III the play of ''Naval Engagements" on
Saturday evening last, gave by far the most
interesting entertainment since their organ
ization. Mr.. Townsends appearance upon
the stage was welcomed with hearty applause.
He appeared in the role of the sold Admiral
which character he rendered in manner
wholly creditable to himself, and if we may
Judge from the frequent outbursts of applause
to the entire satisfaction of the large audi
ence present cold Man, " is this gentleman's
speciality, and as such, he has few equals up
the stage. Manager Healey, as Lieut..
Kingston, - gave US the lukewarm and. ardent
lover, the dutiful, affectionate, violent and
| irascible son, in his most pleasing style
Miss Nellie Sandford, with whom we are in
formed the association have made permanent
engagement, isa very pretty actress; sings
pretty, acts pretty, dances pretty, and dress
es-well, at least, it cannot be said that
Nellie oger dresses her characters; she is gay,
and volatile, and her appearance upon the
stage Is the signal for perfect storm OF
applause. The amateurs of the company
show marked Improvement and give evidence
of close study and determination on their
part, to merit the very liberal patronage be-
slowed upon their enterprise, by our citizens;
especially is this true Of Miss Reeve; as Mary
Mortimer, she was entirely perfect in her
part and showed fine conception of the
character, AS she becomes more accstomed
to the glare of the foot-lights, and embarrass-
ment wears away, her progress will become
more rapid, and we predict her soon to be-
come favorite with the public. Her sing
ing is liable to criticism; though possessed Of
a fine voice, it requires cultivation before tits
attuned for the public ear. Mrs. Healey as
Mrs. Pontifex, gave us a fine PRESERVATION Of
the ''fair and forty" widow. She has mod
est, lady-like bearing upon the stage, but
should, however, endeavor to give more
distinct Inference to her words, in order to be
of the company deserve, and will receive our
notice hereafter.
: We wish to suggest to the manager that the
unearthly, doubly- distilled locomotives like
, screening, by score or more of boys, every
time the curta in drops, isa nuisance, which
should, if possible, be abated. 1t may how
ever have been thought appropriate, to the
!, occasion, by the boys-that during "Naval
Engagement" we should hear the screech
ing of the shells, and only sought to supply
this little omission on the part of the mana
ger. Undoubtedly such is the case, and we
have to say that they succeeded most admir-
ably; yet we do not think, with this accom-
paniment, that "Nayal Engagements -
would ever be, ''by special request'' called for
the second time in civilized community.

AFTER a cold ride into the country, Friday
?. M, and before starting for home on Satur.
day morning, / had the pleasure of seeing
some fine stock belonging to John Gates, OF
South Bristol. Mr.. Gates owns a farm of 20C
acres, which is scarcely excelled in fertility
and cultivation by any other in the coun.
try. His farm would be well adapted to dai.
ry business, for there are two ever living
springs upon it, one of which is superior to
almost any other in the country. He does
not, however, CO mine his farming to any one
branch of the business, to the exclusion OF
Others On the contrary, he raises grain and
other vegetable productions of various kinds,
including different kinds of fruits horses,
cattle. sheep. swine and poultry
Mr.. Gates's stock is all good, and is well
worth seeing. 1t was to his leicester sheep.
however, my attention was particularly di-
rectcd One Of his Liecesters took the
premium of $40 at the State Fair year ago
last FAN. And Gas should Judge of the mer-
its Of the sheep, / should think the premi-
UNI was justly awarded. The wool seems to
be as fine, soft and silky as the best Merino
fret from the oil or gum which gives to the
Merino its dirty appearance, ard three or
four times as long as Merino wool
The leicester seems to cross well with the
common coarse-wooled sheep. Two yearling
lambs in Mr.. Gates flock, of such a cross,
exhibited wool which seemed to me nearly
Or quite as fine, glossy and long as the full.
blood leicester. And from the size of the
ycarlings, should expect the cross to pro,
duce larger sheep than the full blooded
Leicester
Unfortunately Mr.. Gates has been confined
TO his room for five or sixweeks, and was un.
able to accompany me to see his stock Hi:
hired man, however, supplied his place very
acceptably. And by quie tude and good care,
it is to be hoped Mr.. Gates will soon be re-
stored to his usual good health.

more largely the spirit of benevolence The
past record of the city of Kenosha justifes
this remark. But desire to say that there
lives in the First Ward of this city, east of
Exchange street, poor woman--I say Hues,
but she suffers more than death every day,
and has no hope of recovery. She has been
obliged to sit on a chair day and night fer
nearly two years, it being impossible for her
to occupy any otherposition. The sleep she
gets is by leaning her head forward on a ia
Bile. Her husband was killed on the Lake
Shore Railroad; he had served two years as
volunteer in the late Union army. She is
very poor; has no relatives able to render her
assistance. beg my sister friends of Keno.
sha to bestow their sympathy and kind aid,
and not to allow her to suffer for the absolute
