taiumeut ut tho Opera House last even
ing was one Of the best of the season,
and gave general satisfaction. The

tains many stirring rs well rs l~aughable
scenes and incidents, and cannot fail to
plaase all who attend tonight.
PSsr House. PArrENTs.-Dr. Downer,
Of the County Hospital, informed US
this morning that he has six patients
now in the pest house, three of whom
will be discharged, cured, in a few
days. He has constantly had from
three to twelve patients on the average
there ever since the 9th Of last October,
when the first case Of the disease was
taken there from Virginia. One Of the
patients now nearly recovered was so
sick IL few days ago that his coffin was
ordered. The order was filled, but the
coffin wasn't. This patient took half u
dozen eggs, some ham, u steak, a few
hot rolls, and two or three cups OF
coffee for breakfast this morning, so the
Doctor thinks he will manage to rub
through all right yet.

day afternoon the steam has been shut
OF from the Yellow Jacket, Kentuek

disappeared from the hills about Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill, but the mountains
Of the Palmyra, Humboldt, and other

green flush as of rich yerduro. The
wild flowers win soon be blooming.
