Comic Opera at the Theatre.

OTenbach, the greatest of opera-boufe
composers, never gave 10 the world more
tuneful and melOdlOus opera than the Bril-
gands. 1t abounds with sparkling musical
gems and strong, well cOunterpolnted cho-
ruses. and has the catchy charming move
ments SO peculiar TO the works OF Ohen-
bach.
The Grau Company opened their season
last night at the Theatre with this opera.
The piece was given in thoroughlyen-
ioyable manner. The chorus sang with
much spirit and the members of the cast
were unusually good. VIII Guiberson, a
handsome, tinely-formed man with beau
tiful high baritone voice, rendered the part
of the Brigand in an highly artistic man.
ner. Marie Greenwood, well known here,
made charming brigandess, displaying
her high, well-trained soprano TO great ad-
vantage. Miss Hosmer a. the Countess OF
Grenada and Mr.. Guryill as the Due de
Mantua were admirable additions TO the
cast Harry Brown, that old Richmond
favorite, and Monte Walker, one OF our
Richmond boys, brought out the comedy
of the opera so prominently as to keep the
audience in a roar.
The director was a woman MISS Marie
Stiener), something rather unusual IN
opera, but Miss STEINER held the orchestra
down rs firmly as any bewhlskered I'M
pressario could.
The Brigands will be repeated tonight,
and the beautiful music and the tine cha
racter of the company should draw large
house.

William Kennedy (colored), who was
indicted for feloniously assaulting and
wouuding Thomas =. Turner with stick,
was put upon trial. The evidence was
heard and the case submitted without
argument. The jury returned 70 their
room. and after a short absence returned
with verdict of guilty and fixed Ken
nedy's punishment at one year IN the penl-
tentiarv.
MIR. d. G. Richardson, counsel for the
defence. moved for a new trial. This the
Commonwealth Attorney opposed.
Judge Witt said n jury Tuesday sent q
man to jail for six months who went 20 n
mans house AT midnight, made an assault
upon him, and broke his leg. Here Is a
case where a man in the heat Of passion
strikes another over the head with stick
and the jury gives him one year IN the
peuitentiary, which does not look like
even-handcd Justice. Mr.. Richardson,
I'll take this matter under consideration
until tomorrow" said he.
Yesterday was the date fixed for the ap-
pcarance Of Mr.. W. X. Bowieto renew his
bond for his appearance at the October

in bed. and asked that the Court and Clerk
take his bail at his residence for his ap-
pcarance at court the next term.

in his record the fact that Mr.. Bowie was
unable TO appear in court in consequence
of sickness. He then informed Mr.. Mere

4 Slight Rise That wiz DO but Little
Damage.

The James river begun to increase in
volume suddenly night before last and
rose so rapidly during the night that early
Yesterday morning it was feared there
would be another freshet Of considerable
moment.
1t was soon learned, however. that there
was no great rise in the stream above Co
lumbia. where the Riyanna emptes its
waters into the james, and that even hero
the height attained was not sufficient to
cause any serious apprehension.
The rise at this point was nineteen feet
above common tide, and at 3 p. VI. the
water had fallen one foot. The rise az
Scottsville was only six feet, and above
there il was even less.
None of the railroads suffered any serious
inconvenience by reason Of the rain or high
water. There was washout Tuesday night
az the thirty y-four-mile-pOst on the York
River road, but this was repaired in time
