gratifying evidence that our people intend
to patronize llberally the grand Italian
Opera, which opens on Monday evening

of the citizens of Dayton, who have always
been proverbial for their generous appre-

TO which they are now invited is of this
class, and will unquestionably excel by far
anything Of the kind hitherto presented

The ticket office of the Opera House will
remain open from nine o'clock A. M. until
four o'clock p. NJ. each day, for the sale of

Parties who arrived from the Fenan
camp late tonight, say that the Fenians.
not having received the expected acces-
sions to their strength, and hearing of the
approach of British troops, have broken np
their camp. burned their muskets and de-
stroyed their ammunition, and left in squads
ostensibly for raids. but it is generally
thought really to endeavor 20 get back TO
the United States In the shortest space OF
time.
Two companies of the Sixty-fifth Ma
tional Guard are guarding our arsenal. but
there Is no danger of the Fenians troubling
American property. They seized num-
ber of horses belonging TO the Niagara
Street Railroad that were pastured on the
Canada side; but, when informed that they
were the property of Americans, the horses
were returned.

At four o'clock the Fenians were within

pects battle tonight. The uprising here
resembles that of the Americans when

EzJ" a Western correspondent says; In
a district in the far West We had a gen
teman teacher who thought it advisable
to give some lessons in politcuess. Among
other things he told the boys in address
ing a gentleman they should always say
"Sir," and gave them examples, and
made quite lesson of it, One boy was
particularly delighted, and took occasion
speak to his teacher often, to show be
profted by his teachings. When he went
home to dine, his father said "Tom
have some meat ?" ayes, sir, I thanl
you" The next thing the child knew
his fathers hand came whack on his ear
and his fathers voice thundcred forth

him by.
The citizens Of Piacervile prepared to

An Outcast Received The End
ofa Guilty Love.


ofa Guilty Love.
Some months ago n train on the Michi-
gan Central brought to this city from De-
troit, among its swarm Of passengers,
very beautiful girl of some seventeen sum.
mcrs and an invalid ex.oficer Of high rank
who, after dining at one Of our hotels,
sought quiet residence, and found it be-
fore night, in retired litelo cottage in the
southern part of this city. They lived to.
gether as man and wife for seTen weeks,
in perfect harmony and quiet, but about
the first Of November the gentleman left
for the Fast aud died there, the lady re-
naming at her former boatding-place
This ex.Oficer was married man high
~ connected in IA Eastern city, not very
far from New York, and the lady was tho
daughter Of wealthy merchant iu the
Getty Of Brotherly Love-" The ex.mili.
tary gentleman had been separated from
bis wife these FIVE years. He had been
very wealthy, and it is said that the lpdy's
extravaganza, as we'll as o large loan to a
prominent banking house in New York,
whose frauds recently startled the business
community when the facts in their failure
came to light, had also crippled him.
Both were people Of force Of character,
and together thcy fed here as above rela-
ted. Badness required the ex.major's 5
presence east for few days, and 4 fort
night after be lolt died at his own resi-
dcnce.
Left alone, without means, and igro-
rant Of her lovers death until tho begin
ming Of this month, The forlorn girl sought
work. She could not write 10 her father
who engros5ed in business had yet always
had Kind word for her. Sho could nc
gst,tilings of one who, though weak, ha(
ncye, been mean enough to deceive her al
to Lis being already bound.
The news of his death came as last. Hei
money was gouo, The world was a blank
She could never love again. December
seemed November, and rainy day or sun
shine was as one to her. She was dunnej
for board money, She WAS beautiful
proud, passionate and heart-brokcn, anC
entered one of those gilded den Of splendit
sin that open their yaaing doors to girl
like her.
Meanwhile her hesrt-broLen father onl.
learned the truth from letter written t
him by the Major the day before he died
