CASE OF CURTAIN Observation-Disclosures
are not always perfection, especially
after being married for twelve month
or so. Mr.. Collins is living evidence Of
the truth of the assertion. Mrs. Collins
knowing the imperfections of her worst
half, thought to give him curtain lee
tsre, but instead Of behind the curtain
she preferred to administer the dose in
the streets, for which liberty she was
fined FIVE dollars. The amount was paid
by her husband, the whole matter being
quite dear thing to him.

The New MEMPHIS THEATER.-On Sat-
urday evening last closed the engagement
of Mrs. Mary Gladstane, whose stage
performance was 10 high degree salts
factory to the public, as we'll as remuner-
alive to the management. The character
of Nancy Sykes was selected for the
closing entertainment and was per-
formed after Mrs. Gladstaues usual
affecting style, when the char
acter so requires to be played.
We never we're much admirers of the
book "Oliver Twist" and think the
dramatizer conferred quite favor on the
author, when the characters of the work
we're made suitable for the stage yet the
evening passed away somewhat to the
enjoyment of all. This evening will
be the occasion of the first benefit Of
Mile Turnour, and from the host Of ad-
mirers that she has won since coming
to Memphis, we have little idea but
what the house will be crowded. The
Queen of the Air will do an extra number
of daring feats that will astonish the
already astonished community. Mr..
Theo. Hamilton takes his benefit on
Wednesday night, and Mrs. flanagan
hers on Friday night. We hope to see
the thsater we'll patronized this week, as
il should be.

The deceased was all that fond and Affection
ate wife, mother or friend could he, considering
the frailtics Of human nature. She had been q
consistent member Of the Church for many years,
and Il was hcr delight to meet the people Of God
In tho classroom and AZ the eommnnion table,
whert she partook Of the Joys unspeakable and
fnll Of glory. During her last illness her constant
desire was to depart and 90 to Jesus. Il am
going home, home 10 glory" and "don't weep for
me, for am going home TO Jesus" were frequent
expressions, and she continued 70 eKhort all her
friends and ncighbon 20 meet her in Heaven.
''she Is not dead, but sleepeth"
"Ehe rests-a fond mother Is gone;"
Her smile, II will greet Us no morei
Her spirit has found IT, reward,
Where pleasures shall reign evermore.
''No tear can DER shadow The eye,
No sigh shall e'er trouble the breast
But freed from the trials Of earth,
In peace her rapt spirit shall rest
"A mother her mission has filed,
Her life sheds heavenly rnyj
Those adectionate duties are Ger;
She has passed from her labors away.
The path which the Christians hath trod;
How sweet is the sleep Of the just,
Who rest In the smiles Of their God"

commute The death penalty, IN certain

4" any term Of years as TO him shall be
q" deemed just and proper" This bill
was intended 70 apply to cases where
strong doubts arise after conviction
las in the case Of Eaton) whether the
party convicted has been guilty Of
murder in the first degree and would,
when exercised with due care and
caution, in many instances, have saved
the courts and the officers Of the law
from tho imputation Of hanging inno-
cent persons. But the Governor pro-
baby thought that after prisoner
has undergone all the expenses Of
arrest, confinement, trial and convic-
tion in the courts, he will not often be
in financial condition TO offer very
profitable inducements for Executive
clemency when his case reaches Har-
risburg; and hence the veto.

The following item from the West
Branch bulletin, win give some idea
OF the progress Of the lumber trade on
the Susquehanna:
The streams up the river are in fine
condition. The logs are coming out
in great quantities. The river from
Lock Haven TO Clearfeld presents q
constant drift Of logs Benefits
Branch is in the best floating eondi-
tion, and most of the landings are al.
ready broken, and the backed floods
in Hix's, Dents, Melick's, Trout,
Laurel, Kersey, Wilson's, Mountain
Branch and Elk Creek runs, keep up
a constant influx Of logs into The
main stream, and the prospect now is
that the logs viii be cotton out more
expeditiously and at a cheaper rate
than ever before.
The boom never was in such CON-
plcte order as now, aud thus far it has
caught all the logs that have arrived,
including those escaped from the Lock
Haven boom. They are packing fno-
ly, and it is estimated that S0,000,00O
Of feet are already in. There is every
prospect Of one Of the finest seasons
that we have ever had. We learn
that there is now on its way the
largest drive ever foated down the
river. 1t is estimated at l50,000,000
of feet. We may soon look for 250.
600, 900 feet in our boom. That
means lively business.
