columns Of a Kansas City paper,

great American prima donna in
Paul and Virginia !: "Aha, that

The Concert.

Abbeville was all agog last
Sunday. Of course the Concert
given for the benefit of the French
Benevolent Society was the subject
of so much excitement. At an
early hour in the evening the
Brass Band were heard proceed
ing in the direction Of the Court
House, and a crowd soon gather
ed. The doors opened at Z
o'clock and a few minutes after
7 30, the performance opened
with an overture by the baud,
followed by a comic song, excel
1ently rendered, Mons. by Bidault.
The curtain then rang up ON
"Scanterbine" a rollicking charac-
ter sketch full of pathos and
laughter, which at times convul-
sed the whole audience, Lies
Hirondelles" a choral song by a
choir of handsome young ladies,
was we'll received, and was a Gre
dit to the fair songsters. The
hooking bird" by the Band, and
a capital comic song by Bidault,
which brought down the house,
preceded a French Vaudeville
la affaire du rue de l'ourcine"
with the following cast -
Mestingue A. Monlor,
Jastin j. NJ. Beauxis,
Potard Jos. T. Labit,
Norine Miss E. Bernard,
Lenglume Jos. Mouil!aud,
The play was ful! of interest
and While 1t would be in vldivus
to particularize, we must say that
the actors were well up in their
parts and threw all the life into
them required.
A French song LA Charlie
written by Pere Lacoste, and
sang by the Orpheon, and an
air or two by the Band, termina-
ted this pleasant affair. Every
one seemed we'll pleased and we
suppose the brightest anticipations
of the managers were realized.

A very peculiar case was tried on
Saturday IN the district court at Raw
Inns. The case was that Of the terrific
ry against Fernando Pierce, charged
with the murder Of one Joseph Horn
beck. The evidence showed that on
the 10th day of October last, Mr.. j. c.
Clay, who was in the employ of Hugus
u Co., ut Rawlins, went to the camp
OF Mr.. Powell, in the suburbs Of the
town, to deliver some goods, and MI.
Hornbeck rode down to the camp with
Clay. As they were unloading the
goods, Pierce, the defendant, came out
OF the tent with a bread pan in his
hand and asked Clay why he didn't
bring more flour. Clay made some jocu-
lar remark and then said he would bring
IL next load. Pierce then drew n large
Colts revolver and fired n shot over the
heads Of Clay and Hornbeck, who were
sitting in the wagon about twelve feet
from him. Clay threw up his hands
and said: "Joe, you wouldn't shoot a
man, you know, would youp" Pierce
made no reply, but deliberately Ieveled
his pistol and apparently took deliber-
ate aim at Hornbeck, fired the second
shot, hitting Hornbeck near the naval,
which caused his death within three or
four days afterward. Excitement ran
very high in Rawlins for u few days,
and Pierce was taken out Of the Jail by
an indignant crowd Of citizens with the
intention OF hanging him, but wise
counsel prevailed, and the law was al
lowed to take its sourse. The jury re-
turned a verdict Of murder in the Sec
ond degree, the penalty being impris-
onment for life.-Tmes.
