A CITIZEN.
Chapmans' Theatrical Company.

This well known Company arrived in our
town on Saturday last, and intends remain
for a few days. 1t is composed entirely Of
excellent performers, Whose claims for Ia
lent, Individually and Collectively in the
Histrionic Art, should be highly appreciated.
1t has performed several popular pieces,
in highly creditable manner, such as our
citizens have not always All opportunity of
Witnessing; and fully sustained the hereto
fore good opinion universally expressed
wherever it has been--of being the
most talented and deserving Company that
has ever been in Mississippi.
At season Of the year, when our citi-
zens require little recreation, it would be o
rich treat for them to rc-treat 10 the Mansion
House, where the Company performs, and
partake of the "Crums Of Comfort SO well
distributed by this enterprising Dramatic
Corps. One look from person of the mos
imper turbable gravity, at the comic face o
Mr.. George Chapman, would make him :

would exclaim, verify, at is enough TO make
fat sides shake

OGDENsBUReH, April IA, 1880.
At S o'clock this afternoon, the steamer
United States started upward on her first
trip, having on board great number of
passengers, among whom were several wo-
men and children. On striking out into
the river, being then nearly opposite Pres.
colt, five or six cannon were discharged a.
her from the wharf at Prescott, loaded as
is averred with ball, three of which were
plainly seen by more than fifty to strike
the water near her. AS she did no, tnrn
about we cannot tell whether any Of The
shot struck her, but it is supposed they did
not.
The cause of the outrage is we'll known.
The Canadians are incensed against the
boat on account of the part she took in tow
ing the Patriots TO Prescott last fall-which
was done without the knowledge or con-
sent of the owners. The officers then in
charge of the boat have been discharged,
and yet to crafty silly rage they have
conceived against the boat, they fired on
her, and thus endangered the lives Of the
unofending passengers, in the hope Of des
roying the boat.

.4necdote Of Madison.--When the de-
bates for the adoption of the federal constr
tuition were occupying the attention Of our
patriotic fathers, and when wisdom, like a
daily vstant, hovered over the hall where
genius andSvirtue breathed fire into the
hearts Of the sages who were there assem-
bIed, MIR. Madison wished to speak, but
was almost afraid from his great physical
debility to make the attempt. However
he begged a gentleman who was sitting
near him TO pull him by the coat when he
perceived that he was becoming exhaust
ed.
Mr. Madison rose and openenOd his

came, stronger as progressed-passage oI,

almost nsipid lips; every point of the great
subject he touched, he left for men OF all

ed in his chair, why did you not pull me

The rain which fell during the latter part
OF last week, and the melting of the snow
near the head waters Of the river Delaware,
caused it on Saturday and Sunday to rise to
an unusual height, and was several feet

TO individuals along the banks Of The Dela-
ware has been very considerable, and to

Mr.. Alricks was about to resume his re-
marks, when Mr.. Fisher rose and said, that
since the adjournment of the court. the
counsel for the prosecution had satisfied
themselves that the indictment could not be
sustained; that it had been prepared in hur-

perfectly satisfied of its sulIicency; that the

to be defective; and, as the defendants had
applied to have the indictment quashed, he
would not urge any objec ions; but that, at
