The OPERA HoUsE.-THE MATINEE
There was an immense audience at the
Opera House last night--a spontaneous out
pouring of the public. Great must be, as
1t unquestionable Is, the popular apprecia-
tion of the merits of Mrs. Efie Ellsler.
whose benefit drew this great throng to-
gether. The entertainment fully equaled
public expectation. ''
In the new play called "Hard Struggle"
Little Efile as Amy, with her songs, and
beautiful representation of the character,
charmed every body. The entire piece
went off amid testimonials of delight from
all parts of the house.
Of Aladdin, 1t is unnecessary to speak at
length. 1t was presented last night with
the same gorgeous scenery, and the same
power of brilliant representation as hereto
fore. The oftener it is produced, the more
1t seems to grow in popular favor, 1t will
be reproduced tonight, preceded by live
ly and laughable farce. .....-....,..-,..-.
As this is the last week of the present
season of Manager Ellsler's Company at the
Opera House, every one should make it
point to enjoy the beautiful and grand play
Of Aladdin-one of the most interesting and
splendid dramas ever produced OH the
stage. ,-.. ..,tr..-. ......., 5, l,f-- --. 4
- The Matinee which was postponed on
Saturday, on account of the great sorrow in
which our community was so suddenly
plunged, will positively take place to-mor-
row wednesday, afternoon & l. % al
Tomorrow evening is set apart for the
benefit of that accomplished actress, Mrs.
Bradshaw.

From Havana.

New YORK, April 17.-By the steamer
Havana we have Havana dates of the 18th.
The steamer Eagle brought in the news of
the fall of Richmond, her colors flying and
her machinery decorated. AS she rounded
Moro Castle she fired thirteen guns. Union
men rejoiced exceedingly and rebels looked
gloomy. .r..s5
A secessionist named Conner had been
sentenced to ten years imprisonment for
drawing a pistol on a coachman in an alter
cation.
Yellow fever and small pox have appear
ed in Havana. 7
There is no truth in the report that Capt.
Maffit has been imprisoned In Moro Castle.
The Little Hattie, without clearance pa
pers, tried to run out on the 9TH, but was
forced to return by the water battery. The
Flamingo arrived the same day with cotton.
Passports are required to be shown by
everybody going to the United States. -
Exchange about 35d. Sugar has fallen

Scene I'm the Theater.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE murderers
have probably escaped across the Potomac
to MOsby.
The ball entered the head of the President
In the back, near the base of the brain, took
direct route toward the right eve, struck
the orbital bone, rebounded and lodged sew
eral inches from the surface. The ball was
flattened.
The following is copy of note sent to
Vice President johnson last Saturday, but
which was only found on his table yesterday
among other papers:
~ do not wish to disturb you, but would
be glad to have an interview.
[Signedl ~. w. BOOTH"
Mr.. johnson was out at the time, and
never saw the note till yesterday.
The wounds.infiicted on the Secretary's
face have greatly reduced the inflammation
and pain caused by the accident, and the
contrivance of adjusting the jaw In wire
prevented the assassin's knife from severing
the artery. Nd quosiss yhsL,i 1870
1t appears by the Herald's account that
Major Rathbone was not aware of the

heard the pistol, when, turning, he saw the
man within six feet of the President. The
Major sprang toward and seized him. The
man struggled, and at the same time made
thrust at the Majors breast with a knife.
The Major received the blow on his left
arm near the shoulder, and at once again
sprang for him, but only caught his cloth
ing, which he partially tore from him. AS
he sprang from, the box he cried, "Stop
that man." and thinking it impossible for
him to escape from the crowd below turned
to the President. The President had not
changed, his position, except that his eyes
were closed and his head slightly bent for
ward. The whole time consumed by the
assassin from the time Of entering the box
and disappearing, did not consume thirty
seconds. SiFla .Agl p1s,fr { e y sls

CIRcLEy1ILE. Feh. 16th. 1s6b.

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compara-
lively, a greater heating surface; produces
alargervolume of heat with a given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air In respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
perior !; the admission OF cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flnes from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after a careful examina-
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only In Western,
but also in Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

BOUNTY BONDS.
Under the provisions of the ordinance Of
the Council passed August l, 1854, and the
supplementary ordinance passed August 15,
1854, authorizing the City Of Columbus to
issue bonds for the payment of bounties to
volunteers under the call of the President

Gil and the City Clerk issued 23l bonds of
500 each, with coupons attached, "a of
which are for two years; "a for four years,
and " for six years, with interest at six per
cent? per annum, payable annually on the
first day Of August.
The amount of interest due on the first
day of August next will be sl,8S6. The
bonds due two years after date, amounting
to $7,7OO, will be due Augustl, 1866, and
provision will have to be made for levying
tax on the duplicate of 1866 for the reve-
nue. to pay the same, and also the interest
for 1865 and 1866; making the amount to be
raised by taxation for this purpose alone

pay the bonds and interest on the same, as
they become due.
