For this occasion Frou-Frou will be played for the first time in this country, and it may safely be said that it will be very well played. An extra performance of the same play will be given to-morrow evening, for the farewell of the company,who go hence to 'New York to produce it at the Thicitre Frangais. —Mr. Charles H. Jarvis announces his fifth soirée for Thursday evening next, March 31st, and will present on the occasion several no velties. A. Trio in F major (op. 80), fur piano, violin and violoncello, by Schumann, and a Sonata in D major, for piano and violoncello, are exceedingly characteristic. . .Mr. Hennig and Mr. Kopta will give fine solos 012 their re spective instruments; tne former the well known Elegie, by Bazzini, and the latter a famous composition by one of the most emi nent of the old Italian violin masters, Tartini, namely, the Trills du Diable. The soirée ;con cludes with Schumann's very poetic Piano Concerto, in A minor of 54, rendered by Mr. Jarvis. Mr. G. Guhlemann has very kindly consented to render the orchestral accompani ments on a second piano. This entertainment promises to be one of the attractive yet offered, and we therefore hope ail lovers of good music will give to it their cordial support. —Latta will appear at the Arch, to-night, in Heart's Boat. • . —At the Chestnut to-morrow evening Prof. Risley's German Bioplastio Troupe, and the Laurt Family, the wonderful pantomimists, will appear. . - -At the Walnut, this evening, Mr. Chan frau will appear in ./tit ; or, the 4trkansas Trao elt —At • Fox's American Theatre, this 'oven ing, there will he given a first-rate perform ance.

The wind one arimiting woke up from sleep, Saying now fora frolic, now fora leap, Now fur a and•cap galloping chase ! l'ilmake a commotion is every place." The wind "'woke from sleep" on Sunday morning long before Philadelphia woke from it. Philadelphia looked from its windows upon a style of weather that would have re flected credit even upon St. Patrick's day. The clouds seemed scarce higher than the tops of the steeples, while their contents were coming down as if an army -of Titans over head were wringing_ out an equal number of colossal sponges. That the Titans had cut out a full day's worlywas evident long beftite the church belLs began to ring; that Old Boreas had been in vited to share in their task was equally cer tain. The streets were nearly deserted.. The gale caught bold of umbrellas and reversed their convexity in a manner that blended the ludicrous with the embarrassing. Awning makers sat up and laughed with all the joy of an undertaker during a prevalence of malig nant mumps. Painters ofswingingsigns must have been happy. That the wind didn't " whisk in m erciless squalls Oldwomen's bonnets and gingerbread galls " was only because the old women of this era wear little bats, and don't keep their stalls " open" on Sundays. Whatever mischief it could do it certainly did. All over the city it prostrated fixed fences whose broad surface presented resistance, tested the integrity of tree-trunks, and amputated at a single sweep their defective limbs. It took off the front part of the roof of Attwood & Rank's large four-story store, No. 210 Delaware avenue, as a breeze would waft zenithwdrd the down .of a thistle. It leaves the walls standing in a condition suggestive of danger to passers-by. Where windows and doors were defective they were tested by the wind and the drench. A fence two hundred and forty-six feet long, upon premises No. 15% Spruce street, owned by Mr. Benson, was laid low, as also were the broad margins to inclo sures of Mr. Shinn, S. W. corner of Fifteenth -and Spruce streets, and another on lots on the corresponding corner of Fifteenth and Pine. About 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, the gables of two brick houses on Church street, Germantown, were blown out, and part of the walls were stricken at the same time by a disquieting collapse. Upon the maker of the mortar this reflects rather equivocal ezedit. One of the houses belonged to George 'Hetz ler; the name of the owner of the other we didn't ascertain. That the freshet in the Schuylkill was so moderate was owing to two circumstances— the short duration of the rain and the softness of the soil. At 8 o'clock this morning the water began to recede. It had attained the altitude of 49 inches above the dam. Chief Engineer Graeff gave the breast wheels at. Fairmount Water Works a furlough until to-morrow morning. The turbines are work ing ah usual. No damage has been sustained by the works. At Manayunk we found Hooded (as usual) the basements of the big factories. of Messrs. Campbell, Ripka, Wallace, Preston and Scho field. The burned child is said to fear the fire; the saturated spinner,as we very welliknow,is equally apprehensive of these freaks of the Schuylkill. Thu result is that thiw keep nothing in their basements, andlcan :Ilford to laugh at floods like that of to-day. Coining from . Manayunk down war 1 wo found no floating driftwood. As there were no indices of prolonged rain at the head- waters of the stream, and as its volume has ceased to swell, we aro Justified in isiredloting that by to•morrow morning the Schuylkill will again resume . its accustomed tranquillity. On the Delaware things were diffetent. The outgoing tide usually lowers the stream about five feet. The wind blowing against itso re• Larded its flow that it receeded but 18 inches. The wind fairly blew it into billows. As the oldest inhabitant declares the sight to have been a novelty to him, it wits, of course, to us. Gentletrien tell us that waves rolled against the bank in the vicinity of Torresdale, etc., full ten feet high. As a good deal of drift- wood is coming down the turbid current, we infer that over the country at the head waters of the noble stream the clouds must have been heavily surcharged. The only material damage done in this vi cinity was at Dock and Race street wharves. From Watson's wharf the rising waters took away ten tons of chalk. Whether this will most affect the trade in milk or the manufao turers of soda water, our reporter doesn't yet know. The current took from her moorings the schooner Julia Weeks, owned by St. George Matthews. It buffeted her as far as Kaighn's Point, and there sunk her. Several cansl boats were similarly served. From the deck of the steam tug America the wind whisked a cord of wood, and blew it all over the water like the contents of a box of matches. ....Moyerbeer ...:..V(ieniarski Mendelssebn Ritter While exulting in a fat item, our reporter is glad to-record that the above are all the note worthy results of the freshet in this vicinity. To the Schuylkill Navigation Company no harm was done. That we get no information from the line of the North Pennsylvania Rail road Company was because the lines of that enterprising corporation had been disturbed by the storm. As we write this the sun is winking at us through the clouds for the first time since he went to bed on Saturday night. Moudt se ohn Flotow .;::.Mojirbe.r LOCAL CHOWDEIL—The day for building wire-bridges is past and gone. In wintertime they are so affected by frost that a structure that one day endures the burden of a load of elephants may next day succumb to no other pressure than that of an organ-grinder and his monkey. The builder of the Callowhill street wire-bridge was Mr. Elliott. He was killed in the blockading of Mobile. Before going to the army he notified Councils that he wouldn't longer be responsible for its safety. 'We crossed the bridge this morning. When midway across it a car that had stopped upon it resumed motion. What was previously a serious tremor now became an alarming sway. A lady sitting opposite to us said that the sen sation produced by4t.npon her was akin to sea-sickness. People unaccustomed to cross ing this frail contrivance, we think, have little idea of the immediate necessity existinglor its repair. We saw an African drayman this morning who could speak nothing but English broken by Hollandish. He was raised in Guiana. The manner his big lips fractured the back bone of his gutturals was at least odd. The - /11 7 6.i:17\ -- MIVIEWI7I7IIIrirg wo cv lux Laciutt ' spoken by an Irishman who, learned ,the lan guage from a native of Wales. One of the proposed improvements to the new park is a river drive. With three freshets a vear,that drivels likely to be an un inviting affair. During the drought of last summer Mr. Bil lington, of the 'Fifteenth Ward, got his back up. He became impressed with the idea that Chief Greed' was giving to other sections of the city a portion of the water that ought to be given to the Fifteenth Ward. Other gen tlemen elevated their backs on the same sub ject. They called a meeting, passed resolu tions against the Schuylkill for allowing the catfish to swim with their backs above water, and appointed a committee to interview Mr. Graelf. Mr. Graeff listened to them with Chesterfieldian politeness. With a shingle and a piece of chalk he demonstrated to them the uselessness of attributing to the laziness of his turbines;what Was nothing else than a fit of, stinginess on the part of Jupiter Pluvius. _ This time the complaint is more general. Doctor Burnell and Mr. Thomas W. Price for once agree that the courts should be applied to for a mandamus to conipel the city to supply the Fifteenth Ward with water. Other gentlemen coincide in that view. For this reason, on Saturday night they held a meeting at Twentieth and West streets, at which Mr. Edwin Booth presided, and Ron. -Wm. H. Renible did duty as Secretary. To "inter view" Mr. Graeff they appointed a committee. It was made up of T. W. Price, Wm. P. Chandler, Charles D. Supplee, A. W. Rand and James Dougherty. This morning Dr. humid] entered the office to notify Mr. Graeff that the "interviewing" would be begun at 12 o'clock. Mr. Price en -tered immediately afterwards for the same purpose. Thegentlemen eyed each other with sidelooks of intense dislike. The Chief smiled benignly upon both. Hi expresied himself happy at the prospect of being . " inter viewed." As all great men are "interviewed,' he began to think that he hadn't previously been great. That he now was so tie thinks has added a full inch to the circumference of the upper part of his vest. Be told the gentlemen that though he was the Chief of the Water-Department, he wasn't a " main," and that in thedistribution of water he showed no more partiality than the clouds showed in the distribution of theirs. The in terview was of course private. A HANDSOMN CAn.—The Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, under the energetic management of Mr. W. S. Wil son, the General Superintendent, has been greatly improVed. The road bed has been almost entirely relaid and roballasted, new station-bouses have been built, and the rolling stock has undergone many changes. Shops for the complete-construction -of- passenger cars have been established. The fourth car built in these shops was placed on the road to day, and is attached to the Germantown trains. It is a very handsome affair, and was built under the superintendence of Nathan Pawling, Master Carpenter, upon his own de signs. lt is a " palace car" with Various im provements. It has a raised roof, the ceiling Nail head-lines being.elegantly frescoed. The painting and polishinhas been very neatly done by Christian Moore, the Company's painter. The seats" are comfortable, the ven tilation good, and the car is supplied with two of Spears improved car stoves. The cost of the car was about 56,000. A similar car is under way and will be completed - within a few weeks. As rapidly as they can be made these new cars are to take the places of the old fashioned and uncomfortable care which have been in use for so many years. Moen ADO ABOUT NOTHING.—Last evening some of the residents on Fifth street, above Race, observed what appeared to be two men on the.roof of a house on the opposite side of the street. An alarm was raised and a crowd soon gathered. Several Individuals rushed to the Fourth District Police Station and brought back a squad of _policemen, The cause of all this trouble and excitement appeared to be perfectly unconcerned in regard to what was going on in the street below. About this time Chief John Kelly and Officer Lukens, of. the Detective Force, were passing up Fifth street. They . saw the crowd and rushed in. A few inquiries satisfied theui as to what was the matter, and they saw what the assemblage lad been viewing for some time. Mr. Kelly mounted the steps of the house and rang the door-bell. He and Mr. Lukens were admitted and went up stairs. After groping about the loft, in dust and dirt, they found the trap-door and in a few seconds were on the roof. Then it was discovered that the "men" who had caused all of the alarm were nothing more than the shadow of two chimney tiles. A candle was produced, and, by moving itabout, the people in the street were made aware that their impression of a daring flight of thieves across the roofs of houses was all an illusion. CHILD OUTRADE.—A little girl named Lowry, residing on Leon street, in the neigh borhood of Tenth and Washington stroets,was found in an insensible condition on a stall in the market-house, Eleventh street, below Shippen, last evening. She was carried into a drug store, at Eleventh and Carpenter streets, and was subsequently taken home. A physi cian who was summoned made an examina tion, and declared that the child had been brutally assaulted. After she had been restored 'to sensibility she, stated that a marl Sent her fez gin and then compelled her to swallow a considerably quantity of it. She had been absent from home since 4 o'clock on Saturday at ternoon, and her disappearance bad been telegraphed to the different police stations. , .

Rumnsolman statw that he 'had been in company with Riokettn,r and they went into the saloon and had , throe glasses of beer. He then wanted to go out, but Ricketts took hold of him to make him remain, saying that he had enough money to pay for all of the beer which they could drink. Rummelnaan Rof away and went out. Hs was followed by icketts, who kicked him and then stabbed him. The.knife with which the wound was inflicted was an ordinary pocket one. It was found early yesterday morning, at Third and Shippen streets, by a Second District police man. A RODDRELY AND A CuAsm—This moraine', about one o'clock, the liquor and tobacco store of Borradaile Bros., No. 214 South Delaware avenue, Was entered by forcing open a window. Property valued at about $2OO was stolen. Sergeant Frank Fox, of the Third Disir ct Police, discovered the thieves. They ran, and were pursued by the Sergeant, who tired two shots at them withobt effect. ' The robbers got on to Water street, and succeeded in escaping by slipping into one of the alleys in that neigh borhood. CUT kiss WIFE.—A man named Robert Al len, residing at 1801 South street, went to the First District Police Station, and stated that he had cut the throat of his wife. Re was taken in charge by Policeman Riggs, and then an officer was despatched to see about the con dition of Mrs. Allen. It was ascertained that she had been beaten, and' cut across the abdo men. The wound was severe and painful, but not dangerous. Alderman Dallas heard the case, and sent Allen to prison to await a fur therhearing. ALL WORK AND NO PAY.—This morning, about four o'clock, the residence of Charles Fox, at Whitehall, Twenty-third Ward, was entered' by pryin open the kitchen window. g Before the thief had obtained anything ho was frightened of} by some of the members of the family. Policeman Dewees, of the Fif teenth District,saw the man running from the house, and chased him into Bridesburg. There the fugitive succeeded in eluding his pursuer. ATTEMPTED Ronnant.—An attempt was made to enter the hotel and dwelling of Mrs. Decker, N. E. corner of Gray's Ferry road and Washington avenue, about one o'clock yester day morning. The thief placed a ladder to the second story window, but as he was about to get in be stumbled and made a noise. This aroused M rs. Decker, she yelled, and the fel low hurried down the ladder and ran away. MOLTED FROM DROWNING—On Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock, a resident of West Philadelpha tumbled into the Dela- out by the Delaware Harbor Police. When rescued be was almost exhausted, and it re• quired about a half hour's hard work to re suscitate bim. TELEGRAMP.ox BROKICN.—The fire-alarm box at Twenty-second and Market streets was broken open about half-past nine o'clock last evening. The door was slit across the centre with an axe. No alarm was struck, however. It should be remembered that the penalty for tampering with telegraph boxes is very severe. A COAT THIEF—A fellow who glve his name as John Smith was arrested last night for going into the entry of the Union Club- House, on Twelfth street, below Walnut, and making love to several overcoats which were banging there. He will have a hearing at the Central Station this afternoon. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.—Thomas Leo, aged 18 years, y'esterday amused himself by throw ing bricks and stones at the doors of houses on Jefferson street, in Germantown. ' He was arrested, and Alderman Thomas placed him under sB€O bail for malicious mischief. DinTY.—The Second street market sheds are in a very dirty condition, those between Brown and Poplar streets being particularly filthy. A first-class dose of water wouldn't do the least harm. DEATH IN A POLICE STATlON.—Bridget Gillen, aged 70 years, a lodger in the Second District Police Station, was found dead in the cell this morning.
