Francisco is announced, was native of the town
of Wayne, in county of Stcuben, in this State,

don, and played at the Adelphi through nearly
two seasons. Returning to America, he played
his first engagement at the Broadway Theatre,
commencing the season Of 1855. He did not
please his own cOuntryInen so well as the Lon
doners-hiS pOrtraitures being very broad carl

gross and monstrous. He had Il round, Jolly
face, and much nobility of cOuntcnance He
WAS often excessively funny, and evidently pos

and good school. lie WAS, however, quite e.

country during the season of So or ID, and went
to California about year since. He was only

at Lowell, Mass, and we now find the following
account of similar affair in the Manchester O..
" Guardian ofthc 26th of January:
Acompanyof twenty zone ladies, each with an
invited beau, started yesterday afternoon, at a
little past twelve oclock in two Slcighs for Con-
cord. Twenty-six of them went in a six horse
sleigh driven by Daniel W. Fling, and the re-
naming sixteen in four horse sleigh, driven by
| D, II. Barton. 1t WIS the coolest day of the
year, the wind blowing flriouslY, and the ther-
mometer at zero. The ladies were dressed in
promenade style, with bOnnets on the back OF
(! their heads, Ia fashion. Some of tho men wore
stove funnel hats, and were not unusually guard.
cd against the cold ItmSde tender young men
shivcr to see them start, but the ladies' set an
example worthy of the republic, thatlove knows
no danger and fears no cold. However. there
were plenty of robes and blankets on board, so
that the ladies, partaking of the enthusiasm OF
the occasion, declared that they did not suffer
at all. Some of the gentlemen were less fortu-
nate and got nipped badly, one having his ears
frozen. The ladies were not nipped at all by
the cold
At Hookset they got warmed, aud arrived at
Concord at 6, where they stodped at the Eagle
Hotel, kept by Maj Gibson. They had a mag
nificent supper, which was followed by toasts
and sentiments Miss Gregg being toast mis-
| treSs. Phey booked their names at the hotel
thus: Miss L. Gregg and gent, and so on thro'
the list,
After the literary entertainment, they were
invited to visit the Granite Guards Ball They
did so in body, not joining the dance. The
evening was spent very mcrrily till late hour,
when the question arose about their returning,
| The wind had blown so hard that the road was
in bad condition, and the night cold. 1t was ne
cessary for some of them, being operatives in
agreed to come home in the cars in the first train
this morning -and did So the slcighs returning
empty. They represent that they had happy
time.
The ladies played the gallant to perfection,
paying all of the bills, hiring the coaches and
waiting upon the gents to their homes this
morning.
