The Opera wherever presented has been greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences. It has been running at the Broad .Street Theatre for over thirty nights, and the longer it remains the larger the attendance. Jt will be present ed in this cily under the same manage ment, company and scenery. In speaking of the Ojsra the Philadelphia Press says : "The people who go to see 'Pinafore,' at the Broad Street Theatie afford the observer of audiences a brilliant sight and a pleasing study. Taking a com manding post of observation, and glanc ing over the auditorium, at all times crowded, the looker on is first impressed by the prevailing air of intelligence and respectability. Then the fashionable cast of the house makes itself felt, and thickly scattered throughout the theatre, leading representatives of our liest society are seen, people who are rarely attracted to a temple of the drama. After this, the family aspect of the attendance is noticed, and it is seen that fathers and mothers have taken their entire home circles to enjoy the pure fun and beauti ful music of Nullivau and Gilbert's chef iToutre. The character of 'Pinafore's' audiences is due to the merit of the opera, its cleanliness, and the cordial and unani mous endorsement given il by the press of the city.

His plowmen worked in gangs, often run ning offs rait furrows of from two to five milef in turning. At Ids most prosjierous period on his Bui r Oak estate he was out of all debt save about $68,000, against which he held gilt-edge paper worth $150,000. Hut Just at this point the mania for spec ulation seized him, and he ran heavily in debt in order to improve and subdivide bis great estate Into small farms, by the sale of which he liojjed to realize very largely. He borrowed half a million dollars from a single money-lender, se curing the loan by trust deeds, mortgag ed bis personal property deeply, and bor rowed even all the money he had setled on his wife. He paid ten percent, inter est and five jx*r cent, commissions on many of his loans, and for some time paid $00,000 a year—the interest on a million—in interest on Ins loans. Mean time prices of land produce were declin ing steadily, and the very basis upon which Sullivant rested Ins speculations had collapsed. A year ago Sullivant made an assignment, his liabilities a inouiuing to $2,000,000, and bis princi pal creditor took his entire real estate, the personal being entirely absoihed*by the chattel mortgages. Thus the great est farmer in Illinois came to the last pe riod in his strange career. He would have been a happier man, and might have died a rich one likewise, if he had been content to stick to the "good farm in Ohio." so as to lose time in The Ifew York tustoiu IIoiino I Iff lit.

After her covery she was taken to Philadelphia to have her eyes treated, but the treatment not successful, and she soon lost the sight of the other eye, leaving her total ly blind. * During her days ot blindness Miss Lombard employed her time in knlttiuj and making little card-board ornameuts, at which work she becaxie very success ful, her productions finding a ready sale. She made many friends who sympathiz ed with her atHiction, and admired her sweet amiable disposition. She had giv up all hopes ot ever being able to again, and was resigned to ber sad fate. On Wednesday morning of last week she awoke early suffering from a severe headache and paiu in her eyes. Her mother bathed her head and she fell asleep again.
