Raptist Church Cnncerr.

The concert by the choir of the First
Baptist Church last night was a pleasant,
agreeable, refining and instructive coca
sion. 1t was well attended, though the
crowd was not so large as the merits of
the performers and the delightful music
deserved. Many more would have been
present but for the indications of storm
about the hour of assembling. The au-
dlence was a very cultivated and refined
one, and they were RECALLED with the most
delicious music, furnished Oy some of the
best vocal and instrumental talent of the
city. The following was the programme
OF the evening, and it was most admirably
rendered throughout, the members acquit
ting themselves with great credit:
Chorus-"What shaIl the Harvest be 2n
Quartette-''How firm Foundation. -

Solo-''The Goldbeater. Mr.. Ashford.
Tno-''A Little Farm well Titled. y
(Oomique) -Messrs. Hindle, Ashford and
Pohlman.
We assure those who were not present
that they missed musical feast rarely pre-
sented in our city.
Without disparagement to others, we
must mention as having received loud and
continued applause that brought an encore,
''The Little Orphan" the Solo by Miss
Hollins, Miss Cookies ''Scena and Prayer,
Consider the Lilies" by Miss j. Win
stOn, the Solos Of Mr.. Ashford and Mr..
Won Oertzen, and the comic conclusion.
We can only say finale that the singing
was worthy Of the object and really de-
serves higher praise than Ee can bestow
without seeming to be special in our men
ton. 1t was all deserving of praise and
as such we commend it.

Sumner Cooling Off.
% MIR. Sumner has not determined to
make, at present, his speech against the
administration, though fully prepared for
it. His friends in the Senate and press
have advised him, for the present, to OBJ
serve reticence, saying that the sen,i-
ment of the country is 30 overwhelming
against the President that he (Sumner)
can well afford to let the matter of his
deposition from the committee go with
out word. These views have made a
marked impression on MIR. Sumner, and
will probably induce him to wait till the
San Domingo question comes out in some
shape before he speaks his mind about
Grant.

occurred near six o'clock Monday evening
ON Broad street between two amszonian
females of the fifteenth amendment per-
suasion. They got into a dispute and
words waxed warm, and the phiting phe-
males became phurious. They pitched
into each other with carniverous foroclty.
They fought on the tonsorial style, the in
struments used being razors. After seve-
raj passes one of them succeeded In cut
ting the other in the neck, infiicting an
ugiy cash. BawliDg and sprawlng and
bleeding ensued. A physician was pro
cured and the wound was sewed up and at
last accounts peace reigned in Warsaw.
