The Concert at the Court House,
Monday Night, Juno 21st.

We learn that Mr.. w. q. Neville will not be
able To deliver the address before the Alumni of
Adger College on Monday night next, so the
young men have concluded to give q concert in
the Court House, beginning at o'clock p. M.
Mr. Nlunson, from Greenvillc, whose fine music
was enjoyed so much at the late commencement,
has been engaged again and will present us q
large selection of pieces at that time. 1t is not
often that We have tho opportunity of listening
to music of high order, and every one should
use such occasions for the cultivation of the
testhetic part of his nature. Miss Emma Hahr,
young pianist of North Carolina, has acccded
to The request Of her friends and will assist Mr.
Munson with several pieces on the piano. Miss
Hair is spoken of in the highest terms by tho
North Carolina papers as young lady Of great
musical power, and we feel assured that this
part Of the performance alone would repay all
who 60. We copy the following notice of Miss
Hair from the North Carolina Gazette: .sSIiss
Emma Hair is q wonderful pianist a musical
prodigy, and does full honor 10 the great genius
of the late Prof. Hair. Not only is her exc
cution perfect and her touch fautless but there
is magnetic and thrilling spirit aud expression
in her playing which carries Tie hearer with
her delighted, for she loves music for musios
sake. We have never heard anything in the
New York Academy Of Music or in Stcinway
llall to surpass her Home Sweet Home or
her rendition of 'Pattison's Piano Recital in
comparably the best thing she gayo us the other
night" Price Of admission Is cents

Presbyterian PASTORS Par
sOMage Pounded

On last Friday night, tho 11th Of June,
thero was held tho most pleasant party Of
tho season. 1t was pound party at tho
Presbyterian Pastors, in Walhalla. The
day had been spent in moving into our
house and arranging it for our permanent
abode, at least for season. 1t had been
day of toll, and the pleasure and gifts Of
tho evening came to cheer and refresh after
its labors were over. 1t was to us a typo
Of life with its burdens aud then tho glori-.
Gus reward and happiness after the tolls of
life are pact. Aboutsundo%n the "pounds"
began to como and continued till late Into
the night. Wo cannot say that this con.
tiauod all night, but it is certain that thoy
wore still coming in the next morning, aud
had not altogether ceased at sundown.
These gifts wero called "pounds," but it
was in many instances, certainly good
measure, frequently largo nico ham bcing
accounted pound. After this pleasant
affair was over our table acknowledged
many pounds Of coffee, sugar, rice, soda,
ham, lard, salmon, oysters, honey, &C.,
but our hearts Acknowledged far heavier
weight of obligation aud gratitude.
One of tho most pleasant features of the
affair was the fact, that it was not altogether
"Prcsbyterian" entertainment, for all de-
nominations, Lutherans, Baptists, Motho..
dists and Presbytorians assisted or united
in this net of remetn brance, tho very first
gifts coming from Methodists and last from
Lutherans. The pleasure afforded the re-
cipients could only have been exceeded b.
that afforded the donors, for "Remember the
words of tho Lord Jesus how he said, it is
more blessed to give than to receive" Is
it not the universal experience of men that
there is genuine pleasure afforded in
every act of kindness9 We greatly appre-
ciate these gifts, because of their INTRINSIC
value, but we appreciate them vastly more
because they were to us tokens that We
were kindly remembered in many house
hold, and possessed the good will of the
comm unity in whose midst Providence has
cast our lots during the past four years
To our generous donors we tonder our sin
ccre thanks, with the wish and firm belief
that their stores will not be diminished by
that which has enlarged ours, and that
Providence will reward them as We cannot;
aud may he givo US grace to minister to
thcm 10 spiritual things more abuudantly,
who have so generously minis tered to US
in temporal things.
