BouoUEr TuRowING.--Several line bon-
ouets of flowers were thrown on the
stage at the Opera House last evening,
to Madame Parepa.Rosa. The Kind and
appreciative lady Of whom we spoke In
our item of yesterday, MS making such
u bad job of it on the previous evening"
swinging her bouquet round the circle in
such n manner in throwing that instead
of going on the stage, it hit u man be-
hind her full in the face, did better last
evening. She had n rich bouquet OF
choice roses, dahlias, sweet peas, honey
suckles and cowslips, sent all the way
from DAYTON for that express purpose.
1t came down fair and square upon the
stage, but she was still in bad luck, Tor
all the pretty roses and dahlins broke
loose from their stems and rolled IN MI
directions. She certainly hit her marx
this time, if her shot did scatter.
Madame Parepa has got flowers enough
to.last her a month.
