Concert at Petersburg.

Despite the hasty preparations,
the concert. given by the young la
dies and gentlemen of Petersburg
and vicinity, on the evening of the
10Th inst, was eminent.y success
full; in fact, it was splendid and
recherche affair. There was a
very select and appreciative audi
ence in attendance, and their at
tention and department sufficiently
attested the fact that they were
highly interested and entertained
during the whole performance
So brief were the preparations that
it might very justly and reasona-
bly, have been considered almost
an impromptu affair, and, therefore,
the more creditable to the perform
ers. Our town was most nobly
represented on that occasion, and
we are confident that its reputa-
ton for musical talent did not suf-
fer at the hands OF its fair repre-.
sentatives. We could not but con-
slider it an act of injustice to par
ticularize, where all acquitted
themselves SO gracefully and cred
itably. There was admirable taste
displayed In the selection Of the
music, aud each selection, both 10
cal and Instrumental, was excellent
ly rendered, and heartily eiicored.
The. performers themselves were
agreeably surprised, and the audi
ence was delighted at the amount
Of musical talent thus developed.
The fair performers were hand
somely and elegantly attired,
and were as radient as the gems
of the Orient, and, SO indescriba-
bly, sweet, that we think that we
hazard nothing in saying that
many youthful gallant lost his
heart on that ever memorable
occasion. We are not advised of
the receipts of the evening, but
learn that they are to be appropr-I
ated for the benefit of the Pres
byterian Church at Petersburg-a
noble and highly commendable
purpose. ~ "a

a Singular Verdict.

a Singular Verdict.
Gen. Cole, of New York, who
killed Mr.. Hiscock for having Sc
duced his wife, was recently ae-
quilted by jury on The ground
that he was entirely sane the
moment before and the moment
after firing the fatal shot, but that
he was insane at the instant of
killing. The New York papers
regard this as The most singular
verdict on record, and some of
them enter into long disquisitlons
to show that Coles insanity could
not be of SO fleeting a character
as to be on bin only at the instant
OF pulling the trigger which sent
the fatal, ball crashing through
the brain of-the man who bad
defiled his marriage bed. This is,
as the New York journals contend,
a very singular case of insanity.
! But the jury desired to acquil
Cole on the ground that he had
served Hiscock exactly right, and
the flimsy subterfuge which they
set up as justification for the
verdict of acquittal shows their
intention, Such thing as the
conviction of husband or.brothel
who Stays the seducer of wife OIL
sister. is said not to have occurred
in this country, nor in England
for two hundred years. There il
hardly a sane man in, the country
who expected Gen. Cole to be con
Sicted of murder even the jour
mails that are criticising most Sc
tverely the ground upon which
the jury based their verdict of moi
guilty, expected no other verdict
They may have anticipated yer
diet of aequittal ON the ground
that Cole had been insane fol-
some time previous to the killing
The attempt was made on the
trial to establish this theory, but
it was completely upset. The
prosecution swept away every
plea which the defense set up ii
justification of the. murder of
Hiscock, until the jury were lef1
no other pretext for their verdict
than the one they set up. 1t was
a foregone conclusion that Cole
should be acquitted, and the jury
were driven to a desperate strait
to acquit him.
