New MEMPHIS THEATRE.-The Ghioni
and Susini Opera Troupe concluded their
engagement on Saturday evening by the
production of Rossini's comic opera, The
Barber of Seville. The manner in
which this troupe produced the various
operas in their repertoire has added con-
siderable to their reputation, and Mana
ger Thompson deserves the thanks Of
our music-loving citizens for bringing
this frst-class troupe to our city
Although the audiences were very fash
ionable and select, and the performances
highly satisfactory to those present, the
engagement of the troupe was not sue
cess to Manager Thompson in pecuni-
airy point of view. However, the Italian
Opera is over for the present season, and
those who delight in the creations OF
Shakespeare, fine old English comedies,
and roaring farces will now have an OPP
portunity of enjoying themselves. To
night the famous com edy entitled Masks
and Faces will be produced, the immor-
tai Peg" being represented by Laura
Keene, who commences an engagement
this evening. Mr.. S. Drake has been en-
gagged, and is in the cast, together with
Mrs. flanagan, Messrs. Wheelock, Lana
gan, Hubbard and the other members Of
the company. The amusing farce Of
Pleasant Neigh6ors will conclude the
eveninp's performance.

DRUNKEN MAN ALMOST DROWNED.
About two o'clock on Sunday morning,
as policeman c. H. Dow was making
his rounds in the Northern part of the
city, his attention was attracted by cries
which seemed to issue from the bayou
near where the Second street bridge is
located. On reaching the bank, which
is very steep, man shouted to him to
help him out or he would be drowned.
A rope was procured, and aided by some
passers.by, the unfortunate man was
soon hauled out of his uncomfortable
position. He appeared to be consider
ably under the influence of liquor, and
stated that he fell into the bayou on his
way home. The water at that point is
almost eight feet deep, and it is won
der that Michael was not drowned. He
was very profuse in his thanks to officer
Dow for helping him out, who thinks he
did his whole duty by saving the life of
one of the best Irishmen in the city.
When Michael joins a temperance So
ciety we may give our readers the last
part of his name.
