A(iNIX WALLAC'li COMIUNATIOS. The indications are that the Agnes Wallace combination will have a fine audience at the (Jrand Opera House Monday night. The company isa large one, and comes to us highly endorsed by the press wherever they have appeared. They carry a -fine band and orchestra, and will give a street parade each day. The sale of seats begins this morning at Higgins' thug store, on Frederic street.

The Indianapolis Journal, speaking of the appearance of the troupe in that city, say-: "This org-mlz 'tion enter-tainnieni last eve We nio uilly favored by the arrival of eminent r. isls, but they are almost Invariably so weakly supported as to make the play, as a whole, insipid in the extreme. Hut in this combination each member is an actor, and the presence of the star performer is not needed to keep np the interest of the play. Agnes Wallace and Sam. H.

Jas. N. Kendall to Applcgate Riley, one acre of ground, distillery, warehouse for $2804. A howling mob of Republicans on last Tuesday night at midnight and afterwards during the night, invaded the premises of W. J.

Lucas, and disturbed the peace of himself and family in the most outrageous manner. They abused him recklessly, using most violent, profane ami insulting language. Their attack was unprovoked and unpardonable. He did not know the guilty individuals, but supposed that they were all black black at heart at any rate. There seems therefore no means of redress, and at the time he had no means of defence.

If the home of it law-abiding citizen can be protected from such malicious attacks as this in no other way, who could wonder at a resort to the defensive shotgun. A church social will be given at the resilience of Thomas Frayser this evening for the benefit of the Methodist Church. It will bea most occasion with every feature that can make such affairs attractive. The attendance should lie immense. ami doubtless will be in view of the merit of the cause, the prospect of good company, and the hospitality of the host- ltld hostess.

To the wife of Mr. Theodore Mitchell, on the lSth a nine- pound boy Fkakkijn Edward. Dr. John E. Moore and Wife Give the Y.

M. 0. of Bowling Green, a Handsome Building. Everybody in Owensboro knows Dr. John It.

Moore and his estimable wife from a long residence here. About three years ago they moved to Bowling Green, and have resided there ever since. List week the Y. M. C.

Association as in session in that city, and Dr. and Mrs. Moore appreciating its advantages to the youth of the land decided to make a donation to the branch association in Bowling (Jreen that would put it a firm basis. A correspondent of the Louisville Poxt furnishes the following information concerning the gift arid the manner in which it was received "The talk of the town is the Y. M.

C. and the sensation of the day is the magnificent gift to the association by Dr. John Moore and wife, of this city. Out of their munificence and benevolence, these good persons have presented the association the building known as the "Moore Block," and valued at alniut $12,000. The house is one of the finest selections that could have been made for the use of the association.

It has more than half-a-dozen large, airy rooms, is well ventilated and has every modern convenience. The house is given just as it stands carpets, furniture, curtains, pictures, etc. There is general rejoicing here to-night. The association held a meeting this afternoon at the Prebyterian church, when Dr. Moore rose and said, that some time since he and his wife, recognizing the fact that they were growing old, had made a will, providing that the property referred to above should remain to the survivor in case of the death of either; and that after the death of both it should go to the Episcopal church in this city.

Since the meeting of the Y. M. C. in Bowling (Jreen, and since they had both seen now the work had taken hold of the people lu re, they had become profoundly impressed with a desire to do something for the rising generation, especially for the boys, many of whom were traveling the downward road. After carefully considering the matter they revoked the former will, and resolved to make a deed of gift of the building to the Y.

M. C. to be used by them as they saw proper. The gift was immediately accepted, and a rising vote (tf thanks tendered the noble couple for their benevolence. A committee was appointed to wait on Dr.

ami Mrs. Moore personally, and express i to them, as far as nossihlc. the depn I 1 sense of gratitude in which they are held by the association and by the entire public. This act of true benevolence is a noble one, and prompted by noble desires, desires that the youth of this city may be saved from the terrible whirlpool of sin and temptation that continually seeths aUiut them. The praise of Dr.

and Mrs. Moore is in every mouth, and in every heart in this city to-night there wtiis up a profound sense of deep gratitude aiM love to them for their benevoience. It will be the salvation of Bowling Green." A Notad Preacher Gone. On last Saturday Rev. George W.

lirush breathed his last at Anchorage, Ky. Through seventy-live years he had served his Master well, having given most of his time to the ministry of his church the Methodist Episco pal. His experience in this field and some others had been extensive, and given him a wide acquaintance and a general popularity throughout the State, ami even beyond. He was born in Rockbridge county, Virginia, Oct. 20th, 1805, and was brought to Kentucky by his father, John lirush in 1800.

He was converted and joined the church in 1820, and was licensed to preach in 1828. His first charge wsis the Shelby ville and Brick Chapel station. He afterwards served in various places as preacher and presiding el der, with great benefit to his church and great satisfaction to his people. He was for some time President of a Female College at Millersburg. He was also chosen Superintendent of Public Instruction, and administered the duties of that important office well.

His stay as a preacher among our pe- ple was signalized by a strong impres sion of his piety, al and genial nature. Latterly he has li led the position of financial agent of the Widows and Or phans Home, at Louisville. He was placed by the last conference on the superanuated list and was spending an honored old age at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Walker, when death over took him. roin his fellow-men he has received the plaudit "well done thou good and faithful servant," and has gone at his allotted time to "enter into the joy of the Iiord."

Baltimore 1-ndd. The American Union 'iVl'-graph Company contemplate building a tele-gra jibline along the Ohio river from Ljjrffsville to Owensboro. We believe yfich a line would prove remunerative. Several years ago a company was organized styled "The Ohio River Telegraph Company," and a line was built them between the two points, touching at all the principal towns along the river.

For awhile the company made money, but the line finally into the hands of bad managers, and the company were compelled to suspend operations. Under the management of the American Union Company ti line would, no doubt, prove a success. Any movement having for object the establishment of such an enterprise will be giadly welcomed by citizens of Owensboro.
