MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

N1adRme seebach ms "AdrIenne Lecouvreur."
Scribe's play of Adrienne LecouUreur which
was performed last evening at the Academy of
Music, possesses many advantages over either
of the pieces In which Madame Seebach had
previously appeared. It is not q rehash of
eomebody else's ideas, like the adaptation of
Jane Eyre, and 10 is not a poem like Mary
Stuart, but 1t is an acting play, written expressly
with view to stage representation, and in its
characters, its plot, and its striking situations
the most accomplished French dramatist of the
day has shown his sknowledge of the requirements
of stage effect In an unmistskable manner.
Adrienne Lecouureur has much of the breadth
of meodrama and while 1t scarcely rises to the
dignity of legitimate tragedy, tits distinguished
by delicacy of treatment that approaches the
higher forms of art and the title role especially,
with its varying emotions is one that is admi-
rably suited for the exhibition of the powers of
such an artist as Madame Seebach. The per
sonation of "Adrienne" by this actress last
night was in every respect rarely beautiful
performance, and the tenderness and grace of
the interview between "Adrienne" and 'Mau-
rice" in the green-room were only surpassed by
the tragic intensity of the scene where the
actress, in her recitation of passage from
PhRdre, hurls defnance at her rival, and in the
sad but beautiful ending of the play, where
"Adrienne," dying from the effects of the poi
soned flowers that have been sent her by the
"Princess' finds her lover at her feet, and expires
happy in the knowledge that he has been true
to her from first to last.
Madame Seebach was admirably supported by
her company, the performances of Mld'lle
Veneta as the princess" and Mr.. Dombrowski
as Maurice" in particular being up to a very
high standard of excellence.

is Of some importance to the liquor merchants Of this
and other cities to know that MIR. Dalys stock en-
braces the productions Of the celebrated dis
tlleries belonging to Thomas Moore & Son,
Joseph s. Finch & Co., and Thomas
Moore. Their Whistles are always made from
the best grains, double copper distilled and put
up In seasoned, heaviy-charred, ron-bOund barrels.
As agent, therefore, OF these well-known firms, Mr..
Daily justly claims that he can supply the trade with
the finest whisky in the market and in the original
packages received direct from the manufacturers.
This he will vouch for, and this is point which de-
serves the notice OF all purchasers. 913tuths26t

Life or Death.
From the Newman (GeorgIal Herald.
Mr.. f. Douglass, of this city, was re.
Gently the owner of q mastiff, which he had
raised, n which was about two years and
a half old, aud no doubt the largest dog in
the country.
On Monday evening Mr.. Douglass was
attempting to drive some chickens into his
garden, but the dog occupied the gate and
would not let them pass him. Mr.. Doug
lass ordered him away, but the mastiff
several rocks at him, Wien he took refuge
under the kitchen. III 8 moment more Mr..
Douglass saw his dog. with lean steps and
glaring eyes, advancing slowly toward him
for fight. Our friend seeing that he could
not stop the dog by words or gesture, at
once prepared to defend himself, as flight
was impossible. AS soon as the dog was
near him he arose on his hind feet and at
temptedto seize Mr.. Douglass by the throat.
Their ensued Il combat between the man
and dog OF about ten minutes duration,
and which for tierceness scarcely has 4
parallel in such encounters. Mr.. Douglass

the throat, and as soon rs his left hand was
released from the grip of the dog he seized
his under jaw with it. Knowing from every
circumstance that the combat would be a
lengthy one, as soon as the first excitement
had subsidized Mr.. Douglass ordered his
family to close every door of his dwelling
but one. towards which he gradually but
slowly drew the dog. Before reaching the
steps in. front of the open door the dog had
for 4 short time partially disengaeed HIM
self and bit Mr. Douglass severely OIL the
left thigh.
By this time CIR friend became calm and
collected, and promptly rescued the dog
by the under jaw and throat, and then be-
gan again to draw the brute toward the
open door. Finally he had reached the
door-steps, which were about five leet
high, and began TO walk up them backward,
and when at the top he, by summoning all
his strength and by one violent effort. T.. rev

the animal could recover his feet and arcend

At last, finding ingress impossi; r., he
took his position and watched the door

he entered the yard. In the mean time the
Rev.: Mr.. Hall, q neighbor, CAME to Mr..

closely at the Leaf, and after examining the
papers of soil picked out the right one

owner, if en- expert, could nthis way iden-

would show, was the soil in which it grew.
