pleasant feelings that may have thus been createu'
-
tB- In speaking of the stature of Gen.
John Morgan, in notice of his history by
Basil w. Duke, the types made us say that
he was exactly i've feet.N II should nave

tB-we are requested to announce that
there will be a meeting of those favorable
to the gymnasium project at the Court
House tomorrow evening at half-past
seven o'clock.
tB- The gentleman who walked into the
canal last night, when perambulating kihu
o. miscellaneous, must have had rather u
cool bath. and will hardly attempt going
home by tho way of Nenia, next time.
STATE DEMoORATIC PLArFoRM.-N re-
publish to-day, and will keep as standing
matter in our columns, the Democratic
platform, adopted by the Convention held
Mt Columbus, on the Sth OF January last
IL will prove of service for speedy refer
euce when occasion requires; and tre-
quent recurrence to ituay do much good
OPERA HoUsE-By an unfortunate cir
cumstance to Mr.. Buchanan, the pro-
gramme at the Opera House last evening
had to be changed, and Ten Nights in a
Bar-room" was played instead of king
Lear" For tonight "Uncle Tom is an
nounced, Mr.. Buchanan as Simon Legree'
and Miss Virginia as Eliza. The 'cast' for
the company is such rs to render the play
attractive, and we expect to see large
and appreciative audience.
ONO insurance CoMPANY.-At the
election for officers for this company, held
to-day, the following gentlemen were
elected:
For President-Wm. Dickey.
For Vice President-Jonathan kenncy.
For Secrotary-W. II. Gillespie.
For reasurcr--Jonathan HarShman.
The names of the parties as officers and
the active and energetic character of the
members of the Company is sufficient
guarantee of its reliability, without refer
ring to the capital stock invested.
GYMNAsIuM.-We were much pleased yes
terday with n call from one of the young
men of Dayton, and the assurance which
he gave to us of the successful establish
ment of gymnasium in our city. This is
3eertainly a move in the right direction,
Ytnrticulary for those parties whose em-
1loyment is of a sedentary character Ac-
tive physical exercise, and development of
muscle, are AS essential to true manhood.
and to vigorous thought, too, as that which
is termed in Western parlance, "bOok lar
MIN"
The young gentleman informed us that
already one hundred persons had given
their signatures as members. We wish the
parties success in their terprise-hoping
that at all their meetings they will also
seek to cultivate that code of politeness to-
ward each other, so essential to the preser-
vation of their organization, aud whicl
always marks the true man.
DEATH OF SOLDIER OF WATERLoO.-Ar
old French soldier who served under Ma
poleon in Russia and at Waterloo, and who
came to this country in the employ ol
Joseph, has just died at Bordentown, leav-
ing quite a large fortune to his children
He served Joseph in this country us gar
dener, and continued the service on his
own account after the departure of the
Court.
SNAPPIsH.-The Hartford Times, after
copying the Lee-Crosby Opera House let
ter, says, in kind of snappish way;
1T is revealed that Crosby has cleared
over half million out of this lottery. AnC
sundry hints about the matter long since
led us to believe it was ahumbug-an oph
ion that is now confirmed by the report
now received, that ''Mr. Lee has sold thu
Opera House to Mr. Crosby for $2O0Q00.'
This all looks like ',piped" arrangement
as the thieving fraternity say; and tn,
above letter is enough to confirm that view
if anything more were wanting. Peopl'
do like to put their money into the hazard
of some game Of chance. However, in' thi
case we guess they didn't!'
THE ATLANTIC & GREAT WEsTERN.-Mr
James McHenry has issued n circular re
viewing the history OF this enterprise AM
giving brief statement of its present bus
iness and its prospects in the future. W
