Gen. John c. Breckenridge is in the city,
having returned from a short trip to Muir
freesboro, whittier he went as a guest Of
Major T. p. DaTragh, a gallant member Of
his staff during the late war. Knowing the
warm and generous qualities and the prince
ly hospitality of Major Darragh's home, we
venture to say the entertainment of Gen.
Breckenridge was in every respect worthy a
distinguished friend and honored guest.
Gen. Breckenridge will be in our city day

Among the press members in the city is
Major Geo. NJ. Emack, the brilliant editor

Nashville opera House.

The grand spectacular drama of the
Black Crook was produced at the Opera
House last night, and considering the
stormy condition of the weather in the
early part of the evening, the audience was
much larger than could have been expected.
The piece is brought out with all the gorge
Gus scenery and magnificent appointments
that has made this spectacle 50 famous
throughout the country, aud the dazzling
beauty of the paraphernalia which is the
great feature of attraction from first to last
has only to be seen to be admired and APP
preciatcd, the piece terminating with what
is known as the transformation scene, which
is grand beyond description. One of the
most pleasing and at the same time mar
vellous attractions is that Of Mile Carlotta
Turnour, in her trapeze acts, which are
equal to the aerial feats ever performed
in the country. Cellini's combined
Viennaise and Parisienne ballet troupe, in
their rich costumes form prominent part
in the piece, while Mile Louise AIazzeri,
and the other danSeuses and solOists add to
the magnificence of this wonderful produc-
ton. Manager Grey has produced this
spectacle at a heavy expense, and has been
compelled to advance the price of tickets
in order to save himself from loss, but a
very small portion of the receipts nightly
falling to his share. This magnificent
spectacle will be continued throughout the
week, and no doubt the theatre will be
crowded to its utmost capacity.

The OK in the Ditch.

This morning about / O'Clock, the dreams
of those sleeping near No. Is South Cherry
street were disturbed by mournful groans
as ever came from the breast of agony itself.
One of the neighbOrs lit lamp, cautiously
proceeded to the gate, and, looking
out saw cow stretched on
the pavement unable to rise. A policeman
came promptly to hand, and with the as
sistance of several other gentlemen tried to
take ''the OK out of the ditch" but after
some tngging and pulling she was left in
the ditch by the roadside to look upon the
stars and sigh away the restless hours til
morn.
