PikG's 0PERA-HoUsE.-Heir at LaW.-The
attendance last night at Pixies was not large.
We are sorry to see such a disposition mani
tested toward this excellent company. The
bill to night consists of the old English COM

of Roland for an Oliver.
NATIONAL THEATER-Ddn Rice.--On over

elected great applause.

PROBATE COURT.

TIE EXTRA COMPENSATION CLAIM OF Nc
MICKEN's ExBCUToRs.-The claim Of Nc.
Mcken's executors in their original account
was put at $4,000. This item was subse-
quenily withdrawn from the account, and
tue compensation was left to the Court
John J.. Miner, who was then appointed a
Special Commissioner, allowed them SIS, 4je.
Judge Paddock thought this even far ex-
cteded what would be just and reasonable
compensation.
He remarked that they received by statu-
tory allowance $2,04l, and had considerable
assistance in the performance of their ordi-
nary duties, which the estate was charged
for; that the heirs of Charles McMickeu
were not his relatives or friends, but the
poor white boys and girls of the city of Gin
cinnati, of to day and the future, and the
fund was sacred one, to be guarded with
sleepless eyes-a high and holy trust, to be
executed ty pure and just men only.
What then should be allowed for these
services2 Considering the nature of the
tTust-wbich the trustees should not dimin-
ish by large rewards to themselves-that
they had so much assistance in the admins
tration, that they already received on ac-
count of ordinary commissions $2,04l, and
having regard to the testimony in the case
the Court arrived at the conclusion that the
sum of $500 among the three executor;
would be reasonable compensation foT
extra services-in the distribution Carey tc
receive $500 more than his brother execu
tors.

we learned that he lived in similar style.
Wishing to see him also, we could only learn
from the keepers that he was somewhere

convicts-who have anyamoney. In passing
through the female department, we were struck
with the high color Of a rather good looking,
middle. aged woman, where all look so pale ;
and on inquiry of the matroD, were told the
person in question was Mrs, Robinson, the
vailed murderess, who regularly rouges except
in rare instances when her material ia ex-
