Church, last night, afforded a rare treat to the immeuse audience which' liter lly pack ed that capacious edifice; :The rendition was indeed admirable. - It was done in such perfect time, with such " concord of sweet sounds,'' by so many well-trained, youthful voices, every one of which, seemed inspired with the sacred sentiments uttered and ani- mated with the seraphic sdul of the music to which it was set, that it would be very difficult indeed to distinguish between the merits of the different' pieces, or to ex aggerate, the excellence of the whole performance.-"' ' : ;,;-' :"- ,!'; This school has elicited many well merit ed encomiums for similar entertainments given before, but the Concert last night far transcended any of its predecessors. 1 he pieces sung by the, choir were sub lime and beautiful." Those sung by the in fant class were touching and exquisite in their simplicity, and when the whole school joined in,' it was like the choral voices of the skies wafted on the airs of heaven. The conduct of the children during the protracted exercises was remarkably unex ceptionable, and the perfect silence and marked attention of the entire audience at tested their appreciation of the rich enter tainment given them. The school is doubtless indebted for the success which has crowned this effort to the musical talent and indefatigable efforts of Prof. Evans, who has had it under his in struction for some time past. The result last night reflects great credit on him as well as on Capt. Parker that model Sunday School Superintendent who is sure to carry whatever he undertakes to a successful con summation. The Postage stamps Case An Invef tleatlon and tne Result. The case of the United States t. W. T. Thaxton and David Joyner, in reference to the abstraction of nostace stamDs from the maii car on the w- & w T?. Tl . wna hrieflv referred to in our last, though the name of the latter was not known in the matter. It seems that Route Agent Robinson lost, er had stolen from him, on the night, of the 7th or 8th of December lastj a registered package of stamps addressed to the post master at Mara Bluff. Upon information that stamps were, being sold in "Texas" at $2 for $3 worth, Postmaster Brink made an investigation and found several parties, in cluding a number of respectable men, who had been dealing in these; stamps. They were readily traced thence to the house of Mrs, David Joyner. On the 13th inst. the postmaster got out a search warrant to ex amine the premises of the said Joyner, and found nearlv five hundred stamsts- of the denomination of 3 cents. It was claimed by thje lady that she received stamps to the amount of $37 or $47 from W. T. Thaxton on the 8th of December. Acting , upon this information and the lurthe S that four hundred stamps had been found in Thaxton's trunk, tie Post master caused his arrest. A partial exami- nation trf the cirse wfirllaTf'On Thursday, before Justiee Gardner; tmd further information-, received during the following night, led to the arrest of David Joyner.'
