ohio Man Maltreated in Buffalc

Ohio Man Maltreated in Buffalo
The Buffalo Express, of last week, says:
yesterday cattle drover named James
Rowe, from the town of Clyde, Ohio, made
complaint at the Office of the Superintendent
of Police against two men named Lynn and
Adam, for assault and battery. The story,
as told by Mr.. Rowe, is that having sold his
stock, he was about 10 return home, and
purchased through ticket, intending to
take the 40 train. Having been broken of
his rest for two or three nights in succession,
hewent into one of the cars standing on the
track and sat down, when a man came
through the car wit lantern and told him
to take the next car if he wished to go to
Erie Mr.. Rowe did so, and feeling per-
fectly sure that he was in the right car, pulled
off his boots and settled himself down for a
nap. He soon fell asleep, and the train was
made mp and started for Erie, leaving the
car in which he was sleeping standing in the
depot. The weary drover did not awaken
until aroused by the two men above mem
toned, who, he says, applied to him oppro-
briOus epitbets, seized him by the throat,
chOked him and banged him about in a
manner that was far from sgreeable."

Dramatio.--The Excelsiors drew large
houses on the first aud second nights of the
presentation of "Ten Nights in Bar Room, :"
and on Saturday evening the house was good
for SO stormy an evening. The play, as
well as the farces which spiced the entertain
ment, was we'll received and was certainly
played for all it was worth. The old MEM
bers of the club showed a decided improve
ment on their former appearances, acting
with more force and spirit and more natural
ness, and those who appeared for the first
time acquitted themselves creditably. Some
parts of all the plays were over done-the
bar room scenes, we instance for example,
when nearly all the prominent characters
appeared very drunk, and yet made too long
and clever speeches for their maudlin condi-
tion-and the last scene in "Ten nights was
somewhat stiff and formal. On the whole
however the club may congratulate them
selves in having made a decided shit" with
their audiences, and every body votes
the performance the best the club has yet
given to the public. Little MErTIE DEAL,
who appeared for the first time, as MARY
Morgan" deserves mention for the simple and
childlike rendering of her part. She was
favorite throughout the play and the scenes
in which she appeared were touchingly
beautiful.
We hear rumors that ''Ten nights in bar
ROOM will be produced on some future occa-
sion. 1t will bear repetition better than
any thing the club have put on the boards be-
fore this season.

copy of this beautiful edition of the prince of
novelists, we are more and more charmed.
The print though small, is perfectly legible

them the Chicago journal says:
Mr.. Eytinge is one of onr youngest Amer

praise in all quarters where criticism is con-
