MARROW ESCAPE PROM DRowNIHd.-A
woman by the naue of Eilinger, living on
Kinsmsn street, had narrow escape from
drowing yesterday afternoon, She fell into
the river above the Seneca street bridge
exactly where or in whatm is unknown,
and was first seen by man who wal. stand
ing on that bridge, as she was borne under
it by the current. Luckily for her, her
clothing sustained her so that she did not
once sink beneath the surface. The alarm
was given and scOw pushed out into the
river from point near the stocks of the pro-
peIler Arctic, in Peck & Masters ship-yard.
The current bore her along swiftly and soon
brought her near the seow, ,whenshe was seized
blythe dress and pulled out in safety, after
having been in the water about five minutes
was taken to q neighboring house and the
proper rsstsrativss applied. Being an old
wOman-nearly sixty years Of age-the
shock to her system was great, but she is
rapidly recovering and will soon cease to
feel the effects Of the accident.

ITALIAL OPERA.-Our Opera season
opens tonight with the great chef d. osuvre
of Flotow, Martha" in which Herr
FOrmss will appear in his great original
role Of Plunkett. There will be full house
to hear this unrivalsd basso, and We trust
that his reception may be one prOpOrtiOnats
to his fame and prestige. Let US welcome
back the queenIy Morsnsi, too, the petite
Castri, and our other old acqusintancss of
the company, with the enthusiasm they so
well deserve.
"Un Ballo in Maschera " Is announced for
tomorrow evening.
Madame Whiting, who has just Joined tho
company, is cantatrice of great power and
beauty. Her debut in Europe was a very
successful one. The National Zeituag Der
linz thus speaks of her.
The prima donna appeared last night as
the Queen in 'Senirsmids' This is the role
in which the lamented Henrietta Sontsg took
leave of the stage and public Of Berlin, and
Signora Whiting must think it no light praise
when we aver that in the singing and acting
she nearly, and in some portions of the 0pe-
ra quite, equslIed that great idol of the Ber-
lin public. Signora Whiting possesses a
voice Of wonderful compass and rare fexibil-
ity. In the air Bel raggio lusinghier' Zone
OF the most beautiful ever written by Ros-
slnl) also in the duct and throne soone, she
completely electrified the audience. She was
several times called before the curtain amidst
showers of bouquets. In short, her success
was the most complete and perfect of any
singer since the days of the divine Sontag."
