great event of the season—the

Grand English Opera this evening.

Hon.

Patterson presiding, convened this morning pursuant to adjournment. After the usual business of calling the docket, etc., had been transacted, the case of Freeman vs. Rockwell was called and tried by the court. The plaintiff sold defendant a watch some time since who paid part of the money, but refused to pay the balance at the specified time, alleging that the watch was not "finished up" as represented, and thus the plaintiff brought suit to recover the ballance due. After a hearing of the case the Court rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff. Messrs. Baird & Cruft and Davis & Davis for the plaintiff and Wm. E. McLean for the defenddant.

The Court then adjourned until 2 o'clock P. M. The Criminal Court, Hon. Thomas B. Long, presiding, convened as usual this morning, but almost immediately adjourned. The Grand Jury have not as yet returned any indictments.

The Mayor's Court, Hon. G. F. Cookerly, presiding, was entertained the greater part of the forenoon with hearing a very interesting account of the travels of Charles Sumner, of Mass., a man giving that name and station, having been arrested on the corner of Fourth and Cherry streets by Chief ot Police Crowe, who charged the aforesaid Charley with being drunken and crowing immoderately at the grand exposition he had made of General Grant's "San Domingo job." After His Honor, and the gasping spectators had listened to Mr. Sumner's denunciation of President Grant for sometime, they came to the conclusion that the Charles before them was not the great Massachusetts Charles but that he was crazy and a most stupendious fraud.

arriving at which conclu

sion Dan Crowe presented him with a torn copy of the New Testament, and His Honor told him to "git" out of town, which he did, in the direction of Maxville, where he alleged he had an engagement to lecture.

entertainment of the season will

be giveH this evening at the Opera House by the grand English Opera Combination. This will be the first, and no doubt only chance, for a long time at least, that our citizens will have an opportunity to attend a grand full opera. In fact we feel assured that this musical jubilee will be second only to the great Boston Peace Jubilee, over which the Union went wild not long since. Upon this occasion will be presented the following varied talent: Five Prima Donnas, three tennors, three bassos, one buffo one baritone, all distinguished in their profession. The chorus is rendered by forty voices, and the orchestra consists of seventeen first-class performers, under Mr. S. Behrens, conductor. The combi nation embraces the Richings-Bernard and the Parepa Rosa companies of last season, and all first-class in their special roles.

The programme for this evening is Flotow's charming and popular opera of "Martha" and will be rendered with full chorus and orchestra, for the first time in this city. Of course every one who can possibly so arrange matters as to go will be present upon tnis eventful even ing. Reserve seats at B. G. Cox's book store.

THE COMING EXCURSION.—Ata

ing of citizens, held at the Terre Haute House, to take action upon the letter of Prof. Cox, relative to the proposed visit to our city of the "American Association for the Advancement of Science," Mr. W. J. Ball was called to the chair and Jacob H. Hager, Jr., appointed Secretary. Upon motion, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted

WHEREAS, The City Council is the proper body to consider and take action in the premises, llesolved, That the letter of Prof, Cox be referred by this meetinar to the City Council, and that it be requested to take favorable action thereon. llesolved, That a committee consisting of J.

found dead in the canal basin on Third street3Testerday afternoon by some little boys. The child was taken to the Mayor's oflice and an inquest was then held, the jury giving a verdict that it came to its death by "being struck upon the back of the head." It appeared to have baen born the night previous. Nothing has been developed as to the perpetrators of the foul deed.

MUSCLE.—A

is soon to

talk at Wheeling, West Virginia. He is going to visit all the cities in the Union, in his great canvass for the Presidency in 1872!! He will return to this city and favor our our citizens with another expose of the workings of the corrupt rings of both parties on the 16th of May.

WE saw two local editors Tuesday evening who asserted that they had bet twenty dollars each on the Connecticut election. Where did they get that amount of money It looks suspicious, and the attention of the police is called to these startling facts.—Journal.

Remarkable Family.

Mr. Abraham Howe, of Leopold, Indiana, furnishes the Cannelton Enquirer a brief history of a very old couple who have a very large family. He says that John Larman and Martha his wife, whose maiden name was Thrasher, now living in Leopold township, Perry county, Indiana, have certainly followed the Scriptural injunction, "to multiply and replenish the earth." John Lanman was born in Caswell county, North Carolina, May 30,1783, and his wife was born in Bedford county, Virginia, near the Bull Run battle ground, March 9, 1788, and are consequently aged 88 and 83 respectively. They were married in Breckenridge county, Kentucky, March 3,1808, moved to Perry county in 1811, before the battle of Tippecanoe, and first paid taxes to the Sheriff at Vincennes when that was a portion of Knox county. They have been members of the Baptist

church for fifty years, and have now 198 children, grand children, and great grand children, and 45 dead, making a total living and dead of 243. If there has ever been a single one of the family had a civil lawsuit, or arrested for an otfence it is not known to Mr. Howe, who is the father of ten of the living and one of the dead grand children above.

The Philadelphia Mint will redeem each kind of United States copper, nickel and bronze coins, when forwarded in even sums of S20, or any multiple of $20. Copper cents prior to 18-57, nickel-copper cents from 1857 to 1864, and bronze cents since 1S64, must come separately.
