new Theater-Openipg Eight.

To cay that the opening Of the New
Theater last night was a successful event.
would hardly come up to the maIk Of
meaning inten1 led. To say that it was
most brilliant and gratifying ovation to
the drama, and substantial acknowledg-
meni of the energy and good taste dis
played by the management in tie inaugu-
ration of the season, would come nearer
doing justice 10 the occasion. Although
the announcement ofthe opening bad been
brief, and the preparaliohsl necessarily
hurried, the attendance was quite liberal
the theater being comfortably filled.
In the audience we noticed goodly num-
Der Of citizens who were the friends and
patrons Of theatricsls in the purer days of
the drama, and were pleased to see that
even the most critical among them indica,
ted their favorable opinion of the promis-
ing young actor, Edmond r. Dalton, and
the ladies and gentlemen Of the new CONF
pany by whom he was sustained.
The part of Richelieu, the Crafty
\ Cardinal, personated by Mr.. Daltopi
was we'll and smoothly done. His render
ing of this difficult Characterization un'
dertsken by young aotors-was nearly
perfect and certainly very creditabl'
piece of acting. In justice 10 Mr.. DAltor
it may be truthfully said that we hsv
seen older and more distinguished Rich
elieu's who would have nothing to gail
by comparison with his manner of per
sonating The Minister Of France. Oh
time permit, we would be glad 10 spea
in detail of the members of the compan
|, who did the minor parts, most Of whor
deserve favorable mention. Geo. s. Ora
looked and acted well as DeBarada
Miss Bette Gray did the Cardinals war
in most acceptable and easy manner. A
Orleans Miss N. Smith made handsom
brother to the king, while as Frar
co.'s, Miss Lizzie Madden was
beautiful and sprightly psge. As DeMaI
prst, Mr.. W. J. Halpin is accurate an
vigorous, and as Father Joseph, Mr.. M.
Perry looks as though he would some da
be bishop.
The management Of the company ha'
> cause to congratulate them'elves on Il
success Of their opening night. Thu
will no doubt continue to deserve the goC
opinions already won.
" The theater looks exceedingly well in
= new dress, and the new scenery look,
81 though it were the work Of master hand
" Schillel's thrilling piece, The Ro
berp," and the always acceptable fare
, married in Spite Of Himself" are on Il
y bills for TO night. For reserved seats c.
at the box Office.

Mining Advantages OF East Pennes-

A correspondent of the Miners Journsl,
Poitsville, Pa, writing from the neighbor-

careful estimate to show that pig iron can
be manufactured there at sixteen dollars
and ninety five cents, or about Twelve dol"
lars less than in Pennsylvania, and can be
delivered in Nashville for ninety dollars
per ton, or ten dollars and half per ton
less than the cost at Pittsburg. He pre-
diets that East Tennessee and Northern
Georgia and Alabama will in time become
the Wales of the American iron trade.
