RECoRDER' CoURT.-The Record
er had quite a good days business
yesterday, and consequently was in an
excellent humor. First came John
/ Owen, who had imbibed too freely of
the platform, and as a consequence
fell into the hands of the police. He
was fined 81, cost 81 80, which is the
7o1eest price for common drunk.
The drUnks are classed common, or
dinary and extraordinary. The price
of common drunk, as above stated,
in this city Is 81, of an ordinary
drunk, s. and of an extraordinary
drunk, on fighting whisky, s. 90.
Strangers visiting the city, who should
by accident indulge a little too freely,
will find the above scale of prices
valuable.
Charles Henderson, (not the typo,)
for drunkenness and public indecen-
cy, was fined $5-cost s. 20. He
threw himself on the mercy of the
court, said he was guilty and ashamed
that he was guilty, and in considera-
ton of that fact, the fine for his
offense, which was Of twofold nature,
was made thus light. Seeing that his
pleading had softened the heart Of
the court, and resulted in the fixing
of the penalty so low, he grew quite
indignant, and declared that the fine
was not large enough, and that he
would not pay it at ALL Charles was
locked up
Charles Jones, man of color, who
INDUCED in a little mill with Fred
Douglas, (not the original was fined
S1-cost SIS 80. Fred. Douglas, in
turn, for fighting with Charles Jones,
was fined $5-cost So %. These col
ored individuals, it appears, had made
an agreement a Ia modern prize
but were not permitted to
-" fight it out on that line" The
police iDterfered and ended the COM
bat Both were locked up for want
of funds to pay out IF these chaps
were set to work on the streets, and
made to DO some hard digging, it
would learn them how to behave, per-
haps.

REHEARsAL.-The Evansville Lied
erkranz and Orchestra had grand
rehearsal of Lortzing's beauti-
ful opera, Gar and Carpenter" to
be performed on the 28th, 29th and
Both of this month, at Turner Hall,
last night. We had the pleasure of
attending, and have to pay our COM
plimeBts to both Societies. for the
results achieved. The Orchestra, led
by the genial Professor Matthias.
deserves the highest praise for
correct and elaborate execution of
Lortzing's charming, although diff
cult, music. We are sure that the
Evansville Orchestra will, in a short
time, gain renown throughout adjoin-
ing States.
As to the singing, we have never
heard any better amateur performers
than the members of the Liederkranz
and their ladies.
The gems Of the opera are the great
sextett in the the second act, the
Romance of the Marquis, the Bridal
Song. the Cars Grand Air in the
third act, and the splendid choruses,
which we heard rendered really beau
tifully last night. The Liederkranz
will be sure to win new laurels with
their performance.
