Editor Of the Register:

We desire, through the columns of the
REGISTER, to give the readers Of your
worthy paper brief account of one Of
the richest musical treats it has ever
been our lot to enjoy. The concert was
given in Lawson's Hall, Triadelphia, on
Friday evening, the 25th inst, by the
West Virginia Concert Band, under the
direction of thot talented young musi-
clan, T. N. Todd, whose fine musical
taste and talent we have had occasion
to notice before.
The programme consisted of brass
band and orchestral selections, from the
finest authors, which were executed in q
manner that could not fail to please the
closest musical critic.
The frequent sounds Of applause from
the audience manifested their apprecia-
tion of the exercises. Notwithstanding
the very unpleasant state fthe weather,
the Hall was pretty well filled by o re-
spectable and fashionable audience,
who, on retiring from the occasion.
could not help but feel that "it was good
to have been there" Ex-CLk.

THE following from the Louisville
Courier illustrates the facility with
which offenders avail themselves of ex-
ecutive clemency in Kentucky. The
exceeding good nature of the CHIEF
magistrate of that State is proverbial,
and may account for. any of his errors
in extending favors to transgressors
from this region:
We heard "good 'un" on Governor
Bramlette the other day which is rath-
er too good to keep.
On coming out Of the Capitol Hotel
n few mornings since, a gentleman acoi-
dentally jostled against Gov. Bramlette,
who at the moment was entering the
house. Il beg your pardon" said the
strange gentleman to his Excellency in
the most polite manner. Granted"
promptly responded our worthy Gov
ernor, "but as don't happen to have
one in my pocket at this moment, il
you will step over to the Secretary's
office, it shall be made out in few
minutes"
