his house and announced themselves to
DO rebel soldiers. Booth was intro
duced rs Mr.. Boyd Of A. P. Hills corps,

should not have been surprised if q re-
ward of $4,000 had been offered, but
that he had heard q day or 80 before
that the murderer had been arrested be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia. |

the rcputed murderer, aud if no was an
elderly man? He said no had seen him
once in Richmond, about the time of the
John Brown raid, and hat he thought
no was rather u young man. thought
at the time the murderer was Edwin
Booth, never having heard of any other
Booth rs an actor. l was not much
with the man during tho day, as I was
attending to my laborers ; he seemed
to DO restless, and my family informed
me that he spent the greater part Of
the day reclining on tho grass in the
front yard" After dinner q horseman
(Harrold) arrived and had q long talk
with Booth. Subsequently two others
came up in hot haste to report tho mp
proach of Yankee cavalry. The three
made arrangements to leave next day
but Mr.. CARROTS family had, by this
time, become vaguely alarmed for their
own safety, and insisted that Boyd
should slocp in the tobacco house. At
2 o'clock A. N. the United States caval-
ry arrived and what followed moods no

The GERMAN OPERA.-One of the
largest and most fashionable audi

this city, greeted the German Opera
Troupe at the Evansville Opera
House on Saturday night. The Com

the hearty applause frequently rem
dered.
The Prima Donna, Marie Friederica
was suffering from a severe cold which
somewhat affected her voice, yet her
rendition of Pamina was really beau
tifull and excellent, many of her pas
sages being almost enchanting. Mr..
Franz HImmer as Tamino manifested
great power and ability and is con-
sidered by accomplished critics with
out rival in his role Clara Lang
as Queen of the Night sings sweetly
and most happily, and was ably as
sisted by Mad. Berger-the first lady
Weinlich's Sarostro was a wonder
full performance. He has pure, deer
bass voice which he uses with the
highest artistic skill.
Steinecke's Papegeno, while being
| entirely artistic, was infinitely drol
and amusing, while Mr.. Bach, Ar
mand, and indeed all taking part
ably sustained themselves. The large
and appreciative audience seemed
highly pleased throughout. Last
night Der Freischietz" was given b.
the troupe, and was received will
warmest applause.
At the solicitation of many citizen
