LOWER CoLoRADo.-The Colorado Ttmes
gives a condensed statement OF the condition
OF affairs IN the lower portion of that Terri
tory. The crops in the Arkansas Valley have
been generally good. Considerable smut an.
peared among the wheat and large quantities
have been injured by sprouting. Large por-
lions OF corn Were caught nv early frost, es-
pecially the American varieties Many new
farms have been opened this year. There are
now six Touring mills in different portions OF
the Valley, all of which are capable OF Furnish
ing superior article of -four. Three saw mills
nnd renuneratiye employment, and the Valley
is well supplied with threshing machines, two
OF which are run by steam. Several large corn
shelters. capable Of sbelling 1000 bushels per
day, are owned by the large farmers. The
prospect Of disposing of produce at remune-
ratiye prices Is very small. The contracts at
Forts Garland and Union were let below
fair prices, and one farm supplied ali
scarcely pays anything above the cost of
freighting It The usual markets are closed
ana produce bears a nominal value Little
encouragement Is given to plant crops another
season, especially as the grasshopper scourge
will likely attack the early crops. There has
been q great deal OF stock run off by thieves
the past season. When the Pacific railroad
reaches Denver, an event tolerably sure 10
happen during next July, there is little doubt
that branch road will be started southwark
along the base Of the mountains, to wards Santa
Re. This would bring the rich farming country
OF the Arkansas Valley into easy and chean
communication with Denver, and stimulate
its agricultural productions immensely. This
valley alone could supply a population of
several hundred thousand with breadstuffs.

ORIGINAL PLAY.-The editor of the Oaty Item
has written an original American play, in five
acts, called Light at Last; or, the ShddOlo on the
Easement, which will be produced by Mrs. Drew
at the Arch Street Theatre some time next
month. In the face OF so many fallures among
our playW Wrghts this is bold undertaking on
the part of Mr. Fitzgerald, but he has our best
wishes for success. The scene is laid at Lake
Killarney, and the dramatic effects are said to
BE- very hne. MIR. Milstonef and wife, actors
are the leading characters, and they are amusing
and elective.
Mrs. Drew will play "Catharine Fairlawn" an
Irish lady OF great beauty and many virtues
From first to last she will hold the sympathy of
her audience. The incidental music a fine boat
selg and chorus, and some charming dance
music will be written by Mr.. Remington Fair
lamb, one of our best composers. Due notice
will be given of the production of the play.
'THE LILY OF KILLARNEY" Benedict's new
opera, was produced at the Academy of Music
last evening by the Riching's English Opera
Troupe to large and fashionable audience. II
was complete success, and made greater hit
than the Crocn Diamonds. The cast embraced
every mem Der of the company, and all did
admirably in their parts. The LiLy of KiRdrney
will be repeated this evening.
AT THE CHEsNUT Mrs. d. p. Bowers will ap-
pear IN Marie Afatotnette, supported by the
whole company, for the last time but one.
Mr.. EDWIN FORREST appears in Metdnord this
evening" Tor the last time, at the Walnut Street
Theatre.

tlOnal attractions.

When four woodlarks are allowed to do
all the singing in the forest, and four seraphs
all the singing of heaven, then can our
churches afford to depend for singing upon
four persons who stand in the loft, with their
throats yet sore from singing at the opera,
executing their fugue tune, and torturing our
good old hymns in the following style:-
"We'll catch the fee
Wen catch the flee
Wen catch the flee-ting hour"
"Plty our pol
Pity our pol
Pity our pol-lu souls"
"He'll take the Pill
He'll take the pill
He'll take the pilgrim home"
"With reverence let the saints appear,
And boW-oW-ow before the Lord"
