| DOIsG WELL.--Matthias 81. Pennell, on
whom the murderous attack was made by
the convict English, isr7doing as well as
couldsbe expected. He himself feels hope
fuls and declares that he will recover.
One of bis physicians told us, yesterday,
that he would probably get well, though
he would have a tight squeeze forit. The
blow Mr.; Pennell received on the neck sew
cred the cords, and had it been little
deeper, would have produced death of it.

tispai crime sisaa lesser one than that for
Which he is now being punished, and after
due time he viii be put at work again to
maim, perhaps some other man for life.
Tue prison guard made q great mistake in,
not putting five or six bullets into Eng
lish. Itywould be a. good deal better to
bury such ruffian than to have him alive
chopptng, down men who may offend him.
If the prison rules allow it, we think about
five years solitary confinement would be a.
pleasant medicine in his case. He needs
something of this sort to take the devil out
of him. Something of the kind will be
necessary to subdne him, or he will go on
hacking and .chopping people until they ,
have a hanging match at the Penitentiary.

concert of the second annual series, given
by the Mennerchor, at Naughton Hall last
night was complete success. The hall
was filled with the fashion and intelligence
| of oureity, and they testified their appre-
citation of the fine music by long and rap.
| turous applause. The overture from Zam-
pa was capital, so also was the Guards
Waltz. Mr.. Heyde sang his tenor solo in
better voice than ever before. A Mr.. APP
pIebaurn, of Pittsburgh. volunteered, and
sang a tenore solo from Martha most effect
lively, and won an encore. We cannot par
ticularize, but must content ourself in
general commendation of the concert. The
Mannerchor is doing great work in edu-
eating our people to the appreciation of the
highest order Of music, and deserves the
encouragement and support it receives.
| A BOLD BURGLARY.--Last night about
nine o'clock some burglar entered the store
OF McColm, Miles & Mcdonald, and robbed
the money drawer OF some $40 or S12
change ir contained. This is about as bold
an operation zas we have known OF for
some time. While the Maennerchor con-
cert was In progress, and while large
number of persons, hack drivers, boys,
and drivers of private carriages were wait
ing at the corner of the alley for the audi
ence to come from Naughton Hall, pane
of glass was broken from the door on the
\ alley and screw taken from the lock, on
the inside, and the door pried open with a

store all the time. and the robbero must
have got in few moments after Mr.. Miles
left. The boldness of the operation was
the reason Of it's complete success. '''' - ''
