OUR COLORED OPERA TROUPE.

Concerning our coloTed opera troupe the Phil

audience attracted TO Horticultural hall last

troupe, really excellent, well trained, posse sses
agreeable voices, sing lntellgeRtly, and with eX.
peHence will, We are confident, attract q great
deal OF attention and receive high praise"
The RreninJ star, OF Philadelphia, says: This
company made It's 1rst appearance here last even.
Ing at Horticultural hall, to an audience which,
though not large, was attentive and sympathe hetic.
The attendance wOull no doubt have been larger

the performance was an agreeable surprise 10 all
who were present, not OILY being a decided sue.

From the Philadelphia PFSs.s "Elchburg's yery

Doctor OF hlcantara' was given at Horticultural

the Impression having prevailed, no doubt, thai
the representation would be failure or at best

not have been made, for the opera was unusu.

on Saturday afternoon last word was sent to
the detective otilce that the trunk of Vice Presl-
don't ColfaN had been broken open 10 hls rooms
at wormleyS, and O considerable amount IN
bonds and stock distracted theretrom. The
chief detective at once repaired to the spot, and
In q conversation with Mr.. Colfax ascertaned
that while the family was absent the trunk had
been broken open, and stocks and nve-tweuty
United States bonds, some mortgage papers to
the amount In all Of nearly 5000, had been
taken from small tin box. In addition ia
these, jewelry to the amount Of $500 was miss
ing, and, worse than ell, there was no clue to the
thief.
The nficcs, after as,ertainins thsss facts pro.
ceeded at once O. tie oflOe Of The hotel an'
there began his inquiries, which resulted IN MS
making up hls mind that q high-toned looking
gentleman who had registered ~ George w.
Mason and remained for a couple Of days was
the guilty party. Ilc had left that day at !
O'Clock, anl after getting full description oi
him Mr. ClirvOe started od. The case was as
signed TO Detectives McDcyitt and Miller, aud
they were soon whlrling away on the Northern
train 10 search Of the missing property.
Al late hour last night dispatch was re-
Celved from these ofilceru stating that they wer'
sure they would succeed 10 recovering Mr. Col
faxs bonds aud that he might rest assured that HI
would soon rejoice In his riches. Rumors In re
gard TO this theft were very prevalent through tht
city on Sunday, and a reporter Of the RErrBI
cw was sent to call on Mr.. womley to aAcertair
the facts In regard to II. aud was Informed hy
MI. W. that the trunk Of tue Vice President hat
been rined, but that the only articles mlsslni

EprruR RRPrBLIcAS; The country to-day looks
Ike the breaking up Of hanl winter. Itlooks like
what Il Is. This will be q memorable winter, on
account OF the degree Of cold ani the amount Of
water that has fallen. The nrst scons TO be
pretty nearly II not quite out Of the ground, and
but few farmers care 10 determine the depth OF
the mud by ventnrlng abroad with their horses
and wagons. The peach buds are nearly all
dead, and this is the trst time that have known
the winter to XIII them here. some men that
hear of say that In their orchards the buds are
not badly Killed. There may be orchards that
have heen spared or protected by the shelterlnH
condition OF the locality. But the examination
Of peach buds that have made satisfies me that
coming summer. The scattering blossoms that
the spring may unfold on the trees will not pro-
duce fruit enough to serve the swArms OF cur
ciou. fruit next July without satisfaction.
The Washington and ohio railroad issued half.

The people, 80 far as | have heard, do not
relish the action Of the Committee OF the District
Of Columbia In Congress relative to their peti.
tion TO have the oppressive tolls OF the Aqueduct
bridge cut down. The bridge company, | believe,
paid tls,O0 Tor the Inpestructure, Congress,
think, paid for the plers,) and It has received
nearly tSa,O,N In tolls. Tho petition for a rsduc-
ton Of tolls Is not only prfnd ydts 20, but really
over; nay, buried forever. There does not ap-
pear to be much regard for the common people
anywhere. A Mr.. Wells Forbes, formerly from
New Hampshire, has recently bought three
parcels of land here, one from q. h, Ives, one
