This should be removed, as it is an obstruction to travel. Kext Friday, the 8th inst, being a day of obligation there will be high mass at 8:30 o'clock a. m. at U Peter's Catholic church in this city. All communicants are cordially invited to.be present. A cold, we D toot leg hung oyer the citv this morning, and this is not at all agree- auie to me people oi eastern uregon This is the land ot sunsbine and blue : skies, and mists and clouds are not conducive to the most congenial feelings. Uncle fniup Mulkcy, a pioneer of . 185d, died in Eugene last Sunday at the advanced age ol 91 years. For the greater portion of his life he was a minisier of . the gospel, and he was highly esteemed as a conscientious, earnest Christian gen tleman. The moot court held a session a-t even ing at the recorder's office. A statement of facta was presented, and counsel appointed for the plaintiff and defendant. As it is case which will intoive several nice points of law considerable interest will center around its discussion. Mr. 8. Byrne, of the firm of E. W. Helm & Co., has fitted up one of the windows in the new drug store in a very artistic manner. By means of differently colored salts the name of the firm appears in bold letters, while the ground work consists of white crystals. This makes a beautiful display, and is very attractive from the street The city marshal gathered in the ho boes in good shape last night, and there were seyen who answered roll call befo.e the recorder this morning. Their mis feasance was duly considered, and the re- ' corder thought it would be better for all to give them a "ticket of leave," and they departed from the city, it is to be hoped . for the benefit of all concerned. Mr. Robert Smith, of Grass Valley, came into the office to-day. Be is a sheep raiser, and has brought his flocks from the summer range in Crook to winter pasturage in Sherman county. His ani mals are in good flesh, and not the least fear ne entertains of any loss during the winter The season has been very favor able for grass, and cattle of all kinds are in good condition. The Rev. Josiah Crouch, who Is re ported in the Prineville papers as having left that town under questionable circum stances, is known in this city and is rep resented to be a young man ot good char acter and from an excellent family. His friends in this city believe, there is some mistake about Mr. Crouch attempting to . defraud any one, and that after all the facts are known his actions will be placed in a far different light .- .East Lynne was placed on the boards last night at Wingate's hall bv the Stutiz' company. The pathetic dramatization of Mrs. Henry Wood's great work always at tracts attention, and the audience was very fair last night In the heavy scenes ' Mr. Htuttz took the leading parts, and well sustained his reputation, while the heart-rending pathos of Mrs. Stuttz in Lady Carlysle was duly appreciated. La Bastile will be acted to night, and th's promises to be something unique and at tractive. Mr. A.J. Swift, of Tygh valley, is in town to-day. From him we learn that nothing has yet been heard of Mr. Ben McAtee. His son, Willie, returned from his hunt in Union county a few davs ago, and he could trace his father no later than the beginning of November. The last heard of him was that he told a man with whom he was in com pany that he would return to Union and come down to The Dalles with him. But he never appeared, and it is snpposed that he never left the train, but continued on east. In aid ot the colliers' strike in England the London Chronicle raised over $60,000 and the Sun over $25,000 In spite of help there were thousands who often did not . taste food for a whole day, and yet there was no increase of crime. One woman said to her famished children : "Yes, you shall die die aud be buried before we'll " yield. We'll shut our door and lock it, and all die together." She was a Spartan mother. Now the colliers have won a principle worth fighting for that of a lair living wage. One sympathizer sub scribed $5000. Antelope Herald: Messrs. Farquhar McRae and Alex McLennon leave this week lor their old home in Scotland. After taking in the scenes of their boy hood days for a few months they will em bars for Southern Africa. They will en joy themselves in that portion of the dark continent for a year or so, when they will probably pull out for America agam. These gentlemen were two ot our best citizens, and their many friends here are sorry to lose them. tialem Statesman : ' Superintendent E. B. McElroy has been notified by Dr. Lewis, superintendent of the Oregon state com mission at the late world's fair, that four prizes have been -won by the Oregon 6tate school exhibit for points of superior ex cellency under the following heads: 1 State and county department of public instruction ; 2 primarj and intermediate public schools, graded and ungraded; 3 public night school ; 4 one prize to the Willamette university exhibit The political caldron has begun to boil in Crook county, and this is what the Prineyille Neyis says : "The several can didates in the different political parties for the local offices in this county would make quite a list. No less than five for the judgeship; about the same number for the clerkship; no less than seven for the sheriff, and all the other minor offices in proportion. Under, the circumstances, a mixed ticket is most certain to be elected. Most all the men talked of for office are good ones." - Notwithstanding the recent adverse weather 'work is progressing as rapidly as possible on the Cascade Locks. The heavy rains of late have caused considerable trouble, and it baa been necessary to keep pamping going to keep the water oat of the lock pit. Mr. Day was in Portland yes terday looking for another pump. Aa soon as the walla are up about six teet higher, there will be no more trouble about pamp ing. Messrs. Day & Co. -have tablet the contract for dressed stone to parties bo have opened a quarry on a ranch about four miles above Stevenson, and are getting out a very good quality of stone. Salem has at least one very honest min ister. In Saturday's Journal appears the following, which explains itself: "An open letter to 'BiP Anderson. Dear Sir: One week from to-morrow evening at South Salem M. E. church I shall take as my subject 'Woe to him that putteth the cup to his neighbor's lips I shall make reference to the death of Richard McUee. The place where he died. As your name will come In connection with this sub ject, and not only your name but your business, not wishing to do you an injus tice any statement that yon may wish to make in justification of your business will be presented to the audience if put in respectful terms. Yours, etc., -J. M Shulse. pastor South Salem M. E. church." Harney Times: Sandy, the wounded stage driver, is reported recovering. When the doctor told him that he must die, he of fered to bet him $10 that he wouldn't, Sandy, however, made an ante-mortem statement, which he swore to before a no tary public, and requested that it be sealed, and only opened after his death, and in case he did not die to remain in possession ot deponent. The cist of his statement has leaked out and baa liecomepublic property It connects a gentleman of high standing in this courty with the shooting, and th cause dates back to the Red S. troubles. It is expected that the grand jury will inves tigate. . Washington fir and cedar, says the Northux stern Lumberman, are making headway among the car builders Two considerable orders for cars have re cently been placed on with the Wells & French tympany, of Chicago, and the other with an Indiana factory, lhe specifications called for Washington fir or cedar sides and' decking, or white pine Thus Pacific coast lumber was put on an equal fooling with white pine. This shows that car builders have made them selves familiar with the adaptability of nr ana cedar to their purpose, ana are willing to use it il they can buy it at figures to suit.'. And doubtless much of this "Washington" fir and cedar is grown in Oregon. . From Thursday's Daily. Mr. W. F. Helm, of Nansene, is in the city to-day. There are several bands of hogs at the stockyards of R. E. Saltmashe A Co. They are from Kincsley a id Wainic. ami are in good condition. A steer weighing 1720 pounds is at the stockyards of R. E. Saltmarhe & Co. it wji brought from Crook county, in a bsn i of cattle driven lu tiy Mr. J. Cram. A carload of cattle shipped from the stockyards cf R. E. Saltinarshe & Co. yes terday to Port Townsend, Wa.-h. They were from Crook connty, the property of Mr. J. Cram. The V. S. grand jury in Portland have sent imto court another batch of indict ments for opium smuggling, and on the list are James A. Lotan. Glenn O. Holman and some other prominent citizens of Portland. The Populist sheriff of Colnmbiacountv. Oregon, is musing, and so are $3000 of the county funds. Both are wanted badly at St. Helens. It s ema strange that a prom inent member of so saintly a party should take the wrong road. I. W. Miller, of Summervil'e. whose child was kidnaped by gypsies nearly two years ago, has gone to Ohio where the authorities think they have the little one. A Dhoto- graph sent to him was recognized by him self and ctheis. She was with a band of gypsies. The Union whist club met last night at fraternity ball, and there was a full repre sentation ot members and invited guests. Ten tables were occupied bv players, and games were played until a late hour. Mrs. A. t. JJunt;tt carried off the first prize and juts. it. j. uiaKeley, the booby. We have received the first number nf th Daily Oregon Democrat, published in Salem by Mr. & U. iagg. He has been publish ing a weekly paper lq that city for" a long while, tnd we are glad to note the fact that his business -warrants him in changing it to a daily. Mr. Dlagg is an able newtpnper man, ana we witn mm success in his uew venture, except politically. Yakima Bervld: It has not been de- hnitely ascertained what the hop crop of lamina tor 1893 ainouttd to. but about 9000 bales have already been shipped and Agent Humphrey after consulting numer ous buyers aud growers animates that there are still between 1600 and 1800 hales left in the county. A. B. Weed, who is now bay ing, quotes 1516 cents as the ruling price. There can be no doubt that our streets could be in a better condition than they are now, aud might be improved by filling in the center and forming ditches on the sides. While we are not in favor of any extra expense on the taxpayers, this work could be done by hoboes uuder arrest, who. bv this means might pay the cost of their keeping. Capt. J. W. Lewis received a dispatch to-day from Hon.- W. R. Ellis stating that the bill extending the time of purchasing forfeited railroad lands had Dassed the house, and that the senate had extended the time three years. This will be good news to the tarniers who have settled on these lands, and who on account of an propitious seasons have not been able to purchase their homes. Mr. Lewis says Oregon has obtained 75 medals at the world's fair, ranking third among the states. Seventeen were in hort iculture, being for apples, peaches, cherries. singly and collect iyely, collection of nuts. dried Oregon prunes, German and Hungar ian prune; 23 in agriculture, heretofore given, 12 in fisheries, 10 in mining, 2 in forestry, 4 in education, 3 and perhaps 5 in the woman's department, 2 for herbarium. This figures up 61. We were gratified to-day in perusing a personal letter from Hon. John L. Steyens, formerly minister to the Sandwich islands, to Col. Thomas S. Lang, ot this city. Mr. Stevens says that he performed his duty to the government with honor and integrity, and in a manner that he considered would be for the best interests of the country. He speaks in glowing terms of the Pacific coast, and from bis best information firmly be lieves that the future of this region will be bngbt and prosperous. " It is unlawful to have in one's possession (except for breeding purpose) or offer for sale any grouse, pheasant, Mongolian pheasant, quail or partridge at any time ex cept between August 1 and Noyember 15. Valley or California quail may be taken except between October 15 and February. Prairie chickens may be lawfully taken only dnring the months cf July, August and September. In Eastern Oregon it is unlawful at any time to destroy any Mon golian pheasant, quail, bob-white or pheas ant. , - On Saturday Gilbert Hunt and F. M. Kendall, aa incorporators, tiled with the county auditor of Walla Walla county arti cles of incorporation of the Gilbert Hunt Manufacturing Company. The new corpo ration has a capital of $60,000, divided into sixty shares of the par value of $1000 each The company is tJ exist for fifty years, and its chief place of business is Walla Walla It takes the plant aud business of Gifber Hunt A Co., and will engage ia the manu facture of threshing machines, and other agricultural implements. Monday seven miles below Walla Walla, Frederick Lux, a German farmer about 56 years old, drew a pistol on a laborer named faircmid, and atter chasing Obediah Os borne and wife, bis neighbors, at the point of a shotgun, demanded admission lot their house. His attention-was finally dis tracted, and he left, barricading himself in his cabin. Next morning he was surprised -and arrested while cooking breakfast. He is of quick tempered disposition, aud bis wild actions are believed to have been dus to a sadden fit of anger while intoxicated. Those in charge of the work of the state agricultural college have determined to in stitute a short course ot lectures for the ag riculturists ana horticulturists of Oregon. It is not intended to take the place of col lege work, but it is intended to meet the wants of those who are engaged in such pursuits. ' They will be thorongbly practi cal. This is free to all who feel disposed to attend tbem; and they should be listened to by all who can spare the time, even if it does take some money to make the trip to Corvallia. The appropriation of $70,000 for the im provement ot the upper Colombia river, says the Ellensbargh Localizer, was spent to little purpose. A large part of the money was spent in building scows aud making preparations to commence work. Work on none ot the rapids was nnisbed so as to be of any practical benefit. Boats had as cended the river as far as Orcndd before any work was done by the government, but the work done at Rock Island has done very little good toward ascending the rapids by steamers. A Portland dispatch of December 5th says: Mrs. George H. Williams finished her forty days' fast yesterday and received food from her attendants. She appeared to be in good spirits and her features showed no traces of suffering. She refused to re ceive visitors or to speak to any one, but remained in her room all day. Some aston ishing "revelations" from Divinity and prophesies are expected when she condes cends to speak. Of what nature these rev elations will be is not known,' but are snp posed to be more of her exaltation and con versation with angels. At Pendleton recently a man named Jack Kimball had an experience which he will not soon forget. While standing against a post on which there is a pulley for raising and lowering arc lights, he unconsciously placed his hand upon the small wire rope above the pulley. He screamed with pain sad oould not let go. His companion finally , pulled him loose, atter be had (offered ex- treme agony. A phvsician was summoned and Kimball revived after several houis, His hand and arm were severely burned and the shock to his system came near be ing fatal. Would it not be a good idea to keep arc light pulleys out ot reach? A correspondent writes from Lapwai to the Grangeville Free Press that the bodies of a man and woman of middle age had been found recently by Indians in the Bit ter Root mountains. It is not definitely known who the victims were, but it is stated by prospectors that parties answering their description lett JLo LrO hot springs last sum mer to go on foot to Boise City in order to escape the persecutions of the woman stepmother. They evidently did not realize the dangers of this journey, and, as they were poorly provided, haa to succumb to the pangs of hanger and starvation an thus made their pitiable storv possible. From Friday's Dailv. The daily attendance at the public school daring the past month was 426, and the number enrolled 484. The city jail is empty for the first timo tor many days, and no arrests were made last night. In consequence the city re corder had no interviews this morning. Messrs. Thomas and Isaac Joles returned ytsterday. moruiog from a wild goose hunt n Sherman county, having been successful in killing a large number of birds. They are fat and will make a very edible meal tor epicureans. Yellow fir. such as grows in profusion in Oregon, is being tried in Paris for street paving. Before beiDu laid, it is treated with a preparation of creosote, which is ob tained trom he proligueous acid and tarry matter distilled from the sawdust of the wood. Thanksgiving day was eel brated in De troit by tbe tfmtribatiou of food to the poor, 10,000 of whom were provided with a good dinner and enough food to last several days. Ihis was the work of the rastors Union, which gathered over $25,000 worth of food and clothing. The weather still continues delightful; but there is yet time for our citizens to ex perience some of the severity of winter. Christmas day is sometimes springlike in this cimate, and winter has delaved his dreary visit until tbe latter part of January or February. We received a call last evening from Mr. Charles Mell and Mr. John A. Niemela, of Ceuterville, Wash. Notwithstanding the amount of grain lost by reason ot the late rains, the farmers of Klickitat county are not discouraged and as large an amount of acreage has been sown this year to wheat as ever. Bill Anderson, the well-known saloon keeper of Sileni, publishes a card signed by 57 men, admitting that they were at his place oa Thansgiving and ate turkey, etc.. and drang egg-nog, which they found to be good in every respect. The name of that man who died from too much egg-nogg and others who were made sick are on the list. The case is assuming a peculiar aspect. Aa the Oregon Pacific train from the front was neanng tnis city luesday evening, says the Albany Herald, Charles Bills, one of the brakesmen, was looking for some de rangement of the brake beneath the trucks, rtitn be was thrown from the train and his lead struck violeutiy against a wood pile. e was knocked mseusinle aud was Beverely hurt, but it is thought his injuries will not prove fatal In less than six weeks the celebrated Puyallup Indian reservation case, involving property in Washington vaiued at from SO,- UUO.UUO to $7,000,000, will be taken ap by the United States court of appeals at -Seattle. United States District Attorney Brinker is preparing his brief in the case, which promises to be one of the most bit terly contested iu the history of the Pacific coast courts. A few days ago. says the Biker Citv Democrat, the post office at Huntington, C. E. Ross, postmaster, was entered during tbe night, and among the registered pack ages stolen was one receipted for at iiuue- ngton containing $462.35 sent from the Silby Smelting Company at San Francisco to the address of Chin Chop, a Chinese resi dent of Maihear City. Tbe tents of tbe tribe of Koreish were moved to this city last night, and two Princes of the Orient were created by the myytio rites in Fraternity ball. As soon as the hegira opens the Grand Padashaw will pitch his tents iu adjoining pastures, and all princes will be invited to partake of a least and perform tbe necessary abultions before beginning the pilgrimage to Mecca. W. P. Mounts, a carpenter and con tractor, left this city last Tuesday uig.n for . parts unknown, aud we are informed by Mr. Jobn Elton that, as a gentle, reminder of his residence in Tha Dalles, there are Beveral bills which he has not paid, amount ing to over $200. He is not expected to re turn at an early date, and it may be that these bills will be credited to profit and loss. Salem Statesman: The pardoning power of Goveioor Peuuoyer was yesterday ex tended to the relief of J. H Buckinaster now confined in tbe state peniteutiary. Buckmaster was convicted of the crime of larceny in tbe circuit court of Klamath county at the Jane, 1891, term, and sen tenced for the period of five years. The pardon was granted upon recommendation of the district attorney who secured his conviction. George Sutherland returned yesterday trom Southern Oregon, where he went to investigate the circumstances of the recent robbery of his father, Thomas Sutherland, by masked men near Oakland, says the Al bany Herald. The old. gentleman was not as badly hurt as at first reported. The rob bers, who are supposed to be men living near and perhaps some of his neighbors, maltreated him shamefully, but secured only about $40. A reward of $500 is offered for their apprehension and conviction. Mrs. Ida Matteson died this morning in this city at tbe residence of ner mother, Mrs. Bagely. She was married on Dec. 14, 1892, to Mr. A C. Matteson, of Portland, and has lived there nntil that dread disease consumption developed and she was brought home to die. . Mrs. Matteson was aged 21 years and 9 months, and leaves a husband, mother, two brothers tod a sister to mourn her early demise She was a lady of excel lent traits of character, and her early death will be a source cf. regret to many friends. State's Evidence, the play last night at Wingate's hall was put on the boar-Is in good shape. Isaacs, the lew character, was well taken bv Mr. J. G S'uttz. au3 Mm. .Stuttz and Mr. Behlon took other leading patts. It is not as heavy a drama as La Bastille; bat it hid army lud-cr ms-j scenes which coovalsed tbe audience with laugh ter. One especial feature of these enter tainments is the excellent music furnished, which alone is worth the price of admission. To-night Rip Van Winkle will be rendered, and Mr. Stuttz has an excellent reputa tion in his delineation of this-charaoter. A law was enacted at the last meeting of congress which provides that no assessment work need be done on any mining claim in Oregon, paoviding it is owned by any indi vidual living in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Utah or Nevada. If it. is owned by a corporation or by a person living in any other state tban those named, the work must be done. Tbe law is good for the year 1893 only, and to secure its benefits, the owner of the claim must file a notice before December 31st, in the office where the location certificate ia recorded, that he intends to hold tbe claim and work It beteafter. .Call on some notary and fiie your notice. Ira Hawley foolishly tried to ford the branch of the river just below the Eugene mill dam thin morning about 9:30 o'clock, ' says the Guard. The river haa cut a new channel south of the old one, and into this be drove, although tbe river ia at that point at least four feet above low water mark. He had not got fairly in before tha horses were washed down stream but turned to the shore, the hind end of the wagon swinging around and became uncoupled. While the horses got out, Mr. Hawley, standing in the wagon bed, accompanied by the hind wheels went sailing down stream.- He landed near tbe tannery without material damage except a good scare. W. W. Union Journal: A dispatch from' Washington, D. C , states that the secretary of the interior haa decided the two land contest cases of Denny G. Tborras and Adah E. Thomas against Ed ward E. Freeman in favor of the latter. The land involved was tbe southwest quar ter of section 5, township 8. range 36 east. W bea the Northern Pacific land grant was torfeited Freeman filed niton tbe piece of land in question. The Thomases filed a contest and were defeated in the local land office. They then appealed to tbe general land office, where the case was again de cided against them. . An appeal was made to the secretary of the interior with the above stated result. Oreqonian: Satisfactory progress is re ported by the various committees entrusted with the task of having Oregon fittingly represented at the midwinter fair. Num erous applications have been received for space for individual exhibits of an attrac tive character, and in this respect the indi cation are that the midwinter fair will go ahead of the Chicago exposition. People should remember that not only must money be raised, bat that exhibits also mast be se cured. Of the former, bat one-third that appropriated for Chicago is asked, but of the latter there should be double. Ibis morning Messrs. Myers, Kapns, Batty and Mitchell co to McMinnville to attend a meeting of the citizens there.

A rather novel piece of engineering was inaugurated Monday on the Southern Pa cific main line on the Clackamas river near Oregon City. During the high water tha trains have experienced serious difficulty in this discrict owing to the water covering the track to a depth of several feet, at times extinguishing the tires in the locomotive furnace. Monday night fears were enter tained for the safety ot the track from be ing undermined and washed away so ne vard engine was routed out and-about twenty box cars were twitched out of the yard and onto the main line. The cars were then backed down onto the submerged track and spiked. Huge iron rails and bars were distributed aloug each side of the track at the ends of the ties. W ith this Drecaution the track remained in statu quo. The water hai suuicieniy receaea now to allow the rails to peek from their watery bed and iu a few days will, no donbt, leive the track high and dry. Indian Matters. The commissioner of Iudiau affairs has re ceived a number of annual reports of In dian agents. The majority of them indi cate geueral prosperity ainorg the tribes and a gradual advancement in civilization Several agents coui-r.ent oo the indifference ludiaus to marriage ties and their un willingness to abandon old customs. The agent of tbe Cjlville agency in Washington believes the efforts te civiliz-s the red men re not successful and says, by intermar riage and a heavy death rate, the Indian is doomed to extinction in a few generations, At the Uintah and Ouray reservation in Utah the use of grazing lands by white men is creating considerable dissatisfaction. The werk of the courts of Indian offenses generally recommended, and the effi ciency of the Indian police is praised. The attention . paid to agriculture and stock- raising at most of the agencies is reported to be growiug each year. Albany Herald: Deputy District At torney J. K. Wyat; received a telegram yesterday from Lyons staling that two men had been arrested there over a riot in the church occasioned by a quarrel about the possession of an organ. Tbe instrument, which belonged to the union Sunday school and has heietofore been in the school house, was removed to the church on a vote of the Sunday school. Some opposed this change and threat ened to take the organ back to tbe school bouse. Sunday night three men slept in the church to guard the orgaD, and in the night tbe opposing side, armed with a writ of replevin, broke into tbe church where trouble followed. No one was hurt, but the two arrests were made, and the end is not yet. - The trouble is said to have grown out of the recent school dis pute there. Eeleased on Bonds. After a hard struggle, O. P. Mason and B. P. Watson, the Mercury editors, secured bonds yesterday, says the Oregonian, and were released from custody. Their sure ties were Mrs. Mary Mason, wife of O. P. Mason, and George Ham.

Last Wednesday night Mr. Peter Four- nelle came from Portland on the boat, and in company with him was a young man named James Wettle, on whose person he noticed certain olotbea belonging to himself, and which had been stolen from his resi dence on Chenoweth creek. About coon yesterday Wettle was arrested by Mr. Frank Maloney, charged with the larceny of these gjoda. He acknowledged the lar ceny, ana impucatea jonn urier in the theft of other articles, who was arrested and held by Justice Schutz in the sum of $200 to appear for examination, and bail furnished. Later in the day, from confessions of Wettle, it was found that Kner had pur loined several articles and bis bondsmen de livered him into the hands of the officer. Mr. Maloney went to Chenoweth creek about 11 o'clock last night, and fqond in Krier's house about $30 worth of carpenter tools which he had taken from Mr. Fourcelle, a pair of cuff buttrns owned by a baker in this city and other goods amounting in value to about $120. It is supposed K ier broke into the cabiu of Fournelle, which is not far distant from his own and stole the tools during Fournelle'a absence. The other articles were taken from visitois unknown to them, and who did not suspect their host of being guilty of the crime. Krier is now confined in the county jail and Wettle in the city lock-up, and further developments may be expected. Krier was interested in the steam wood saw, an 1 is well known to our citizens. Ih3 soerirt ana his aeputy, J. u. ja.-kson went out to Chenoweth creek to day, and brought in an express wagon loaded w,th stolen g wd a from the house of Krier. These were taken to Justice Schutz1 office, and Krier and Wei tie appeared this after noon for examination. After a hearing the magistrate held tbem in $750 bail each to appear and arswer the charges oetore the next term of tbe circnit court. The com plaining witness, Peter Fournelle, was held in the sum of $100 bail which he furn ished to appear as witness in the circuit court. La Bastille. . This was placed on the boards last night, and was greeted by a very good audience. The plot of the play is laid in the stormy times of the French revolution, and tbe principal characters are some who suffered in the bastille and others who inaugurated the reign of terror. Of course the stage was inadequate to a fair presentation of tbe thrilling acts connected with the drama; bnt this was no fault of tbe company, and Mr. Stuttz selected the best ha'I he could procure iu the city. The leading role was taken by Mr. J. 6. stuttz, who as Manrice Bertrand, gave a realistic portrayal of the horrors of the old French prison, aud exhibited a fine concep tion of the strong feelings that would, under the circumstances, rage in the breast of every honest, liberty loving man. Mrs Stuttz took the part of Marguerite Luoot, and made some very clever personations of the difficult character. As Abbe Le Mair, Harry Beldon displayed some artistis delin eations of the scheming, heartless villiain. The other parts were taken by different person', and furnished support to the play. There could not be conceived a more in teresting page of modern history from which to construct a drama, and the inci dents are such as to appeal to the strongest feelings ot the human heart. From begin ning to end - the attention of the audience was riveted ob the stage,and the acting was frequently applauded. The American peo ple have the warmest sympathy with the French, and, while they cannot endorse all the acts of Robespierre and his coadjutors, yet "Vive la Franco" "Vive Ia Liberty" and tbe Marseillaise will always find re sponsive chords in the hearts of our citizens.
