Mr.. Bartlett has kindly sent me the following

great credit:
2. T. Baclloseo- My dear Mr.. Backland, had
intended to write to you before j left town. but
eonld not find tine. You viii be glad to know that
have succeeded inperforming perhaps the largest,
not the greatest dental operation on record Our
male hippepotanlas has BEEN as yoz know, suffer-
ing from the fractured tooth, and fearing that the
consequences might be serious, Ihaye had strong
oak fence fixed between his pond and the iron
ratings, and ! then determined to remove the
broken tooth; this accomplished on HE morning
Of Wednesday last, but not without fearful strug-
gle. had prepared a. powerful pair Of forceps,
oyeT two feet long; with these grasped his ffac-
tured incsor, thinking, with firm and determined
twist to gain possession of that fine piece of ivory
This, however, was not qate so easily done, for
the brute amazed at ny impudence. rushed back
tearing the instrument from my hands, and, look
ing as wild as hippopetainrs can lock, charged
at me just as had recovered my forceps. made
another attempt, and thistme held on long enough
to cause the loose tooth to shift its position but
was again obliged TO relinqnsh my hold. i had, !,
however, no occasion to say, A0pen your month";
for this he did to the fullest extent; therefore I
mad no difficulty in again seizing the coveted
morsel, and this time drew IL from his monstrous
Jaws. One of the most remarkable things appear

blown from the dilated nostsls of this great beast
while enraged 1t came into my face with force
that almost startled me. A. d. BARTLETT.

peared from Essex When he left home he took

covering any trace Of him. A few days ago, how
ever, three young men, in walking through the
woods, discovered d skeleton, and lying beside it
was the knife Andrews carried away, together with

MADEMoIsELLE ADELINA PATTI-As our readess-
doubtless know, we are to have chance to
hear this youthful prima donna at the New Opera
House. on next Wednesday evening, She is to
make her debut Lteta'in the opera of g Lucia di
Lammerrnoor,i y assisted by thefu strength of Mr..
Boudousque's company. Mile Patti has not failed
to excite the most enthusiastic admiration from her
audiences wherever she has been. Her admirers
claim that she is q singer little inferior to Jenny
Lind in voice, superior in personal attractions and
is better actress. She is no new d6butante, al
though she is now scarcely IL when only years
of age she sang of the most difficult operate
airs with such success at q concert, that she was
considered an infant prodigy. She comes honestly.
by her musical genius and voice, her whole family
having been celebrated on the stage both in Ea-
rope and the United States. Her mother was Mime
Bari Patti, prima donna in Grand Opera at Milan
and Madrid, and her sisters (Ciotilda, who marry
red the son Of Col Thorn, and Amelia, the wife of
Maurice Strakosch) were all singers Of great merit
Adena Patti was born in 1913, at Madrid, where
her mother was filling an engagement as prima
donna at the Grand Theater. She came to this
her first appearance above mentioned, as one of
the leading features in series of concerts gotten
up by her brother-in-law Strakosch, in connection
| with Ole Bull After making a highly successful
tour of the United States and the British Provinces
during which she created the greatest enthusiasm,
her parents receiving as her share Of the profits
| the sum Of $4,000. She went to the West Indies
| in company with Gottschaik, the pianist, and in
| every city divided the honors with him. Last win
| ter she made her debut in regular opera at the
| Academy Of Music in New York, and created q
perfect furore. She sang with immense success in
the part of Lucia, in 'Lueia di Lammermoor; u
4n,tnd, in Somnambaa;n y Etoitd, in Pnritani Y,
Henrietta, in " Martha = Zeiliaa, in :" Don Govan-
ni;n Rosina, in Barbiere;n Nornia, in g Pas
| quale, and 4ndede, in MosGn
| She is not a mere mechanical snger-she throws
her whole soul into her song and the effect is cleo
| trica We not at all doubtful as to her success
here, where the only regular opera in the Union is
sustained Our people are just the kind of an au-
dence most likely to appreciate and be captivated
/ by her The laurels to be won here are well worth
the winning, and this youthful genius will surely
i wear them. g@

PANIC IN TRU1ILLo. o.-Adyices from Belize; Hem
duras, state that great excitement and alarm pre-
vailed at Ruatan, TruxiIIo and Omoa, in conse
quence of report that number Of men had
arrived at the former island in fruit vessels, sup
posed to be fiibusters. n large steamer with a
schooner in tow, was seen of the coast, and both
vessels full of mea. There is also another report
that no less than thousand men have been landed
on the Mosquito coast. Trade is neglected in con-
sequence; and even if it should turn out to be a
odnard, the reports will have misehievous effect
on business.

THE BEST L1GHT,-Among all the modern inven-
tions and improvements none have contributed
more to the comfort and happiness of mankind than
those which have produced the best and cheapest
light. There is nothing in social economy more
desirable than the best means of furnishing sub
sute for daylight, the persistent industry Of the
human race atW put the hours Of darkness to use.
In oden times men resorted to the rudest and most
simple modes Of obtaining this desderatum-a torch,
or an earthen or iron pot, with wick, floating in
coarse, filthy oil. Later they invented candles and
lamps, and some years ago hit upon that incendary
demon, eamphene, which destroyed more property
and caused more loss Of life, than can well be
believed by any one not familiar with its history.
Now, however, thanks to some inventive genius,
we can provide ourselves with white, brilliant
and steady light, from pure and perfectly non
explosive oil, Mt cost far below that of any sort
of candles, OF of any other sort of Illuminating
fluid 1t is as brilliant as the best gas light,
perhaps more brilliant, and has the inestimable
advantage over it of being perfectly clear and
unwayering, besides being far cheaper. We
allude to the coorless and scentess coal oils,
Kerosene and Paraffine, for sale at No. Ghartres
street, by Fl. o. Covert, who has besides ample
stock of lamps, and all manner of illuminating fix
lures on hand. See advertisement in another
column.
