DEAR BENNETT
don't see that you have a correspondent at this
place. II desirable, may drop you an occasional
line Buffalo is going ahead at grand rate
building in every part of the city-haibor filled
with forest ofshipping crowded with bales
and boxes-stores heaped with new goods and
thronged with purchasers. Such a season for bust
ness has not been known here for years-al is bus
tie, animation, life, vivacity, and the Herald does
its full share towards keeping up the spirit of the
population. Hawks has got back into the post of
fee with his literary depot "John Tyler is the
greatest man In the country, and g. G. Haddock
the next greatest" That's the way Hawks talks
now, and, of course he is in great favor with the
post master

The subject was postponed, and a special meeting
of the council held to consider this grave subject.
But the council were only coquettns with the mat

the moral majority, including the deacon, voted
against suppressing the third tier! This fact is
worthy of note, as showing the progress Of LIBERAL
opinions among the brethren The petition referred
to stated that the theatre public place for as
slgnations with loose women. Perhaps this was

to keep it so-put that and that together. Another

ITALIAN OrERA.-The opera seria of this sea-
son was lnaugurated last evening with the well
known Lucia di Lammermoor which attract
ed good, if not very crowded audience
The cast being the same as before ; and having
at the proper time fully discussed the merits
of music and execution, IT only remains 10 say
that we found the same excellency and correctness
which made the opera of the first Borghese,
who appeared to be little nervous daring her
sortita recovered herself in the following duet, in
which she displayed her wonted brancy and
brarourc !; her recitatives were very emphaticalIy
given, and all her other pieces delivered with
an invariably fervid expression. The beautiful part
of Edgaro, which is full of earnest feeling and de-
mands at the hands Of the singer, something more
than mere skill OF vocallzation, was uncommonly
well sustained by Perozzi, who never sung better
than last evening, and proved himself fully equal TO
the required capacity for expressing the vared emo
lions OF deep passion, particularly IN the duet
"pcrano a te sui ause," and IN the "mdledet sid
ristdnte." Valteina, who has yielded 10 the die
OF common and sell interest, re-appeared
before the public in his role OF Arturo. He was
well received, and sung with his usual spirit and
taste. The chorusses acquitted themselves
WELL we'll as the orchestra, barring an occasional
dragging of time and roughness IN the accompanl-
nents. The next opera is the Puritan, in which
Saniini will make his debut Riccardo, formerly
III the hands of Malocchi.

reached us il appears that two canal aborers occu-
pied adjoining shanties; both were married, one
having children, the other none One of the chill
dren threw chip or something of that sort into the
shanty Of his fathers neighbor, which so enraged
him that he gave the child severe thrashing The
father was absent at the time on his return he
was informed Of the circumstance, and ii put him
into such passion that he seized an axe and sailed
out, threatening cut down the shanty of the Of
fender, who met him, having armed himself with
similar weapon. With these axes they fought, and
the sad result was that the father OF the child was
killed dead on the spot, while his wife, who had
thrown herself upon his body to protect it, had one
of her le rs broken, and was otherwise so seriously
injured that it was feared she would not recover
The other man and his wife absconded, and nothing
has been heard OF them since.-Niagara Canada
