SOMETHING To Do."-The Opera House
last evening, contained an audience highly
respectable, in point of numbers and social
position, attracted there by the unounce-
menU that the somewhat celebrated and
slightly peculiar Miss Anna +. Dickinson
would declaim n lecture-the topic, "Some-
thing to Do'-thatis, something for 1r0men
TO do.
The subject matter of the lecturer is a
plea in behalf of women, against the COM
plained-of restraints of society, which are
supposed to prevent the sex from following
the more profitable and intellectual pur-
suits of the other. AS Il specimen of liter
airy composition it is creditable; Astounding
with passages that are beautiful, eloquent
and pathetic. Rendered by an experienced
and tasteful Acknowledgement with
polished style, commanding presence and
cultured voice-it certainly would possess
absorbing interest.
But the fair Anna is poor in clocution /;
her style is not graceful, her presence,
though "gOod looking" is not command
ing; her voice, though amply strong, is
NOT muslChl OF eHCIdlJlhS' VIC sue WIN
the judgment of the critic of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, that "on the whole there was
more food for thought, than matter of en-
tertainment In her lecture, and while there
was little boisterous applause, there was
continued, rapt attention on the part of the
hearers. Her words will have weight more
from themselves than from the way they
were spoken"

PROVE A Meanwhile Journal yester-
day, in its comments on Fred Douglass lee
ture, says:
III he did not develop the true principles
of government, let those who deny his
propositions controvcrt them"
That is Radical argument all the time.
They make an assertion, no matter how
preposterous, and then with the most UNI
Dlushing eflrontery say, if you don't be-
lieve it prove that it Is not true, We are
thus constantly called upon by these foo
zoos to prove a negative. We do not pro-
pose to be guilty of any such nonsense as
that of trying to explain any such Abolition
clap-trap. If Fred Douglass, or his fellow
citizen of the Journal, either, has ''devel-
oped the true principles of government"
let them prore il. Iii is the true principle
of government to degrade superior race to
the condition of an inferior race, or in other
words to bring the white man dozen to a
level with the negro, let Fred Douglass, and
w. ID. b., his worthy colleague, give us the
proof. They have the afiirmative-we take
the Hegdtire.

~ Yesterday afternoon, in one of the

obstrcpcrous, and made use of "cuss-words'
and other improper language to the bar
keeper, which had the tendency to stir up
his lighting propensities to such an extent
rs to land Mr.. Hart out doors. Thereupon
Mr.. Hart betook himself to the Mayors of
flee to have the bar-keepcr arrested for an
assault. The arrest was made, and a trial
had, the result of which was the filming of

Crops. Brought. etc.

The Sandusky Rcgist is informed that
the farmers ia the vicinity OF Tiin are cu.4
ting up their corn, we presume for fodder,
as the grain cannot be matured. Through
ont the entire State the lower leaves Of the
corn are drying up, and it looks as II now
ready to be cut, though many fields must
prove failure on account Of the drought.
After trip through the State, the editor is
Of the opinion that neither the extreme
northern or southern sections are suffering
80 much with the drought as tho central
portions Of the State. What disastrous re.
suits may follow this long absence of rain
can only be conjectured.
In many places farmers are unable TO
make preparations for wheat crop, on &C
count of the dry aud hard condition Of the
soil; and where they are able to cultivate
a cloud of dust follows the plow or harrow
as it does a team on the highway. We
should feel as il our wheat were better of
in the granary than in tho ground, unless
rain can fall upon it very soon. Indeed
many who have their ground prepared are
delaying in sowing until there is some pros
pect of its finding sufficient moisture tc
portpinate
