uThete was a fine audience in attend
ance at the entertainment of the Ten
nessee Jubilee Singers at the Opera
House last Saturday evening, and the
performances gave general satisfaction.

The election in this place passed off
very peacably. Earnest. active work

the Rev. Hills, at the Opera House,
who raved and roared like Texas steer
in slaughter house. 90
One of our fierce, vituperative Ra-
VIENNA females expressed the hope the
other day that if Hancock should be
successful he would be shot the next
day after his election. We know she
is lady by the remark she made. -. e
