ENGLISH OPERA.-AmOng the numerous
amusements of this century, the Opera is ac-
knowledged by all civilized nations to be the
most refined as we'll as entertaining. In this
far northwestern State, shut up as we are for
many months from amusements of all kinds,
we hail with pleasure the advent of an artist
among us, whose reputation in the Eastern
States is sure guarantee, that whatever he
undertakes is fully carried out to the very
letter of his promises. We refer to the ad-
vertisement of Prof Rohr, late conductor of
the leading musical societies in Philadelphia,
and formally member Of Seguin's Mad. Anna
Bishops, Miss Richings, and the great Albonis
Opera Troupes. 1t is the intention Of Prof
Rohr, if he receives the patronage of the pub
lie, to bring out during the winter the follow
ing operas The Bohemian Girl, Sonnambu-
la, Cinderella and Norma; the series will be
opened on Tuesday..n next with the favorite op-
era "La File du Regiment in English al
so the laughable farce of ''The Rough Dia-
mond" As the price of admission to these re-
fined and refining entertainments is but so
cents mo doubt to suit the times,) we trust
they will be patronised.

Tue WEATHER, RIVER, &c.-The cold
weather of the last few days still continues,
so that as a matter of course the river is near
ly full of floating ice to-day. We learn that
the ice is gorged at Hastings, so that no more
boats may be expected up this season.
The Golden Era came up yesterday as far
as Hastings The Key City turned back
from Reeds Landing. The Antelope mas ols-
continued her trips from the Minnesota river
Navigation, therefore, for all practical pur-
poses, may be considered as closed.
A mail came up on the Golden Era yester-
dav. and was distributed this morning. To
morrow the first land mail from La Crosse
will arrive by Burbank's stages, so that no in

In 1856 the season was peculiar. The last
boat left here on Nov. 7th. The ice was run
ming in the river strongly, and gorged above
Hastings. The weather remained very warm
and mild for number of days, the thermom-
eter standing above 400 much of the time, and
the ice totally disappeared in the river here.
Boats ran from below, as far as Hastings up
to the 10th, and the warehouses at Prescott
and Hastings were overflowing with goods for
ST. Paul
In 1851 the last boat, the Northern Light,
left on the evening of the 18th Nov. Ice was
running, but it was thought boats could have
come up for 3 or days longer.
In 1858, the Northern Light was again the
"last boat" down, leaving here on the evening
of Nov. 18th. The weather was warm and
mild after the close Of navigation, for several
days; the ice totally disappeared from the
river here-and up as late as Nov. so, it was
reported open all along the river, so that boats
might run. The Time & Tide was advertised
to leave on the morning of the 3Oth, for La
Crosse, but cold snap came on again,--thc
ice commenced running again, and it was not

RECIPE FOR CURING HAMs.-We find the
following recipe in all exchange =" To one
gallon OF water take one and a half pounds of
good salt, one half p ound of sugar, and half
an ounce saltpetre- to be increased in this
ta''o to any quantit y required to cover the
MANS. As soon as your pork is cold, cut out
Tue mans and pack them closely in your cask.
Sprinkle each lay er with fine salt put on a
weight, and pour On the brine Immediately,
and before the Juice of the ham has escaped.
1t will require from four to six weeks for the
Salt to strike through, according to the size of
the hams 1t will be necessary, perhaps, to
add lit .Ae salt on top of the hams some.
times, if, they are very large, they absorb SC
much of the salt as to leave the brine so weak
it mF.y sour. 1t would be well to take then
up after they have been in week or two
ard, if necessary, add a little more salt Grea
care should be taken not to salt too much, al
by so doing you lose the flavor of the ham
and but just enough should be used to keeI
them. As the ham absorbs the salt from th'
brine, it should be fed by adding little sal
on the top, and the hams should be wei
struck through. VIII en- the hams are larg

THE SCHILLER JUBILEE LAST NlGuT.--The
"Athenaum' last night was respectfully filled
at an early hour with our German citizens,
and their wives, with not few natives"
also, to do honor to the memory of one who
enriched the literature of his country by some
of the choicest works in that language. Eve
rything was very systematically arranged
more so than many American gatherings We
have attended here-and every ticket had
seat at the table marked with correspond
ing number. The tables, of which there were
five running the whole length of the room
were capable of accommodating nearly 800
persons at once, and were we'll filed with
substantial feast, got up by Messrs. c. e c.
Schiller, who evidently understand the art of
catering to the public appetite, Judging from
the ample justice done to the eatables while,
for potabes, Rhein wine, the beverage of the
Fatheriand, figured chiehy-an excellent
drink, promotive of digestion, and not intoxi-
eating.
The Germans are eminently social people.
They never meet except for quiet and intel
lectual enjoyment-sit long at the table, are
sober, yet merry. This was just the type OF
the Schiller Festival last night, and though
we were deprived of any enjoyment of the
toasts, speeches, and sentiments, we could
understand the excellent music, which was
principal feature of the entertainment, and
the gymnastic exhibition, by the Turner's, was
really good.
The whole affair was orderly and quiet,
and every one enjoyed himself and herself
Tor the pretty German lasses formed large
portion of the audience-and went away wish
ing no doubt, to live hundred years longer,
IN order TO enjoy another centennial anniver-
Sary Of Schiller's Birth.
One OF Ss,INIER's POEMS FOUNDED on AN
INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WITHIN THE PRESENT
LIMITS OF ST. PAuL-At the late Schiller CEN
tennary in st. Paul, a fact connected with the
poems of Schiller was overlooked by the ORA
tors of the day, which would have added in
terest to the occasion. AS will be seen, one
of the finest poems of the great poet was writ
ten on an incident that happened within the
limits of st. Paul. From Neill's History OF
Minnesota, page 50, we quote
"On the bluff above the dilapidated cave
which forms the eastern limit of St. Paul.
there is an ancient burial place. Here the
Dakotah's formerly brought their dead and
performed solemn services.
Carver, in his travels, publishes the al.
legged speech over the remains of Dakotah
brave-the reading of which so attracted the
attention of the great German poet, Schiller,
that he composed poem called the "Song of
the Madowesse Chief" Goethe considered il
one of his best, 'and wished he had made a
dozen SUCH"
Our German friends and others curious in
such matters, will find the speech of Carver,
and the translations Of the poem by Sir E. L.
Bulwer and Sir John Herschell, on pages
211 and 80 and 80, of Neill's History of Min
neSota.

line the bank of the Mississippi. Growing
at the luck, but ever willing to accommodate,
he gave orders to land the boat. Arriving at
the landing, the Capt inquired from the hur-
ricane deck, if there was any freight to 60
aboard?
ANs.-,No, Capt, there ai'nt no freight nor
nothing, but can't you gioe a teller chow

WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY.-All who suffer from
weakness or debility, where there is want of en-
ergy, should at once have recourse to Judson's s
Mountain Herb Pills. They Immediately purify
the blood and act upon the handspring of life, CIV
ing strength and vigor to the system. Young per-
sons entering into womanhood, with derange-
ment of the functions, and to mothers at the turn
of life these Pills will be most eticacous in cor
recting the tide of life that may be on the turn
Young and elderly men suffer in a similar manner
at the same periods, when there is always danger.
They should therefore undergo course of this
purifying medicine, which ensures lasting health.
This great Household Medicine ranks among the
leading necessares of life, as it is well known to
the world that 1t cures complaints other remedies
cannot reach; this fact is as well established as
that the Sun lights the world. Judson' Mountain
Herb Pills are sold by all Dealers in Medicine.
