Wheeler's New Opera House.-The
occasion OF the first appearance of MAGoIK
mitchell in Toledo was greeted with crowded
houses during her three evenings engagement,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
The new Opera House, ofwhich the citizens OF
Toledo have occasion to feel proud, as it will
compare favorably with any in the country, is
calculated to seat 400 persons, aud yet there
were not seats enough by two or three hundred
to accommodate those in attendance. Quite a
number Of our citizens from this place visited
the new Opera House on this occasior, and a
large number were anx ous to 60, had the run
ming time on the road been such that they
could return at the close Of the performance.

The resumption Of the 'Autocrat" series in 'The

is a literary event Of unusual interest +; and
these papers will be more charming than any
thing he has yet done in his most characteristic
vein. The discovery of complete romance by

touches, it shows some Of the processes of his
subtle invention, and, as 1t were, takes the
reader into his confidence.

pages Of each number and will notice not only
Al htr t1fore, the prominent phases ofliterature,
but those Of politics, art, music and science.
Under each Of these heads the ATLANTIC, while
