AnluSeToents.

OPERA HoUsE.-The first appear
anee of the Louisville Opera House
Company at the Opera House last
night was greeted By a very fair and
highly refined and intelligent au-
dience. The Parquette and Dress
Circle was just comfortably full, with
a goodly number in the Family Circle
and Gallery. The play selected was
Bulwer's beautiful drama Of the Lady
of Lyons, a play that never wears out,
and Of which, if well produced, as it
certainly wac last night, an audience
never grows weary.
The play was we'll produced, and
all the characters were we'll up in
their parts. Mr.. Stetson, as Claude
Melnotte, and Miss Minnie Monk, as
Pauline, seemed to have a very just
appreciation Of the characters they
represented, aud were received with
the most marked appreciation. Mich
OILS as Beauseant, and Pierce as Col.
Dumas, were surperb, Miss Lew
ellyn, as the fdgety aud ambitious
Madame DesohappelIes, and Mrs. T.
r. Pierce as the Widow Melnotte,
won hearty applause: The perform
ance was placed too far back on the
stage, and the words were at times
inaudable, bat upon the whole we
have seldom seen an audience better
pleased. The after piece, the
Quiet Family was a decided hit.
Frank Pierce, always a favorite with
our people, was in his clement, and
kept the house in fne humor. Miss
Amy Llewellen and Miss Stanfield
appeared to excellent advantage, while
Master Harry Dufield and Miss Sum-
mers filed no inconsiderable space in
the play. The company made very
decidedly good impression last night,
and really inertia liberal support. So
well pleased was the audience last
night that Mr.. Stetson and Miss Monk
were twice called before the curtain.
To night will be presented the
great operatie drama of Rob Roy.
with Stetson as Rob Roy, Miss Min
ME Monk as Helen McGregor, Mrs.
Frank Pierce as Die Vernon, Frank
Pierce as Bailie Nicol Jarvis, S. B.
Duffeld as Major Galbraith. with
songs, in which he excels. Louisa
Lecompte appears as Ramish, with
the Highland Fling, and a powerful
cast throughout. Too Much for
Good Nature, closes the evenings
performance.
THE LECTURE AT MASONIC HALL.
There was quite a large crowd at Ma
sonic Hall last night, to hear the col
ored lecturer, Mrs. Harper, and the
general verdict was that the lecture
was of a highly superior character,
manifesting much talent, pleasing elo-
quence and unexceptionable rhetoric.

musical prodigy will exhibit at Ma.

A SUDDEN DEATH.-Our citizens
were shocked yesterday afternoon by
the announcement that D. @. Robin
son, Superintendent Of the Evansville
and Wabash Telegraph Company, was
dead. Few who frequent the vicinity
of the telegraph Office could realize
the fact, as they had hardly missed
him from the street until the melan-
choly intelligence was heralded
through the streets Mr.. Robinson
was on the street Sunday evening
walking with his wife and child in ap-
parent good health In the evening
he had a chill, and yesterday morning
he visited the telegraph Office and re
turned to it after dinner, and was en-
gagged in posting his books. At 2 P.
NJ. he left the Office and returned to
his residence. In an hour he was
dead Of disease Of the heart.
A large circle of friends will drop a
tear in memory of De Witt Clinton
Robinson, and let their warmest sym
pathies 60 out towards his berea7ed
wife and children, thus suddenly and
so cruelty robbed of husband and
father. The deceased was a man of
many excellent qualities OF both head
and heart, and with but few faults.
A gentleman of strict integrity, good
business qualifications, he had for
more than twelve years managed the
affairs of the E. & w. Telegraph Com
pany with eonsummate ability and
success, surrounding himself with a
host of friends and with but few enc
mics. He leaves a wife, a son and a
daughter to mourn his untimely
death.
A singular coincidence attending
his death was the fact that the last
official act of his life was to write the
figures 49," which in telegraphic
parlance means the end" Truly
may it be said Of him, :" He died at
his post" It is a melancholy conso-
lation to know that his life was in
sured for $4,000. He died in the
prime of life, at the early age of n
years, z months and 1 day.

CAPTURE OF A FoRAGER.-Sheriff
Miller and Capt. Cochran, after
getting the triggers all set" yester-
day, arrested man named 10. Par
ker on the charge Of stealing. Parker
it seems, has been doing quite a
number of little thieving jobs, regu-
lar "forager " In TACT, and carried off
some clothing at one time, carpenters
tools at another, and so on. After
his arrest he agreed to show Sheriff
Miller where some of the stolen goods
were stored, and proceeded to house
on Ingle Street, where he fulfilled his
promise. On leaving the house, and
just as they had got down stairs,
Miller and Chochran being in front,
Parker slammed the door shut and
I" lit out the back way. A lively
little race ensued. II wes nippity-

is surrounded by a heavy Usage orange
fence. Edgar Sharpe happened to be
at home, aud the Sheriff informed
him of the runaway, and asked his
assistance. While the parties were
looking for the culprit Sharpe hap
pened to find him, and captured the
audacious cuss, who was not able to
get through the hedge fence. Parker
was borne off in triumph to the Jail
and will shortly be presented al
court"
