MIR. CoULDocK AT PAUNcEFoRT's ATHE-
NEUM.-Last night c. W. Couldock appeared
for the first time in this city at the Worcester
Theater, in the character of farmer Fielding
in the exciting drama of Willow Copse. The
play furnishes considerable scope for display
OF his peculiar powers as an actor, and he was
entirely successful in making the audience
aware of his genius. Mrs. Pauncefort ably
rendered the all important character of
Rose Fielding, while Mrs. Biddles and Miss
Cramer, the former as Meg and the lat
ter as Lucy Vanguard, were excellent.
AT the close of the play, Mr.. Couldocl1 ap-
peared, in answer to the enthusiastic demands
OF the audience, and made brief response,
complimentary to our delightful city" To
night he appears as Cardinal Richelieu.
Mr.. Pauncefort is giving performances here
that will compare favorably with those at the
best metropolitan theaters, and he merits sue.

SHAVING STATUTE.-In Parliament held
at Trim by John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury,
then Lord Lieutenant, ammo l447, 25th Henry
VI, it was enacted "That every Irishman
must keep his upper lip shaved, Or else be
used as an Irish enemy" The Irish at this
time were much attached to the national fop-
perry of wearing mustachos, the fashion then
throughout Europe, and for more than two
centuries after. The unfortunate Paddy who
became an enemy for his beard like an enemy
was treated for the treason could only be
pardoned by the surrender of his land. Thus
two benefits accrued to the King, his enemies
were diminished and his followers provided
for; many Of whose descendants enjoy the
confiscated properties to this day, which may
appropriately be designated chair breadth es-
tates." The effects of this statute became so
alarming, that the people submitted to the
English revolutionary razor, and found it
more convenient to resign their boards than
their lands. This agrarian law was repealed
by 18th Charles l., after existing 200 years

SUFFERINGs OF Brown IN KAYsAs.-The
history of the provoking causes of Browns
Kansas career are thus stated by the Cleveland
Herald
John Brown had son, E. p. Brown, who,
near Easton that Winter $3.50, was taken
prisoner by the Missouri rufiians and confined
in store. Then it was an express visited
Fort Leavenworth, and begged that United
States troops might go to the spot and save
Brown from being murdered. That was re-
fused, and refused, too, in compliance with pos
tive orders from Washington. What follow.
ed Captain L. z. Brown was helpless and
alone in the power Of the pro-slayery men ;
that band of rufflans struck him, and he rose
to his feet and asked to be permitted to fight
the best man among them-he would fight for
his liie-but the towards dared not give him
that chance Brown then dared any two or
three Of them TO fight him, but the towards
would not comply with that request.
Then the fiends in human shape rushed upon
the unarmed, defenceless Brown, and actually
hacked him to pieces with their hatchets. A
stakeholder, named Gibson, dealt the fatal
blow, burying hatchet in the side of Browns
mead splitting his skull for inches and scatter.

SWORD AND Gown. BY the author of Guy
Livingstone" Boston: Ticknor & Fields. In
many respects this is a work of great interest
and power, fresh, vigorous, energetic in tone
aud unexceptionabe in its tendency. The
characters are very human, and Royston Keene
and Cecil Tresilyou perfect specimens of ply
steal strength and beauty. The author seems
to have a great admiration for all sports that
tend to develop muscular strength, and one of
his most noticeable defects is, tendency to
bring the slang of the stables, the race-course,
and the hunt into the parlor. We might also
notice tendency to indulge in anecdote and
speculation on topics rather foreign to the in
terest of the story, but these bemishes are
easily corrected, and we shall look with much
interest for the next volumes from the same

The Battle Of the SparS.-But there is one
incident of his recent career in Kansas, which
was laughable i'll its character and which has
never been narrated in the Eastern journals
tie took party of slaves from the vicinity of
Atchison. The owners and pro-savery rabble
were indignant at him when they heard of it.
and organized formidable party to pursue
him. The sheriff, pro-savery man, went
with them, armed with the parchment terrors
of the law.
They soon overlook the fugitives! Brown,
with Kagi and others, instantly drew up in
limo of battle to receive them and although
less than one-fourth in numerical force, it was
evident that they intended to conquer or to die
in defence of the negroes.
The Sheriff, seeing the old mans prepara-
tions, with prudential courage, wheeled round
his horse and gallOped off. Dozens of his fol-
lowers initiated his example. There was one
company, however, thatrefused to fly. Brown
captured them. He caused them to dsmount,
and put the negroes on their horses They
swore. Old Brown ordered them to be silent,
as he would permit no blasphemy in his pres
ence.
They swore again. "Kneell" said the old
man, as he drew his pistol with stern earnest
ness, which left no room to doubt his inten-
ton. They knelt down, and he ordered them
to pray He detained them for five DAYS, and
compelled them to pray night and morning
They never swore again in Old Browns pres
ence!
They returned to Atchnson; one OF them
indiscreetly told the story the ridicule that
overwhelmed the others, compelled them, /
was recently informed, to leave town.

The HORACE MANN SrArUE.-The at
tempt made in the House of Representatives
to defeat the wishes of the friends of the late
Horace Mann, to erect his statue upon the
State House grounds, is still urged with sin.
gular pertinacity. The resolve relating to the
statue was sent to the Senate last week, with
two amendments, one inserting the names of
the committee to whom the subject had been
entrusted, the other requiring the consent of
the Legislature in power when the statue is
completed. The Senate concurred with the
first amendment, but non-concurred with the
second The resolve was returned TO the
House on Saturday, when it insisted upon its
previous action, after a warm discussion. by n
vote OF " to 49, Three of the Representa-
uves from this city voted in favor of This
restraint upon the action of the commit-
tee. The Senate, on Monday aoain
refused to yield to the demand of the House,
and the resolve was returned. 1t is sgniG.
cant that the amendment was sustained with
unusual zeal by the united democratic renre.
sentation, and only prevailed through the ur.
gent and unexpected cooperation which they
received from the Republican side Of the
House. II is not unlikely that the subject will
be referred to the next Legislature, which will
be quite as certain 10 treat it respectfully rs

AN EXQUISITE SwINDLER AND A VERDANT
NIorlM.-A fashionable young man has just
been before the Recorders Court in Phiadel
phia. ltappears that human being endowed
with reason, having become possessed Of five
hundred dollars, wished to invest it, and ac-
cordingly advertised for offers AS might
have been anticipated, he received an mmedi-
ate answer, which informed him that he could
make 100 per cent. by an Investment which
would be suggested at a personal interview
Inc fashionable young man was the cores
pendent. A personal interview was had. The
fashionable young man showed Mr. Verdant
Hreen quarter eagle, stating to him that he
could and would sell a quantity of coin pre-.
clsely similar and in every respect equally
good, at the rate Of four hundred dollars in
quarter eagles, for two hundred dollars in
bankablc money. Green took the specimen to
broker or n chemist, who told him that it was
perfectly good. He accordingly paid to the
fashionable young man two hundred dollars,
upon which the latter stepped out to bring the
coin. Not returning, Green became impatient
and applied to the police. Hence the arrest.
