METROPOLITAN TuEArRE.-The Johnston
troupe on last evening were greeted with a
fair audience and gave the finest perfor,
nance OF the season. Tho play Of I" La
Tour do Nesle" 10 one admirably adapted
to display the talents Of the different per>
formers TO the best advantage, while the
farce Of Betsy Baker is hard to beat. As
we predicted, Dick johnston made . hit
/, the character of Moussr; as "Queen
Marguerite and Betsy Baker Mrs.
Bres!au showed versatility of talent truly
remarkable. Tonight the admissible stand.

SwINDLERs.-The Rock Island inion
cautions the public against Mrs. Bames, q
lecturess, and her benign looking husband
Their style seems to be to run number OF
bills in place, give . free lecture and
light OUT between two days without bid>
ding any body good bye. They visited Rock
Island and the result is several unsettled &C.
counts, which the unfortunate holders would
be glad to dispose of at considerably below
par. The male humbug, who does the
cheating and lying while the female does
the lecturing, IS . medium sized man, with
heavy sandy colored whiskers. He is very
we'll dressed and wears the most clerical
look Of any rascal We have met in some
time. His "wife" 10 lather small, but ie
got up in fast style, and seems to be the
best man Of the two.
TRr AGArS.-The Gazette is deeply trou.
bled about somebody who "runs this paper
In the absence Of it's editor" 1t has been
troubled ic this way several times before.
With its usual astuteness it sttempts this
morning "hefty" criticism on statements
in our river items, and says "Stop Thief
Stop Thief" or to use i.s own words SAYS
THE writer evidently mixed too much
sangls foot in his syrup" This is de-
cidedly rich in view Of the damaging report Is
in circulation about the editor> Of that "a
per. The Gazette further says "be,ter to
sleep than babble nonsense" Better to
sleep. that's 90. but not on the side Of . table
where - We hope the Gazette will study
the subject Of Prosody little before it q.
sempts another criticism, and, then, again,
