LADY DF THE LAKE. The performance of this drama on Tuesday evening by oar amateur* brought together a large and brilliant audience, completely filling the Opera House. 8everal changes bad necessarily to be made in the published cast. The following took the parts named:

When it is considered that few dramas are more difficult to interpret, even by professionals, all must admit that those who took part did well. We do not think it proper to criticise an amateur entertainment where all volunteer for a charitable purpose, and for the same reason we cannot bestow praise on one or more to the disparagement of others. In these amateur entertainments there are always enongh little jealousies, troubles and vexations, without the newspapers adding to the same by injudicious, though honest, mention of individuals. The entertainment concluded with the amusing farce of "Hunting a Turtle," tbe persoaations being: Mr. Turtle —L. G. Hager Timothy Dandelion Will Morgan Bmatter J. M. Duncan Lerison J. B. Hager Mrs. Turtle Miss Ettie Blake
Financially, the entertainment was a big success. Tbe receipts tor tickets foot up (607.75—the expenses being about 1200. Tbe fund will be divided between tbe Ladies' Aid Society and the G. A. R. for soldiers' families. Mr. L. G. Hager is entitled to much credit for originating and directing tbe affair so successfully. He was the moving spirit, and spent much time and labor to make it the success it was. "Come again!"

Concerning the reoent production of the Frog Opera in Baltimore, tbe American of that city spoke as follows:
The Frog Opera last night at the Academy, proved a brilliant sucoess, looking at it from every point of view, and was presented before one of the largest and most fashionable audiences ever known to assemble at this popular place of amusement. Everybody was in a good humor, and the quips, quirks and drolleries of the frogs, rats, oats, etc., were received in the most hilarious manner.
The loading idoa of the opera is an exceedingly novel one for the stage, and it was hitherto impossible to imagine what a vast fund of quaint fun lurks in the old nursery legend about the refractory frog, "who would a wooing go." Among those who aided in its production are numbered the first people of the city. Tbe stage setting is most beautiful, ami the effects that are gained are wonderful.
THE POET HUMORIST. Of J. W. Riley, who comes again next week, and appears at Dowling Hall on Tuesday evening, in bis original and inimitable dialect readings and humorous recitations, the People's Friend, at Covington,says:
We read about poets and humorists wo read their writings of melody and song, and drink in the richness of their flavored words, but to acquaint ourselves with a comprehensive idea of them, we must see a real live specimen, one that, when properly wound up, can sit and spin hour alter hour, words into feet, and feet into verses, verses into staneas, and stanzas into cantos, and cantos into eloquent poems, that trip and glide over the tongue in measured cadences of pathos and mirth.
In the recitations of Mr. RUey, it would but be supererogation to say that ho fully understands the ken and force of his selections, wbo enters into the spirit and inspiration of the author, since everything he utters comes, fresh and original, -from his own brain and pen. 11 carries us baok to tbe pal my days of epic Greece and proud old Rome, when the poet, standing above the billowy hoads of the multitudes gathered upon the Olympian plains or within tbe grand old forum, would recite his verses of heroism aud chivalry to the conglomerate throng. There is nothing ambiguous or clouded about bis thoughts. They stand out dear and sparkling as brilliants set I jmolten gold, Seldom do we find the p« et and elocutionist combined —in that inspect his is a double talent.
Indiana has produced her Mortons and Voorbeee', whose diplomacy in tbe one and forensic power of the other will parallel with that of any other State and it is not a matter of impossibility that she, in the near ftotnre should boast of a poet laureate. Tbe aristocratic and pedantic East may ironically asks "can any good thing ceme out of Nazareth?" Tbe future saith: "Wait ^pd see."
Mr. RTLBT has reason to be proud of his reception. It was a recognition of bis high poetic ability, and a flattering tribute to bis genius as a writer and reader of dialecC—Indianapolis News.
Harvey has tbe largest and finest stock of Furniture ever seen in this city. Call and see it.
TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING
THK Horticultural Society held its monthly meeting on Thursday at tbe house of Mrs. E. L. Noraross. It was largely attended and the main subject for discussion made ii unusually lively. This was: "Should there be a Censorship of the Press
T"
Such discussions
are productive of good, as showing public sentiment, bnt in a free goverment like this, and in a time of peace it is silly to talk of a real censorship of tbe press. Most publishers are printing papers for pay. Tbe successful publisher knows what the people want and he gives it to them. When people stop patronizing tbe trashy and pernicious paper, the publishers will stop printing them—not before. Tbe law can reach tbe indecent publications, and in this respect any citizen may become censor, by filing complaint in tbe proper court.
THB Daily News—the new evening paper—was killed last Tuesday evening, and resurrected at ten o'clock the next morning. Seaman, Lewis
A
Co. say the
experiment of establishing a third daily paper in this city has cost them about 9800, and hence the suspension. Mr. Seaman, besides being a good printer, is an industrious and forcible writer, and we are sorry that his venture was not successful. Tbe new proprietor is Hon. Emory P. Beaucbamp, who will, with his whole beart, make the paper a support
of the Republican party—
a Stalwart, with a great big S, the salutatory says. Tbe office has been moved to the
rear
of Mr. Beanchamp's law
office. Mr. Hardesty took charge of the editorial
colnrnRS for a
couple of days,
but we presume Mr. Beaucbamp will do tbe stalwart writing as soon as be gets the bang of the thing.
THE street sprinklers with their green wagons bave commenced their summer's work. As they go through the streets they look not unlike a circus wagon. And. the driver occasionally makes pedestrians play circus in the endeavor to dodge the water. With a cut-off that he works with his foot, he oan do some very clever squirting, and is warranted to hit a pair of polished boots every time. Tbe wagon comes jolting slowly around tbe comer, and, appearing to be empty, wears such an innocent look that you are encouraged to step on the crossing. Just at this instant the driver wags his foot, the string comes down, the floodgate opens, and your shiny boots or new dress take a batb. It is useless to abuse the driver. How can a man sit In front of a monitor and be expected to know what is going on behind He has all he can do to attend to tbe circus before him. The only safe plan is to give the wagon a wide berth. When you see one coming go down another street. In their treatment of street sprinklers tbe people are generally inconsistent. We treat them like we do doctors. We don't like to pay them but we cannot get along without them. Having them, we abuse them yet not having them w^lio&Hp a worse dust than before. Their chief fault is that they will not raze the dust until we first "raise the dust."
DISTRESSING AFFAIR. A terrible accident—suddenly sending sorrow and grief to two households— oocurred Thursday evening. A party consisting of Mrs. George M. Otterman Mrs. Anna Landrum, Samuel P. Hanna, Mrs. Hanna, Miss Ella Hanna, Mrs. Mary J. Ball, Chas. Meeker, Miss Ida Meeker, George Hughes, Misses Susie and Lizzie Helmcamp, Albert and Willie Henderson arranged to attend a re liglous meeting at Maxville, one mile west of tbe Main street river bridge, They emmployed Joseph Ellison to to drive them over, and crossed the bridge at about eight o'clock. About two-thirds the way along the grade is a trestle bridge, the approach to which is very narrow with steep sides, and just now the river is overflowing the bottom lands. The party was proceeding joyously, when without a moment's warning, just as the horses were about to step on the bridge the wagon went over and down the embankment some twenty feet, throwing all into the water. All escaped serious hurt except two— Mrs. George M. Otterman and Miss Ella Hanna—wbo were drowned. Tbe body of the first named was found immediately but the other drifted away and was not recovered until three o'clock in tbe morning. Mrs. Otterman was tbe wife of ex-policeman George M. Otterman, at present head blacksmith at tbe blast furnace, and was an excellent woman. Samuel T. Hanna, tbe candidate for constable on the Republican ticket, residing at 1610 Oak street, is the father of drowned girl. She was a zealous christian young lady, and it was mainly by her efforts that the party was formed.
