AMUSEMENTS. Acspuuy OF MUSIC—“OneERoN.’—The Parepa- Rosa Engtisi Opera Troupe tast night surprised every musician acquainted with their vocal resources by a successful rendering of one of Weber's most difficult works—tne spectacuy ‘ar ana romantic “Oberon.” It is now nearly Yorty-four years since vhs, the last of the great composer’s labors, was produced for the frst time under his direction at Covent Garden, and we cannot give a reason for the comparatively smail number of its representations everywhero unless on account of the difficult and com- Dlicated nature of the music and the mise en scene required to place it on the Stage in @ fitting manner, Weber wrote tt at the request of Charles Kemble, then manager of Co- vent Garden, from a libretto by Mr. Planché. The plot is from one of Wieland’s poems, and comprises the adventures of Sir Huon of Bordeaux, the favor: ite of the King of the Fairies. The hero rescues the fair Ketza trom the covert of Al Raschid, mar- ries her and again comes to her aid after she had fallen into the hands of the Barbary pirates. We doubt if Weber bestowed so much Care and study on any, of his other works as he has on “ObNpn.” He conducted it himself on the first night, afer months of incessant labor in the renearsals, which afterwards prostrated him and laid him on his deathbed. We are aston- ished that Mme, Rosa did not select it for the open- ing of the season at the Academy. It would have been then unnecessary to change the bill, ‘The house was fairly crowded last night, especially in the parquet and dress circle, the boxes being in part untenanted. The success of the opera was complete and elicited enthusiasm even from the icy habitues of this opera house. Mme. Parepa-Rosa appeared as Reiza, an Oriental princess, the role in wnich Mrs. Wood, née Mary Anne Paton, made such @ furor thirty years ago, and Sir Huon, the part written originally for braham, was sung by Mr. Castie. Mrs, Seguin appeared ag Fatima, the companion of the princess, and Mr. Law- rence aa Sherasmin, atvendant of the knight. ‘vo Mme. Parepa-Rosa, Whose peerless ren- dering of the grandest air that probably any opera could boast of—“Ocean, thou mighty monster’’—alone would have made the opera a suc- cess, the first praise 13 due. She sang the trying music of her part without a flaw and with ali the fire, richness of tone aud breadth of style it de- manded, Mrs. Seguin made a charming little Oriental belle and Mr. Lawrence fully redeemed the failure of last week. He sang a beautiful air introduced in the opera, adapted from oue ot Weber's piano sonatas by Mr. Howard Glover, in a truly artistic manner. He seemed to be entirely at home in such music, more so than with Verdi. Mr. Castle acted and sang the hero’s part with a great deal of passion and cnergy and wita a thorough appre- ciation of tue ideas of the composer. The battle song which occurs in the first act is not in the German edition of the opera. When Weber wasrehearsing the opera Bralam, with the usual disagreeabieness of tenors, refused to sing the open- the last moment, to write a grand bactle song, much ing air written for him, and obliged the composer, at against Weber's inclinations, it was a little woo much for the calibre of Castle’s voice, but there was. no mistaking his earnestness in the execution of it. Messrs. Le Solla and Hall were unexceptionable in their parts, and Miss Geraldine Warren made a very favorable impression as Puck, Much of the success of the opera is due to the admirable leadership of Mr. Carl Rosa, under whose baton both chorus, orchestra and soloists moved in perfect order, and to the clever stage management of Mr. Harry Jackson, who managed to make quite a respectable spectacle at very short notice. Miss Rose Hersave takes a benefit to-night in ‘The Black Domino.’ She 1s @ highly deserving artist and merits the utmost appreciation of the public.

PouGgukBzrste, March 29, 1870, » Four well known persons have mysteriously die appeared from this city within a little over a month’s time, ana the people are just commencing to wake Up in relation to the matter, THE ¥IRST was aman named James Jaycox. On the afternoon of the 22d of February he came here from New Ham burg, having On his person $1,000 in greenbacks. He Was put to bed at the Forbus House in an tntoxtcated conuition by a young man named Luckey. After remaining in bed @ short time he got up and went out and at four P. M. was seen standing in front of & grocery store by officer Shields, Shordy after nine ®. M. he put in an appearance at the ticket office at the depot, and askea Mr, While, the ticket agent, for a lcket for New Hamburg, intending to take pas- sage on the milk train. The ticket agent informed him that the tram was gone, when he walked away irom tae window, and, leaving the depot, has not been seen since, He is thirty-three years of age, five feet ten inches in height, and weighs about 160 pounda, He wore red whiskers and red mustuche, was attired in a blue coat and pearly black pantaioons, and wore a cap. His brother, Mr. Thomas Jaycox, oilers a rewara of $300 for information of his whereabouts, dead or auve. He i8 confident that he has met with foul play in this city, He Was & man who seldom visited auy piace except Poughkeepsie, THE SECOND MAN disappearing in an unaccountable manner was ae old resident named Abraham Stockholm. He resided in Crandeil street, He left his home on the nignt ef the 18th of March, going out after supper, saying BB Would not ve gone long, Up to this time he has gob returned, nor is there & Man In this city who cal say he saw tim outside of bis house that night after dark. It 1s thougiut he has cowunitted suicide, THE THIRD MISSING PERSON is a young married wan, twenty-tnree years of hamed Matthew Colweil. He was a farmer. He came tu town @ week ago with fifty dollars worth of eggs and sold them, He was jast seen about dusk of the same day entering the Tremont House, near the railroad depot, since wuich time no trace of bim can be found. These mysterious disap) ances, coming 80 quickly in successiog, have excited @great deal of auxieiy, and the people are begin- ning to ask questions of serious limport, and altuough one would suppose the authorities would: move tn the matter, they, on the contrary, seem to take nO notice of the matter whatever. It is confl- dently believed that two of the missing men bave been murdered, and ta view of such opinions many think it wouid be a proper movement on the part of Mayor Morgan to offer a reward for tuformation concerning thelr whereabouts. THERE ARE BAD MEN HERE ag well as in other cities. It 18 not long ago that a young man, @ resident of Poughkeepsie, went to New York and had an interview with a professional tue, the result of which was the thief came pore, and one day he was put on the tags or § Dutchess county farmer, who left town !2:@ fn the day for his rural noms, With 315,023 in fonds on his persou, | Hestarted’ ror nis Yafm nouse in a. fumber Do ~ugon, alone, and the tet followed clowely, in- te ng Lo Wrest the bonds from the honest farmer tends. yd perhaps murder him, But a snort dis- by force, ~“ever, and to the chagrin of the thief, tance out, bos ‘swith company and plenty of ib, the farmer fell wW when “NS WERE FOILED, THE VILLAIN'S PLa. ~sugtikeepsie, When an- The burglar came back tor. certain Viliago om, other job was set up ior him ina “lowing? of a the Tladeon, which involved the =. -aq nt, safe.

He was enticed into a hotel, filled with rum and urged to play cards, He consented, and the game commenced at dark. AG seven 0" the next morning he rose from tue gaming table stripped of every dollar. The cards were “stocked” on Lim, and the man Who performed the job was beat out of his share of the proceeds, ‘The above cases show that there are men in this town who will do almost anything for money, ana if James Jaycox and Matthew Colweil have been foully deait with & is among such @ class of men that the public and the police have a mgnt to look for 4 soiution for vheir disappearance. it does not speak well for this city that our authorities sit with folded hands in these matters, Every feature of the cases demands the prompt and immediate aid of the city government, Acting as our sister city, ‘roy, has acted in the “Harper mystery,” our own city government should at least offer $1,000 reward for the recovery Of the bodies of Jaycox and Colwell, dead or alive. The community want action, and the jacts, as stated, are causing profound feeling, THE FOURTH AND LAST of these terrible mysteries is just reported and has renewed the excitement with great invensity. The present mystery involves the whereabouts of @ man named James Lynasen, of whom no Liformation can be obtained. A COLORED LECTURESS, Discourse at the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church=“Are Woe United t” Miss Anna Watson, ore of a new generation of colored lecturers, who are to disabuse the minds of people of the idea that the colored people are inferior in intellect to those of the whites and to elevate them to political social equality (?), delivered @ semi-religious political lecture at the African Metho» dist Le ggatr Bethel church, in Sullivan street, last evening. Her subject was the query, “Are We United?” reterriug to the condition of the colored. people in the struggle for equality. In commencing the lecturer said sie was gratified because the num- ber of persons present Was an indication of tne intel- gence and desire tor learning of her race, She de- clared that the colored people are not drifting back- ward, but rather are moving steadily forward, step by step, toward science and everything worthy the attention of American citizens. The colured people sbould keep united in order to win those rights which such a civilized country as this and to which the Lord has given the power Lo bestow, denies them. We must move as did the colored soldiers | of whom certain newspa- pers often say in derision, ‘the colored troops fought nobly’—at Port Hudson and Wagner Heights, unitedly and boldly. Such noble men as those vol- unteers I would bave rule over thus country instead of the selfish tyrants who ever have ruled it. Any ot our people could reply to the query, “Where is our party golng?”’ of our political opponents—that itis drifting down to dark oblivion, In concluding she said that her course in appearing as a lecturer had been condemned; but that having @ real desire for the elevation of her race, she had determined to defy such condemnation and to persevere in her task.
