Concert.--The musical entertainment an
nounced by the Beethoven Orchestra for Fri
day evening last, came off per programme,
before large audience, and judging from the
good attention and interest manifested du-
ring the entire performance, gave good salts
faction to all. The music, both instrumental
and vocal, consisted of general medley OF
choice pieces, performed in excellent taste,
and in manner worthy of the reputation this
Amateur Company have justly earned, and
seem fully determined to sustain. Part third
of their performance defies description. 1t
was of that peculiar nature that can be wit
messed but not described Suffice it to say,
SouIBoB fully sustained his reputation as a
wag of the first water, and that the rather
unique dresses Of the entire corps threw halo
Of awe, mirth and undescribableness, all blend
ed together over the entire audience, and set
some thinking, We'll warrant, of the COM
pany they will be obliged to keep hereafter, if
they do not mend their ways. Viewing the
matter in this light, this part of the perform
ance may be the means of an infinite amount
of good.

determined Attempts at Suicide.-A young
man, THEODORE JOHNSON of this place, lately
made two determined, yet unsuccessful, at
tempts to destroy his own life. Last Friday
he procured some laudanum, and going a
short distance out Of the village found q re-
tired spot when he took his lsudanum, and
then laid down to sleep, with the hope, as h
expressed it, Of never Weakening. But it
seems that he took so much as to make him
sick, throwing it all up. He laid out all
night vainly hoping that it would operate
When morning came he returned to the vii
lage, got his breakfast, procured some more
laudanum and went up to the bxying- ground
just west of the town, to make another at
tempt. In the meanwhile the suspicious of
his friends had been aroused by his singular
behavior. The fact ofhis being out all night,
thing he never done before; his giving his
pocket knife to friend, with the remark that
ne was going to the Peak, and should proba-
bly, never see him again, when it was well
had tendency to arouse suspicious that all
was not right, and these were strengthened
when it was found out that he had been pro-
curing laudanum. A few persons immediate
ly started in search of him, and about four
o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, found him.
He had taken part of it, enough SO that he
was wild and drowsy, and when found was
looking for place where he might lie down
and take the balance. He was prevailed up
on 60 home, and promise has been obtain
cd from him, that he will not make another
attempt. When found his only regret SEEM
ed to be that he had failed in his purpose,
which he said he should not have done had
the landanum been good for any thing. The
only reason he gives for this rash act, is, that
he has nothing to live for; and that he has
incurred liabilities he has not the means of
canceling. He has always enjoyed the rep
utation Of being steady, industrious and
moral young man.

Rat. fcation Meeting.-It will be seen that
tn. Rep. Cen. Com. have issued call for
a Grand Ratification Meeting, to be held at
Waterloo, June I'd. Let Cedar Falls, and
every Town in the County be well represen-

the enthusiasm that is to sweep up the Val
ley of the Cedar this fall, with rcsstless force
that will completely demolish what little De-
mocracy there is left in this section.

Nean.-Some low. mean despicable wretch
es took occasion to vent their spite on the
Chicago nominees, and the Republicans of
this place, by spiking the Town Cannon,
which was being used to fire salute in hon.
or of "Old ABE" and HAML1N, last Saturday
evening. Two salutes had been fired, when
the operators adjourned to the meeting of
the Club, intending to complete the salute,
after the adjournment of that body, but were
prevented from doing so by some senseless
fool, or fools, having in the mean time spiked
the piece. What brave trick fiat vas |;
mustn't some one feel grand; Crawling and
shocking around in the dark and driving a
rat-tailed file in the printing hole. We
suppose that they had just about sense
enough to suppose that if they could prevent
the iron throat of the little Town Cannon
from speaking forth the joyful news, they
would thereby prevent the success of the
Republican ticket this fall. Those who done
this gallant deed deserve, and enjoy, the
hearty contempt Of all sensible and honor
able men, whether Democrats or Republicans

Prospects Of Crops.-On Sunday
last this region was visited by very fine
shower Of rain, which was much needed, and
which resulted in vastly improving the pros
poets of crops. Although for years so severe
. dronth has not been known, vegetation Of
all kinds is now looking finely, and in very
prosperous condition, with crops Of all kinds
promising an abundant harvest. Again on
Tuesday morning another fine shower visi-
ted us, and received a hearty welcome from
all. The general opinion Of the farmers
seems to be that the prospects for rich har-
vest never were better. A good crop this
fall would in great measure restore the
good old days of yorc, and we look forward
to it with anxious hearts and eager expecta-
ton. ).
Latest.-Last night, about 10 o'clock, we
had terrific thunder shower, accompanied
by q hail storm. We do not remember Of
ever witnessing harder storm, than ragged
for short time. The lightning was SO in
cessant that the night appeared livid sheet
Of fame, while the thunder kept up contin-
ual roar, and the rain and hail beat with .
force that was truly ferocious. The hail
stones, which were very large, did consider
able damage to vines, and young vegetation
generally. An immense Quantity of water
fell, and Is it has come of warm and pleas

The Charleston Convention

CHARLESTON, April 27.-An intense excite.
ment exists. A large crowd has collected in
front of the Mills House, listening to disunion
speeches. The crowd rushed into the room OF
the New York delegation, but were driven out
by the police.
The minority, or compromise report, will
be adopted by $50 votes. Five states will
bolt, and nominate Davis or Lane and Wood.
Douglas friends predict his nomination to-
morrow. He has % votes in the New York
delegation, including Dean Richmond, Bel
mont, Stevens, Ludlow, Church. and the
western members. Cochrane, Butterworth,
Fowler, and Barlow, are against him, but the
delegation votes as a unit.
The New York delegation have rejected the
platform by large majority. All but Ryn-
ders, Fowler, Jewett, and a few office holders,
favored the minority report, for which John
Cochrane voted. A committee was appointed
to prepare New York platform, to be sub
milted as a substitute. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey did not sign the minority report.
They are preparing a substitute.

ture movements. Without question, his gov
ernment is suffering for want of money. Fore
ed loans are being levied in every direction for
immediate necessaries. The British and
French ministers are busy with plans Of COM
promise and seeking to draw in McLane. The
Government at Vera Cruz is greatly embar-
rassed by the exhausted condition OF the
