"Mr. AlbauHh's friends who crowded
the Opera House last evening TO wit
ness his rendition OF Hamlet, may we'll
be proud OF him. His performance OF
Hamlet was superb, We have not the
space to give thorough critlque, and
can allude to only few scenes. We
have seen manga Hamlet, who, on the
first appearance OF their fathers spirit,
has thrown himself In all the straining
voclferation requisite to express rage
and fury, and the house has Numbered
with applause, though 10 the misEuId-
ed actor, who was all the time tearing

this scene with pause OF mute amaze.
ment, then rising slowly to solemn,
trembling voice, he made the Ghost
equally terrible to the spectator as TO
himself"
Friday evening Is the last night OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Albaugh. We sincerely
hope they will have a crowded house
on the occasion OF their benefit ard
last appearance.

The Effects Of Tobacco.

pion, writes the following letter TO the
Springfield Republican
Now and then we hear Of little gibes in
your paper at our expense. We do not
complain, because they subserVe good
end-they promote discussion. Agitation
we must have in order to fasten attention

Mr.. Beecher on Living.

In late number of the New York
Ledger Henry Ward Beecher has an
amusing article in which he discusses the
question whether men can remember
what never happened. He shows that
such stretch Of memory is possible by
one or two instances. We extract q part
Of the article;
Some eighteen or nineteen years ago,
soon after coming to Brooklyn, heard
the following story told Of the now ven
cradle Dr.. Samuel Cox, the father Of many
brilliant sayings, as well as of Bishop Cox,
Of Western New York. The story ran
thus; "0n Sunday morning in August,
DR.. Cox, rising to the sermon, without
warning or prefix, began, 1t is id hot.
Looking around in calm and pious way,
he wiped his forehead, and again said, IT is

words had burnt in, be proceeded, THESE

the use of rank poison. About fifteen
years ago we gave lecture on the South
Shore, in which we aimed to show that,
as the common use Of tobacco diminished
appetite, diminished blood, muscle, health
and strength, 1t must necessarily abridge
life, and If 30, the habit amounted to
suicide in the constructive sense;
hence 1t was violation Of the
sixth commandment, which says:
"rhou shalt not KILL" and hence a
