THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 18GT. AMUSEMENTS. Enoi.mk Opera. One of the larncst audi ences ever assembled In the Academy of Mualo atanoperatlo performance was present there lust evening, on the occasion of the benent of Mr. Castle, the admirable tenor of the Hlchtngs Troupe. The Bohemian Girl was the attraction of the evening, and to say that It wa splendidly performed throughout, and put upon the stage by the management In the best possible style, la only stating the simple, unadorned truth. In all our experience we have never witnessed a more complete aud satisfactory rendition Of an opera, and the enthusiasm It created Among the audience was a tribute to the artlsta as well doservod as It was un bounded. The various rolei were all mag nificently rendered, and the suocess of the principal slugers seemed to infuse lis Inspirit lag effect all around, for the chorus, and even the orchestra, wcro unusually correct and forci ble In their performances. As a consequence, the ensemble of the opera made It altogether one Of the most delightful and enjoyable represen tations of English opera we have ever had in Philadelphia; and In making this declaration, we do so without any reservation whatever. Wo cannot recall to mind, In a long experience In such matters, any combination of English artlsta that could have excelled or even . equalled the efforts of Miss Klcblngs' troupe last evening, and It In almost needless for us, to add that the fact la one In which we take no little pride. , The accomplished and indefatigable dlreo tress of the troupe, in heart aud soul Is a I'll 11a delphlan, who tukos the liveliest Interest in everything pertaining to the welfare and ad vancement of the City of Brotherly Love. The darling object of her life has been to establish an English opera troupe capable of produolng In the best style the largest repertoire of English operas; and that she has succeeded even be yond ber most sanguine expectations, the various performances of her extremely talented company In this city, New York, and through out the States, bear the amplest testimony. Their last engagement in New York was one of the most brilliant and successful ever known there; and, thus far, the present season In Philadelphia has been financially and artistically all that could have been desired. The Klohlngs Troupe, therefore, Is now estab lished on a firm and lasting foundation, aud hereafter we may count upon being treated to regular seasons from It In our noble Academy. In this connection, It might not be out of place to aay that probably the establishment of a popular tariff of prices of admission has bad something to do with the great success of the heroulean undertaking; but no matter what the cause or causes may have been, the fact is patent to every one that Miss Blcbings' troupe is an acknowledged Institution In art amongst us, and. from present appearances, will long hold togother.to delight aud improve us with its mas terly renditions of good English opera. Mr. Oastle, as we have already said, was greeted with a monster audlenoe last evening, and bia singing of the delicious muslo of his role was such at times as to create a perfect 'furore among hla delighted; listeners. Ilia "Fair Land of Poland," " When Other Llps,"and the other gems that fall to bis lot in the opera, were all exquisitely renderedand heartily encored, and his acting was almost equal to hla superb vocalization. Miss Rtohlngs' aplonded aoprano voice and matchless execution Im parted to the music of "Arllue"a grace and a beauty which invested ber efforts with the deepest interest and delight. Her singing of the various gems that so abundantly strewed ber role elicited the most hearty and enthusi astic applause, and the repetitions she was called upon to execute seemed only to whet, not satisfy, the appetite for "sweet sounds" of ber listeners. The finest rendition, decidedly, of the plain tive aria, "The Heart Bowed Down," was that of Mr. Campbell last evening, aud the deafening encore it received was every way deservedly be stowed. Throughout the whole of his part, Mr. Campbell was the true, conscientious artist, and Vila magnificent voice seemed even' In better condition than ever. His acting, too, was highly commendable, and altogether hla impersona tion was one of the most successful of the even lng. "Devilshoof" is one of Mr. Seguln's best parts, and he Infused into it last night the utmost spirit of fun and comio unction. Mrs Boudlnot, as the "Gipsy Queen," also did well and Mr. Peakes was equally successful in his character. Mr. Wylie, who performs the part of the lover so admirably in the Doctor of Al eantara, waa excellent as the foppish Count, and .Indeed the whole performance was worthy of the opera itself, and the reputation of the artists who took part in 1U production. We are glad to see that this brilliant perform ance is to be repeated thia afternoon for a matl nee; and we sincerely hope that another even lng maybe devoted to its presentation before the season closes.

The Committee of the , Legislature for the examination of claims for exempted property met this morning at 10 o'clock, In the Chamber of Heloct Couucll. The " Committee is composed of William S. Gregory, Ksq., Chairman, and Messrs. James N. Kerns, George DeHaven, W. M. WorraM, and Samuel Josephs. Mr. George W. Moore acted as Hecre- tary. The object of the Committee la to ex amine the claims of persons representing ex- . empted property in reference to said exemp tion. It Is proposed to frame an ordlnauoe that , shall prohibit all properly from being exempted from taxation from which a revenue Is derived from outside sources. Thus, t ere are churches that rent out a part of their buildings for busi ness pun oses. There are also tire companies, library companies, orders of secret societies, etc., many of which derive a revenue, more or Jess in extent, by the rental of parts of their buildings for other purposes. It Is proposed to amend the present law, so that only that part that is applied strictly for the purposes specified in tne claim for exemp tion should be so exempted, or even to do away with the whole system and make all institu tions, of whatever class, pay their ratio of taxu- Th'e Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, which wan assessed at J500O, has a rental value of gloO.OOO. The Children's Hos pital at Twenty-Heoond and Loou t streets. Is ussessed at 2o,000, and its actual value is $33,000. Bo it noes on through the list, and it Is found, in almost every case, that the assessed value Is far below what it is actuully worth, 11 put into the , market. , . I Rkmgioi'b Services.

A citizen hy the name of Head, residing In Congress street, below (Second, last evening crossed the street to spend an evening with a friend. In doing so he forgot to lock up his establishment, leaving one of the bock windows open, and the blinds also. (Soon after, the house wan entered by bur glars, they gaining easy access thereto, going into the back yard from Henate street, and thoroughly ransacked the second story, obtain ing table and munlel ornaments, a tine Spanish rocking-chair, a valuable cuno bearln? the owner's name, etc. They were undoubtedly frightened away, or they would not have over looked the first floor, on which, In the dining, room, was silver-ware to the amount of $ln0. No clue whatever hns been obtained us to who were the depredators. Drunkenness, Strfkt-Walking, and Dis orderly Conduct. The police reports ubound this morning with eases of drunkenness and disorderly conduot. Last night was undoubt edly a propitious one for such indulgence, be cause, judging from the past, thoso who are ad dicted to strong drinks finding but little com fort or excitement without, seek It within. The fact Is, that saloons and groggerles are filled to a greater extent on misty, boggy, and drizzly nights, than on pleasant ones. The regular street-walkers, however, seem, irrepressible. Last evening twelve females were arrested for being out unusually late, In the vicinity of Tenth and Chesnut streets, and this morning were held in $100 ball each to keep the peace. Stealing a Hoksk and Waoox. Godfrey Killing was, about t hree weeks ago, In the em- fdoy ol Jei miah Rhodes, contractor for cart np, etc., residing on Ninth street, above Co lumbia avenue. About three weeks ago, when the family of Rhodes were away, Killing entered the yard, took the horse from the stable, and hitching him to a new wagon, drove off, and for some time his whereabouts were unknown. A short period after, the horse and wagou were re covered at Pho-nlxvllle, and returned to their owner. Yesterday Killing was arrested on a warrant, by Oillcer Meekor, at his residence, near that of his former employer, where he had remained incog., and taken befere Alderman Fitch, who held him to answer in default of 1800 ball.

Arrest for Larceny. Mrs. Susan Gilbert, alias Lillian Gilbert, was arrested in Harris burg on Thursday last, on a warrant Issued by Alderman Beitler, charging her with stealing a lot of clothing, Jewelry, a watch, and other articles from Mrs. Mary M. Conrad, residing In Parrlsb street, in this city. The theft occurred several months ago. A short time before the rohhfirv of Mrs. Conrad the prisoner had been charged with robbing a man named Theodore F. Boyer of $60. Mrs. Gilbert had a hearing before the Mayor of Harrlsburg, and was re manded to the authorities of this city for trial. Large Fire. Yesterday morning the largj three-story stone factory of Broadbeut & Sons on Indian .creek. West Philadelphia, half a mil -above Haddington, was totally destroyed by lire. The factory building was lately occupied and known a "Carter's Old Factory." Th f .articular of the fire have not been received nasmueh as the fog was so great that the flame i could not be seen but for a very short distance. The police, therefore, did not become cognizant of the conflagration until last evening. The loss, no doubt, la quite large, as the factory was in full operation. Srspicios op Larceny. William Dougherty, aged seventeen yoars, yesterday afternoon, while passing along Second street, near Vine, stepped up to one of the many market wagons which occupy the sides of the road, and let down the lall-ooaru by tearing oil the staples. Ho then commenced to search for valuable in the sliapo of vegetables and poultry, when Officer Cribb. deeming it a suspicious circum stance, made more so by the watchfulness of Dougherty on every side, arrested him. Alder man 'Poland committed him, in default of J.jCO ball, to answer at Court. Ahuai'LT on an Officer' and Attempt to Rkscujc a Prison tcu. Yesterday afternoon Officer Fisher was conducting a prisoner to the lock-up, and wliou ut Broud aud Poplar he was beset by ono Samuel Stewart, aged thirty, who attempted to rescue the prisoner by assaulting the officer.

During onr lnyeBiitrationi in tbe treatment of dU 6 aw in Us various form by the arency of elocfrtoltr. ve have obtained rery many valuab'e and itartlinx iccts, whlcb, added to tbe prerlous though limlte4 intoruiatlon, pofsosed by other and less fortunate operators, place us beyond all prerietu knowledite ol this mjstoritus aiient. t nring the oonrae of oar practice we have treated and cured, throes:- the knowledge thus Rained, many thousands, and br meuDs of onr new discoveries bare established oar selves ss the most successful Medical Electricians la this country or Europe. Electrical Investigation has prored that tbe bnmaa body aots on the principle ot the sralranio battory. Tbe brain, mucon and serous membranes, tbetkta. tisaueo, and fluids constitute tbe negaUvs and post tive lorces, and every action, w hetber mental or pby?lcal, is the result of the.e antagonistic forces. Dieention, respliation, circulation, secretion, and excretion are dne soiely to electrical influence. There is a polar action established throughout the nervous system which connects with every part of the tioty, ebtabiuhlug aud preserving a proper balance of tho electrioalelement which constitute ' bealtb, and a disturbance of which causes disease. There are strictly but t to condition, ot disease one of inflammation, or positive ; the other weak, debilitated, negative and as eleotrioity contain tLese two conditions fn the action of the positive and negative currents, all we have to bo is to neutralize the disease and restore proper, healths; actioD, . Among the chronlo diseases in which eleotrioity baa been, and is daily being by our agenor, of tAe greatest utility, a cure being rapidly enacted alter the failure of all other means, are: 1.
