A SCENE NOT ON THE BILLs.-We
are informed that highly amusing,
and somewhat ludicrous and disgust
ing scene, was enacted in the audi
ence at the new Turner's Hall on
Thursday night. Ayoung man who
had escorted his dulciena to the opera,
forgetful of the charming music and
the crowd around him, became par
ticularly attentive to his flame, which
he manifested by toying with her
curls, of which she had a profusion,
entwining his arm around her swan
like neck, and pressing his lips to her
alabaster-like cheek.
He also drew from his pocket a
deadly looking revolver, the various
merits of which he explained to his
fair inamorata to the no small terror
of those sitting in the vicinity. The
parties are supposed to be from the
rural districts of this or a neighbor-
ing State. We regret that we did not
witness that part of the performance.
We always admire such scenes.

" RECORDERS CoURT,-The Recorder
had another fair run of custom yes
terday, and added slightly to the ex-
chequer of the city, and right
smartly to the annual in
come of himself and sattel-
it's. Sylvester Deitz was charged on
the affidavit Of small boy with hav-
ing committed on him an assault and
battery The boy, it appears, had
thrown a snow ball--a naughty prac-
tice-at a, girl, and it accidentally
struck the window of Deitz,
who slapped the boy in the face. This
little indiscretion cost him Sc SO,
John Miller, for acting indecently,
had to plank down S. O5, in the shape
of fine and costs.
An old and highly respectable citi-
zen left his wagon loaded with coal
standing on the street all night of the
18th inst, for which he was brought
to judgment. He pleaded in extenu-
alton that he was very sick, and was
compelled to leave his load before
reaching its destination. In conse-
quence of his venerable age-sixty-
eight years-and his we'll established
probity of character, he was let off
by paying costs.
BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER.-Bobt.
Newbcrger, a lad of II years, and who,
we understand, was sent to this coun-
try, from Germany, because of his bad
conduct there, was arrested yesterday
on a charge Of stealing a goose. It
appears he has been in the habit of
prowling on the commons with sack
on his shoulder, and, when opportu-
nifty offered, picking up a goose. At
length he was caught at his tricks,
and, yesterday, had hearing before

against nice young man, Of the city,

afterwards, induced to give up all the

The LIEDERKRANZ IN CHINA-THE
GRAND OPERA LAST NIGHT.
spite the unpropitious and really in
clement weather last night, there was
another large and most elegant audi
ence to witness the beautiful and
thrilling opera by the Liederkranz
Society at Mozart Hall. The per-
formance was decided Improvement
on that of the night previous, as the
various members of the troupe seemed
more at ease, and entered into the
spirit of the play with more abandon.
1t is matter worthy of self-congratu-
lation to the people of Evansville that
she possesses such an extraordinary
amount of musical and operate talent
as has been developed by the exhibit
ion of the past two nights. Every
body was delighted, nay, really en-
chanted, with the performance, and
admired the exceeding elegance with
which this surprisingly fine burlesque
was gotten up.
The several fine points of the enter
taihp1&ns, oh Thursday night, were
rendered with increased ability. We
inadvertently failed to mention, yes
terday two Of the most pleasing pas
,sages in the opera, and which were,
received with warm applause. oThe
entry of Futseha bearing a white flag,
'antther touching appeal, as represent
ed by Mrs. Mathews; and the duett,
by Mrs. Mathews and Mrs. S6hlesinz
ger, encouraging each other, and ex-
pressing a hope Of bea-
tifc future, and more beau
tiful existence. 1t is suffi-
cient compliment to Mrs. Matthias to
say that she was the only lady in the
city that could be found competent to
the part. The Duet by Mr.. Sch@fer
aud Mrs. Schlesinger was indeed
most delightful and artistic perform
ance, and the final solo by Mr..
Schefer won universal admiration.
The Chinese dance and the exhibit
ton of shanghai ROSTERS were re-
ceived with vociferous applause. We
are gratifed to learn that this SPLEEN
did opera will be repeated shortly for
the pleasure of the general public,
and also for the benefit of the poor
Of the city, Many of the most
prominent citizens were present last
night, and freely expressed their
great qualification with the perform
anee. III lr lrata ,u saFya tasI

AN ORDINANCE NEEDED

AN ORDINANCE NEEDED.-The ex-
perience of the last few days has led
US to the conclusion that an ordinance
should be passed by the City Council
compelling the people to clean the
snow from the sidewalks and cutters
in front of their residences and places
of business, as soon as practicable
after the snow falls. A large proper
ton of the pavements Of the city were
left covered with deep snow, and
when the thaw commenced, the walk
ing was dreadful. and the cutters
being clogged with snow, the water
accumulated on the crossings until
they, in many cases, became impassa-
BILE. The self-interest Of every one
should lead to the cleaning of the
pavements voluntarily, because all are
alike interested in having comfoHta-
bic, pleasant walks; but as all will
not do so voluntarily, the city authori-
ties should compel them to. do so. or
to pay for having it done! JAS an
honorary member of the City Council,
we shall advocate an ordinance Of this
kind for the good of our Constituents.
A Foolish FREAK.-We saw, yes
terday evening, just before,Idark, a
man on the ice pack. now rapidly
forming inlthe harbor. Knowing that
the pack had been formed during the
afternoon, we were fully aware of the
mans danger, and our sympathies
were at once elected in his behalf, as
we supposed he had been caught in
the ice Involuntary. We learn, how
ever, that it was the ferryman, who, to
indulge a foolish freak, had volunta-
rily left the skiff, in which he with
three other men had crossed the
river, in the loosely packed ice
merely to manifest what he probably
supposed was his bravery. When we
heard from others of the bravery and
sagacity manifested by the same man
on Sunday night last, when there was
need of daring and sagacity, we ad-
mired the man, and spoke compliment
tarily of his deeds, but had no desire
to inspire him to acts of recklessness,
such as we are compelled to denomi-
nate that of last night. Before he
got off the pack we think he realized
to some extent the folly of the freak,
as he frequently disappeared amid the
ice, his head only being visible. At
length, men on the Ada Lyon. by
placing planks on the ice, managed to
throw a line to him, which he fastened
around his body, and by which he was
snaked across the loose ice. Men win
noaadmiration by such fats of un-
necessary exposure of their lives.

THE Poor OF THE CITY,-We. no.
tice in the louisville papers state
ment that two deaths had occurred in
the city of New Albany from want
and starvation. Such an occurrence,
if the report is correct, is not credita-
BILE to the thriving and self-compla-
cent city of New Albany. We are
glad to be able to state that by the
generous aetion-of the County Com
missioners, of the City Council, and
the many philanthropic people in
this city, that no such an occurrence
is likely to take place In our midst.
Ample provisions have been made
for all worthy needy people, who shall
apply to the proper authorities. 1t
would not be improper, however, to
have Committees in each ward, whose
duty it would be to look UP any poor
whose false pride may perhaps pre-
vent them from making their wants
known. The most worthy poor, and
often the most needy, are generally
the last to make their applications for
relief. We know that our people are
liberal, humane and benevolent, and
will do whatever is necessary for the
relief of distress or want.

ing to school He is sometimes called

SCHOOL EXAMINATIoN.-The Sc
lect School taught by Miss Hooker
and Miss Hough, in the basement of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
had it's semi-annual examination yes
terday. The school comprises fifty
four scholars of both sexes, and the
studies seem to embrace all the Eng
lish branches, with Latin, Greek and
French, Music and Drawing in addi-
ton.
Fifty pupils were present at the ex-
animation, and the teachers were also
cheered and encouraged by the pres
ence of large number of visitors.
The few moments that we spent in
the school were sufficient to convince
us that it must be a pleasant place
for young people to acquire knowl-
edge. The goddess of smiles-if there
ever was such divinity appeared to
have taken charge of the institution,
and the entire exercises and recita-
tions were characterized by spirit of
sympathy and affection between pu-
pills and teachers that was pleasant to
witness. The young ladies and gen
tlemen acquitted themselves very
creditabiy. in their Rotations, and
convinced their parents and friends
that they were making progress IN ac-
qpiiring an education. The, exercises
were interspersed with Instrumental
music and songs that added much in
terest. b.
The following is the Roll of Honor
for the past session.

Just before the close of the exer-
cises the teachers were surprised by
being presented with some beautiful
presents. Miss Hooker received a
beautiful silver card case and napkin
ring. Miss Hough was honored with
a splendid pair of bracelets and a
heavy silver napkin ring, and fruit
knife. These manifestations of affec-
ton on the part of their pupils could
not but be highly gratifying to the
teachers It certainly afforded athe
visitors pleasure. ra LII o

Too RREGIPITATE.T TIt appears that
it was one of the great Smith family
Of which theregis1supposed to be sew
.eral members inthe United States-at
whose instance several men on the
Cincinnati & Louisville Morning Ex-
press, were subjected to the indignity
and modification of an arrests few
days ago. 1t was not, however, John
Smith-he died in Arkansas a few
weeks ago--but one L. G.. Smith.
Smith, it appears, had come o. gone
over the o. & NJ. Railroad. ard had
occupied a berth in sleeping ear. In
the morning he missed his money, and
straightway jumped at the conclusion
that he had been robbed, anC at the
still further conclusion that the rob-
Der was on board the Bob tail, " on
Thursday morning. And so he tele-
graphed to this city, and The City
Marshal was sent out to meet and ar
rest him. We do not know what
there was in the appearance of the
men arrested, that led Mar;hal Ten
voorde to suspect them, but it seems
he did suspect and arrest three of
them. One was identified by Pro-
fessor Genung, and at once
liberated. The other wo were
taken to Jail, and there subjected to a
rigid search. One of then had some
money, and this strengthened the sus
picion, for, Of course, lonest men
don't ever have any, Bit, after Mr..
Smith had, by telegraph, st the blood
hounds of the law on the track Of the
man that had stolen the money, sim
gularly enough, the idea occurred to
him that he might hive lost the
money, and he Immediately telegraph
ed to the Conductor O. the train, on
the O. & NJ. Railroad and, singularly
enough, the porter hid found the
money in the sleeping car, and, as an
honest man. had reported it to the
Conductor, as was his duty. Smith
was advised Of the feet, and at once
ordered the release of the arrested
man. This is certainly a matter Of
self-congratulation tc the man arrest
ed, but still it does Tot repay him for
the modification an( indignity of his
arrest.
From this little Episode in his his
tory, Mr.. Smith should be right GER
tain he has been ROBBED before he or
ders the arrest Of tie robber.
