On the contrary, 1t is a cOmbin alton OF

GENERAL HURLBUT AT Mt. YER
NoN.-On Tuesday General Hurlbut
spoke at Mt. Vernon to a large and
enthusiastic audience of people. He
made two speeches in that place. one
in the daytime aud one at night. His
scathing and searching review of the
Democratic party, before, during, and
since the war, was we'll received and
enthusiastically applauded by his
hearers. The people were delighted
with his remarks. Every day, al
most, the most cheering news reaches
us from Old Posey County. 1t is but
for the Republicans to work few
days longer with that earnestness and
zeal which has of late characterized
their efforts, and a glorious victory
over the Copperhead Democracy will
be the result. Keep the bail in mo-
ton!

OPERA HoUsE-There was some
improvement in the attendance at the
Opera House last night, though the
audience was by no means large.
" Ruy Bias - was very creditably pre-
sented. Mr. Gotthold, in the leading
role, gave perhaps a little too much
force to the character. Don Caesar, "
by Mr.. Barr, was played exceedingly
we'll. : Marianne" by Miss Rick
cords, was superb. She looked and
acted the very queen. The minor parts
were we'll sustained, and the play
highly acceptable to a discriminating
audience.
8 The Two Puddifoots" was repro
duced in a style highly superior to its
former representation. Buffles did
himself real credit. and the other
parts were quite faithfully repre-
scented. Puddiloot, Jr., however, was
still iudistinct. The character was
well played, but badly spoken. Mr..
Cooper has many elements of good
actor, but should improve his oratory.
To- night will be produced the ex-
cellent and much admired drama en-
titled the Gunmaker of Moscow, "
to close with 1.-The Morning Call, "
which was produced during the in
auguration week with such unbound
ed applause. This bill should attract
full house, as it will present the
very highest order of comedian tai
ent in the afterpiece.

REDUCTIoN.-The Copperherd De-
mocracy in this city started out with
propositions to bet on carrying the
county by at least 400 majority. A
few weeks ago they came down to 300,
later to 200, and yesterday they were
eoeak on bet of 100 majority. What
another day will disclose, we are una
BILE to say. The main topic of con-
versation yesterday in Democratic
circles, was the money they had lost
in betting on the Maine elections. 1t
is now well understood that all was
but a game of brag, very unsuccess-
fully played.

average Of two miles a day, taking
