PARErA-RosA's BESEFIr.-The grand
complimentary benefit to Madame Pa
repa-Rosa last evening at Piper's Opera
House, was not so well attended as it
would have been were it not for the po-
litical excitement consequent upon the
eve Of election. The dress circle, how
ever, was very well fllod with a fash
ionable and appreciatiye audience. The
entertainment given was far better and
more satisfactory than any before given
By that talented troupe in Virginia.
Madame Parepa gave, for the first time,
some of her best operate touches in
character; the "Msd Scene" from
"Lucia," was particularly fine and
rapturously a~pplauded. Ferranti in
creased his popularity in every one Of
the queer songs he sang, and as for
Bowler he came out several points ahead
of any Of his previous efforts. He sang
in conclusion the Star SPangled Ban
ner," with q grand artistic force, melo-
dious volume, and thorough patriotic
effect that we have never before seen
equaled by any single artistic on that
stage. The Glee Club who had yolun-
teered to assist in the chorus, for some
reason failed to appear, but he did not
need them. Rosa's violin playing also
was far better and more appreciated
than before, aud the only wonder with
the we'll pleased audience, on leaving
the theater, was that this entertainment
had not been given the very first night
instead Of the last. The troupe starts
Overland tomorrow.
DEATH OF DR.. AzARIAH BLANCHARD.
DR.. Azariah Blanchard, father Of our
well-known fellow townsman, II. G.
Blanchard, Esq, died at his residence
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 10th
of last month, aged 10 years. Mr..
Blanchard has our sincere ~sympathies
in his sad bereavement, yet it cannot
but be consoling to him as well as his
relatives and friends to read the follow
ing extract regarding his venerable
fathers decease, taken from the Erening
Wiseonsin Of October IL: "Mr. Blan-
chard has been o resident Of Milwaukee
for 90 years, and we can say without
exaggeration that no man ever lived in
this community who had fewer enemies
we might say he had none, for his
daily life was marked by such a guile
less simplicity and christian conduct in
all his relations, which justly rendered
him a most estimable aud beloved citi-
zen. He was free from all ~jealousies,
and therefore generously gave a helping
hand to the young men in his profess
sion. His heart was was warm, not
merely toward his fellow men, but to-
ward his country. During the great
civil wal his patriotic sympathies were
always alive, aud like q good man, he
prayed to live to witness the browning
triumph of the nation, and when we
met him last, one Of the most fervent
wishes he expressed was that he might
live to vote for Grant and Colfax, but
the good man is gone to his long rest
before this patriotic wish was gratifed."
SrREEr FIGHr.-There was q lively
fight at l O'Clock last night On South G
street, Virginia, in the Bloody Third
Ward, between one man and six others.
He stood them N pretty good fight and
hurt them more than they did him, but
they would doubtless have overpowered
and perhaps killed him had it not been
for a fearless Chilean woman who slept
near by, and being awakened by the
row, ran out to the rescue in her night
clothes. She blew a policeman's whis-
tie most Justify, and then pitched into
the fight. She pulled of one after the
other Of the dominant party by the hair
of their heads and managed to
let up the chap underneath, who was u
Cornishman. Before the battle could
be renewed she contrived to rush this
man of through an alley way up to B
street, and sent him homo after wiping
the blood from his face so that he could
see the way. The fight originated in a
little she-bang near by, and from the
p~rofusion Of blood spattered and daubed
about the sidewalk and awning posts
we should judge it to have been n pretty
desperate and sanguinary one, eonsid-
ering that no more fatal weapons than
fists, teeth and boots were used. 4 po-
licemen is said to have stood IN the OPP
posite side of tho street, coolly watch.
ing tho fight without Offering to inter-
fere. That woman is II trump and
should be appointed on the special po-
lice in that ward.
POLITICAL BUNMEEs.-lt was quite
amusing to notice the crowd of political
bummers electioneering about the polls
in Virginia this morning, especially in
the Third Ward. Those Of whom we
speak were of Democratic proclivities,
and consisted Of nspirants for office, or
those having friends who ars aspirants.
Old Pike was there laying down the
principles Of the Democratic party to
an admiring crowd. He seemed to be
in earnest in what he said, and after all
the old fellow is about as sensible IN ms
ideas as some men we know Of, who,
lacking the requisite brains to beht
them for any sensible position, manage
to wriggle themselves into some petty
swindling business, where their very
subsistence is u perpetual assessment
upon q too confding public. Old Pix
has more sense in his sober moments
than people generally give him credi.
for. He is not enthusiastic to-day at
all over the foreshadowed result OF the
present election. He begins to see thai
the winning chances for the nominees
Of the Democratic ticket, from Presden-
tial Electors, or State Senators down to
Township Constables, are about as slim
as are the prospects Of some old-estab-
lished and nearly played out mines that
we could mention, which will never pay
o dividend, unless there is n change
made in the administration.
