the recoil that is following. Its attack on the

The result is to destroy its pretense
of being an organ, and to produce
square reputation of it by Belmont, Tilden,
and Barlow. 1t is even Inundated by the re-
pudiation of the little Washington organ of
the Blairs. But it has one serene
satisfaction. Mr.. Andrew Johnson approves
its articles and appauds its policy-nay,
more, The NGtionaI InteIligencer says so. But
the Ohio Democrats snub it by resolution.
The Southern Democrats give notice that
there must be fair play, and that Frank
Blair cannot be crowded off unless Mr..
Seymour goes too the Albany organ
rejects it, ind the Washington Cos
sips consider it's sensation already dead.

the general sentiment, the satisfaction that
was afforded to the inhabitants of this VII

adverse and often discouraging crcum-
stances. and which only the most indomi-
table industry, energy and perseverance
could have carried to anything like sue
cess, but the we'll known character of the
managers. and of many o. the singers,
seemed IL sufficient guaranty 20 the citizens
that their generous confidence would not
be abused, and consequently the perform
ers had the pleasure ofopening to a crowd
ed house composed OF such an audience as
even sParepa" the Queen of Song y
might envy. The two most difficult char
acterS the "Beggar Mother " and ..Laila,"
were truly excellent. the "apppal Of the
former TO the Mountain children ami tn.

Tive scenic effect in al its parts was
really magnificent considering the circnn-
stances and tie simplicity of the surround
ags , bat by far the most beautiful. in fact
indispensable. was the surprise OF "Laila''
ii prayer by the band ot'sFaries. and for a
moment the dingy hall seemed miniature

Art aid in giving effect to the mimicYy of
lie. Space forbi4s to do justice individu-
ally, which did it not, want Of ability would
iHterpo>e an eiiectaal bar. for none could
be distinguished where al cXcclcd.
The Orchestra contributed largely to the
Interest of the occasion. consisting as it
did of four musicians, it seemed really
metropolitan. The entertainment WAS re-
peatpd on Thursday evening when all the
characters were ably sustained while the
performers gained if not "Wreaths'' at
least, "Bouquets of Favor" and added
sill more to the reputation acquired the
previous evening.
Considered in every respect. it WAS
complete success and WAS we'll worthy of
the !au9ahle purpose for which it was un-
dertaken. and palsiel ought 10 be the

at Chlld's-hill, where board Of the thick
ness described having been fixed in an up
right position, common halfpenny dip was
fired at 1t from iowing piece. from dis
tance OF about fifteen PAGES. The candle
struck the board with its full length. and
passed through leaving u hole exactly the
shape of candle. The remains fthe can
Bile was found scatteredin pieces resembling
snow flakes on the high mound of earth in
rear OF the hoard. A second candle. when
fired from the fowling piece passed through
the board. making a circular hole. which
was however, very Jagged round the edges.
A third candle carried away large piece
"t the board nine inches long and three
inches broad, breaking away the boundary
on one side of the hole made by the first
shot. \ candle fired from rife failed to
pass through the board, the grooves of the
rifle stripping the talow from the wick az
