KERsAND's MINsrRELs AT THE OPERA
HOUSE.

The opera house was tull-pscked until
there was not standing roem-last night To
say that the music and song, full. ricL and
malodious is no exagerstion. The true old
time plantation Niger was there in the
rich reality-true as nature itself. The re-
nouned Billie Kersand had favorite place
and struck at once the chord Of popular
favor. The song, dance was master piece
of minstralcy and the house roared
and laughed and clapped their hands
in appreciation. The rich voices, the splen-
did vocal renditions was rare trest. The
black Zouaves drill was the most novel
and interesting piece Of musical drill pre-
sen.ed on the stage in the west As min
s,rel troupe il is par excellence superb.

The Ohio Election.

Complete unofficial returns from
all the counties in the State make the
Republican majority on the State
ticket 1858.
The legislature is still in doubt and
the official returns alone will settle
its political complexion. Omitting
Hamilton county. in which Cincinnati
is located, the Republicans claim Sc
members in the House and II in the
Senate. Several districts are disput-
ed by the Democrats. If the Repub-
llcan claims are based on the true
returns they have majority Off on
Joint ballot outside of Hamilton
county. In that county both parties
are claiming Ii doubtful members
The Republicans concede one mem
Der out of the IA to the Democrats
Both sides are still claiming the Leg
islature, but the chances are that The
Republicans will have majority OIL
Ijoint ballot, though the Democrat
will have control of the Senate by {
good majority.

The latest postal law decision is
TO the effect that publishers of news
papers can, under-the-law, arres,
any man for fraud who takes a pa
per and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law it is a dangerous trick for
man to allow his subscription amount
to run OH from six months 10 a veal
and half unpaid, and then tell the
postmaster to mark it "refused," OF
send the editor postal card to dis
continue the paper.-Muhlenbert
Echo.
A much more satisfactory and bus
iness-likc plan would be for publish
ers to discontinue subscriptions whei
they expire and not attempt to fore
their patrons to take the paper wheth
or they want it or not. The casl
system is infinitely better for boil
publisher and subscriber and give
10 opportunity for fraud on eithe
side.

HONEY GROVE, Ten, April 27.--
Yesterday about IL o'clock west
bound freight train was wrecked at

with lumber and shingles were thrown
from the track. A broken rail caused
the mischief. No person was serious
ly hurt. The road Is in very bad
condition.
This morning about half-past one
o'clock we were aroused by the alarm
OF fire. Before forces could be col
lected the flames were under such
Roadway that IL was impossible to
check them, The southwest block on
the public square was consumed. the
saddlery and harness house OF john
son 4 Harris, Kempner's dry
goods, Kinsworthy's blacksmith
shop and the Office Of the lumber COM
pany OF Seaton n Short, in connection
with which were the doors, windows,
and mouldings belonging to the COM
pany. A part OF each stock was
saved. There was but little II any In
surance on either the buildings or
stocks. Is difficult to estimate the
loss, but 1t is considerable. For
tunately the atmosphere was unusually
calm, which confined the fire to the
one block. II was evidently the work
OF some fiend who Is bent on helllsh
service. No definite clew has yet been
discovered as TO who that hend Is, but
strong suspicion rests on man who
was arrested this morning and Is

CROP REPORT.
Small Acreage of Winter Wheat,
With Prospects of a Big Corn Crop.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 29.-The
Farmers Review In summoning up the
condition of the wheat and corn crops
throughout the United States, says very
little can be said in favor of the winter
wheat crop; that the abundance of
rain which has fallen has revived the
life III plants, but has altogether con-
hrmed the reports of the large proper
ton of the winter crop killed.
The reports say there will probably
be the same acreage of spring wheat as
in 1854, that the oats crop will proba-
bly, be very large, and that the corn
acreage promises to be very large,
owing to the fact that the condition of
the wheat crop has caused many
acres of winter wheat to be plowed up
and put into corn.
