ALT. BURNETT Opera House
was crowded last night to greet ALI.
Burnett and his talented and accom-
plished niece, Miss Helen Nash.
Every seat in the parquette and dress
circle was occupied, and a number of
new seats in the latter were impro-
vised for the occasion. The family
circle was well filed, and a goodly
number occupied the gallery.
Mr.. Burnett never appeared to so
good advantage before an Evansville
audience. The house was kept in a
constant roar. The representation of
the CaHdles was mastery
performance, and gave evidence
of great histronic ability on the
part of Miss Nash. Aft Burnett
was, of course, inimitable His Wo-
mans Rights Grafton was received
with continuous bursts of applause.
His representation of seven different
characters was truly wonderful, the
celebrity of his transitions being
astounding. We have never seen an
audience better entertained.
between toe performances the audi
enee was entertained by Mr.. J. w.
oharpiey, on the concertina, produc-
ing magnlhcent music. Miss Nash's
recitation of I've Meet upon the
Level and Part Upon the squars, .
was admirable, and elected warm an
plause.
Mr.. Burnett and Miss Nash mill
appear again tonight in entirely nan
performances, and those who ahsan+
themselves will, for a life time bavo
cause to regret losing this golden on
portunity to witness the most unique
and pleasing entertainment ever given
in this city.
MIR. Burnett and troupe are stop
ping at the Sherwood House. He
! leaves in few days for California.

Court OF COMMON PLEAs.-In the
forenoon of yesterday, in the Court
of Common Pleas, quite number of
defaults were taken and demurrers
argued.
The case of E. Wheeler VS.. James
Neal was then taken mp, which occu-
pied the greater part of the day.
This is case in which it was claimed
on the part of the plaintiff that GER
tain sum of money due was not paid.
The case was heard by jury, but we
could not learn the verdict.
Late in the evening the case of the
State vs.. George Maidlow - charge,

WRESTLING TO KEEP THEIR CoUR-
AGE UP.-The Democrats in the
city yesterday were whistling to keep
their courage up. They could not
see anything significant in the fact
that the Republicans had made a
gain in Maine of over FIVE thousand
votes. The fact that the New York
World had predicted large gain
for the Democracy, and boosted of
many changes in favor of that party,
was forgotten. The New York
World was right in saying that many
changes had taken place, but made
the small mistake of setting down the
changes on the wrong side. The
eternal Yankee came in for his share
of round abuse yesterday, just as he
did during the war.

Some actife burglar visited The real.
denee of Mr.. James Scdntliu, ON
Water Street, yesterday morning be-
tween the hours of four and FIVE
O'Clock, and sought admission by
quietly cutting out light of glass in
the dining-room window; but in pick
ing out the pieces of broken glass, he
aroused Henry Stevens, who was
sleeping in the room. He gave the
alarm and the burglar fed. Scantlin
says the fellow was as big fool as
Thompson's colt" as there was
light of glass already broken out of
the next window. The burglars OPP
portunity is gone now, as the fortress
has been STRENGTHENED

ANOTHER GRANT PoLE.-A hand
some little Grant and Coifax pole, 50
feet long, was raised by lad of ff-
teen years, on Second Street, between
Locust and Walnut. The young pat
riot heartily thanks those young gen
tlemen who so kindly assisted him. A
number of beautiful ladies honored
the occasion with some charming
music. Three recent converts to De-
mocracy were lookers-on, and mani
tested, on their countenances, their
regret that they were not yet identi-
fed with the winning side. We re-
greet it, too.

THE EFFECT.-A Democrat de-
clared yesterday that if Pendleton's
speeches in Maine had the effect to in
crease largely the Republican ma
jority, as evidently it had, he did not
want him to visit this part of Indiana.
Another one of the faithful expressed
the opinion that young Green
backs had worked against the party
in Maine, in the hope of taking sweet
revenge out of Seymour for defeating
him in the New York Convention. If
that is so, then Pendleton has had his
revenge. We say, Lay on Macduff."

The river continued to rise with

risen nearly z feet.........The addi-

Burnett, Miss Nash and Mr..

condition. ALT. is looking exceedingly
well.........We caught sight of Capt.
Jim Lusk as he was leaving. He
looked proudly erect.........The Belle
Vernon had moderate trip. Jim
Montague and Billy Burt are her
pilots. Montague has left his farm in
Missouri teaming with Spring chick
ems, fresh laid eggs. sweet butter, and
rich milk, merely to accommodate
the public and the Captain of the
Belle Vernon. Seeing him reminds
us of an act of justice just done by
the Legislature of Louisiana, in
awarding to the widow of a brother of
Montague's $500 year during life, as
an appreciation of his gallant conduct
when the Fashion burned, when he
uttered the noblest sentence that ever
fell from the lips of man. When urged
to leave the wheel and save his life he
nobly exclaimed-"I'll hold her till
she strikes the shoreI" He did hold
her till she struck, but he persisted in
the flames. No conqueror of realms
ever won such an immortaIity.........
The river was extensively full of drift
last evening.

TERRIBLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
afternoon as two ladies, Mrs. Ann
HarDestraw and her daughter, Mari
cite Ruler, were driving a span Of
horses attached to a common farm
wagon from Yankeetown to Newburg,
the horses took fright and dashed off
at fearful rate. In the attempt of
the old lady to stop the horses, the
lines broke, and the horses ran un-
restrained. The old lady was thrown
from the wagon, ana was found some
two hundred yards from where the
team started, IN an insensible condi-
ton, with her cheek bone crushed in.
The daughter escaped without injury,
but was so badly frightened that
she was unable to give any informa-
ton on the subject. DIR. Slaughter, of
Newburg, was called to the assistance
of the old lady, and messenger ar
rived here at midnight, who took DIR.
Day out to render additional aid.

any sceptical persons about Speer's
wine being purely a grape juice wine:

This is to certify that 1 have been
resident of Passaic for the past
twelve years, during which time [
have known Mr.. Alfred Speer, and
been thoroughly posted in the manu-
facture by him of his celebrated wines,
aud can testify 10 the fact derived
from a personal knowledge that his
excellent Port Grape Wipe is made
entirely from the Oporto Grape,
which he extensively cultivates in
vineyards in sight of my residence
The Port Grape vine is variety of
