PiPER's OPgRA HoUsE-" MEDEA."-
The popular and celebrated tragedy en-
titled "Medea" was presented last even
ing at the Opera House, before n large
and highly appeciative audience. The
cast was II strong one, and well sus-
tanned throughout. No piece was ever
carried through smoother. The actors
all knew their parts, and performed
them, too, no prompting or dragging
being apparent. Miss lnce, rs "Medea,'
was thoroughly, p~assiOnately, tcrrcntly
natural and effective and Edwards per-
sonated Jason in n finished, artistic
manner, such asis expected from II first
class leading actor and Mrs. Reach, as
Creusa, Mrs. Stewart, ms lauthe, and Il.
G.. Marsh, as Creon, each succeeded
admirably. Miss Ince was complimcnted
with a hearty call before the curtain,
when the cheers and plauditS OF the au-
dience fully attested their well pleased
appreciation Of her true merits as an
actress. The afterpiece, /" Irish ASsur-
ance and Yankee Modesty," was indeed
a laughable farce, and we are pleased to
see that it is, to be repeated tonight.
Miss Louise Arnot, as Nancy Stokes,
makes one Of the gayest aRd.most piquant
Yankee girls imaginable, in this piece,
and introduces a song and dance which
is Just the queerest and most l~aughable
thing out. It only needs to be seen in
order to be fully appreciated. George
Marsh, as Pat, the cheeky, mischief
making, fun.loving freshman, was capi-
tai and Mrs. Stewart, as Miss Buffer,
succeeded admirably. The Lady OF
Lyons" will be given as the first piece
tonight, with Miss Ince rs Pauline, and
Edwards as Claude Melnottc. Another
full house may be looked for, therefore
it is a wise p~recaution to secure reserved
seats in advance, which "a be done on
application at the box office OF the
theater.
SMALL-Pox AID IT'S CURE.-ln view OF
the sudden increase of smallpox ut the
present time, not only in this vicinity,
but in other parts of the country, in
duced, doubtless, by the recent stormy,
disagrceable spell of weather, we SUBJ
init for the consideration of our readers
the following remedy, recently commu-
nicated BY a correspondent of the Stock
ton (Cal.) Herald: a. herewith append
A recipe which has been used 20 my
knowledge in hundreds Of cases. 1t will
prevent or cure the smallpox though
the pit,ings are filling. When Jenner
discovered the cow-pox in England, the
world Of science hurled an avalanche OF
fame upon his head, but when the most
scientific school Of medicine in the world
that of Paris-published this recipe
as a a for smallpox it passed
UNDECIDED. 1t is as uufailing rs fate and
conuuers in every instance. II IS harm
less when taken by Il well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the
recipe rs have used it, and cured my
children Of the scarlet fever; here 1t Is
as I have used it to cure the smallpox;
when learned physicians said the patient
must die, it cured: SulphNte OF zinc,
one grain; foxglove (~digitalis) ono grain;
half a teaIpoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfnls Of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces OF
water. Take q spoonful every hour.
Either will disappear in twelve hours.
For n child, small doses, according to
AGE. II countries would compel their
musicians to use this, there would be
no need Of pest-houses. II you value
advice and experience, use this Tor that
terrible disease"
JAYuAwx AND BILSENALL.-The Mo-
hawk and Montreal Consolidated Gold
and Silver Mining Company have post
poned the time for declaring delinquent
their last assessment of So per share
until March "a. The reason OF thls
probably is that the stockholders, AFTER
continually paying similar assessments
on il for the last three or four years
with \ fine prospect of m indehhiIe
continuance Of the same, ARE Mt ength
bac;nning to lose faith in the eihcient
infringement thereof. The Virginia
stockholders were all frozen out before
This last assessment was levied, there
fore the number is small OF those re-
naming to pay the expenses OF worSimS
tho MIN and the salaries OF the OIL
GERS. The stock is now nearly or quite
all held by parties Jul GA"
