daily used by the children-"I will"
81 WON'T" 81 don't care,' "its none Of
your business, | am old enough to know
what is right" and the like expressions, are
painfully common. Large boys, and grown
up girls, even, do not hesitate to give their
mother the lie, and break away from their
express commands. They will do as they
please, and go where they have mind. We
wish such children could only see how they
appear in the eyes Of their acquaintances,
and If they have any shame, it must flush
their cheeks. There is truth as we'll as
rhyme in a couplet by John Randolph:
Whosoever makes his parents heart 20 bleed,
Shall havea child that will revenge tha deed"
Of one thing be certain-an undutiful son
and dsobedient daughtet cannot long pros
per. For season they may appear we'll
to the eye of a stranger, but their self-will
and stubbornness are soon discovered, and
they are dispised. A child who disobeys
his parents, will not hesitate to abuse any
body. Neither age nor talents received re-
spect from him.

THE BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC ScHooLs.-Mr.
Randall, the Superintendent of Public
Schools of New York, has given decision
relative to the reading of the Protestant
version of the Bible in the public schools. 1t
appears that Catholic had been sending
one Of his children to a school in Washing
ton county, in that Statei that the boy was
requested to read the Bible, (King James's
translation, )in,opposition to the express COM
mands of his parents. The pupil chose to
obey his father and mother rather than his
schoo.master. The schoolmaster then chas-
tised him Tor his contumacy Thereopon the
parents appealed to the superintendent as
to the right of the schoolmaster to compel
Catholic TO read Protestant Bible. The
superinte ndent decided in favor ofthe Catho-
lie
