in sustan ming homo manufactures, and

for wooden goods exclusively to the "Da-

three months his orders at those mills have
amounted to several thousand dollars per
month. To supply this one demand, we
learn tha. a number Of the looms are run

Thetown has been startled by the news
of another theatrical revolution. 1t seems
that on the 9th of next February, by q
contract which was formally concluded
yesterday, Mr.. Fisk, the new proprietor
Of Pixies Opera House, will undertake to
solve the problem whether a railway di-
rector or thester manager is the more
or the less certain of success. It must
be conceded that he has secured favor
able guarantees of success in having in
duced Mr.. Tsyleure, the enterprisiug
and fortunate manager of the Olympic
Theaier, to devote himself for two
years to the task Of establishing
the popularity of the superb opera
house at the corner of TEenty-third
street aud Eighth avenue. Twenty
years of professional experiences aud the
prestige Of "Humpty Dampty's" mar
velous success may we'll justify the con-
fidence Of Gr. Tayleure in his new M
dertsking. Mr.. Taylezre will soon visit
Europe with a view to the completion Of
certain arrangements which be has
already planned, and on the lst Of
March be proposes 70 open the cam
paigu with a series Of Shakespesrian
spectacular representations. Il isl
ssid that one feature Of the new regime
at Pixies will Be a uBiiorn price OF 6fty
