TUE CONCERT ON TUESDAY NIaHT.-The
concert of instrumental music, at the Court
House on Tuesday night, was attended by an
audience Of several hundred persons, who
testified their appreciation of the music by
loud applause. The concert was under the
management of frof J. H. Ziegler, of Balti-
more, leader of the Bel Air Cornet Band
1t was for the benefit of the latter, who
were assisted by Messrs. Carl Scholl-
meyer, John Casper, I. Leon, F. Pmff,
L. Leddermann and II. Tunke, of Bal
timore. The music was all credtable,
and some of it exceedingly good Each APP
pcarance Of the Bel Air boys was greeted
with storm of applause, which showed
the kindly feeling of the audience for the
performers. Their efforts gave praiseworthy
evidence of industry and zeal in mastering
the rudiments of music. and if they perse-
we're as they have begun they will in a short
time be enabled to furnish music for every
public occasion in the county. We have not
learned the net amount of proceeds of the
concert, but hope enough was realized to en-
able the band to continue to employ teach
er for several months longer, at least.

Docs AMONG SIBERIA short time ago
a flock Of sheep, numbering 43, belonging to
Mr.. James II. Ball, who lives on Thomas
Run, were attacked by dogs, which killed
of the flock outright and severely wounded
all of the rest except eighteen. Every one
of the sheep would doubtless have been kill
ed, but for the discovery of the presence of
the dogs among them, by son of Mr.. Ball
who had risen very early in the morning, for
the purpose of preparing for journey.
Early last Thursday morning raid was
also made upon some sheep of Mr.. w. r.
Munnikhuyscn, who lives in the same neigh
borhood. One of the sheep was killed, but
the dogs were discovered and driven off be-
fore any more damage was done. On Mon
day, in broad daylight a dog again attacked
Mr. Acknowledgements sheep but was fright
ened away before he killed any of the flock
In neither case could the dogs be identified
The utmost limits Of forbearance have long
ago been passed; and farmers must make up
their minds between sentimental regard for
dogs and the profits of raising sheep. If it
pays better to keep dogs than sheep, let the
dogs be protected. Ifnot, something should
be done for the security of so important
branch of the farming interest as sheep hus-
bandry. Very few sheep would be killed if
dogs were kept at home by their owners; and
dogs that are really valuable are cared for and
prevented from running at large at nights, to
the detriment Of the neighborhood.

The FIRST American Royau,t.

Potter American Monthly relates the
romantic history Of the earliest scion Of
royalty who found refuge in America
from the sorrow and peril of a lofty state.
The story was originally published in
Bossu's Travels in North America"
(i778,) and was picked up by the author
while sojourning in New Orleans. In
I'LL, Charlotte Louisa, the youngest
daughter Of the Duke OF Brunswick, was
married to Alexis Petrowitz, son of
Peter the Great and heir of the Russian
Empire. She was from her bridal hour
the victim of her husbands savage tenn
per, and was frequently, in his paroxy-
isms Of rage, consequent upon intoxica-
lion, subjected to personal violence.
One day when the royal pair happened
to be unattended, the Prince fell into
one of his wonted fits Of passion, during
which be struck the Princess to the floor,
and then passing out, mounted his horse
and off to his suamer palace. Mean
time the Princess was tenderly cared for,
but as the result of her excessive agita-
ton she was prematurely brought to la
Dor and delivered Of a still-born infant.
Her life was despaired of, but a strong
constitution insured in the end her re.
covery.
Among the Princess attendants was
the famous Countess Konigsmark, for
merly the mistress of Augustus H., of
Poland, and the mother Of the distin.
guished Marshal SAKE. This lady deeply
sy%mpathized with the unhappy Princess,
and, wishing to rescue her from her
wretched state, persuaded her to free her
self from the Prince. In order to ac-
complish this, word was sent to the lat
ter that his wife had suddenly died in
childbirth. The brutal husband returned
the command that she should have an
immediate and private burial. This or.
der was most favorable to the Countess,
who superintendent a mock funeral, at
which none of the three or four witnesses
present discovered that a log of wood in
stead of the Princess occupied the coffin.
The night following the funeral, the
Princess set off for Paris, accompanied
by two faithful German servants, a man
and woman, and carrying with her a
goodly amount Of gold and silver. From
Paris, she embarked for the French colo
ny at New Orleans. Not long after her
arrival, she was recognized by the Cheva-
lier dAubant, who had seer her in the
streets of St. Petersburg. S~uspecting
the cause Of the exile, he ma'ntained a
discreet silence, bat, making | friend Of
the Princess man-seryant, he was &c.
