PrpRR's OPERA HoUsE FANNY Nor
GAN PHELPs.-Last evening Fanny Nor
gan Phelps made her first appearance at
the Opera House, supported by the tall
ented dramatic company attached to
that theater. Owing to the Strawberry
Social at Athletic Hall and other uu.
propitious circumstances, the audience
was not so large as it otherwise might
have been yet, although small, it was
appreeiative. Mrs. Phelps has a tall,
commanding figure, agreeable stage
presence, and is not only u talented and
versatile actress but she also possesses
u melodious, flexible and we'll trained
voice as u singer. The plays given
were the Actress by Daylight" and
the "Wild Irish Girl, +" in each Of which
she sustained the leading character, and
acquitted herself very creditably. She
was well seconded in both plays by Miss
Louise Arnot, who never fails to reader
well whatever character she undertakes;
also by George French, especially in the
first piece, where, as Adolphus, he did
better than we ever saw him, although
not cast for the part. Mr.. French is n
young actor, but very studious, hard
working and ambitious. He deserves
success. Some of the other characters
were commercially rendered, while
Others were not. The beautiful domes-
tic drama Of "Womsn's Love will be
givea tonight, concluding with the
"Bonnie Fish Wife," In both pieces
Mrs. Phelps will sing several favori,e
and beautiful songs aud ballads. For
cast of characters see programmes.
ARrAL FoRGER.-Au Euglishmou, n,
present calling himself Charles J.. Wat
son, was tried in Judge Rising's Court
yesterday, on the charge of forgery, IN
forging a check on a bank, and getting
the non ut a faro bank in Virginia.
The Jury yesterday found him guilty.
IL seems the officers found several other
forged checks on him, one OF which he
tried to palm off on u clothing dealer in
Virginia, but he failed to swindle his in-
tended victim. On his trial yesterday
be claimed the right to give his own
testimony-aud in which he asserted
that he was u printer, and that he had
labored in the NEws Office. The only
work he ever did in this office was TO
distribute type for an hour for one oil
the compositorJ, he having given him
the lob on his representing that he was
out of money. The fact is, this man
WATSON" called himself Stevens until
recently-which is perhaps his real
name-and the boldness with which he
perpe,ra,ed these forgerieS shows that
he is no honest printer, II he ever
learned the business at all. The disc'-
pies OF Faust are quite indignant that
such q fellow should presume to call
himself n printer. As Judge Rising IS
10 PASS sentence on him tomorrow, u IS
hoped, for the credit of the craft, that
he will give him the full extent oil the
law.
