THE EXCELSIOR CORNET BAND CONCERT.-
As was previously announced, this Band gave
a concert in the Court House, on Friday even
ing last, to a pretty full house, notwithstan_
ding the inclemency of the weather. The
consert consisted of marches, schottisches,
quicksteps, and waltzes, by the Band, and
duetts, waltzes, &c., by a company of gentle
men on violins and guitar. They made ex
cellent music, and added considerable inter
est to the entertainment, The " Mountain
Echo Quickstep," by the Band, we were de
lighted with. The echo was as natural as it
could possibly be, and it was amusing to see
the audience looking around in every direc
tion, to see from whence the sound proceeded.
" The Firemen's Grand Quickstep" capped
the climax. It was composed and dedicated
to the firemen, by Prof. Rowbotham, the Ex
celsior's talented tutor. When the alarm of
fire was given, and the bells were rung, we
imagined we could see the devouring element
bursting forth in all its fury, upon the dwel
lings of hundreds, hear the women and chil
dren shriek, see the firemen hurrying to the
spot with their engines; and as the fire spread
with almost lightning speed, and the noise
and - confusion became greater, we imagined
we were in the midst of that awful and des
tructive element. The bells were hurriedly
rung, orders given by the captain, and all
were busily engaged in putting out the fire,
when we were brought again to realize the
fact that we were comfortably seated in the
Court House, listening to the Excelsior. So
perfect was the imitation, that we were thus
carried away. We heard a gentleman at our
elbow, remark that the " ExcelSior was the
best country .Band in the State ;" we fully
concur with him, and what's more, hazard
the assertion that they can excel any Band
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Suc
cess attend them.
A BEAuTtrun SIGHT.-A few days ago we
visited.the top of the hill, just opposite town,
on the other side of the river. After climb
ing up an almost perpendicular path for about
half an hour, we arrived at the summit of
the hill, and after making our way to one of
nature's own observatories, we never before
beheld a sight half so beautiful. As far as
the eye could rea2h, could be seen an un
broken chain of the most picturesque scenery
imaginable. We gazed long and silently at
the fertile vallies, and gorgeous range of
mountains which surrounded us on every
Side. The blue etherial smoke of an Indian
summer day made the scene even more in
teresting. The artist's pencil has never, as
yet, painted anything half so grand; would
he try, we think he would shrink from the
task and declare it impossible. We would
not censure him for it either. Although the
task of climbing the bill is difficult, we think
a visit to the top will doubly repay any one
for their trouble. Would our ladies, and
some of the gentlemen, too, climb that bill
at -least once a day, we think it would do
them more good than all the medicine in the
world. It would drive away consumption,
and all other diseases of similar character
brought on by sedentary habits and close
confinement to business. It would also be a
capital idea to have a walk made, so that it
would be easier of access. We are so de
lighted with what we saw, that we intend
visiting it soon sgain, and advise all who
want to " sec a sight as is a sight," to go and
do likewise. We give our word for it, you
will not be disappointed.

Xier' We were favored on Friday and Sat
urday last, with another rain. It rained in
cessantly from Friday evening till Saturday
afternoon. We learn that the storm was very
'severe in the east. Blowing a perfect hurri
cane, up-rooting trees, tearing down fences,
and flooding everything before it. We have
not learned of any serious damage being done,
more than what we have enumerated.
DISTINGUISHED ARRIVAL.—On Monday last,
Gen. William Dunn, the great Western tour

sas, or some other place, to quarter for the

are putting up seats for the accommodation

idea to our managers, of putting up seats on

ladies, become very much fatigued standing
all day. The cost would not be a very great
deal.

LOCAL CORRESPONDE..YCE
Mn. EDITOR : '1:11e morning is one of beau
ty. One that brings to our minds reminisen
ces of the past. One that causes us to look
back to those by-gone days that found us
pleasuringourselves amid the scenes of youth;
those days when we took our place in the
family circle of the old homestead, and were
taught the great difficulties that would have
to be encountered in the future--in the set
ting out to perform our duty in the business
of life. Ahl the future has come, and we
find ourselves floating on the tide of time as
fast as the golden moments can row us along
—along towards Eternity. Many trials and
difficulties have been encountered, and who
knows but what many have yet to be battled
before we end our earthly career. But, Mr.
Editor, ere my imaginations reach beyond a
description of my pen, I will close this sub
ject, and proceed-with some of the trials and
difficulties of our town.
The young men of this place have been en
deavoring to organize a Literary Society, the
last three months, and have been so unlucky
as to be unsuccessful in the organization.—
Several appointments have been made, but
all proved like the widow's egg keg, "knock
ed in the head." Why it is Mooresville is
behind in Literary Associations, I cannot
tell. The material is sufficient—consisting
chiefly of students, .and a selection of more
intelligent students (my humble self excep
ted,) could not be made. This being the
case, we hope the students in general and
others in the vicinity, will take matters into
consideration after the commencement of the
approaching session of our "Collegiate Insti
tute," and organize a society, that they may
be enabled to occupy the stump, as our young
orator, Mr. Jno. Lightner did the other even
ing, and express their sentiments on the "Sla
very question." (Mr. Lightner being favored
with a "gift of the gab," gave Slavery "par
ticular fits."
Come then ye literary men
Aud form a literary baud,
That literature may be your theme,
As you literary stand.
Politics appear to be the conversation of
the day, throughout the valley in which
Mo.nesville is situated, and raises quite an
excitement occasionally among our leading
politicians. Several candidates were at this
place, or rather near by, a few weeks ago,
and appeared to be exerting themselves con
siderably in the great cause of securing an
election. Among the number, was Mr. J. S.
Africa, the gentleman who is thought will be
elected at the next ballot-box, notwithstand
ing the thoughts of some opponents, regard
ing the existence and non-existence of a God.
On Thursday last, a difficulty arose be
tween one, of the weaker sex and a fellow
student, which caused a little "rumpus" on
the side of the literary genius. In a few
minutes after the "fracas," be was seen go
ing it at the rapid speed of 2.40, not to the
other side of Jordan, but to the other side of
Stone Creek, feeling deeply impressed that
Amid women and broomsticks and children combined,
Words are much better when they arc confined.
Fearing I have already wearied your pa
tience, Mr. Editor, I will closemy Ps for the
present, by extending to you my More

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT-DOG KILLED, BUT
AN INFANT SAVED.-A remarkable accident
occurred a few days ago at the corner of
Third and Race streets, in which a dog acci
dentally became the preserver of a child's
life, and lost its own. It seems that an in
fant child of Mrs. Burns, residing in the sec
ond story of a building at the corner of Pearl
and Race streets, was placed at one of the
windows by its mother. Unbeknown to her,
however, it clambered up into the window,
and while playing on the sill lost its balance
and fell to the street.
Just at that time a dog happened to be
passing, and, as if providential, the child fell
directly upon the back of the dog. The fall
crushed the animal to the pavement, on to
which the infant rolled apparently but little
hurt. Those who witnessed the accident,
supposed that the child would be instantly
killed, and were astonished, on examination,
to find it but slightly injured. Not so, how
ever, with poor Tray. He had received mor
tal injury. He streched himself out, kicked,
gaped, and breathed his last. The accident
is one of the most remarkable we ever heard
of.—Cincinnati Times.

EVANS & WATSON
Have had the surest demonstration in the following cer
Mcrae that their manufacture of Salamander Safes has at
length fully warranted the representations which Intro .
been made of them as rendering an undoubted security'
against the terrific element:
Philadelphia, April 12th,1856.
Messrs. livAxs WArsoN—thmtlenien—lt affords us the'
highest satisfaction to state to you, that owing to'the very
protective qualities of two of the Salamander Sates which
we purchased of you some few months since, we saved a;
large portion of our jewelry, and all our books, papers, Sc.,.
exposed to the calamitous fire iu ltanstcad Place, on the'
morning of the nth instant.
Where we reflect that these Safes were located in the'
fourth story of the building we occupied, and that they
fell subsequently into a heap of burning ruins, whore the
vast concentration of heat caused the brass plates to melt,
we cannot but regard the preservation of their valuable'
contents as most convincing proof of the great security
afforded by your Safes.
We shaft take much pleasure in recommending them to•
men of business as a sure reliance against fire.
