Thanksgiving Eve wednesday, 26th
inst, tirst-class social and dress ball will be
given at the Opera House by the Eaton Or
chestra. "Gilt-edged" invitations are now
out and no pains have been spared, and moth
ing has been left undone by the efficient
managers Herman Huette and Herman
Kester, to make this the ball of the season.

and the best of order will be preserved.
Last Sunday about noon one of the most
wonderful rhetorical phenomena ever
witnessed was visible in the Western hari-
zon, viz: Shooting stars in broad day
light" The stars were very dim, however,
and were only visible to persons having
very fine evesght Perhaps this might
have been the shower of stars predicted
by Prof. Tice. Although it be little be-
hind his anticipations, yet it may have
wrought on the old principle, Better late
than never"
Next week Thanksgiving weekly will be
an unusual week of attractions in the
amusement line The Murray & Ober Ex-
celsior Novelty Comedy Company, the
favorites with our amusement-seekers, will
open an engagement at the Opera House
next Monday night, the Gath inst. to con-
tinue every night Except Wednesday,
throughout the week. They will nndoubt-
edly meet with grand success, as they are
well known here and have merited goo
reputation by their successful engagement
here last season.
AVONDALE.
There was a meeting Yesterday of the
ladies of the Avondale Presbyterian Church
to provide for the wants of the poor in the
village. 1t is to be hoped that the ladies'
may prosper in their good work. Charity
begins at home.
The Mayor has called a special meeting
of Council tonight in the interest of the
Mount Auburn Street Railroad. 1t Is to
be hoped at the vacancies in the Board OF
Health will be filled so that that body may
speedily rganize, as there is plenty of inn
portant work for it to do before the cold
weather sets in.
Our reporter had Yesterday an interview
with MIR. Kerper with reference to the ex-
tension of the Eden Park street railroad to
the village. Mr.. Kerper says that
the present grade of Lane street
is such as to preclude the con-
struction of srteet railroad upon it with
out greatly increasing the cost of operat-
ing it. rendering it necessary to have sew
eral helpers, i. e. additional horses and at
tendantsat d fferent points along that street.
hence Mr.. Kerper prol oses to construct his
road along Oak street to the Reading Road
and thence along the Reading Road to
Avondale.
Mr.. Kerper stated that if the
citizens would procure the right
of way through private prop
erty and along Home street to kast
Shillito street. he will without aid from
the citizens of Avondale construct a roat
that will strike the center of the village
With proper street railroad facilities, thu
population of the village would increast
largely and the value of property great !,
enhance. Now is the time for al
citizens having the welfare of the vii
lage at heart to move in the matter. Call i
meeting and appoint Citizens Committed
tn confer with the street railroad managers
and take immediate action to secure stree
railroad, otherwise YOU had better fence il
the village or become annexed to the city
