The CoScERr.-We are happy to
say that the Concert of the Philharmonic
Society, on Tuesday evening, with its atten-
dant circumstance Of the opening of the Me
tropolitan Hall, was . very decided success.
The fine proportions and arrangements Of
the hall were we'll set off by an illumina
ton and an audience equally brilliant, and
it must have been great satisfaction to
the proprietors to find that the adaptation
of the room to the developement of sound
was perfect.
The concert was, in our judgement, q We
ry great improvement upon any former
public effort of the society. We can Meth
er speak of it with indiscriminate praise no,
Judge it by the rules ofprofesslonal criticism
There is great danger of applying to per
formances of this class either too high or to<
low standard.
1t would be foolish and unjust to require
the perfection of Italian opera, and on tn,
other hand those who relish only the pop
ulars banjo arrangement will find the selec
tions OF the society too classical for thei
enjoyment
The aim of the association Is to ewltivat
their own musical taste, and that of tn
public. We listened through the entir
programme with pleasure, and though

formance was faultless, yet the evident rate
of improvement is go encouraging that We
will refer only to thoss pieees which gave
unmi xed satisfaction.
Mr.. strasser played his violin in the in
strumentsl Trio with great 6rmness and
precision, and the entire. piece was beauti-
fully done.
Mr.. Snyder was encored in the Aria from

The Scena and Aria, from Der Freischu-
IT, were given in q manner seldom heard
at amateur concerts, and showed the etfec!
Of cultivation on rich, natural voice and
fine taste.
The song, I am Merry Mountain
Child was chsrmingly sung BY voice
which is one Of the great attractions Of the
society's concerts.

ciferous encore. - did also the Tyrolese

ner. But the gem Of the evening was that
famous madrigal, See the Chariot at hand
the most exquisite wild music that ever stir
red the memory OF. the heart of man. and was
sung with q delicacy, sweetness, precision
and power which promised great things for
the future excellence of the society.
Mr.. Chas Davie deserves the highest
credit for the talent, the energy and the per-
severance which alone could have accom-
plished such results, and nothing is wanting
but the continued appreciation and support
of the public to make the Philharmonic So

light to the city Of Davenport.

The Democrat, which claims that ita

in Muscatine and that he saw the editor OF
the Journal take some oft without a mur.

dent should be well "paid for such lying.

the editor of the journal, and to show you
that your correspondent is ever on the alert
in order that that he may earn the munifi

That while sitting in the store of r. NJ.

said editor of the Journal came into said

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-Col.
G. s. Moore, an old citizen, who occupied
the corner of Main and Front streets, was
employed by man whose name We did not
learn, to weld gun barrel to shovel, or
rather make handle to shovel, and made
a bargain for the same for ten cents About
one minute after the blacksmith put the
gun barrel in the fire, for heating, there
was an explosion. The person who brought
the barrel. to the blacksmith, said that he
had used that same barrel frequently as a
poker, but he probably used the ,other end.
The explosion was very heavy, but no one
was injured, though there were many per.
sons in the shop at the time. The black.
smith thinks the man who brought the bar.
reli is entirely innocent of any intention to dc
