DER FREIscHuTz.-A great number OF
seats lave been sold for both performances OF
this popular and romantic otera by the Vir.
ginia Gesangverein. The first will take place
at the Theatre tonight. and brilliant audi
ence- is already assured. We can add nothing
now to what we have already said and re-
peated in relation to the Gesangverein, and
the manner in which they have studied and
worked upon Der Freischutz. Few persons
can have any idea of the proficiency which
they have attained; and we predict for the
performance tonight success which will be
brilliant enough TO reward the performers
for their many months of ;lssiduous devotion
to their task.

A Horrible Execution.

The particulars of the murder of
James P. Golden by Stephen Ballou will
be remembered by the reader. Both
the murderer and his victim resided
near Quincy, Ill. Ballou persuaded
Golden to go with him to Texas, and
when they arrived there, killed Aim
and secured possession of his property.
He returned North, and telling plausi-
BILE story about his missing comrade,
actually married his sister, wearing on
the occasion pair of pants that he had
stolen from the murdered man. Sub
sequently his guilt was discovered, and
he was sent back to Texas, tried and
convicted. His execution took place
on the oath ult., at Mckinney, Collin
county, Texas, in the presence of an
immense crowd, and was as horrible as
the crime. He went to the scaffold
smoking cigar, which he continued,
with impudent stolidity, during the re-
ligious services, in which he refused TO
participate. When the Sheriff asked
him if he had anything to say, he made
no response the black cap was drawn
over his eyes, and the trap fell. But
his neck was not broken, and for fifteen
minutes he swung in the air, all the
time showing unmistakable signs Of life.
Then he was seized and raised by the
Sheriff and his assistants, and was
actually hung second time amid the
shouts of the witnesses. 1t must have
been an awful spectacle, but could
scarcely have been more outrageous
than the murder.
