TUE CoNcERTs LAST, NIaHTs-The concert
ldf the Clpcinnati Harmonic Society, at the
Opera House last night, was In every re-
specta complete success. Our Cincinnati
friends were greeted with one of the larg-
est and most brilliant audiences that ever
assembled in our beautiful dramatic tenn
pie, and the expectations OF those present
were fully realized. We never asplred 70
be a musical critic, but those among us who
are competent judges In these matters are
enthusiastic In their concentrations of the
performance last night. The @Oratorio OF
Elijah was, in their opinion, maguifcentIy
rendered. and the various solos. duets and
choruses were all very creditably per-
formed. The entertainment, taken all In
an, was one of rare excellence, aud was
greatly enjoyed by those whose pleasure
and privilege it'was TO represent. !" ]
The large party from Cincinnati, inelud-
ing the Society and numerous host Of
friends, left at twelve o'clock for their
homes, and, We are gratifed to state, ar
rived there in safety. We trust that the
results of the, excursion proved as pleasant
to our guests as It did to our own people.
The OPERA HoUsE.-To-night at the
Opera House, will be performed the excit-
ing and beautiful drsmalof the "Postman
and his Dogs in which Mr.. Blanchard will
appear with his celebrated trained dogs.
The entertainment will conclude with the
popular and delightful play Of the "Soldier
of Fortune" There is capital bill for to-
night, and the house should be filed. t
HUsToN Notwithstanding the
attraction at the Opera House last night,
the celebrated exhibition of the Miltonian
Tableau, at Huston Hall, was largely at
tended, and the splendid paintings gave
great delight to the appreciative audience.
All who witnessed it express themselves
well pleased; and, indeed, there are so
many beauties in the Tableaux that one
will hardly tire looking at them. They
will bear seeing half dozen times. II Is
one of the really excellent entertainments
that we seldom witness here. We hope to
see the Hall crowded this evening. 1t viii
well repay a visit. . q

On Saturday evening a serious affray oc-

at the grocery. Subsequently one of the
party named William Harrison, left to

picked up by the way, approached the gro-

PRETTY FAIR HrT.-The following will
shit good many individuals in almost any
locality: A.H.t
A so-called Union man, who once had
acted with the Democratic party, as it was
said, for patronage sake, the other day tried
to justify his change Of sentiment to a Dem
ocrat, and wound up by saying that ''the
Democratic party, when last in power, was
so corrupt that it was shame for any de-
cent man to have anything to do with it."
'Oh," said the Democrat, "the Democratic
party has undergone a complete publication
within the last four years" ''How So" ea-
gerly inquired Mr.. Abolitionist.rn t.Why.r
slowly responded the other, ''all the id
rascals left the Democratic party at the
breaking out of the war to secure share of
the plpnder, and we thus got rid of them.
There was Forney, and Ben. Butler, and
-? Without waiting to hear the balance
Of the list our negroist moved rapidly up
the street.
