FIENpIsM.--Some villain, ON the night
of tho 2Sd Of March, between the hours
of 1Oand II o'clock; fired the house of

adjoining his house, underneath which
the fire was first discovered, under full
headway. His books, papers, clothing
and every article of furniture were entire

the fate he intended for another. Mr..
Ms loss is quite heavy and has sOme-

Mr.. Fleming, as an artist of true merit,
has gained reputation In this State, oi
which he has cause Of being justly proud.
Although he has but recently appeared
upon our boards, yet he has shown him.
self to pOssessa versatility Of talent which
places him high jn the estimation Of the
most intelligent patrons Of the drama.
His various pOrSonatione in such charac-
ters as Hamlet, RichOLieU and Macbeth
were indeed brilliant, and justly entitle
him to be ranked among such artists of
acknowledged ability as Murdoch, Stark,
Young Booth. &c.
Mr. Fleming has been supported here
by good stock company among whom
arc Mcssrs. Brown, Mortimer, Morcland,
Davis, Miss Harriet Carpenter, Miss An
ME Smith, Miss Fowler, Mrs, Cole and
others-Miss Carpenter taking the leading
fcmale characters, oil Of which she sus-
taincd with her usual ability. This lady
made her appearance upon our boards as
early aS 1861, and has won for herself
many admirers among tho patrons Of the
drama, who award to her the merit of bc.
ing an artist Of no meagrO ability.
Tonight will positively be the last ap.
pearance Of this troupe, on which occa-
sion "Ro6 Roy McGro0or" will bc pre-
sentcd, in which Mr.. Fleming will sustain
the leading character. The evenings
entertainment will conclude with tho
amusing afterpiece entitled =" County
Seat Of Ell Dorado 100 Years Hence"
We hope to see them favored with q good
house.
The company will leave here direct for

From the Atlantic Monthly.
WHY THE STARS TWINKLE.
When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother,
The stars and flowers. the poets say,
Agreed with one another.
To cheat the cunning tcmpter's art,
And teach the race It's duty,
by keeping on lis wicked heart
Their eyes Of light and beauty.
A million slecplcss lids they say,
Will be at least a warming;
And 40 the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning,
The flowers still watch from rcddoning dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alas each hour Of daylight tells
A tale Of shame crushing,
That some turn white as sea-blcachod shells,
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers,
The traitors smile, tho murderer frown,
The lips oflyiog lovers
They try to shut their saddcuing eyes,
And in the vain cndeavor,
We sec them twinkling in the skies,
And 50 they wink forever.
