he stated that he never knew wheat in head
so early, except in 1916, when it was headed
on the Goth of May. About the list of
June following, when it was in blossom,
there was severe frost, which injured
much of it and killed the young corn.
Hon. S. s. Cox, who was advertised to
lecture in Elkton last Tuesday night, was
detained in Washington by the unexpected
emergency caused by the introduction in the
House of Representatives of the Potter
resolution. His failure was great disap-
pointment to the citizens of the town,
many of whom were anxious to hear the
distinguished and eloquent speaker. Proba-
bly, they may have that pleasure at an early
day, when he has leisure from his duties in
Congress.

part OF the county being more forward
than in the northern part, was caught in
full bloom, and the fructifying principle of
the pollen not having impregnated the
pistils of the incipient grain, it was killed
by the frost. In the northern part of the
county the wheat was not so far advanced
and escaped injury.
George H. Mock, who announced that
he would lecture in the court house yard
last Saturday afternoon, put in an appear

and we believe the lecturer returned to
Chesapeake City, where he held forth in

The exercises at the Young Peoples
Association, which held its regular monthly
meeting on Friday evening, the 10th in
slant, in the basement of the NJ E. Church,
were interesting, instructive and entertain
ing. The meeting was opened by Rev. Mr..
Ridgway, which was followed by music on
the organ, after which the President, VIM
j. Jones, Esq, introduced the essayist,
Col. VIM. III. Purnell, President of Della
ware College. who read an essay, entitled
words as Witnesses" This was an cru
dite composition, and being read in an elo
quent and effective manner, highly pleased
and delighted the large and intelligent audi
ence, who, by their close attention, showed
how highly they appreciated it. After the
short intermssion, which followed the read
ing of the essay, Mr.. VIM. r. Crow, who
is a student of Washington College at Ches,
tertown, read Lord Macaulay's celebrated
poem, p" The Battle of livery" This young
gentleman is one of the best readers we
ever heard, and if he continues to cultivate
the talents with which he is endowed, we
doubt not will soon reach the highest posi-
ton attainable as an elocutionst. The
musical part of the entertainment, espe-
cially the quartette by the juveniles, was
performed in highly creditable manner.
On motion of Rev. Mr.. Ridgway, vote of
thanks was rendered to the essayist and
! reader who had contributed 50 much to the
enjoyments of the audience. 1t is to be
hoped that those, who by their laboIs have
brought this Society to its present efficient
condition, will be sustained by the citizens
of the town, and that it will be perma

Qnite numerous and brilliant assemblage
filled Grunewald Hall last night to attend the
eleventh rehearsal of the New Orleans Phil
harmonic Society. The Philharmonic Society
is deserving of great praise for its gratuitous,
studied and successful efforts to raise the
standard of musical taste in this city, and en-
courage the divine longing which we all have
for the Interpretation of meIodious notes
artistically arranged.
The concert last night was q success In
every respect The opening cantata was adj
mirably sung, the guartettes, which are a
feature In the musical performances of the
society, were fully up to the usual standard,
and the choruses displayed a correctness and
ensemble which can only be obtained by long
and well sustained practice. 1t would be too
long were we to particulariZe every piece de-
serving special mention; in fact we would
then have to review the whole programme.
We cannot, however, pass unnOticed the adj
mirable rendition by Miss Wolf and Mr.. Bre-
mer of the duet and chorus "Bv Thee With
Bliss" from 1.-THE Creation" ofHaydn. The
way in which one set of voices after the other
took up the strain and swelled it gradually
and 80 correctly, In classical succession, till
from q melodiousiy blended accord of two
victory OF art and study. The last duet
and chorus, also from Haydn, "Of Stars the
Fairest," was magnificentfy interpreted.
Mr.. Theodore Currant the accomplished VIC
linist, was much and deservedIy applauded.
His delicate handling of the sweetest but
most difficult Of Instruments, showed great
native talent joined to careful study.
Miss A. Seawell sang the alto solo, Nearest
Thou" of Mattel, with the sweetest of voices
and most delicate expression.
Miss A. Affleck, whose voice it was our
good fortune to hear for the, first time last
night, sang the grand waltz of Venzano, we
were about to say to perfection--at least the
audience appeared to think so-for when her
nightingale notes had ceased the applause
and encores were 50 rapturous and reiterated
as evidently to make the modest young lady
uncomfortable, for the reason that she could
not answer the encore, owing to the rule pub
llshed on the programme forbidding any
repetition. Her voice Is certainly one Of the
sweetest and most correct that we have ever
heard. Altogether, it was quite treat given
by the Philharmonics last night to their
friends, much of the; credit being due to Prof
Groenevelt, the leader and instructor, and to
the accompanist, J. w. FL. Eckert.

A BIGAMHST.
One of the Smith Family Gets into Serious
Trouble.

One of the Smith Family Gets into Serious
Trouble.
Yesterday, before Judge Smith, the case of
Thomas Smith, colored, accused Of bigamy,
was resumed.
The amorous African was married to a
daughter of Mrs. Sarah Taylor, by the Rev.
Peterson, at Carrollton, on the thirty-first Of
December, 1877.
So far, so good. But Smith, who subse-
guehtly undertook a trip to Amite City, in
Tangipah0a parish, became the victim of the
treacherOus Cupid and yielding to the charms
Of the modest Violet Jennings, asked her to
become his until death US doth part" Smith,
however, failed to mention the fact that he
had been and was still a married man.
Violet, overcome by the eloquent entreaties
Of the deceitfui Smith, consented, and the
Rev. johnson duly united them IN UmcuLo
Hnutrimonii.
All went on smoothly for a week or two,
when the gay truant returned to the city, and
unfortunately was locked up on the complaint
of wife No. for bigamy.
The case was tried yesterday, and watched
with unhagging interest by large number
of parties Who knew that Smith had already
been married here.
Several witnesses from Amite CITY. in
Guiding the Rev. johnson, recognized Smith
as the party who had been married there on
the second of June.
The Rev. Peterson, who had performed the
nuptial services on the thirty-ffrst of Deem
Der of last year, also identified him.
After hearing the testimony, Judge Smith
ordered the accused to be renanded without
benefit of bail, until the sheriff of Tangipa-
The judge will send telegram to the
sheriff, apprising him Of the fact, and ere
many DAYS eIaDse the seductive Smith will
probably find himself In hot water.

CITY HALL TOPICS.
The Protection Levee.

Owing to the change in the advertisement
for bids for the repairing of the protection
levee at the New Lake End, it was deemed adj
visable to postpone the opening Of the bids
until to-day at noon, In order that no dissat-
isfaction should occur among the bidders.
LANDING WANTED.
The city Administrators are considering the
request of the Morgan railroad company to
be allowed a landing at the head Of Girod
street. AS far back as 1869 an ordinance was
passed by the Council authorizing the sale by
the city to the railroad company Of two
squares of batture for $4,000, which are now
occupied by the Mobile railroad under color Of
an act of the Legislature granting thesquares
to the company The matter is still in litiga-
ton, Judge billings only day or two ago
having decided against the citys opening
streets through the space occupied by the
depot. The city will, however, appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States, and it is
the opinion of the Mayor that the Supreme
Court will decide that the Legislature had no
power to give away the property Of the city.
A NUISANCE.
Complaint was made yesterday to the
Mayor that an entertainment given by col
ored people at the hall No. go Lafayette
street, on Saturday, had been very bolster
Gus and was an intolerable nuisance. The
Mayor ordered that no permit be hereafter
given to the same parties who had represent
ed that the affair was to have been school
exhibition.
THE WATERWORKS.
President Toby, of the Waterworks Com
pany, in person, is attending to the eXamina-
ton of the water pipes down town. Mr.. Toby
has found that a number Of fire plugs have
not been opened for such long time that the
sediment had choked the pipes, and that this
was the cause of so many private hydrants
failing to supply households with water.
THAT CURVE.
The Mayor has requested Surveyor d Heme-
court to notify the Crescent City Railroad
Company to modify the curve of their track,
at the intersection of Canal and Magazine
streets, to avoid danger to the limbs Of pas
sengers on their cars.

TIE GRAIN TRADE.

The Eastern, New York, and particularly
the Chicago papers, have for long time
argued that during the warm spring months
at New Orleans grain would "sprout" and
otherwise deteriorate and, therefore, ship
pers would lose largely, and be compelled to
return to the railroad route to the sea. In
proof that they are wrong, there was a cargo
of $4,000 bushels of No. 2 mixed corn shipped
per steamer Fire Queen which left here on
for Liverpool that had laid along
side the levee in a barge for the past six
weeks, and was perfectly dry and sound, and
was certified as being in perfect condition by
the official inspector (Mr. Belknap) of the
Chamber Of Commerce. There fs good rea-
son to expect that the corn will be found In
good order on arrival in Liverpool.
