A DAVENPORT :SEANCE. The Davenport
Brothers we're advertised to give one of their
spiritual digtations, or whatever other
kind OF entertainment you choose to call 1t, at
the Opera House oa Saturday night, aud con.
sequcntly heterogeneous audience assembled
TO witness it. 1t seems that great number or
men and boys went there for the express pur-
pose of having a row, and they had it. The
first part of the entertainment passed OFT quietly
enough, but when the Brothers were about
TO give their dark seapce" the fun commence
ed. AS soon as the lights we're turued down,
and everything 10 readiness to commence ope-
ratious, hall dozen dark lanterns in the hands
Of those in the audience flashed simultaneously
on the Brothers. The lights we're immedi-
ately turDed on and the Davenports refused to
proceed with the seaoce, and said the per-
formauce for the evening had concluded. Then
commenced the most terrific yelling, VI hopping,
bawlipg, hootipg, Kissing bowling, shrieking,
screaming, grooming, and screeching We ever
heard. in the midst of which the gas was turned
off, leaving the audience 10 com plete darkness.
This was confusion worse confounded. The
shades of the gas lights on the gallery we're
pulled off and hurled across the room, chairs
were thrown on the stage, and shouts of
fraud, :" tar and feather them,'' &C., accom-
panied the flying articles. The excitement
finally subsided and the crowd dispersed. The
conduct on the part Of some of those present
was outrageous and . Disgrace to the city.
When people buy tickets to see fraud, and
