known musical gems, has sent us a copy of
his latest composition, a song for two voices,

The Old Canal Sewer—Another Cave In.
Several. days since we published an ac
connt of the caving in of the sewer at the
foot of Try street, where it passes over the
bed of the outlet of the old Pennsylvania
Canal, which was caused by the burning
cinders of which the ground is . formed
over the sewer. Since our first account
there has 'been no perceptible change in
the appearance of the place until Wednes
day, about two o'clock, when, owing proba
lily to the heavy rains which have fallen
'during the week, soaking the ground
thoroughly, another fall of earth occurred
at the same point, increasing the size of
the hole previously spoken of to nearly
double its former size. The break is at the
upper end of the old stone ;arch er bridge
-which was erected over the mouth of the
outlet to the canal, and which is now fully
twenty feet below the surface of the ground,
and it extends ;up the sewer to where
it passes under the, stone wall which_
runs out from the pier or abutment of
the railroad bridge. The first break
in the sewer, we learn, was immediately
under the wall, and was doubtless caused
by the weight of the wall, aided to a great
extent•by the burning cinders, which forms
the fill over the sewer. The ground over
which the • railroad track .passes at that
point where it crosses the sewer, or where
the first break was discovered, hasl sunken
about four feet, and in order to allow the
trains to pass over it the track is kept up
ti the level by placing blocks under it.
The wall, although having settled down at
that point, appears to be solid, and trains
continue to pass over it as usual. The
Railroad Company has a force of twenty
men at work cleaning out the sewer below,
in order to let the water pass through with
out interruption, and we learn that as soon
1 as this is effected, the wall extending from
the bridge will be torn down, and the
ground, which is composed of ashes and
I erode. s from the mills to a depth of thirty
or forty feet, will be removed and the wall
re-built upon a solid foundation. This is
the only practical way of remedying the
difficulty, and we are only surprised at the
folly of those who constructed the wall in
the first place at erecting so heavy a struc
ture en s:. frail a foundation.
Thq caving in has not in , erfored with the
Connellsville Railroad, further th .n to
break the connection with the extensive
coal yard between the J 'Main track - and
Greenough street, and it is not likely. to,
as the old canal arch or bridge, which
stands as limn as when it was originally
erected, passes limier all the tracks of that
road.
The work of reconstruction is going to bo
a heavy and tedious as well as expensive
one, and if we mistake not, tho burning
cinders in that locality arc going to he the
eause of a vast deal of trouble before Lilo
fire is/extinguished! :Nearly all the in; ilil
ings below Second street, from that point
for a.considerald-distatwe up the river, are
built on eron id made of that material, and
the extent of the fire or when it will end
cannot be asceriained.

Oemck llonsii.—Last evening, in spite of
the inclemency of the tv(!ather, there as
sembled at the Opera Rouse "quite a largo
and fashionable audience, and one Which
seemed to show that the people have not
yet had a surfeit of the ballet. The White
Fawn was rendered niitu line effect,
marked improvement being 'observable in
the ballet as well as the reading portions of ,
the playa This was to h tve been expected,
however, as a play depending for its suc
ces's eidirely on scenic ellect requires time
and practice before everything wilt work
,inoothly and satis:actorily. The ballet
performers appeared to he specially inspired
last night, and interpreted the poetry of
motion in at manner which drew forth ,
the heartiest plaudits and cricares of the
audience. ilktorbv.chi sustained herself
nobly—and with grac3 and ease executed
marvellously well the most difficult pos
turing and motions po-sible in the art terp
sichoro. She blends all the fine arts in the
one. She has adopted and inaugurates a

That yVouderful Burdett.
The greatest success of the age, musi
cally speaking, is the famous Burdett Organ.
i` lt has taken the public heart by storm as
it were. Once beard, it can never be for
gotten. The sweetest elThets of the human
voice, the pathetic tones of the violin, and
the brilliant strains of a full band are pro
duced upon the Burdett with wonderful
truthfulness and by the simplest means.
The person who will purchase an organ
, without having heard-the "Burdett," will
deprive himself of a delicious musical treat.
The manufacturers are at this moment some
three hundred organs behihd their orders, as a
letter to the sole Pittsburgh agents, Messrs.
Kleber A: Bro., shows. The difficulty is
not so mum to sell them, as to get a suf
ficient supply for the demand. If you
want to hear the music, which is the very
next thing to thfa human voice, call at Kle
ber's and get him to play a tune on the
Burdett for you. .
