SOiree Musicale.

There is no institution that does more
credit to the enterprise OF our flourishiDg
little sister city than the Edgefie Female
Seminary, conducted by Mrs. Weber and
her able corps of instructors; and of this
institution there is no branch which excites
more enthusiastic admiration than the mu-
steal department under the control of Prof.
Weber, whose skill, experience and capac-
ity are so well known to our citizens.
We attended a soiree there on the 10Th inst.
when the Professor and his pupils were
greeted by an audience so large as to crowd
the Academy to its utmost capacity, and sell
dom have we seen an audience more delight
ed or heard higher encomiums pronounced
upon teacher and scholars. The exercises
showed his system of instruction to be most
thorough and his training most careful and
attentive, producing marked and astonish-
ing improvement in his pupils, the excellence
of some of whom would grace the circle of
profcients in this fascinating art and sci
ence. We have only space to allude parti-
cularly to few who distinguished them
selves on this occasion.
Miss L c. was most felicitous in ex-
preston, execution and a ready and &C
curate comprehension Of the spirit of the
author.
Miss Mamie s. added new graces and
attractions to CLONE" her soul seem. ng to
blend in its sweet harmonies, and her fine
scholarship Christening and refining every
chord she touched.
Miss Mai As Duet in company with
her teacher, Miss Mary Weber, evinced a
high order of musical genius, capable of
attaining nearly any excellence in the
science, and awoke in the audience the
most enthusiastic admiration and applause.
Altogether we seldom if ever witnessed a
more pleasing or gratifying entertainment.

Wonders never cease, and the eccentric
doings of individuals keep pace with the
progressive strides Of civilization. Society
suffers much from these strange persons,
and its conventionalities, however whimsi-
cal or even truly founded on moral grounds,
are oftentimes disregarded and its iniuffc-
tions disObeyed. Men are strange, nova
days, as in the past, and some have, among
ether desires, a tendency TO marry as often
as possible, irrespective Of its consistency
with the prOpriety Of circumstances aud
feeling or even honor. Such a person re-
sidednearW hite Bluff, Dickson county. This
mans name is Leatmdige, and his fOndness
for matrimonial connections, cannot be
well explained.
Not a month ago he married lady living
in that neighborhood, whose position in so
Ciety was good and most respectable. Five
days after their marriage his wife was a
corpse, having fallen victim to that terri
Bile ScOuTge smallpox. Three or four days
were all the time desired by the bereaved
husband in which to mourn for the lost of
his heart. Five days after the death of his
wife Mr.. LeathTidge married her sister.
Not long was he allowed to share the Joys
of his second and speedy marriage, for the
hand of destiny again sent its death angel
TO this man Of strangeness, and
within eight days the bride was
cold in earth's embrace, for like her sister,
she was attacked with smallpox and quickly
hurried from earth-frOm among the scenes
Of new made love to another land. While
this might have been a heavy blow to the
feelings OF others,'it only served to nerve
the twice lonely made heart of Leathridge
for something still worse in the matrimonial
line. After trying in vain to find some
maid to share his widowed affections
he had almost cOnclu-
ded to give up in despair. This
feeling, however, gave way to "hope
eternal in yOnder sphere sublime" for
within five days he had met with another !
mans wife and tried his persuasive powers
10 induce her to prove false to her marriage
VOWS. After two days he succeeded, and !,
1T the end of that time they elOped for parts |
unknown. What sad comment upon the |
civilization and moral influences, supposed |
BY the good and religious, to exist in the
society of the present age. What fearful
y true picture of deprayity is this, made |
more glaring in its moral deformity by the |
contrast of its social position in a county |
lOted for the virtues of its citizens.

A Deserving COunIe.

Some time ago a notice appeared in the
UNION AND AMERICAN that an aged couple
residing at No. III South Summer street.
were in a destitute condition. At that time
many of our charitably disposed citizens
took a great interest in their behalf. Several
months however, have flown since then, and
time has contributed much toward reducing
them TO a state Of deStitution. MANY Of
our citizeus pass and repass their little cot
tage daily as it stands by The roadside and
little dream Of the sufierings which a men,
Der OF the human family has tolendure with
in. The husband has been suffering with
paralysis for nearly five years and has lost
the use of his limbs, being as helpless as a
babe. The wife has been compelled to leave
her crippled husband day after day in his
helpless condition TO work out to obtain
the common necessaries of life.
They are emiuently deserving any assist
ance our citizens may extend to them.

"CIOtiIde, or the Secret Of Three Gene
FafiRnSs

This is the title of recent novel from
the pen of Alexandra De Pontmartin, who,
with the exception of Victor Hugo, is one
of the most finished writers of the present
day in France. The novel is translated in
to English by Kate c. Barton, and publish
ed by J. w. Stoddart q Co., Of Philadel-
phia. Like all French novels "Clotide" is
repete with sentiment,yet it never becomes
mawkish. 1t has the nerve of Hugo, with
the tenderness of Dumas, and much of the
excellence of the work is retained in the
translation. The book will be a welcome
accession to the libraries Of all who admire
a romance which is interesting without be-
ing improbable; warm without being uns
chaste, and tell the sold, old story" in a
new and fascinating manner. The work
is for sale by Messrs. Paul & TaYel.
