On Saturday evening next, Stuart l.
Towards Variety Troupe, will open in
Masonic Hall. This troupe is composed
of twelve performers, all of whom are
said to be excellent in their particular
departments. Connected with the
troupe is Mr.. LILLIPUr KING, one of the
most diminutive and best shaped dwarfs
we ever saw. This King of the Lilli-
puts is near II years old, and is only %
inches high, and weighs l82 pounds. He
has played very successful engagement
at Barnum's Museum, in New York, and
was regarded as the greatest living Gu
riosity in the line of dwarfs. Tom
Thumb, himself, we are informed, yields
the palm to Mr.. King.
This distinguished prodigy will take
an active part in the performances on
Saturday evening. Among o her char
acters, be will represent the "Drunkard's
Frolic," which he does as large as life
and twice as natural. Mr. King will
hardly fail to interest all who attended
the opening night of the Variety Troupe.
Masonic Hall will be made comfortable
and pleasant, and all who go on Satur-
day evening may expect to enjoy them
selves.

BURGLARIoUs ATTENPc TO ROB GIB /.
SON CoUNTY.-On Saturday morning
of last week some little excitement was
occasioned in this place in consequence
of the County Treasurer's Office having
been entered during the night and the
safe broken open. Attracted by curios.
ity and the crowd already there, we went
over to the Treaaurer's Office and there
learned the following facts: 1t appears
that some person or persons acquainted
with the safe or the make of it, had en-
tered the Office in the night, and by the
use of chisels and crow bar had sue
ceeded in cutting the rivets and prying
the bar off that extended across the
front OF the safe, directly over the lock.
Access being therefore gained to the mo-
ney drawers the thief rifed them, and
on finding the prize so very small it is
supposed he left in disgust, as the tools
he used were left behind to attest his
feelings. - 64a5ta 80. -arassss
Fortunately the Treasurer in leaving
the Office on Friday evening had taken
all but $4S in change away with him.
We understand the safe has been broken
open once or twice before. This is
strong argument in favor of the Com
missioners expanding a few hundred
dollars for good burelar.proof SAFE
