THEATRICAL the theatre tonight Mr.. Coles
company will appear in the beautiful drama
of "Clouds and Sunshine" and the extrava-
ganza of the Industrious Stranger" We are
glad that they have made change from the
Lancashire Lass" which was announced on
Thursdays programme for this evening. 1t
has always been matter of great surprise to
us that most OF the companies who play brief
engagements in this city should undertake to
bring out pieces in Deering Hall which depend
so materially upon elegant scenery. As pro-
duced at Wallaek's in New York, and Selwyn's
10 Boston, with all the art of the scene painter
lavished upon it at great expense, the "Lanca-
shire Lass contrived to draw large audiences,
but as play it was almost universally con-
demned by the best critics as not being worth
the money spent upon it. We make these re-
| marks with no feeling of uukindness towards
the managers, who are no doubt actuated by
the best of intentions in wishing to place be-
fore their patrons all the noveltis of the great
cities, but they defeat their own ends. They
draw, it is true, a class of people who have
never seen anything better, but they lose a
large number Of discriminating people who
| know what good acting is, and how play
should be placed upon stage. 1t would be
far better to produce plays that have stood the
test of time from their own merit, of not too
great length, adapted as near as possible to the
capabilities of their stock, and not really de.
| pendent upon scenery. BY this means we
think they might be sure of good houses, al
though we are well aware that Deering Hail.
in its present condition is fearful bugbear to
many real friends to the drama The perform
ance should commence by 7 ~ o'clock, punct-
ually, and end by 10 l O..

RoBBRRIEs IN HoLLIs.-We understand that
very recently several robberies have been COM
United in Hollis, but the perpetrators remain
ed undiscovered until a few days ago, when q
burgarious attempt was made upon store in
the village, and an effort made to blow open
the safe. Through circumstances, it is not
thought best to publish at present, it was as
certained that gang of several men, who
were attired in fashionable clothes, and had the
appearance Of Gentlemen, and who had been
stopping Mt the Prehle Hnpse in this city, and
the Biddeford House, in Biddeford, had
hired team and taken up their quarters in
Hollis without exciting any suspicion that
would belle their seeming respectable charac-
ter. One of the men, who, we are told, gave
the name of Milliken, was arrested, but the
others have so tar evaded capture, although we
are given to understand that the whereabou
of two of them are known, and that it will not
be long time before II ey are made familiar
with the stone walls of a goal.

Trial of the Adams Express Robbers.

BrolOnstoun, Ind, august 13.-The Circuit Court
of jackson county, Hon. g. A. Bicknell presiding
had before il to-day the case of the robbers of the
Adams Express, Mike Callersn and Wall Ham,
mond charged with robbng the company by jump
ing on the express car and overpowering the mes
senger, on the night of September 8, 1868, near
Seymour, Ind. Both prisoners were defended by
the notorious Jason Brown, the celebrated thieves
lawyer, of jackson county, whose boast is that no
thief whom he defended had ever been convicted
Calleran, however, in opposition to the advice of
his COUNSEL entered plea of guilty, and was SEN
fenced by the court TO five years in the penientiary
and fine Of five hundred dollars Hammond, I'M
der the advice of his counsel, applied for contin
uanee, which, under the statutes of Indiana the
court had power TO override, and it was accord
ingly granted.
Jason Brown has gained an unenviable reputa-
ton as defender of the Renos, and the very worst
class of murderers, sssassns and thieves.
The vigilance committee had given Ip all further
attention TO the criminal cases. relying the court
being able &c enforce order. This now, however,
upsets all, as Coleran willing to take the wit
ness stand and testify in regard to Ham monds COM
plcity with him in the robbery alluded to. Il now
appears as though the vigilance committee would
again have 70 take affairs into their hands, and
mete out summary punishment on the thieves and
the thieves counsel.

Bold Robbery at st. Louis.

ST. Louis, August lathe Adams Express Com.
pany was robbed of about 81, 900 this morning. II
appears that two men rented an office the second
floor of No. ia Second street. yesterday, and put
out sign of B. f. Goodrich s. Co. By last nights
train the Express Company received package from
Odin, Illinois, addressed as above, purporting to
contain $l47.70. This package was delivered by
the messenger, who while waiting for receipt, was
seized by the throat by a man in the office and
another administered chloroform to him. The mes
senger struggled violently, and not yielding readily
to the influence of the chloroform, struck three
heavy blows on the head with an iron bar and
knocked senseless The robbers then rihed the mes
sengers pouch of its contents and escaped. The
package was no doubt bogus one, and the whole
affair put up job. No clue has yet been found Of
the robbers The messenger, Isaiah Cross, is badly
hurt having three ugly wounds on his head and a
severe injury on one hand.

BRICK PoMERoY.-This sagacious States
man" and editor is an authority in the
Democratic party His paper of July 6,
says:
What have the Blairs in common with
the Democratic party? They all eontribu-
ted, to the extent of their ability, to widen
the Gulf and increase the bitterness between
the North and the South, which led to the
late tremendous commissions. 1t is this
Blair family, whose history is thus truth
fully sketched, which now claims position
and a voice in the Democratic party, and
even assumes to dictate its nomination for
the Presidency. In fact, it has the modesty
to claim the nomination for one of its own
members-the butcher Of St. Louis the
nice young gentleman who so adroitly bal
anced between the Speakership and brig
adler generalship, and to whom Lincoln so
kindly tossed the latter when the former
was not to be caught. Has the democratic
party fallen so low as to be used by such
creatures2 Is it so craven as to allow such
fellows to say what it shall do or what it
shall not do?
In regard to Seymour the same writer,
in his paper of June End, said
What beautiful fix we should be in were
we to adopt Governor Seymour's views, re
affirming in substance the Jaeobin platform
upon the financial question. How grandly
we could rally the masses Out upon the
thought Spurn all such suggestions! Treat
as enemies all who would counsel such sui
cidal policy Away with the insidious adj
vice of those who woald delude, betray and
ruin us 1t is false to Democracy! 1t is
treason to the country 1t is death to our
Ihnrf,r
