SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT BRIDGToN.-A letter
from Bridgton says that George A. Wright,
Esq, of this city, connected with the Ocean
Insurance Company, wife, and Mrs. White of
Poughkeepsie, N Y, met with serious acct
dent while descending Mt. Pleasant, Bridgton,
yesterday. They were in two-horse carriage,
and had passed safely down the dangerous part
of he mountain, and had taken this carriage,
which had no brake. The thimble on the
cross-bar, to which the hold-back strap is
attached, came off, letting the carriage upon
the heel of the horses, which became fright
ened and dashed forward at fearful rate.
They soon cleared themselves of the carriage,
which ran off the road and plunged down a
bank thirty feet, entirely smashing it. Mr..
Wright was thrown across a rock, severely
injnring his stomach, and it was at first feared
that he had sustained serious internal injuries,
but later intelligence indicates that, though
severely bruised, his injury is not serious as
was first thought. Mrs. Wright had her collar
bone broken and sustained a severe bruise on
the side of the head Mrs. White escaped with
a confusion upon the head. They were taken
to the Bridgton House, where they were made
as comfortable as possible

THE OPERA LAST N1GHT.-Tbat our music
loving people can be easily surfeited with
the repetition of anything that is good was
clearly proved to the contrary last night by
the splendid audience assembled at the The.
atre to witness the third representation OF
the opera Of Der Freischutz by the Gesang-
verein Virginia. The appreciation with
which 1t was received was eyinced In the re-
pea:ed applause which greeted the various
beautiful arias and grand choruses abound
ing throughout the piece. The singers
seemed inspired with this recognition OF
their efforts and sang with unusual effect.
Mrs. DR.. Wendlinger as agatha added
fresh laurels to her reputation by her eXqui-
site singing. She sustained her part with q
degree of expression that was decidedly
pleasing, and complimentary remarks could
be heard in every direction. Miss Mamie
Reinbardt as Annchen was, as usual, viva.
cious and delightful III her actions IS we'll as
in her singing. Both ladies were forced to
respond to encores, and received a number of
floral tributes. ."
Mr.. Emil Fischer sustained bis part better
than at any of the previous rendilions Of
either opera. He was in much better voice,
and sang and acted with more force and ami
nation.
Mr.. Perrot as Caspar, did splendidly both
In singing and acting.
The incarnation scene, if possible, sur-
passed any former representation; and, in
fact, to sum it up In few words, the opera
was noble success, and not only pleased,
but delighted all who witnessed it. Our
only regret is that we have seen the last of
it for the present, but hope the day is no! far
distant when the Gesangverein will add to
their repertoire and give us smother such
treat as they have done.
