Rev. T. D. WITHERsPooN, D. D.,
Of Louisville, preached yesterday
morning and last night at the Second
Presbyterian church, where he was
for SO many years the beloved and re-
spected pastor. He left on account Of
his health, which was afterward quite
restored by living in the mountain air
Of Virginia and travelling in Europe.
A few years ago he accepted call
from one of the leading Presbyterian
churches Of Louisville. His few visits
here are always hailed with pleasure
not only by the entire Presbyterian
element of the community, but by the
public at large, and especially by all
who knew him personally or ever
heard him preach. He lectures to.

DUBLIN, April 3O.-The trial Of
Fitzharris, known as Skin the Goat, +"
one of the alleged principals in the
murder of Cavendish and Burke. was
begun this morning. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty. The case for
prosecution was opened by Porter,
Attorney General for Ireland. He
argued that although Fitzharris did
not personally stab Burke, yet be was
cognizant of the fact, and was an
informant of the murder, as he drove
OFT the assassins red handed. The de-
tense will endeavor to prove that Fitz
harris merely drove the murderers in
the course of his avocatiOn as cab

his errand was.

has to be telegraphed all over the

A crushing audience assembled at

especially attractive and winning,
The lady was Miss Grace Hiltz a
beautiful young person apparently not
more than sixteen. 1t is said she is
considerably beyond her teens, though
she does not look it. Miss Hiltz is a

nervousness, but she can sing very
charmingly. She acts well, is good

that she Jumped like bird" almost.
1t created considerable merriment,
and even the players were unable to
restrain themselves. 1t was really a
charming impersonation of Airline, as
rendered by Miss Hiltz, and she won
the good favor of the audience, besides
receiving liberal applause. Her sing
ing OF the waltz song from Romeo
and Juliet, which was introduced at
the beginning of the fourth
act, was very artistic, and
the whole opera was smoothly and
