CORRESPONDENCE.


MIDDLEDrEY, Aug II, 1866.
.W. Editor Among the many GOOD
things which Commencement week pre-
sen,cd to us, it seems TO me that the
concert by the Menlel>sohn Quintctte
Club is worthy Of especial mention. 1t
is only at rare intervals that places so
remote as ours from musical centcrs, are
permitted TO enjoy such an entertainment
And, aside from It's rarity, the intrinsic
worth of this concert would render it
noteworthy. But am moved to make
mention Of it in this place especially, be-
cause OF the manner in which a majority
of the audience of last Thursday evening.
listened, or rather did not listen to the
performance.
suppose that if the learned address of
Senator Edmunls, or the earnest discourse
Of Rev. DR.. Park had been interrupted
and attended by continuous confused
stream of loud talking, uzengc-ea,ing,
gum-chewing, and miscellaneous gggling
and general disturbance, the public senti-
mcnt OF our people would have risen in
indignation at such n gross insult to the
honorcd gentlemen who were addressing
u. Now, Mr.. Editor, the members of
the Qnintcttc Club are gentlemen of cul-
ture and character. Some of them have
been entertained in our best families, and
all who have known them will testify that
there were no superiors to them in refine
mcnt, intelligence and worth, among
the digniiaries WHO ass,mll led here at
commencement And / feel that it is
due to us AMI to them, to make some
protest against the barbarous and indecent
confusion with which their music was
received by the audience, assembled on
last Thursday eve. For the credit of our
village | am glad TO believe that many
of those whose conduct was so disgrace
full are not residents of Milllebury, and
in making these structures, only those
WHO are guilty need feel reproved. But
! trust that by another year some meas
urcs will be adopted either by the citizsns
of Middlebury or ty the young men of the
College which shall preserve order in such
an as,cmblagc, and shall vindicate to the
Quintette Club Gf they consent to visit
us again} that we do not deserve the
reputation, which we have this year
gained, for so general a destitution of
courtesy and musical appreciation.

MISCELLANEOUS AT New York, Tues
day, only eleven new cases Of cholera were
reported, and only nine on Wednesday,
with n slightly larger number at Brooklyn
But the pestilence is spreading over a
great expanse of territory. Cincinnati is
at present suffering from it more severely
than any other city in the United States
and in st Louis, New Orleans, Philadel-
phia, and other cities, the disease has
secured an unmistakable hold. AT Cincin-
natl, on Tuesday, there were fJrty-two
new cases, with thirty-one deaths, and
since the cholera commenced there il has
appeared more malignant than elsewhere,
with a greater proportion Of fatal cases.
AT New Orleans the blacks are principally
attacked ; elsewhere the Irish and those
who live in filthy localities or in a filthy
manner, showing that if the plentiful ex-
hortations to cleanliness had been observed
there would have been very little danger
to be anticipated. The Indians are bccom-
ing troublesome in Kansas and Idaho
