opera House.

Last evening the renowned Duprez q
Benedict's Minstrels gave their first enter
tainment at the Opera House. The House
was well filled, nearly all the seats in the
dress circle and parquette being occupied.
Much was expected from what was known
OF the troupe, and from the fame which had
preceded their advent here. BUTT Is not
too much to say that these expectations,
high as theyswere, were more than realized.
Never have we seen an audience more tru-
ly gratiied, amused and enthusiastic at d,
feast of Ethiopian minstrelsy than was the
one at the Opera Hause last night. a 3. 3.
Where all is excellent as was the case
with the performances at the Opera House
last night, It is embarrassing, and may
seem invidiOus to particularize. The Brass
Band attached to the troupe, lisa very SUI
perior one, composed of first class muslcI,
ians. The vocal music was charming and
finely executed. Several of the songs sur
passed In melody and sweetness anything
ofthe kind we ever heard before. Those that
were of a comic character were equally
well rendered. .sh asa s7ai3b 4 'ti5f,l ssi9s,l
The jokes, bonmots and repartees were
generally novel, and created much merrl-i
ment. The dances and burlesques were
received with rounds Of applause and
bursts of laughter that testified how deeply
they contributed to the enjoyment and de-
light ofthe audience, Among other coml-
cal perfofmahces, the MockiDg Bird song,
as the saying is, drought down the
house. , and made it overran with hiffil'
ment.
The MIhstrels giyetheir second and last
entertainment at the Opera House tonight.

Mr.. Foos, Inspector OF the First District,
states that since his last report there have
been various nuisances abated, as privles
ana drains. He had found number Of
hog pens In his district, which, by the re-
cent heavy rains. are producing very bad
nuisances. A brick stable on the alley west
OF Front street, between Broad and Gay

dangerous, looking as though a small gust
of wind would blow It down. The alley IN
the rear of the stable IL in bad condition.

welearn, through couple Of gentlemen
who went from the city into that neighbor-
hood, that there was a. large school picnic
on Wednesday, in the grove near the resi-
dence of James Wright, ESQ., about mile
and half from Dublin, in this county.
The assembly numbered a thousand or
more persons, who brought their baskets
with them and had good time generally.
The exercises consisted of speeches, to-
gether with recitations, singing, &c, by
the children and youth. The instrumental
music for the occasion was contributed by
band from Westerville. We have not
been furnished with a detailed report Of the

from all we have heard, 1t must have been
highly gratifying to all who took part in

The two bogus aoorknen, who stole the
bracelets from r. Walkup's dwelling, as
noticed in our last issue, had a hearing
before Mayor Bull yesterday morning.
They gave their names as James Dulin
and Charles McAllister. The Mayor re-
quired them to give bail in the sum of $500
each for their appearance to answer the
charge in the Court, or else be turned over
to the tender mercies of Sheriff Domigan.
Not conforming with the former, they had
TO accept the latter alternative, and were
accordingly safely lodged in the new coun-
ty jail.

whether he could survive. The prospect Of
his restoration to them must be very graft

The exhibitions of this Circus Ia our
city came to close last night. We gave
in yesterday mornings issue our opinion of
the Circus and the artists connected with
it. 1t is hardly necessary to add more.-
Under the wide spreading canvass yester-
day afternoon and evening, large and de-
lighted assemblies were gathered. The
performances were all excellent, and many
of them surpassed anything ever witnessed
in the city before. The gentlemanly pro-
prletors are entitled to high commentator
for the selection they have made of talented
and skillful artists, and for the manage
ment and arrangement of the perfoI mances.
All the appointments OF their Circus are
admirable. We commend them to the ia
vor of the press and the liberal patronage
of the public. lr1 !ldsI l5ro.u5tle

It was with great pleasure that we lib-

composed of men Of all parties. He
said the Democrats (who were out of pow
err had criticised the late war; the New
England p0rty had done SO before them.
This did not make these parties however
any the less Supporters of the Government.
He charged that the Republican party
had abandoned the policy pursued by Mr..
Lincoln, that Congress had been seeking to
override the liberties of the people. showed
that the Civil Rights bill, Bureau bills, DC,
were uuwise and Unconstitutional declared
that this is emphatically white mans
government, to be ruled, by white men;
made very happy point OF the manner In
which the States after the war got out OF
the Union by abolition logic; concluded BY
saying he should vote the Democratic ticket
and hoped all patriots wonll do likewise.
This was necessary to checkmate the radi-
cal Senate.
His remarks were often applauded and
we hope may lead some to refiection.-
