"IHE HAHNAKERs" CT TIE O. H. S.-By reN
ference to our advertising columns il will be
seen that the Grand Exhibition Of the Central
High School will certainly come off at Huston
Hall on Thursday evening of his week, under
the direction Of Prof. Turpir. The main
feature Of the evening will be the performance
of an oPerstic CantRts, entitled "Ths Hay
makers," which is generally conceded TO be
superior to any pastoral opera of the kind ever
produced. The numerous pupils-mssters aud
misses-who represent the different characters
will be dressed in costume, with agricultural
implements suitable to the work, while the
whole process of making hay will be given in
the very best style Of opera. We have seen the
rehearsal, and can speak knowingly of the
acting and singingi the moving, raking, pitch-
ing and stacking processes are peculiarly in
terestingi and as we cannot describe 1t here, we
hope every one who sees this mention will be
present at Huston Hall on Thursday evening,
and see 1t done. The "leading character" Of
the piece is young gentleman from the city,
Snipkins by name, who il unused to rural
Affairs" will give his undivided attention to
the manual labor. aud ss he Is constantly "put.
ting his foot in it," We presume his labors will
be ludicrcua a. we'll as interesting. The assis,
lance Of the entire corps Of Haymakere will Of
course add to the effect and put up the interest.
Our advice is--go by all means and see 1.-THE
Hsymnkers" at Huston Hall on Thursday night;
IL will richly repay the trouble and expense.

one Of great agreoableneSs. 1t is unnecessary

OF the fair eantstriesi the people of Dayton
fortunately know what is in store for them tos
night. Prof TOsso is also pretty well known
to Dayton audience, having been here on
several occasions. Prof. Dannreuther is noted
as pianist, and will. we feel sure, answer ex-
peetations. In word, the concert at Huston
Hall tonight will, we believe. be very enter
tanning affair.

A NEW "CoDE."-We have received from an
artist friend, Her K. q sketch Of new
style Of duel, which We hope will be adopted
by the directors Of the "cods" 1t is simply
this: Two men who have conceive dislike for
each other, and have given and received mortal
affront determine to appeal to the code. They
have platform built similar to the gallows
prepared for criminals, with crOss-beam above
it; to this beam are attached two pullsys; the
men take their position under each pully; ropes
are then placed with a slip-nose around the
ueeks Of these gentlemen, and after the ends
are put through the pullyes, they are taken in
the hands Of either party to the "sffair." and
pulling at the cords with all their strength,
they proceed TO hang each Othsrl The one
who first yields and relHxss his hold on his
autagonist's rope is q 'gOner." and the affair
is at an endl We approve Of our friends plan
for "new CODE" and hope II will prevail.

TnE BALLs.-We attended three Balls last
evening, devoting the first part Of night to
these terpsichoresn entertainments. The Ball
Of the Lafayette Guard at Nixon Hall, corner Of
lst aud st. Clair streets was very largely at
tended. The Hall was beautifully and appro-
priAtely decorated with the flags of all nations,
sad = variety Of devices and ornaments; very
liberal proportion Of American flags decked the
festive scene. OF course everybody enjoyed
themselves, or seemed to. Capt. Dister, and
the Committee generally labored assiduously
for the pleasure Of the guests.
The Montgomery Guard held their Ball in
Beckeps Hall, and Notwithstanding the inclems
ency Of the evening, and the dislike ladies
have to "soing out" on such night, the party
was quite large, and they seemed to enjoy
themselves vastly. II strikes Us that Davis
Band furnishes good music, and dancers Ger.
tainly understand the "calls," as they are very
plainly made.
The "Turnverein" gave Ball at their Hall
last night; we learn that IL is their regular
yearly hop, given on every return Of Easter
Monday night. Their Hall was also we'll filled
with gay throng Of young people. and the
Waltz, as also at the YeAger Ball, ruled the
night
To those who dance these balls afforded
vast deal Of amusement, to say nothing about
the exercise, which was "hsavy." The "seasu
on of bAlls" is absut over.

Council adjourned till this evening.

Owe visited Raper Chapel Sunday, and
heard an excellent sermon, by the Rev. DR.
Crum, from the text-"Then were the disciples
glad when they saw the Lord" The topic was
the resurrection Of Jesus Christ. The Rev
speaker, after q short and appropriate introduc.
tion, said, there were two accounts given Of the
disappearance Of the body Of Christ from the
toombi one was by his enemies, and the other
by his friends. The former, he showed in a
matterly manner, was unworthy Of credsnce,
while the account given by his friends, who
knew Of what they spoke, commended itself to
every mans mind and conscience as truthful
and worthy TO be received.
In speaking Of the Importance Of the event,
the Rev. gentleman was very eloquent-his
scriptural proofs and illustrations of his point
were appropriate and beautiful. The resurec-
tion Of our Lord was the foundation stone Of
all the christians expectations; the sheet anchor
Of all his hopes. We have not time nor ability
70 give scarcely an outline Of the discourse, so
appropriate to the day and SO eloquenlly de-
livered. During the latter part Of the sermon
the speaker was much affected, and many OF
his auditors were bathed in tears. The dis
course was one to which no man could listen
without being made better at heart. @.
