Nixsson will be livre one week from to-night. The little charmer will sing in Jacksonville, Illinois, Friday night of this week, and will immediately start for Terre Haute, where she wi'd arrive sometime next. Saturday, and enjoy tiie hospitalities of o'.tr city at the Terre Iiaule Hou.-e until Monday night. This ii really encouraging for once under the protection of our genial and accommodating host, Cam JJuntin, she-will receive such kindly attention and .such accommodations as will insure her against "inflamation of the throat." And we can also insure for her, a more comfortable and much more beautiful building than Indianapolis furnished her to "warble" in. Care will also be taken that a cold current of air does not s\ve*a across the stage as it did in that city and as a result of this care and attention, we think she will leave our beautiful city w!th a much better impression of the kindly attention of our citizens than she had of Indianajiolis.

Yes, and there i.s several more now in jail that will follow "in tiie train of those who have gone before," just as soon as their cases can be reached. We consider it to the credit and honor of our county that we are .as well represented at that institution as we are for it argues that we have a Criminal Court Judge and Prosecutor who are untiring in thcirzeal and not wanting in their ability to««cnd our violators of law to the penitentiary. "Tii is steady drain upon her population" is only felt to be appreciated. We have 110 ambition to swell the number of inabitants of our beautiful prairie city by the infiux into our midst of Indianapolis burglars, or thieves and scoundrels from any other point, as is frcquentlv the case. Out of three burglars arrested here recently but one was a native of this place, the other two being entire strangers. Did Indianapolis have a better representation ai Jctler.-onville, it would, no doubt, be much to her interest, although we wiii admit that it would not add anything to the respectability of that industrial institution.
Editor of Terrc 1 Tautc Gazette: 1 am Very sorry to see a disposition manifested by a portion of our citizens to censure Mile. Nilsson for her failure to appear, according to published annoucements, on the evening of the 17th. I have taken some pains to inquire into the facts of the case, and feel satisfied that while her non-appearance is to be regretted, and lias caused much disappointment among our own people, and more with those who came from alliance, 110 real blame is to be attached to her or those connected with her troupe for this unfortunate event. indeed, wnen it is remembered that Mile. Xilsson was altogether out of voice on the night set apart for her appearance here, our citizens should rather congratulate themselves that she postponed her engagement until the 30th. To have appeared at the time first selected would

not only have done injustice to herself, but have left an impression upon the minds of those who heard her, altogether different from what is justly her due, and will doubtless be realized by tho'e who may be fortunate enough to hear her next week.
The Cincinnati papers are full of the praises of Mile. Nilsson, representing her as having entirely recovered from her recent indisposition, and again the same sweet bird of song as ever. As such an opportunity for hearing "llie concord of sweet sound" will not-, in all probability, ever be offered our citizens auain, it, is to be hoped that our beautiful Opera House will be filled from orchestra to gallery, next Monday evening.
