. UNLIMITED MEANNEss.-Las Weel

g UNLIMITED MEANNEss.-Last week
we supposed we had mentioned the meanest
transaction that could possibly be, namely the
stealing OF the carpeting from the Episcopal
Church, but something has come to our know
ledge since then that beats it. Here it is :
One of our farmers living about q miles from
the city, drove his team into town recently
and had two new shoes put on one of his
horses. On his way home, while going down
a hill, the ewly shod horse dropped down
dead, and the farmer left the carcass by the
side of tho road, while he went home with the
live horse and sleigh, intending to get some
help to remove the dead animal. Judge of his
surprise when he returned to find that some
"beautiful bird, had stolen the new shoes from
the animal, and also its tail. We think the
person did that "can take the skates" 1t
beats Brick Pomeroy all hollow.

Hor RooTs-The hop fever is ragin 8
fearfully incur midst as well rs in other local.
ities and indeed It Is no wonder, as very small
pieces Of land set out to hops have proved
mines of wealth to the owners during the past
few years. Sank County seems to be particu-
iarly favored in the Eop line, and it has be-
come source of great profit to the people OF
that county. Where hops are the most sue
cessfully raised there of course, will you find
the best roots. To those, therefore, wishing to
purchase hop roots from young healthy, vigor-
Gus stock, we call their attention to the ad-
vertisement of Mr. Nathan W. Chrisohn &c be
found in another column.

TIE WEATHER.-There seems to be
no let up to the downward range of the Their
mometer, and cold weather is still the order Of
the day The snow storm of Saturday was
the heaviest of the season, and, although the
roads are drifted in many places, the seighing
is better than at any time before this winter.
We never remember winter of such steady
cold as this, and yet we have had but few of
what might be called tedious days, but on the
contrary, the season has been highly favorable
for outdoor work, which may be seen b the
large amount of logs and cord-wood passing
through our streets. .

WArERrowN DRAMATIC CLUB-Tbi,

| WATERTOWN DRAMATIC CLUB -Thi.
club, composed of young ladies and gentlemen
of this city, gave an entertainment last Satur
| day evening at Music Hall before a large and
appreciative audience. We think we but reit-
crate the sentiments of all who were present
when we say the pieces were exceedingly well
rendered. In the assignment of characters
excellent good judgment was displayed. TAX
en- as a whole, it was a success and promo
milton of what more practice will produce.
In Toodles, Mr. F. E. Cook assumed the char
acter of the inimitable Toodles, and it is ques-
ton IN our minds if it would admit of much
improvement At any rate, if any one thinks
he can initiate drunken man better than did
Mr.. Cook, we would like to see him do It.
The character of Mrs. Toodles, who, it will
be remembered, was so very provident for the
future, was taken by Mrs.-J. E. Cook, and was
rendered by her with as much ease, and appar-
emily rs natural as if she had been in her own
house.
Farmer Acorn found an exact counterpart in
Mr.. Andrew McElroy, who, IA :urally corpu-
lent and good-natured, was, what appeared to
us, beau ideal Of jolly and Wholesome
farmer, and a loving and generous brother.
Farmer Acorn's daughter W no was remark
able alike for modesty and sweetness of tenn
per, was played by Miss Ratke. Miss Ratke,
having been on the stage before, being mem
Der of the Concordia Society, of course, sus-
tanned her part creditably.
George, the brother Of Farmer Acorn, was
personated by Mr.. o. F. Orion The anger,
hate and vindictivenesS, afterwards detection
and thoughtfalness and finally, remorse and
forgiveness, which characterized this character,
made it an extremely difficult one, and could
be successfully personated only by those who
possess that peculiar tragical turn. If tears in
the eyes of the audience, brought forth when
he fell weeping on the grave of his father, are
any evidence, we sheuld say he mastered what
he undertook. =
Mr.. ]. Patty, as lawyer Gibbs, resembled a
lawyer very m 'lch-always in the way with
those inevitable papers, and an ardent and I'M
merciful supporter of the law, no matter at
what cost,
In the Limerick Boy, Mr.. E. W. sprague
fig uFed as Paddy Miles Boy. Mr.. Sprague
also appeared in tire character of Charles Fem
ton in Toodes, but it was evident by his quick
and ready repartees, given in the purely Irish
brogue, which several times brought down the
hoase, that Paddy Miles was his favorite char
acter.
Mr.. Henry Gee pictured Dr.. Coats, an old i,
fretful, nervous doctor, almost to perfection,
and so changed was his voice and appearance,
we doubt whether his mother would have re-
cognized him. Mr.. Coe also appeared in Toodles.
J. H. Hogey and Ed. Rack appeared in
both pieces, bat in subordinate characters.
Between the pieces Mr.. James Field sang a
popular ballad, which was loudly applauded.
We understand they contemplate playing
"Still Waters Run Deep and an afterpiece, on
Friday evening, February 2lst. We trust this
simple announcement will insure them a full
house.

ports careful narratives of events, and this
part may be called the gossip; the fun, the

the devotion Of women, the bravery Of men;
the pluck of cur heroes, the romanceand hard
