Took POISoN.-A Young married
man named Joseph Miller, who re-
sided below the creek, and who has a
wife and one child, went to the drug
store of Schuermann & Burford, in
Chambers Block, yesterday morning,
where he had been in the habit of
trading, and after talking sociably for
a short time, remarked that his child
was sick and asked for some lauda-
mum and was furnished a half ounce
of the drug, with directions for its
use. He then went TO Laval's drug
store and procured another half ounce
under similar preteKt. He then
went to a family hat-boat lying above
the wharf, which is occupied by rel
ative, and there swallowed Seae half
ounce of the laudauum. Tue conse-
quence was that he was soon in pro-
found stupor. Medical aid was called
IN and every possible effort made to
save him, bat up to dark all the usual
remedies seemed to have been used
to no avail, and the opinion Of the
doctors was that he would die He
had been dissipating for several days.
THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. -
There was very fair audience at the
Opera House last night to erjoy the
delightful concert given by the Phil
harmonic Society, the parquette and
dress circle being crowded with the
elite of the city, who we're highly en-
tertained, and manifested their ap-
probation by frequent bursts Of APP
plause. The concert was under the
direction of Prof Genung, who &C
quilted himself in the most creditable
manner. The Crescent City Silver
Band also assisted, and made such
music as they alone are capable Of.
The music throughout was of a very
superior character, the selections hav
ing been made with much taste and
judgment.
The several performances by the
Society displayed an astonishing
amount of musical talent, and the
benefit of careful cultivation aud in
telligent and efficient instruction
The Solos by Miss Emma O'Riley,
Mrs. Seth Coolidge, Miss Sadie Hop
kins and Miss Hattie Kellogg, were
so many musical gems, most admir-
ably executed, displaying a degree Of
musical genius that few would expect
to fnd IN the West. The Duets by
Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Phglan, Miss
kellogg and Prof. Tinker, by Mrs
Drew and Miss Coolidge all won warm
applause, and were worthy Of ap
plause. The several quartettes were
delivered with like ability, and, upon
the whole our citizens have seldom
enjoyed a more exquisite musical
treat. Professor Won Roy and Miss
Moore at the piano did themselves in.
finite credit, and Mr.. Schneider. in tht
violin and piano selection, with Prof
Won Roy, exhibited his wonderful
| talent to great ADVANTAGE.
