A Large Audience In the Opera House
Saturday Night.

Large Audience In the Opera House
Saturday Night.
A crowded house greeted the Philadelphia
musicians at the Opera House last evening
on the occ aston of the concert of the
"AncieRt Order of Hibernians." The pro-
gram was excellent, the selections being
largely classical. The numbers most
appropriate to the occasion met with
greatest favor. 1.-THE Palms." by NJ.
Donavan; "Kerry Dance" by Miss
Cough; "Katy's Letter." by Miss Creigh-
ton and the "Lami Waltz" by
Madame Lami, gained encores. The
First Regiment Band did itself credit. The
program as announced was carefully given,
with the exception of one omission.
At the conclusion of the musical part of
the program the large chime-organ was
placed at right angle with and adjoining
the end of the piano, and while arrange
ments were being made for the awarding
of the prize, Prof. Wehman improvised a
pretty selection, playing the organ with
his right hand and the piano with the other.
Mayor Wales, M. L. Lichtenstein and
William McMenamin composed the COM
miJtee who had charge of the drawing.
large copper wheel or jury box, con-
saining about 3 500 numbers, one Tor each
ticket sold, was placed on table on the
ttage. After the Mayor had thanked the
audience, the First Regiment Band, which
kindly volunteered It's services, and the
city press, on behalf of the orphans and the
Ancient Order OF Hibernians, for kind
nesses shown, he explained how the draw
ing would take place. Master Joseph P.
Wales, the Mayors son, was blindfolded
and drew three tickets from the wheel,
which was turned by Mr.. McMenamin. The
first two tickets were thrown back again,
and the third number was read aloud, No.
!, ,425, being declared the lucky holder.
The winner of the organ was young
man living over Third street bridge, whose
name has not yet been learned.
A guarantee was read from f. Wagner,
warranting the organ for seven years, and
offering to take 1t within one year at S137 80
in part payment for any piano in his store.
The managers of the entertainment have
received much praise for their first attempt
at celebrating st. Patrick's Day with a con-
cert, and also have a goodly sum of money
to contribute to the worthy objec in whose
behalf the entertainment was given.

John o,Byrne on Ireland.

John O'Byrne, Esq, of New York, spoke
at the annual dinner of the Hibernian Soei-
ETY. of Philadelphia Saturday: "On theme
SO inspiring, it should be no treat for an
Irishman to speak. ireland in the old time
was called the land of song. 1t is sad
thing to say in the nineteenth century we
are compelled to call it land of sorrow. It
is the fashion of men of my race to speak in
terms laudatory of the some of the old land.
II is their royal right. I say here, that,
everything being equal, the Irish celt is sec
ond to no man. I must protest against
assassination. [Applause. Assassination,
as practical end or means, never has lived
to the righting of any wrong. [Cries OF
s'that is so."] To say it does is but on
par with the assertion frequently made that
Irishmen are not fit to govern. Nothing was
ever more false than this last slander on a
brave people. No we are better fitted to
rule and govern and conduct the destiny Of
Ireland than we were 100 years ago Give
us ireland tomorrow aud we will prove to
you we can. [Applause.

GOOD Advice to a Dover Paper.

IOItoHsUVIOi lIHu'fJ FIeb FTtss.J
The DetGwdreGn opposes the expenditure
of money by the State of Delaware to aid in
the education of colored people. The Della
wdredm holds tenaceously TO many old things
which is commendable, but this is an age of
progress and ho one need fosilize for the
sake OF adhering to a principal of doubtful
wisdom even in the day when it more gen.
orally obtained. That educated people,
whether white or colored, make the best
citizens is self evident and it looks reason
able, therefore, that we should rather en-
deavor to increase the educational advan-
tages of the negro than otherwise. We hope
our esteemed friend of the Delawdrean does
not seek to control the State through the
ignorance of SO large class of its inhabi-

The Is. and o. Road through hartford

Regarding the effort in progress, and pre-
viously mentioned, to induce the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to locate the
route of their Philadelphia extension on the
line OF Churchville, Hartford county, instead
of running so near the Philadelphia, Will
Iningten and Baltimore road as the present
survey indicates, a correspondent of the
Belair Agis urges upon citizens of the
northern section of Hartford county the great
Importance to them of inducing the Balti-
more and Ohio management to locate their
road through their section. The correspon-
dent argues forcibly in favor of giving the
right Of way to the Baltimore aud Ohio, and
glo8ingly sets forth the advantages to re-
suit from such action. A meeting of citi-
zens interested will be held at Churchville
next Saturday, the oath instant, at 3 p. M,
and the correspondent pleads energetically
for large attendance and prompt action.
