AM U S K M ENTS. ' The Theatres. —At the Walnut this evening Mr. and Mrs. Baraev Williams will appo'. l "^ 1 . drama The Shamrock; or a Flower of An . a t.r vhlrh I\ force entitled The Lateit from JNco 1 on. At tho Chestnut tho Mikado Japanese ■will appear in a series of acrobato feats. Under rte©S?S£Vm be given.to-night at the Arch. Tho American oilers a varied bill. The Mikado Japanese —A company 01 Jaoancsc jugglers odd acrobats bcjtriug tins title, inAde their first appearanco at tho Chestnut Street Theatre last evening. The troupe is a sew one, with tho single exception of the young man who delivers the intensely interesting ex planatory lecture, emphasizing it by cracking two sticks together. This garrulous pagan was ihe man who appeared with the Maguiro troupe. The feats performed by the gymnasts are pre cisely thoso that wo have seen before, ino sword-ladder, tho ladder-balancing, the top opinning, the tub feat, tho slack-rope walking, and the tumbling, do no not dllfer In any respect from the exhibitions civen last year by the Japanese who appeared in die Academy. But they are not the less mar yelwus, and ore'well worth seeing, even if famili arity has roltbed them of their intensoßt interest. We may state that the native orchestra has made a valuable acquisition in tho shapeofnn unattrac tive heathen who imagines that he ean play upon the life. His range upon the instrument Is con fined to precisely three semitones, and while the music is consequently not precisely delicious, or calculated to exercise any soothing influence ■upon the savage or civilized heart, it is neverthe less novel and amusing. The Grand Duchess.— On Tuesday, the 11th inet., Mri Bateman’s French Opera Company will appear at the Academy of Music in Olfen hach’b comic opera Grand JJttchvss of Gerolstein. The wonderful popularity which this opera has obtained in this country and in Europe, is a. guarantee that it will tie immensely successful in Philadelphia. It will be well for every one. ovon those who are conversant with tho French lan guage, to purchase a libretto and become ac quainted with the plot beforehand. We will not undertake to sketch the Btory at length, but these are the outlines of it: The “Grand Duchess of Gerolstein,” having lier own way in the province, and making her prime minister, “Pncfe,” minister primarily to her humors, is sought in marriage by “Paul,” tho eon of a neighboring potentate, but as this suitor i 6 soft of head as well as heart, she only pesters and plays with him, and perpetually postpones any interview with his Mentor apd his father’s diplomate, “Baron Grog.” Tho “Duchess" af fects a military fashion, and visiting the camp of her pet regiment, she falls persistently in love with a common soldier, “Fritz;” him she straightway makes general-in-chief, deposing the prior commandant, “General Bourn,” and would marry him into tho bargain, but that he is obsti nately set upon a rustle sweetheart, “Wanda.” The drift of the action is naturally toward the deposition of "Fritz,” his union with “Wanda,” the restoration of “Bourn,” the alliance of the “Dnchess” and “Prince Paul.” and a general '‘living happy ever afterward” of all the dramatis persona'. Eleventh Street Opera House.— Messrs. Carncross & Dixey announce for this evening an cntirelv Pew burlesque, entitled Ours; or Maxi— inwall's Avengers. The piece has real merit. It is filled with comical situations, sharp local hits, tunny incidents and keen satire. In addition to this, Mr. <J. L. Carncross will sing several favorite ballads, and there will be local and instrumental music, Ethiopcan delineations, dancing, &c., by the members of the company. Piiiladeltiiia Opera House. —The laugh able burlesque, The Flack hook, Will he given at this popular establishment to-night, with all the accessories of handsome scenery, eccentric cos tumes and a first-rate cast. This drama is well •worth seeing. Besides this there will be a miscel laneous entertainment, in which the members of the very excellent company will participate. Mr. Frank Moran will give some of his most amusing negro personations, there, will besing ing, dancing, instrumental music, and a pleasant variety of farce, extravaganza and burlesque. The enteitainment at this house is a good one in every respect. Concert Hale.— “ Father Baldwin’s Old Folks” will given performance at Concert Hall this even ing. This troupe consists of twenty-four artists who attire themselves in ancient costume and sing old time music, consisting chiefly of selections of sacred music. Several of the per formers possess great ability, the boy soprano especially having a voice -of great power and compass. Parlor Concert and Readings. This evening there will be a select entertainment at the Hall of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion. A number of well known and popular ar tists will eiDg, and Mr. Rnfus Adams, the elocu tionist will read several selections from popular authors. Boip.ee Gymnast'iqde.— The pupils of Lowifl’s Gymnasium will give an exhibition this evening, at the Academy of Music. Bi.itz. —Signor Blitz will give an exhibition in Athletic Hall, Thirteenth and Jeflerson streets, this evening. oootf Advice from a Southern Organ* £ From the ltichmond Enquirer and Examiner of Feb. 1.1 CULTIVATE Tint SOIL Gloomy as are the prospects of all the depart- i ments of Southern industry, agriculture still . offers to every Virginian more assured prospects of fair returns lor labor employed and capital ’ expended than anything else. While our farmers may not since the close of the war have realized large profits, yet their losse? have been insignifi , cant as compared with those of the planters of the Cotton States. In viewing the wliole'field of enterprise and en ergy in 186$, we can find nothin" half as attrac tive as the cultivation of the Old Dominion. In her broad and fertile fields there is ample room for the thousands who are doing absolutely noth ing in the over-crowded professions and trades. Medicine and law were never less remunerative in cash receipts than now, and oar merchants have for months boon selling under the depressing influence' of a fall ing The great and increasing scarcity of moneyhas paralyzed the builder and the merchant, and" until tfic agriculture ortho State revives, there can be no real prosperity. The ranks of those who are engaged in agricul ture are not, like those of law, medicine and com merce, crowded to excess, for there is most' am ple room for thousands of industrious and intel ligent farmers. And there is not .one young Vir ginian in fifty who during the last three years has sought employment either in Balti more or New York-who would not have prospered far more as a tiller of the soil in his native State. How few of the young men in question hove laid the foundations of permanent BUCcesß in either of the cities to which they so eagerly flocked in 1865-66! And alas! how many, after contracting habits and tastes utterly at variance with thoso of their youth, have in consequence of the stringency of the times, been cast adrift without hope of future employment! Although . the present, like the two past years, has not opened auspiciously for the. farmer, still there is yet ample time for the suc cessful cultivation of the leading crops of this State. Many a Virginia soldier, who surrendered with General L<Se at Appomattox Court House in April, 1865, with the aid of a broken down cavalry horse or a galled and broken-winded mule, "managed to make a good crop of corn. And we cannot recall a single instance of a youtfg man of industry and energy, who engaged in agricultural pnrsuits in Virginia after the war, vrtio has not done better than had lie gone behind a counter to measure calico and tape, or enrolled himself in those unhappy armies of martyrs, who announce to a heedless public their willingness to practice law and medicine. We sincerely hope that during the next two months every young man In Virginia who dboß not see his way clearly to a support In commerce or the professions, will try his hand at farming. Half of the best land in Virginia is lying idle for want of hands to till it, and however unpropi tious the season may prove, the cultivation of corn, wheat, oats and tobacco is sure to yield a support to the industrious laborer. We do not mean that an incurably lazy white man, whose “farming" consists iii hiring a worthless negro or two,whom he overlooks by sitting on a stump with an umbrella, ovor his head, is likely to suc ceed. God forbid that such a cumberer of the earth should demoralize the yonth of the South by succeeding at anything—for his example would be a bad one. But, looking to the cheapness of lands in Vir ginia,and to ,their fertility, and the great ease with which they are cultivated, and to their ac cessibility to the very best markets for grain, tho industrious fanner Is sure to do hotter for the intent than the struggling merchant or the on- employed professional man.... Tkcro qaube no real prosperity in Virginia as long os agriculture languishes. _ _ CITY BUIMTm.

The funeral procession left the late residence of flic deceased shortly after ten o’olqck, and pro ceeded to the synagogue, in Franklin street, above Gicen, in which Mr. Leeser had officiated. There a circuit was made around the Synagogue with the body, according to the ancient Jewish custom upon the death of a minister. The remains were then conveyed to the Jewish Cemetery, 'in Wesf Philadelphia, where the pre scribed services of the church were conducted by Rev. Messrs. Morals and Percyra. .Kirks.— Last night, shortly after 11 o’clock, an alarm of Are was caused by an indiscreet police- man pulling a telegraph box upon seeing smoke issue from the Church on Vlidsler street, near Sixth. The firemen proceeded to the scene, but it was discovered that the smoke was only occa sioned by kindling a firo in the heater. Wbis morning, about two o’clock, a fire broke <mt in a frame dwelling, NO. 222 Wyoming street, in the First Ward, owned and occupied by Mrs. Smith, a colored woman. The structure and its contents were entirely destroyed. Loss about $5OO. No insurance. The flames origin ated from tho stove. About half-past four o'clock this morning Preston Powell’s hot-house,at Third and Dicker son streets, was slightly damaged by fire. The burning of a bed and btdstead in a house, No. 61 Si Barclay street, gave riso to an alarm of fire about five o’clock this morniDg. A Co.mjiendaiilk Act.—A Government Bond for $5,000 was found yesterday afternoon by a poor man named Tait, who was formerly in the employ of Mr. Wm.

The new constitution provides that no bitsHJCss except the election of members and tho collection of dues sbail bo transacted at the semi-monthly meetings, and they are to be devoted to literary purposes. There will no doubt be an 'interesting debate among the mem bers to-morrow afternoon. -A n Le-Cuiter -Fight A couple of ice-cuttcrs engaged upon the Schuylkill, abovo Fairmount Dam, got into a dispute in regard to their re spective rights, one accusing the other of en croaching on his ice. Finally, one struck the other and a fight ensued. The police interfered and arrested Lewis Sctzcl. Ho was taken before Alderman Massey, and was held to bail on the charges of riot, and assault and battery. BomiKD.—John K. Crathunul, from New Jer sey, was enticed into a house in Green’s court, near Seventh and St. Mary streets last night, and was relieved of his overcoat, watch and $2O in money.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLEITN;—PDILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1868, fIR.nVTFL ffITSTEBIOUS AFEAIB IN PIT' BVBul. Hold Attempt at Itobbory or ITlitrilor-;? Xlio Parties Arrested. [From' the Pittsburgh Commercial of Fob. ffl.] x/ On Saturday morning, about J. L. Linton, a special detective in the eufufoy oi tlie United States licvonue DopartmentJffho Is at present in attendance at the United Slates Dis trict Court in this city, was awakened by. a noise in his room, at the Monongalieln House, and dis covered a man in the apartment unlocking the door. The Major sprang from his bed, seised the intruder by the throat, and drew his revolver, but was in too close quarters to use it. The burglar also drew a knife, and in the scuilie inflicted a se vere wound on the fleshy part of the Major’s hand, lie then lied from the room, when Major Liutou cave the alarm and’ the police were scut for. Mayor McCarthy and officer Joseph Busha an swered the summons, and after a consultation arrested two young men occupying a room im mediately across the hall from the Major's apartment. They gave their names as Thomas Patterson and George Curtis, and stated that they resided in Albany, New York. Major Linton identified Patterson as the party who had entered his room, after whieh they were conveyed to the lock-up. In the afternoon they had a hearing before Mayor Blnekmorc, Major Linton having in the meantime made an information against them for felonious assault and battery. The Major stated that, in his opinion, the object of the prisoners was to get him ont of the way, in order to pre vent him from appearing before the U. S. Court as a witness in an important case under the reve nue laws which he had worked up, and which involves over one hundred thousand dollars in fines and forfeitures. He supposes the men fol lowed him from New York, and that Patterson effected an entrance into his room by climbing through the transom abovo the door. Mr. Aaron Steinwich, bar-keeper at the Mo nongahcla House, testified that at the time the alarm was given ho saw Patterson attempt to escape from the house, and when intercepted by one of the porters, struck at him until the witness came to his aid. Mr. Cros sen testified that the young men occupied a room near the Major’s, and other facts as to their pre sence in the hotel. Detective Jones, of hicw York, recognized Curtis as a young man whom ho had frequently seen at a gambling house on Broadway, New’ York, a place of resort for thieves and burglars. The Mayor then commit ted the prisoners to jail, in default of bail, for trial at Court. While in the lock-up Patterson admitted to a tnembor of the police that he had entered the Major’s room. The prisoners are about twenty five years of age, and are respectably dressed. DEFALCATION IN PITTSIICKKH. A Sowing Machine Agent Absconds. [From the Pittsburgh Dispatch of Feb. 3d.] . A. F. Chatouey, the proprietor of a sewing machine depot on Fifth street, above Smithfleld, bus been missing from this neighporhood for some days, and, ii the allegations made against him bo true, be will scarcely return unless it be in the custody of an officer of the law. Mr, Chatonev was an agent for the sale of the Gro ver & Baker 6ewing machine in this city, and for some time did a pretty extensive business. He had his machines sent on from Philadel phia and was accustomed to pay for them with certain notes which apparently boro the endorse ment of different merchants of good standing in this city. With this seeming evidence of their worth the papers were always regarded as good by the General State-Agent in Philadelphia, who deposited them at his banking house. A short timo since, however, the Philadelphian came to realizo that he had been vic- timized by Mr. Chatonoy, and to the lively tune of some nine or ten thousand dollars. He made the discovery in this wise: A few days ago a party called at the Third National Bank of this city and there pre sented a promissory note endorsed by Mr. J. F, Havekotte, merchant tailor. It was at once dis counted and almost immediately Mr. Havekotte came to hear of it. He examined the paper and at once pronounced it a forgery. Oh inquiry it was thcD ascertained that it had been sent on from Philadelphia, whither Mr. Ohatoney had previously transmitted it in payment for his machines. On further investigation it was ascertained that other forgeries had been perpetrated and that tho signatures of a number of our business men were freely used by Mr. C., who, glad to es cape from the web ot bis own weaving,fled when he heard of the discovery. Tho company, it is said, will suffer a loss of some nine or ten thou sand dollars. Our readers will remember that the alleged delinquent brought Bnit against a number of his snb-agents some time since for al leged heavy defalcations. Love and Murder In North Carolina. [From tho Old North State, Jan. 28.1 One of the most thrilling trials that ever took place in the State is now in progress at States ville. Thomas Dula, a young man about twenty five rears cf age, is being tried before his honor Judge Shipp, in the Superior Court of Iredell county, for the murder of Miss Laura Foster, • and Ann Melton is arraigned as accessory. It appears from tho evidence that in May, 1866, Laura Foster arose from her bed in her father's houso about an hour before day, “and, taking her father’s horse, which was tied this night near tho door, traveled, some few milt'B on a road to a place to which the horse was tracked, and near which her body was sub sequently found in the woods. Dula and Mrs. Melton were absent from their homed, the night on which Laura Foster left her father’s, and were seen next mornimr in the neighborhood of tho place, where the body of Laura Foster was found buried. It is charged that Mrs. Melton was jealous of the attentions paid Laura Foster by Dula, and therefore aided and abetted in the murder. Tho incidents, as developed before the jury, are of the most thrilling character, and the Court House is crowded with an eager multitude who listen with breathless attention to the evidence. Governor Vance, with one or two others, is assigned for the prisoners, and J. M. Clement, of Davie; Dr. Boyden, of this city, and Mr. Solicitor Caldwell will prosecute on the part of tho State. Ann Melton is about 24 years of age, and quite a neat and interesting person in her appearance. The evidence as far as given in, we' hear, is altogether circumstantial. The prisoners bear themselves very calmly and appear to take great interest in the proceedings, /frequently rising to suggest inquiries and to prqmpt theta cou nsfel. The trial commenced on Tuesday,; and? on Wednesday afternoon, when the court-opened, not more than one-fourth of the witnesses had been examined. We learn that there are about ninety witnesses in the case. ' CITY NOTICES. We have discovered a plan for having cheap theatricals.
