decorated with rare paintings, the coat Of

tractive and imposing.
The grandeur Of the harmony rising
from the vast organ, the mammoth drum,
the orchestra with its various bands, the
10000 voices, the firing OF artillery out

MUsICAL-Mr. Carl Mietzki, the emf
nent violinist, gives grand concert on
Wednesday evening, June Both, 1869, at
the Rutland Opera House. We have had
the pleasure of listening to his perform
ance, and do not hesitate to pronounce it
simply wonderful. Such delicacy, purity,
and power of tone combined, we never
heard before. His violin is a splendid in
strumest, being one of the old masters,
built in 1900 by Joseph Guanevi, in Gre
mons. There are but few of this cele-
brated make and we are informed by him
that he has been offered 81 500 for it and
refused the same. Mrs. Mietzke, Misses
Huntoon, Brown, Foster, Joyce, and Ohm
stead have kindly offered their services,
and we can assure the public, as the pro-
gramHe consists only of gems, that it will
be one of the best entertainments given
at the Opera House. Mr.. Geo. A. Mietzke
is conductor, whose name guarantees sue
cess. Give Mr.. Mietzke an enthusiastic
reception and an oyerfowing house.

CAvENDIsH.-In order that the truth
may be better understood, relative to the
recent Bent affair."" allow me to commu-
nicate an additional fact which may afford
you more light on the subject. There is
bill in Chancery, regarding the owner
ship of the stone store estate, now pend
ing between s. w. Bent and his former
wife, Minerva A. Bent. But the Judge
Barrett I believe) decreed the occupancy
and use of the store and counting rooms
to S. w. Bent, until the decision of the
Bill tn Chancery.
Therefore, he had perfect right there,
and in entering the store was only enter
ing his own dwelling, which every one is
supposed to have right to do. But the
mother and children, judging from the
testimony taken at the examination, ap-
pear to have been actuated by malicious
feelings, and also by advice Of their coun-
sci in the Bill case. But the result shows
rather disparagingly for both counsel and
clients.
Yours for the truth,
OUTSIDER.

SAD CAsE-Within few days the
funeral of Il cnce noted fnancier has
taken place in New York. He had risen
to the office of bank president his life had
been one of great prosperity and five
years age. at the age of so, he had accu-
mulated S250,00O. With a view of max
ing a still greater fortune he embarked in
heavy speculations, which turned against
him until he sunk everything he had.
The matter could not rest here Driven
by the excitement of an almost frenzied
brain, he renewed his speculations, using
the capital of the bank with similar i'll
success. and this, too, was soon sunk.
The bank failed, the President became
insane, and was sent to "A mad-house. At
ter years detention he died, and his
body was brought to his former home
His funeral closed that home forever
The house will be sold, and the widow
and daughter will struggle on as best
they can. The latter, fortunately, has
acquired good musical education, and
is now giving lessons on the piano.
