J Georgie Charters who assisted the “ Y’s” in their recent entertainment Was greatly diaapointed to' find the piauo in the Opera House was so much out o f tune, aud she waBunable to execute anyo f her difficult pieces, such as the Danube Waltzes, Kiss Waltz and many other difficult selec­ tions, in which Her warbling and trill log are unparelled.

A F a icm A letter received from Alabama ; gives pretty full particulars o f the troubles at Catharine Station, that State, which resulted in W o . Bruce, a quiet, peaceable young man from Xenia, who was engaged in bumness at the Station, being obliged to leave, for no other reasons than that he was from the North, and that his competi­ tor in business in the place was Southerner. It seems that on Satur­ dayafternoon, December 27, Bruce was told that a crowd o fdrunken men were in Wooten** store, next door to the Henderson A Bruce store, and were coming down to pick a fuss with him. Npt paying any attention* to the waiting, he want « t with hk bus, fata*, .About two bouts ufterwatds. white standing behind the'counter, a drunks# orowed o f firs msacame in; oM with a drawn knife iik his hand cttatbshiud the counter and attacked Brito*, w it pfefcftl up * gun **d itoaekthsMlowWith it.

Bruce, who is a slight-built1hatl‘C(l still existing in some parts o f fellow and not overstrung, though the South against any people from the .1 nervy, and thecrowd, was finally dis­ persed* That nightyoung Bruce was joined at Catharine Station by his cousin, Bruce-Beveridge, also from Xenia and also a slight-built young fellow o f about nineteen years of age. The two had no trouble that* night, but Sabbath morning, when eating breakfkst in a building a; little dist­ ance from thb store they sawtwo men armedwith Winchester rifles, come out of the Wooten store, and one Walked on past the Henderson A Bruce store, the intention evidently being to get the two Northern boys between two fires and cat themoft*from their < own storewhen they approached it, But instead o f going back to the store at once thetwo young men went to the depot, and the two men with winches-, ters, not knowing where the boyswere, going returned to the Wooten store, when Bruce and Beveridge started to return. They were stopped and told that William Bruce nutst make some explanation to the.crowd for his con­ duct o f the day before. He told the man'who accosted him that he had no explanation to offer, hut he thought an explanation was duehim. At this point a man stepped out o f the store and opened fire ou the boys at once with his rifle. The two then drew revolvers and answered the fire, re­ treating from the crowd that was as­ sembling to their store, Twelve shots in allwcre fired. On Tuesday morning the committee waited ou Bruce, and that night he deemed it prudent to take his depart tore. ‘ The same day another committee of twenty-five went toGranvilleBennett, thecoloredpostmaster, and withdrawn revolvers compelled him to sign his resignation and drove him from the office. He then refused to touch the mail hags, andnow everytrain throws off# pouch and they lay piled Upon the platform, no ’persons having au­ thority to touch them. Fortunately no person was serfon*- ly injured during the trouble.
