Stomington, Conn., (4, Vr}]{ 20) Dispatch to the New York Gnes, One of the most atrocious crimes which has ever shocked thia soction was perpetrated near hero last night. Henry D, Langworthy is an old rovident of tho town, who occupies & farm half a mile or more west of tho borough of Ston- ington proper. His family consisted of_himself and wife, sod two sons, pamed Irving and Cortiand. aged 18 sod 24 respectively; snd a hired man, who has livod with them during the wintor. On Sunday night Mr. aud Mrs, Lang- worthy went early to church in Mystic, leaving tho house in charge of the two young men. When they returned, about 10 o'clock, tho house was dark and silent.’ Tho father went into the kitchen, and putting out his band to guide him- self, Iaid it on the corpso of his youngest boy. It 6at rigid and upright m & chair besido & table. Tho lesd bad fellen back, and from » ghastly wound on tho crown tho blood had trickled down and gatherod in a pool on the floor. Thero was no ovidonce of struggle. The furnitura of the room was in perfect order, save that the lamp was overturned and broken. A book lay at the feet of tho corpse as it had dropped from tho hand when the blow was struck. The face of the desd man was calm and_placid, the only injury observable being the gaping wound on the head, which penetrated throngh the skull to tho brain, Tp-stairs in the roomof the elder 800, the kcene wag different. The stairs and passage lending toit were stained with splashes and gouts of blood. and the chamber itselfl looked like s slaughter-house. When the father reached him, young Cortland lsy upon his face, unconscious, with a terrible gash in his skull, almost exactly similar to the one inflicted on his brother. He waa undressed, having rotired for the night. The pillow was completely satnrated with blood, and even the mattress beneath, but there was Do indication that there had been a struggle here. The man had scarcely moved sinco he had been struck, and Iay breathing stertoroualy. Word wTag at onoe sent to this villsge, and as 800D a8 possible a physician and officers were on thespot. In the meautime, Libbey, the hired man, had appeared at the honss of Mr.' Langworthy's Drother, his face covered with blood, saking for bolp, in s state of great excitoment. His story is that ho and Irving were sitting in tho kitchen, reading, Cortland having gone to bed; that he heard & dog gtowl, and instantly saw & club fall on Irving's head ; that almost simultansously he was struck and rendered unconecious, snd that a5 soon as he recovered, &io ran out for assist- ance. His manner was confused, and some wrifling discropancies in his statement awakened Bsuspicion against him. Ho was arrosted, a_jury of inquest w8 at once summoned, bui elicited only the above facts, and adjonrned for a week. The murder, or murders, for it is next to impos- siblo for Cortland to recover, were committed with & heavy, blunt-odged weapon, which has not yet boen found. There was, so faras is Xknown, no ill-feeling betweon Libbey and the brothers. 3 Tho appearanco of tho kitchen justifies the helief that there was no dispute below, and the elder brother was unquestionably asloep when o was struck. But, on tho other hand, nothing of value was taken from the houso, and it oems impossible that the crime shonld have boen the work of thioves. Though the walls of thd rooms up-stairs_wore spattered with blood, there was nono on Libboy's clothing when he waa arrested, except from his own wonnds, which are slight. He is a native of Lewiston, ' Mle., and way dis- charged from tho mavy Iaat fall, when ho came here. The country is being searched for sus- picious characters, but thus far with no succoss. FIRES.

The lower floor, after the {fashion adopted at the last concert of the Club, was filled with tables and chairs, so that those who desired refreshments could obtain them, and these were completely occupied, while the spacious galleries wero also filled. The pro- gramme was an unusually varied one, embracing for solos Schubert's ** Der Neugierige,” and his charming “Brook Song" (Miss Ela White); Hulzel's “ Be Aine™ (Mr. Charles W. Bird); and Alfred Peaso's ** Fishers’ Song " (Mr. F. A. Bowen), Tho choral numbers were Frey's “How Came Love?” Liszt's difficule “Walk at DMidnight,” in which Miss White took the solo; ‘“John Anderson, My Jo,” and *Chalio is My Darling,” arranged for the Club by the conductor, Mr. Dobn; Becker's “Gallant Company;" Cross’ ¢ Serenade”; and Kuntze's ¢ Wine Galop.” All of these numbers were light except the * Walk at Midnight,” shich, like all of Liszt’s chornses, in extremely difficalt, and very close in harmony. At the very outset the first tenors started off flat, and for a time the tenors were cvidently walking in a very dark moonlight, notwithstanding tho effort of the guide at the pizno to lead them through “the lengthy street.” The muddle, howover, did not 1aat long. and. after recovoring themselves, the Club finishea it up in aamirable style. The tenors were weak thronghout, evi- dcuu{ wanting two or three tolling voices to hold them up. They need strengthening very badly, aithough it may be said, In justice to them, that three or four of their leading voices were absent. Miss White, in her Schubert solos, acquitted berself with great credit, and was en- thusiastically applauded. JIr. Bird needs much study yet to make sn effective soloist, aud he owos this study to avoice of such good quality. Mr. Dowen got an encore for his singing of Pease’s gong, although it isbuta trifle. 3dsa whole, the Club has done better work than it did 1ast evening, but the programme was 8o varied in character that the concert was an exceed- ingly pleasant ono, and gave groat satisfaction to the audience. The most interesting feature of the evening, especially to musicians, was the performance of the new quintette by r. Robert Goldbeck, for iano, violin, second violm, 'cello, and double Enss, an admirable combinasion of instruments, in four movements, an allegro, audante, scherzo, and finale. Ordinarily sn instrumental quin- tette in four movemonts would bo soo long for & concert of this description, but there is nothing wearisome in this number from the fact that the movements are all shott, each ono confined {0 a single theme and its_treatment, and that their intarcst never flags. The composer hns some- thing to eay in cach, and. when he says it, stops. 1In tbe choice of his themes, and the manner of working_them up, ho 18 very happy. Tho an- dante will probably always be the most poprlar movement of the thres, but in all of them, the themes, although simple, are very gracaful, and the finish of their treatment is in genuine clagsical style. Notling is done for elaboration or instrumental display. It might be ex- pected that, Mr. Goldbeck's instrument being the piano, it would be made more promunent than the strings, but such is not the case. Tho pinno part, although at times very brilliant, is admirably sdjusted to the others, and the strings really carry the motives of the work placed in o pisno setling. Tho great besnty of tho work ia its classical simplicity, perhaps we should rather say severity, as it would be & misnomer to call the music simple. Therais a clear, well-defined purpose in every movement, aud this purpose moves steadily on from the first note to the last, nover lost in obscurity nor complicated by musical pedantry. It is based upon tha best models, showing caretal study and appreciation, acd yetis mot & copy. As tested by claysical models, it shows moro distinct melodiousners, and more elogance, we might say daintioess, of finish in littlo dotsils—a charac- teristic of modern writers. In the large reper- toire of chamber music, Alr. Goldbock's quin- tetto will takea high position. It is sufficiont to plece bis reputation s a composer upon o enduring basis. Tho players (Mr. Gold- beck himsclt presiding at the piano), Mr. Lewis (firat violin), Mr. Allen (second io- tin), Mr. Eicheim (‘celio), and Mr. Bruce (double bass) aro entitled to great credit for the manner in which they playod, especially considering tho fact that tho quintetto is but just finished, and consequently they bavo had but little timo for rebearsal and study. The next concers of the Club will take placa May 28, upon which oceasion they will have the assistance of Mr. 8. B. Aille, the eminent New York pianist. OPERA BOUFFE. “La Petite Faust" was produced by the Aimes Troupe at McVicker's Thestre, last night, before a large and hilarious audience. Taers was causo for great deal of hearty langhter in the performance, eupecinll{ on the part of thoeo who had listened to the classic strains and wit- nessed the stilted acting of tho greater * Faust,” a more absurd burlesaue of which it would be simply impossible to imagine.

All the principal characters of the great original are rotamed in the bur- lesque, and a number have been sdded that were Dever thought of either by Goethe or Gounod. Aimee is the Marguerile—not tho demure, modestly-dreseed fraulein that wo have been used to seeing, but s wild, ini- pulsive mademoiselle with an ungovernable pas- sion for Jucking up her hecls, swinging her arms, and swaying her body wherever the slightest opportunity presents itself. Mons. Juteau takes tho character of Faust, whom he represents in a half-mnedimval acd balt-modern costume. It would be difficalt to determine which are the most promincnt in bis attire, tho ‘runk-hose of tho dark ages, or tho expansiva shirt-front, nobby *‘plug.” stunning eye-glass, and flashy T of the present era. Mlle, Stani, as histo, is the only ona who adheres tocustom, ber attire being the traditional one of red and black. In nearly every other respect she proves to bo a comparatively harmless, Dot to #ay accommodating devil. The costumes of the other characters arc in kecping with those already mentioned. The plot bas been so changed that the most ludicrous scenes in the barlesque occnr where love, despair.and death are pictured in the legitimate opera. For- instange, nearly every scene cloges with a wild but nav- ertheleas suggestive sort of can-can, which may be participated in by one person or by the entira chorus ; Valenfine returns from the wars in a genuine top buggy, drawn by s genaite horse, aad is killed by baving soufl thrown in his eyes by Mephisto; Marguerile marries Faust, contrary to the original text; and every other part of the obituaries, *‘ghe has climbed the golden stair.” This is the first of these cheerful snnual inci- dents, and, in spite of the weather, thers can no longer be any doubt that spring is here.
