The Spanish, epera ot the lighter type is a musical drama in the true sense, being generally serious, with a tendency to the spectacular, and relieved by a eomio tenor.

The action is usually exciting, and the ballet plays a conspicuous parU The music, both orchestral and eoaL has often a tendency to extreme elaboration, vying sometimes with the grand opera, both Meyerbeer and Rossini occasionally serving as models. A peculiar feature of the Spanish musical stage, and not an agreeable one, la the artificial and conventional method of acting, copied from Italian precedents They set the stage magnificently in the spectacular pieces, whie the ballet is exceptionally good.

Terrible Tragedy. ONE MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER WOUNDED, i On Saturday evening last, the 29th day of September, our community was thrown into tne most intense excitement, on ac connt of a difficulty occurring between the Sheriff, A. J.

Whittington, and Eugene Mc Elwee, in which Mr. Whittington was se verely cut with a pocKet kniie. xne wound. thouab painful, we are glad to learn, is not dangerous, and the sheriff was on the streets on Thursday last. We do not know the ori gin of the difficulty, but understand that an old grudge existed between the parties, but truth compels as to say that Sheriff Whit tlngton.

at the time of tbe occurrence. was unaer tne innaence ox uquor. Had Eugene McElwee been promptly arrested. ne should have been, the matter in all; numan prouauuHj wooiu nave inere enaea. But the delay in McKl wee's arrest eaused some oi tne relatives or whittington to pur eae McElwee (who had left the place where the fight occurred, in which whittington was stabbed) to the back yard of the store of Robinson A Barney, where the parties overtook mm, ana at once assailed him by Arst throwing brick bats at him, which was oiucxiy louovea oy tne aiseaarge oi pistol.

That intemperance was tne cause ot tnis saa an air tnere can be bat little doubt. Had all the parties concerned In this fearful tragedy been free from intoxication it prob ably would not have occurred. Whisky niaddened and abstracted the brain and caused men to do acts that a lifetime of regrets cannot repair. May we not ask, in all seriousness, who is responsible for the state of things of which we write And may we not, in the name of all that makes for the good of society, urge upon those who are Intrusted with the execution of the laws a renewed effort upon their part to prevent the repetition of such scenes as the one referred to in this brief article The whole matter will undergo judicial investigation and the actors brought to the front, each to answer for himself, according to the part he has taken in this sad affair.
