THE OPERA.-The operatic season OF the
Ghioni and Susini troupe Was commenced
last night with "Ernani." The audience
was good, though for variety Of causes
not so large as last season. In point OF
beauty and brilliancy, however, 1t was
very remarkable. The performance In
every way equalled xpe0tation-the old
members fully keeping up Weir reputation,
and the new ones fulfilling all that has been
said Of them. They were greeted with
applause. Madame Ghioni as Elvirs did
excellently well. She has a magnificent
appearance, which, added to her admirable
voice and action, cannot fail to call forth
the appreciation and admiration of her
hearers. In the aria "Ernani Involani"
her voice was brought into full play she
rendered it beautifully.
Susini is splendid, and in the role Of
Silva was much admired. His rich voice
was shown to advantage in the " Infelice,"
and it could hardly have been sung better.
The warm welcome he received showed
him to be an old favorte here. Irfre has
a very good tenor voice, and did justice to
the part of Ernani. His notes in the up
per register are very clear, and his trem.
bic is we'll regulated. Ardavanni was fully
up to the character Of Charles w., and was
much admired. The chorus and orchestra
have been greatly improved by additions
since last season. On the whole, the per.
formance was entirely satisfactory, and
everybody was we'll pleased.
Tonight we have "Crispino Ia Comare," !"
in which Canissa, Susini, Maria, Errani,
and COletti will appear. This is new
comic opera, in which a great many lively
sparkling airs occur. 1t has been received
with great eclat In Paris and New York.

THE HORSE STEALING CAsE.-The negro
John Bcechum charged with stealing q
horse from the premises of the late Mrs.
Picot was taken before Justice Wade, of
Henrico county, yesterday, and remanded
to jail to be examined before the County
Court. The case is very plain one. The
stable was broken open with pitchfork,
the horse was stolen, and subsequently
found in Richmond in possession of the
prisoner, who was endeavoring to make o
raise by Offering him for sale. Beechum
was utterly unable to show that he came
by the horse honestly, and the Justice had
but little difficulty in disposing of the mat
ter so far as he was concerned. The pri-
soner has already spent some time in the
penitentiary, having been sent there by
Judge McEntee during the days of the
Provost Court. He says he learned the
trade of an axe-grinder there and as he
now stands chance q serving the State
for good many years, he will get plenty
of axes to grind.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.-The fol-
lowing is the report Of the Board of Health
for the twenty y-four hours ending last eve
ming at o'clock:
OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH,
RICHMOND, September "a, 1866. I
6 o'clock P. NJ.
Sir,-We submit the following as the
cholera report for tho last twenty-four
hours:
One case OIL cornor of Clay and Brook
avenue (colorcd) result doubtful.
One case on corner OF Arch and Ninth
streets lcolored nalel probably fatal.
Ono case OIL Byrd between Ninth and
Tenth streets >wlite tcmalo) probably
fatal.
One case Oh corner Broad and Sixth
streets white !emalc) fatal.
One case On corner Broad ana Sixth
streets (colorcd female) conyalescent.
One case OIL Gary between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth (white tenlalej probably
fatal.
One case on Marshall between Fifth and
Sixth (colorcd temale) result doubtful.
One case on Marshall between Fifth and
Sixth (colorcd child); convalescent.
In closing this report, we respectfully
call your attention to the fact that in cases
of death from chohra the custom is still
observed of conveying the bodies within
the churches, as in times when this disease
did not exist. We cannot too strongly
urge upon the citizens the propriety of
discontinuing this practice as long as an
epidemic exists. There is reason to be-
lieve that this custom is calculated to ex-
tend the disease, and we respectfully ask
the cooperation of the citizens, but cSpe-
cially of the clergy, to aid us by discou-
raging the use of the churches for such
purposes.
In every case of death from cholera we
advise speedy interment, and the avoid
ance of large crowd at the funeral.
This advice is intended as we'll for the
white as the colored population of the
city, and we trust we shall be sustained in
this effort to mitigate the evils likely to
arise should the disease appear in an ag-
gravated form. Respectfully,
J. G. CABELL, M. D.,
w. ii. TAYLOR, NJ. D.,
Members of the Board.
To Judge William ". Crump, Chairman
Committee on Health.

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE RAILROAD
The Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany are about erecting new depot,
which will be the finest in the South. 1t
is to be 342 feet long and 1876 feet wide,
built of red brick, and will run back from
the canal to new street which is to be
opened at the rear of the building. The
canal is now being bridged, and the piers
are ready.
The road is doing fine business. On
Saturday forty-one cars went up the road
heavily laden. New depots are being built
along the route, and at Greensboro, N. C.'
every facility is being created for sure
connection with the southern trains. The
management of the road, under Superin-
tendent Thomas Dodamead, assisted by
Assistant Superintendent James l.. Nor
row, is excellent, and does credit to those
gentlemen.

RELIGIOUS MATTERs.-Rev. DR.. Moore,
Of the First Presbyterian Church in this
city, who Is now in Europe, engaged pas
sage on the Bremen steamer OF the 10Th
September, and will return to his charge
here about the 18th of October.
On Thursday last, Rev. Father Bixio, of
the Catholic Church at Staunton, Va, pass
ed through here on his way to California. AT
the depot in Staunton, on the morning OF
his departure, the scene was very affect
ing. Nearly one thousand persons, COM
posed Of his own congregation and the
members Of Protestant churches, were
gathered there to say farewell. Some two
hundred children belonging to the Sunday
schools went down in body to bid adiell
to their beloved pastor, and the heartfelt
adieus and tears from both the old and
young testified to the strength of the esteem
in which all the citizens of the town held
the Reverend Father. Father Bixio is a
priest Of the order of Jesuits, and has been
sent to California as missionary.
Last night a series of revival meetings
were commenced at the Second Baptist
Church (Rev. DR.. Shaver's), and will be
continued this and the ensuing week.
At the Second Presbyterian Church, on
Fifth street, DR.. Hoge, the pastor, otticiated
for the first time in several weeks, during
which time the church has been painted
and otherwise renovated.
The meetings at the Broad-street Me-
thodist Church will be continued every
night this week. A powerful sermon was
preached on Sunday night by the pastor,
Rev. DIR, Duncan, to O crowded audience.
The revival at Trinity Methodist Church
still continues, with an unabated interest
in the subject Of religion.

TIE FIRE on SUNDAY NIGHT.-Wc gave
yesterday the particulars of the fire at the
house occupied by o. Neuman, on Frank
lin street, on Sunday night. The building
is the property of Vincent Lucas, and is
insured in the Virginia Fire and Marine
Company's Office for 5000. The stock and
furniture is insured for $4,000 in the JEFF.
ferson Company's Office Of Albemarle, and
$4,000 in the Associated Firemen's OF
Baltimore, of which Thomas M. Altriend
s. Son are agents. Neither the building
nor the stock are very much damaged.
The fact that candles were found burning
in the house and all the occupants gone Is
pretty good proof that the fire was the
work of design, and the matter will doubt
less be thoroughly investigated by the in
surance officers.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-On Saturday
night about IL o'clock, Mr.. Whiting. who
lives at the corner of Second and Canal
streets, was awakened by noise on his
premises, and on looking out saw a negro
man attempting to break into his house.
He attempted to fire at the intruder with
his revolver, but the cap only exploded.
The negro then ran into an alley in rear OF
the house; and as he was in the act of
scaling a ten-foot wall, Mr.. Whiting fired,
but without effect, and the would-be
burglar made his escape. Captain Epps
and Sergeant Gilman, of the police, who
happened to he in the neighborhood, re-
paired to the spot, but the game had fled.

THE CRY RAILwAY.-Work was COM
menced on this improvement yesterday
near the intersection of Twenty eighth and
Main streets. Only small force was en-
ployed, but during the day the paving.
stones were removed on q space about
thirty feet in length and nine feet wide. 1t
is proposed, we understand, to lay double
track on the entire length Of the railway,
which will greatly facilitate the business OF
the company. 1t is hoped that force will
be employed sufficiently large to put the
work through at once. Timbers have been
laid on each side of the street, in readiness
for use, and there can be no excuse for
delay.

SUPPOSED CASE OF POIsoNING.-A ne
gro man named Samuel r. Cole, commonly
called Bob Cole, died very suddenly few
days ago in the upper part of the city, and
circumstances have since transpired which
give rise to strong suspicious that he was
poisoned, though it may be well to say that
no white person is suspected of the crime.
The body will be disinterred to-day, and a
post nortem examination made by the coro-
ner, DR.. Little. Cole left considerable pro-
perty, and his wife was presented yester-
day by the Grand Jury for forging will
to enable her to get possession Of it.

THE FIRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH.-Wel learn
that the insurance companies of Richmond
have for some time had under considera-
ton project to establish a fire alarm tele-
graph in Richmond, but there is little pro-
Spect of it's speedy consummation. Fires
have of late been of rare occurrence IN
Richmond, and when an alarm is given by
the bells, the firemen are promptly at their
posts. The telegraph, which has been
found very useful in the northern cities,
may eventually be established here; that is,
after Richmond has been completely re-
built and money becomes plentiful. When
that period arrives it will be time enough
to agitate the question.

THE HARVEST MoON.-We suppose it is
hardly necessary to remind our readers,
especially those who have studied astrono-
my, that this is the season Of the harvest
moon, $50 called" according to Watts,
because it is "the lunation in the season
of harvest, or about the time of the au-
tumnal equinox, when the moon is full, or
rises Immediately after sunset for several
consecutive days-a phenomenon owing to
the small angle made by the ccliptic and
the moons orbit with the horizon at this
season of the year." We give this detini-
ton for the benefit of those who can un-
dcrstand it. Bombastes Furioso, or some
body else, said, under the inspiring indu-
encc Of the harvest moon,-
" Now shall the farmers gather In their crops, .
And busy tradesmon mind their crowded shops.
But the case was somewhat different in
those days. Then the farmers had crops
which delighted their hearts and filled
their purses, and the "shops" were crowd
ed from early morn to dcwy eve with good
cash customers. Now money is scarce
and trade dull and as We look upon the
harvest moon, the harbinger formerly of a
season of prosperity, We sigh for the good
old days that "used to was" but now
alas are not.
