A PRESIDENTIAL TIcKET.-A democratic editor
in Georgia is so much pleased with Charles o.
Connor's recent speech eulogistic of Slavery,
that he hoists his name for president--a very
empty and cheap compliment, inasmuch as by
the Constitution no "furriner' however distin-
guished can fill that office. The New York
Ecening Post suggests much better and every
way more suitable ticket for some of our DEM
ocrats, to wit for President, BRIGHAM YouNGi
for Vice President, DANIEL f. STCKELs.

The Boston Traveller says: The small pox
still continues its rayage in the vicinity of Bos-
ton, though the deaths are few in comparison
with the number of cases. Hardly town is
free from the infection. In Newton, large
number have contracted the disorder, and in
one case man upwards of eighty years of age
is now convalescent from severe attack. In
Watertown many are suffering from either small
pox or varioloid. In Needham there are num-
Der sick, in one case an infant taking the nfec-
ton who had been in no way exposed to the
disorder, which is apparently carried about I'M

SUSPECTED MURDER AND ARREST OF THE CRIMI-
SALs-The body of Ezra Parsons, a native of Reads
boro but for several years resident in Charlemont
Ms, found lying beside of the road near George
Lathrop's house in IIawley, Saturday the sth inst
An inquest was held by Coroner Potter of Charlemont
and the jury rendered verdict that the cause of his
death was not known. Subsequent events, how ever,
indicated that he might have been murdered and rob
bed as it had been known in Charemont and vicinity,
for weeks that the deceased was to receive about
sl6O on mortgage due him in Readsboro and Charles
johnson and Windsor jackson, two coored men, who
had resided in Charlemont for few months past were
arrested on suspicion of being the murderers and com.
mited to Jail in Greenfield, on the 10th.
There was full examination before Justice W. T.
Davis last week, from which it appears that Parsons
went to Johnsons house Saturday the 9TH, and got
drunk there, and that in the evening johnson and
jackson tumbled him into sleigh, and carried him
to where he found by the roadside the next day
and there left him. Whether he was dead or only dead
drunk at this time is uncertain Jackson who makes
confession believes he was alive when they took him
from the house. The medical and other Testimony

Tur BAND CONCERT AND LEvEE.-Thc entertain
ment to which our citizens were invited on Tuesday
evening, and which invitation was so generally re-
sponded to, was pleasant and agreeable to an unex-
pected degree. Those who had an nkling Of what
was going on drew largely in anticipation, but their
drafts were all honored. The music was Of course,
excellent, if rot the best in the world at least the
best to which our people have the pleasure of listen
inr Under the excellent drill Of Mr. Schuster a neat
ness of execution and precision has been acquired
that adds greatly to the effect, particularly in concert
music. The Concert opened with an Overture by the
Band which was succeeded by atableau representing
Night and Morning In this manner constantly alter
mating between hearing and seeing the evenings en-
tertainmcnt proceeded. There fourteen tabeaux
some Of which were particularly well executed and
called forth frequent applause. Among which may
be named the Italian Scene and the School Of Design
The latter represented two statues in position and
collection of prsts studying and copying their bcau-
tfu proportions The disposition Of the persons and
dupery of those representing these statues, was re-
markuby effective. We might speak of other pieces
and make mention of those who kindly consented to
take part in the exhibition, but partial mention
would appear invidous, and to do justice to all our
space is not sufficiently ample.
The ladies of the village very generously furnished
an ample variety of refreshments for the occasion, and
to the ladies we are indebted for much of the interest
of the affair As the proceeds were to be devoted to
the purchase of new instruments our people WHO have
so often been entertained By the Band turned out
freely and filed the Town Hall. We are warranted
in saying they returned satisfied with their Investment.
The net receipts amounted to about sl7J.
