THEATRE Owing to the exceedingly
unpleasant state Of the weather, last even
ing, there was not SO large an audience in
attendance at Sobel's Opera House to wit
ness Miss Fanny B. Prices impersonstion Of
''Fauchon, the Cricket" as there would
have been had 1t been more favorable. The
really excellent performance Of Miss P. and
her company was matter Of surprise to
all in attendance, no one for momen. ex-
pecting to witness so life-like and meritor-
ious acting, each individual member SEEM
ing 70 vie With the other In their efforts to
please. OF Miss Prices acting we cannot
speak In too high terms of praise, 1t being
marked by q certain grace Of action and
Q complete understanding Of the character
she was playing that we have seldom If ever
seen squalled. She has finely modulated
voice, and the sudden change from grave to
gay, from mirthiulness to sorrow, leads one
to imagine almost that the character was q
reality. Suffice 1t to say she won the ad-
miration of the entire audience. aud was
loudly applauded throughout. Mr.. D. Han
chett as Father Bsrbeau exhibited rare his
triOnic talent, proving himself irst-class
actor In every respect. The company is .
strong one and deserving Of liberal patron
age.
Tonight will be presented the great
drama entitled "Frou-Frou," in which Miss
Price will appear Of her original character
oi 'Gilberts," supported BY the entire COM
pauy. Give them full house.

New WELL on THE COUNTY PooR FARM.
Tabor Il Siggins, the lessees OF twenty
i've acres Of the County Poor Farm on
Sugar Creek. for oil purposes, struck oil on
Wedut sday. The well is considered good
for ten barrels. The part Of the farm ieas-
ed by the Commissioners is the toughest
portion and mostly unit for asric ultural
purposes The royalty retained by the
county is one eight. AS matters now seem
it would not surprise MS it the oil obtained
would pay for the farm and buildings with
out costing tho county cent. This is, OF
course. conjecture, but stranger things have
happened.-Spectator.

Tho number Of persons who have
died suddenly in gambling houses in
this city during the past year has been
remarkable. At II Ann street is q
gambling hell, kept by a man generally
known among the fraternity as "Uncle
john" One night, about six months
since, young man dressed in the height
of fashion, with gold watch and dia.-
mond pin and rings, entered and began
to gamble. He was unlucky, and rap
idly lost his money. His diamond pin
was next riskod, and still fortune was
against him. Then he took from his
finger ring-a beautiful solitaire dia.
mond--and for which he was allowed
one hundred dollars. And now he won.
Fortune seemed to have changed and
was smiling upon him. Every bet he
made he won, until his "stack" of
"checks" was larger than that held by
the "bank."
Suddenly his head dropped forward
on the table, and he was dead. Or
course, Immediately oil was excitement
aud confusion around the table, during
which "Unolo John" quietly raked 10
the checks and closed the "bank" there.
by saving himself over $4,000 which
the dead man had won. On the inside
of the ring was engraved the dead
mans name. Ho was young man of
good family, and was to have been mar.
ried next week. His friends we're noti-
fed and took the body away, and it was
given out that he had died suddenly of
heart disease while reading a paper at
home.
Far distant from this wns tho case of
the poor devil who died in gambling
hell in East Broadway, short timo af-
ter. He was one of the "rcgulars."-
For twenty years he had been constant
habitu'e of faro banxs. When he CON-
mcnced, he was doing a good business,
had happy wife, and was in fair way
to fortune; when he died he was q va
