THK "German" was danced at the Terre Haute House, Wednesday evening, by sixteen couples, led by H. M. Smith and Miss Burch of Nashville.

THERE has been much complaint in regard to boys and young men who congregate about the Opera House
every
even
ing that a performance is given there, smoking, using foul language and obstructing the sidewalk, besides being generally offensive to merchants doing business in that locality. Deputy Mar-, shal Yandever took the matter in band this week, anil for a while, at least, the nuisance will be removed.
AMUSEMENTS.
The only oompany booked for the Opera House next week is Rice's Evan* gellne Combination, the big sensation now going through the country, led by Miss Eliza Weathersby. It is a musical extravaganza, rich in soenery, costumes and spectacular effects and original music executed by superb orchestra, grand chorna and singing ballet. The New York Herald says:
The new operatio burlesque, "Evan geline" was produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last evening, and bad an en tbusiastlc reception.
The music is bright and lively, fall of little duets and sparkling choruses. There is much original and amualng business in the piece, and the Lone Fish' erman, who never utters a word, although be is in every scene, is a new part, and well played. "Evangeline" went off amidst genuine laughter and applause, and unquestionably made hit. It is free from vulgarity, and proof that burlesque opera does not need the spice of vice to be attractive to the public.
The sale of scats began this morning at the Centra] Bookstore.
LECTURES.
Our people will be unusually favored with lectures this season. The opeuinv lecture of the "Home Course" last evening, drew out a very large audience, considering the Inclement state of the weather, aud the lecture of Prof. Ridpath, of Asbury University, was aa effort that amply rewarded those who braved the mud and rain.

THE MUSICAL CONTEST. Mention has been made in these columns of a proposed grand musical tournament or contest, at the Opera House. We are gratified to learn that arrangements have been perfected and dates fixed for the 23d and 24th of November. Judges will be ohesen outside this city.
The full list of premiums to be offered has not yet been determined. The list below has, however, been decided, and the money is in readiness l.—Fifty dollars for best soprano. —Fifty dollars for best tenor. —Fifty dollars for best quartette.
4.—Ten
dollars for second soprano.
5.—Ten
dollars for second tenor.
6.—Ten dollars for second quartette. It is probable that a premium will be offered as "sweep stakes" lor amusement.
These contests are comparative!}' new in the west, but they are ver^r successful east. The honor of succeeding in a contest where there area score ot competitors, all with their admirers about them, is the chief thinz desired. And then the money is not Dy any means inconsiderable. It will, totlie successful parties, more than defrav a good many expenses. Contests of this kind are much more attractive than concerts. The interest grows intense, particularly on the second night. The,. contcstan ts look their prettiestand „*inz their best Ixcausc they select pieces best adapted lo their voices and to suit themselves.

List Sunday, the 14th inst, waa the Slat anniversary of the birth of Zadoc Reeves, of Lost Creek township, for the past forty or fifty years a prominent and leading citiwsn of theoount). The day was made the oocasion of a re-union by hia family, descendants, relative* and friends, in whioh some fifty or sixty persona, old and young, participated sumptuous and bountiful dinner was prepared by Mary, the only daughter remaining at home with the old gentle man. It Is needless to say that tbe din ner as well as the occasion waa highly enjoyed and appreciated by those whose fortune It waa to be present. Mr. R. first settled at Carlisle, Sullivan County, in the year 1819. After remaining at that village six or seven years, he lemoved to the neighborhood of Terre Haute—if the writer mistakes not, to the farm on which he now realdes, some five miles east of the city on the National road. At thai time, Evansvllle as well as lerre Haute contained not more than five or six log houses, while Vlncennes, Carlisle snd Merom were more pretentious in appearance. Indians were numerous frequently moving about in gangs of four and five hundred, yet seldom committing depredations upon the whites. Mr. Reeve retains his faculties of both body and mind to a remarkable degree, and relates with pith and point many Interesting incidents of the early settle ment of the Wabash Vslley. He bids fair to see several returning anniversries of his birtb. May such be the case.
