THE RAILROAD WINTER CAMPAIGN.-A
Convention of Railroad Presidents and
Superintendents held session at the Bur-
net House, in this CITY, yesterday, to ar
range the time;tablee and fare for the winter
labors with supper, which was served up
in the usual excellent style of the Burnet
House, under the influence of which a gen.
eral interchange of good feeling and faith in
the future of American railroads, took place.
After kind of general class-meeting of rail-
road experience, Johnson, of the Burnet,
was called out, and responded directly to the
point. Alta late hour the Convention broke
up, the members apparently on the best
terms with each other and the rest of man

Hester Pike and Lewis Pike. Tried before
Judge Storer and a jury, to subject the pro-
ceeds of promissory note.
Flamen Ball Us John Jollihe, executor.
The defendant was sued as executor of the
will of Elijah Willis, for legal services rem
dered by the plaintiff. In 1856 Mr.. Willis
came to this city to emancipate colored
woman and her six children, of whom he
was the father. He died suddenly upon ar
irving here of apoplexy, and Mr.. Bali being
called for, rendered professional services to

deceased left a will, leaving all his property,
about forty thousand dollars worth of real

sonal assets, to his children above alluded
to. The jury returned a verdict for the

THE SEVENTEENTH WARD RAILROAD
Three Propositions from Mr.. KilgouT.-Mr.
Kilgour, we understand, intends to make
these three propositions to the people
of the Seventeenth Ward, and to the
City Council, and is willing to build
a street railroad to Pendleton on the
conditions prescribed in either: lst. He
will bowlder between both tracks, and
extend the road to the new corporation line,
Council giving him the privilege of carrying
through passengers at ten centI each, and is
suing tickets at the discretion Of the COM
pany; he likewise agrees to make the neces-
sary order Immediately for bowldering and
putting in the culverts; provided Council
will remove the per-eapita tax, so far as that
road is concerned.
2. He viii bowlder one of the tracks, pay
the per-cdpita of the present road, and sell
three tickets for twenty-five cents.
g. Per-eapita tax TO remain as in the
second proposition, and the company to b'
relieved Of all bowldering in consideration
of which, the rate of single through tar'
shall be ten cents, and package tickets shRl
be sold at the rate Of seventeen for III.

AMUsENIENTs.

PiKEis 0PERA-HoUsE.-Pike's 0pera-house
was crowded last night, TO witness the eX-
travaganza of the Invisible Prince, and the
entel tainment given by the Siegrist & Zan-
iretta troupe. The same bill will be pre-
sentf tonight, and we have no doubt but
that the attendance will be increased.
NATIONAL THEATER.- Colleen Bdwn, which
has had an unusually successful run for
about two weeks, will be withdrawn after
Tonight. All those who desire to witness
this play should embrace this, the last OPP
portunity.
HOME CONCERT. - A home concert in
which Mr.. Tosso, the well known violinist
Madame Stahl, the harpist, Mrs. Drew, the
popular vocalist, and others, are to take part,
will be given next Thursday evening at
Smith 4 Nixon's Hall. The programme Sc.
lected is good one, and we hope the enter
tainment will be largely attended.
GRAND OPERkrIC CoNcERTs.-By reference
TO our advertising columns il will be seen
that the celebrated lyric artistes, Pauline
Colson, Brignoli, Ferri and Susini all of
whom but the last, have appeared here
in Italian opera, will give two concerts on
Friday and Saturday evenings of next week,
at Smith Il Nixon's Hall. We are no friend
Of such emasculated entertainments as these
artistes propose to furnish, especially after
having heard them in the complete works of
the great composers; but as we are likely to
have no opera for some time, it will be
pleasant to hear these favorites even in a
concert, and we have no doubt they will
have large audiences.
CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOME OF
THE FRIBNDLEss.-The concert for the benefit
of the Home of the Friendless, at Smith &
Nixon's Hall, last night was largely at
tended, every part of the room being
crowded. This is highly gratifying to the
benevolent projectors Of the enterprise
whose labors in behalf of the unfortunate
deserve the greatest credit
The performance was entirely satisfactory
to the immense auditory, and the overtures,
performed on eight pianos, by some twenty
four misses, pupils of Madame Rive, were
really well executed. The vocalism of the
pupils, as well as that of Mesdames Rive and
Kitchell, was worthy of more especial men,
tion than our limited space affords.
