THE THEATRE.-The approaching dra-
matte season under the management of Mr..
John 7. Ford has already been noticed in
these columns. The Theatre will be opened
on Monday evening with Lester Wallack's g
celebrated play of "Rosedale or, The
Rifles Ball." which has been successfully
presented night after night in northern
cities. Mr.. Ford will bring with him the
entire dramatic company of the Holiday
street Theatre, Baltimore, including several
star performers. Among the latter is Miss
Blanche De Bar, granddaughter Of the
elder Booth, daughter of Mrs. Clemen-
tina De Bar, so we'll known to habitue5 of
our little Theatre in days past. Miss De
Bar is said to be young, pretty, and talent
ed, and has won an enviable reputation in
Baltimore and in western cities. Mr..
Charles Barron is considered q highly &C
complished tragedian, and is greatly eulo-
sized for his rendition Of Shaksperian cha
racters. This troupe will give US taste of
the legitimate drama during their engage
ment.

REPORT CoNTRADICTED.-1no our issue Of
yesterday mention was made Of 8 report
in regard to one of our citizens, which had
been widely circulated and gained general
credence. This morning we are happy to
announce that we believe the charges re-
ferred to are without foundation. The re-
port originated, probably, with some mali
cious persons months ago, and came to the
knowledge of the interested parties, but
not in such form as to make the discovery
of its author an easy task, or to justify any
public notice. Gentlemen Of the highest
standing in the community have now fur
nished US with satisfactory evidence Of the
falsity of the report. One of them was
acquainted with the person spoken Of in the
State and county South where he resided
before he came to Richmond as @ soldier !;
knew that he was an unmarried man; that
he stood well in the esteem of the people
t'.ero 90 rh~;otian gentleman. and that on
his removal to this city he brought the
most satisfactory testimonials in regard to
his social standing.

TOBACCo.-Correct information respect
ing the tobacco crop of the State Of Virgil
mia is of great interest in many points Of
view. So is information respecting the
crop of cereals, for now more than ever
are these crops of vital Importance to the
prosperity Of our people. Some of the
most valuable books containing tobacco
statistics were destroyed in the disastrous
fire of April 8, 1865, and therefore it is now
impossible to get in ertensO the intorma-
ton they contained. In future, however,
there is no reason why correct and tho
roughly accurate tabular statements should
not be compiled at the warehouses. A re-
cord, in order to present complete view of
the tobacco crop, should contain not only a
full list of the hogsheads, but likewise Of
the tierces, boxes, tubs, and other pack
ages, and loose tobacco. The weight of the
hogsheads can be averaged, and the guam
tity thus ascertained will approximate so
closely to the actual weight as to answer all
the purposes desired; but tierces, boxes,
tubs, and other packages, vary SO much
that the weights Of them ought to be sum
med up regularly. In reporting inspections,
stock, &C., loose tobacco does not seem to be
included at all. Now, this is very large
item, and to leave it out renders the state
ment of the crop anything but perfect. The
quantity of the whole crop in pounds
,oeight is what is needed, and until that IS
given the actual crop will never be known.
We make these suggestions at this mo-
ment because it is the beginning Of the
new fiscal wear.

into it respectable fraction of dollar,

FUNERAL OF JAMES Z. CAsEIE.-The
First Presbyterian church was filed yes
terday afternoon with On audience assem-
bled to pay last tribute of respect to the
late James K. Caskie. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. DR.. Moore and
Rev. DR.. Read (of whose church the de-
ceased was member), and were solemn
and deeply affecting. DR.. Moore prefaced
his discourse by reading the remarks Of
the city papers accompanying the an
nouncement of Mr.. Caskie's death, and the
resolutions of the tobacco trade in regard
to the same sad event. He then spoke feel
ingly and delicately of his own knowledge
of the character of the deceased, and of
the warm place which he held in the hearts
of his many friends. The choir sang
" Come ye disconsolate and an applro-
pirate requiem after which, the remains
we're followed to their last resting-place by
q large concourse of people. Among them
were representatives of the Masonic fra
ternity and the members of the tobacco
trade besides many prominent citizens.

call attention to the card, in another column,
of committee of the Male Orphan Society.
There are twenty-three children in the
asylum, and weekly applications for admis-

finances, are necessarily deferred till the
public respond, as we confidently believe it
will, to thisappeal ofthe committee. Wehope
every one will feel disposed to give some
thing to so good cause. AS full as the
world is of objectors, we have yet to see the
first one who has word to say against or

any one member Of the Society.

From the above it will be seen that the
amount of grain received in vessels enter
ing the Richmond Dock during the year
ending 30th of September, 1867, was 81 ,804
bushels, against 62,487 bushels for the
year ending 30th September, 1868; show
ing an excess this year Of 1853 bushels.
And that the amount exported in vessels
leaving the Richmond Dock for the year
ending Both September, 1867, was $50
bushels, against 3S5,738 bushels for the
year ending 30th September, 1868; show
ing an excess this year of $50, 0,16S bushels.
In the record kept for last year there
is no rye stated, and corn and oats were not
kept separate. =, -. .....-.,...,.
In this connection ne would say that it
is of great importance that Immediately
after the end of each month, quarter, and
year, the railroad, steamboat, and canal
agents and custom house officers should
make up the lists of inward and outward
freight, SO that parties desirous of making
up statistics affecting the interests of the
city should be able to procure them. In
cities North, as may be seen from the re-
ports of their Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade, not only is every facility
for obtaining statirtios afforded hItt they
are furnished to those institutions by the
agents of all lines of communication. We
earnestly trust that some satisfactory sys-
tenn will be introduced here.

A DOMESTIC DIFFIcULTY.-Peter Dixon
and Lucy his wife, both bacon-colored, and
well advanced in life, have not been living
in peace of late. A few evenings ago, after
Lucy had gone to sleep, her liege lord COM
menced L" punchin of her" in the most out

her only means of defence was "sticking
him with q PIN" Thus they fought for
some time, until Lucy, vanquished, left the
house, and got out warrant against her
husband, charging him with assault and
battery. Yesterday he was before the
police court, and after hearing the facts, as
above stated, the Alderman required Peter
to give $3.50 security to keep the peace IN
future. Such are the trivial matters over
which negroes "go to law"
