Though no very important cases
were on trial this week, the Court
House was filled with spectators, and
a full representation of the official and
legal fraternity. The case of young
Hutsler, for carrying concealed
weapons, 1.-THE firearms have been
discharged accidentally while in re-
ligious meeting attracted consider
able attention, the jury returning a
verdict of not guilty, much to the
surprise of the court. The Leary
case, involving the killing of calf
and the confession of boy under
threat, gave lawyers and witnesses
much material for searching inquiry.

NJ. C.BAND CONCERT. Over six hun.
dfed persons occupied seats in Central
Opera House last Tuesday night,
among them being the intelligence
and beauty of the city. The occasion
was the second concert of the NJ. G.
Band, and when the curtain went up
the boys showed their appreciation OF
large audience present by giving one
of the finest concerts ever heard in
this city. Itopened with Monarch, p
a march by Steingarten. one of the
best of that composers works. Fol-
lowing this came Won Supp's celebrat-
ed overture, "Poet and Peasant"
rich in melody and smooth in con.
ception and movement. Every one
can appreciate Verdi's beautiful
operas, and when the band commence
ed one of the grand selections from
=" Traviata." the audience went wild.
After this selection, a novel change
of program occurred. The new Choral
Society recently organized by Prof.
Luscomb, embracing in its member
ship the brightest talent of the city,
sung the Carnival" chorus by
Rossini. Fifty voices swelled the rich
strains in mighty unison. and storm
ofapplause followed. Prof. Luscomb's
rendition of the Air Varie on " Old
Folks at Home" was indeed rare
treat, and the accompaniment by Miss
Bessie Houseworth did that lady
credit. We all love the pathetic, en-
ergetic characteristics of Spanish COM
positions, and none is prettier than
the Spanish dance, " Manana" by
Missud. The band executed it with
out flaw. The closing feature of the
concert was composition by Prof.
Luscomb, descriptive caprice, IAN
Indian Skirmish." No doubt the pro-
fessor had been reading the HERALD's
description of the Ghost Dance at Pine
Ridge, for the composition cleverly
depicted Indian life. The trumpets
were heard assembling the troops, fol-
lowed by the gallop Of horses as they
rushed on to death and glory. A halt
occurred, and low, sweet strains, told
the listeners that the soldier boys
were thinking of home and loved ones.
Suddenly in the distance, an Indian
war dance was heard, which located
the enemy. The cavalry cautiously
approached, and in the battle which
ensued the Professor destroyed "Poor
Lo," and amidst wild bursts of vic
torious shouts the engagement ends.
A splendid, catching style of compo-
sition.
The audience went away thorough
ly convinced that the M. G. Band is
head and shoulder above anything in
the State. Those who have not at
tended these concerts have missed two
fine musical treats. G.

error. Behind them came some forty
odd couple. AS soon as the grand
march ended, dancing began in earn
est, and the floor at one time contain
ed one hundred couples, and at all
other times was crowded. Round
dancing was occasionally INDUCED in,
but the old style quadrille held the
fort, and gave the best amusement to
the greatest number. The benches
and chairs were crowded with specte-
tors who apparently enjoyed them
selves as well AS the dancers. The
