Tie CONCERT The Concert on last
Saturday evening went off happily, and
to the entire satisfaction Of oil present.
The programme consisted of Glccs, 81.
prano Solos, Quartetta, Piano. Duets, and
Guitar Solos. Tho songs were very Cine,
showing excellent taste in the selections.
and the singers acquitted themselves
handsomely. We observed that the ma.
jority OF those who sang were new hands
at the wheel, turning for public admira.
ton, All they would have asked in the
world would have been, an insurance OF
success; but they did nobly, and will no
doubt feel more confident the next time.
"Batti," "Batti,' from Mozart, was
sung by Bliss Stillman in admirable style,
also, Sweet Heart, by the same lady,
Miss s. is quito a f%avoritc with the mu-
sic-lovers of Ashland. Miss Allen sang
"Ava Maria," from Cherubiui, in excel.
lent style. The prospect is very hopeful
Tor Miss A. ooh Rosy Morn was sweet
" sung by Miss franklin, but for tic
want OF confidence in her own abilities
she evidently thought it was cloudy eve
Miss Ada Baker sang Robin Red Breast
and SO we'll that al times one would think
1t a tender bird singing its own song
There is no ~masculinity in Miss BIS TEN

burn and Miss Gorham was brilliant ant
brought down the house, "What phras,
sad and soft" was we'll sung, Miss Mary
Curtiss carrying LIST soprano. Miss Curtis
has a bright propect before her, musical
", if she perscveres under such teacher
as Mr. Baker. Mrs Smith sang the 2,
soprano, which was well done. The con
cert was a very interesting one, for tn.
reason that the music was selected, no
for the audience, bu' forthe improvement
Of The voices and tastes Of the students q
the School.
We understand that the closing Con
cert will bc or Friday evening, the 25t
of August, when the great OANTATA 0

What is'to become of these poor crea-
lures in the future is a question still I'm.
solved and filed with the most serious and
painful suggestions.
We can state, on the authority of one
of our ablcst physicians, that the average
deaths amongst these individuals who
come down to enjoy their freedom in tbs
"Pen" is from six to eight per diem
This, of itself ought to be enough to keep
them away; but in addition to this they
will find very little consolation from the
soldiers of the FEDERAL army to whom
they generally go for redress, We sup.
posed that those who go back to then
former homes af-er a trip down here arr

Insanity of Party Spirit.
p. JAEGER, Secretary.

The bano of Republics, history tells
us has been the violent and u~nccntIol-
able stage of party spirit. That it often
renders men either blind to, or regard
less Of, the real interests Of their country
is well known. Instances OF it arc all
around US, but probably the must lieGdish
exhibition of this hellish spiri' was recent
ly given in the Washington correspond
ence Of the Springfield (Mass) RePuJli-
can. The writer states that while he
was satisfied that Mrs. Surratt "was moi
guilty Of the murder Of Mr.. Lincoln
he is delighted that she was hung because
her death has made the Democratic lead.

"This is an excellent result. I dom
want an ezra OF good feeling just now
That isl do not desire that men who
hate the black man and the Union shall
like Mr.. johnson. Praise from the lips o.
bad men is always suspicious, and Tor {
public man is dangerous"
Is it possible ior The human mind t
conceive of anything more horrible than
the above? The murder of a woman
acknowledged to DO wholly innocent o.
the horrible crime imputed to her is here
gloried over because the writer regards il
as likely to advance the political interest,
