Opera Troupe opened their brief season Of three
nights at Wallis Opera House last night, with
the performance Of Donixetti's Lucia di Lam
mermoor." The first act was not given in a
very satisfactory manner, but the excellent
singing in the succeeding acts made amends for
it. Brignoli has lost none of his power, and
never sang better here than he did last nizht.
while he threw more spirit into his acting than
usual with him. He is . superb Edgardo,n -
and evidently did his best to please. Miss
McCulloch has improved very much since her
last appearance here, and was very acceptable
as " Lucia" Among the gems OF the per-
formance were the duet between 'Lucia~ Miss
McCulloch) and "Sir Ashton" (Sig. PetrellD in
the second act, and the splendid sextette at the
close Of that act, which has seldom been sung
better here. The chorus and orchestra are
rather light.
Tonight, Verdis grand opera of {" n Troya-

McCulloch, Mile de Gebelle, (her Hrst appear
ance here,) Sig. Petrelli, Sig. Sarti, and Signor

A Dog OF PiOus Parts,

An individual tells the following dog
story. Not having seen the peculiar men,
Der of the canine species referred to, we
won't vouch for the authenticity of the
tale:
gentleman owns dog that has some
remarkable instincts. On week days he
has all the passions and propensities of
other dogs, but on the Sabbath his pecu-
liarities and sectarian sentiments come out.
He knows when this day comes. He is
not the same dog as on other days. He

company, and seems to say, in actions
louder than words, six days LAY we play

Presbyterans; the dog is Methodist On
Sunday he attends the family to Presbyte-
rian church, and then holds on his solitary
and unbroken way until he comes to his
own church, a little further on. He has
particular place up stairs where he sits.
No belle or madam of fashion who sweeps
up the aisle of a popular church, and finds
q plebian in her pew, can give more de-
cided expression Of displeasure than this
dog if he finds anybody in his seat. He
seems to attend to the services and give
dogmatical heed to the words spoken. An
example to may protesting Christians, he
may be seen on his way to church in foul
weather as in fair; not hall day nearer,
either, while his denominational prefer
eriees are as we'll known as are those of any

In THE COAL PIT
SAD Acctdent-Foul AIR Probably the
Cause-Birmtngham the Scene.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Last evening about five O'Clock there oc-
CURED another of those serious accidents
from the inhalation Of foul air which on
several occasions of late have startled our
community. The scene of the disaster
was KILLINGS coal pit, which is located at
the head of Twelfth street in Birmingham
At the hour mentioned we learn that three
men, employees at the pit. started from the
Southern end of the tunnel, which is locat.
&c in Allentown, to walk to the Birming-
nam end. They had nearly reached
the Birmingham opening when. it appears
something startled them, and one of the
men screamed loudly for assistance. Two
men, named respectively, Bulford and
Stewart, who were also EN-.
ployed about the mine, were, at the
time of the alarm standing near
the Birmingham mouth of the pit. No
sooner did they hear the alarm than they
run into the tunnel to the rescue of their
fellow workmen. Several others, who were
standing about the middle of the pit no.
ticing that Butord and Stewart did not re-
hlrn as soon as they should, took torches
in hand and followed their predecessors
into the tunnel. After proceeding about
one hundred and fifty feet, what was their
horror to find the entire five persons pros.
trateu upon the floor OF the pit and breath,
ing heavily. At once the men set to work
to remove their comrades to the open air
When they completed their duties twas
found that Bulford and Stewart were dead
The three men who had first entered the
pit, strange to say. were last night in a fair
way OF recovery Foul air was undoubt-
eddy the cause of this sudden death, and
how the three men who first entered es-
capped is mystery. The deceased were
both single men and had been employed
about Kelling's mines for some time.
During the excitement of the occasion
young man named William Pollit entered
the tunnel his mother happening to be
present at the moment, and comprehend
ing the danger that her son was probably
exposed to, rushed in after him. The
woman had scarcely entered the tunnel
before she too was overcome, and had TO
be conveyed from the mine. She re-
covered in short time and was rejoiced to
hear that her son was unin)ured
There is locomotive employed in draw
ing the coal train through the tunnel, and
it is the opinion of those employed about
the mine, that the smoke from the loco
motive had certain effect upon the air
confined within the tunnel, which was in
strumental in producing the sad results
noted. To-day the coroner will hold in
quests on the bodies of the deceased, VIXEN
it is probable that some light may be
thrown upon the melancholy deaths of the
two young men who SO nobly went to the
rescue of their comrades.

SNATCHED FROM DEATH.
The Man on the steeple-Iiis Wonder
ful ESQ apes from = violent Death.
From the Louisville Commercial,

A number OF people were watching in
tently yesterday the feats of a man upon
the steeple of the Cathedral-the ease and
indifference with which he conducted him.
self at the dizzy height, provoking many
expressions of alarm and wonder The
mans name is DeLacy, and is in the en-
ploy OF Il. w. Deshler, the proprietor of
the Hull lightning rod, on Jefferson street.
DeLacy Was employed in endeavoring to
throw rope over tie cross on the steeple,
to assist ia attaching q lightning rod on the
top of the cross. The man looked very
small indeed as he let himself down with
a rope from an opening in the steeple. 49,
There is history connected with young
DeLacy which is both wonderful and terri
bic.
During the late war he was in the Con.
federate service and frequently acted as 8
spy, He was caught by the Federal forces
In Georgia, taken to Sayannah-we believe
tried, convicted and sentenced to be
shot. He was accordingly ordered to be
executed on given dav, and the order was
carried out. He fell before the fire ola file
of soldiers, pierced through the body with
bullets. He WAS supposed TO be dead and
carried away in his coffin bytwo men, who,
while conveying him to place OF
burial, thought signs of life were visible.
An examination of the body proved their
surmises to be well founded Instead of
being buried he was taken to the house of
an old colored woman, who nursed him for
several months when he recovered.
After the war he was employed by Il e
Bridge Company mere, and fell on9 day
from the highest point of the structure in
to the river, which he reached, fortunate
~, feet foremost. Rising to the surface of
the water after his fearful fall he managed
to reach some place OF safety where he
