The Murdoch Dramatic Club is adver-
tised to appear at the Massillon Opera
House, on next Saturday evening, in
Chimney Corner" Handy Andy" and
Perfection" This club is composed OF
leading amateurs from Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati, and has the reputa-
ton of being the best Amateur Dramatic
Club in the country,
On last Sabbath morning thirty-nine
persons were admitted to membership in
the PRESBYTERIAN church of this place. We
understand that about fifty members have
also been added to the NJ E. church since
the beginning of 1870.
Dr. Underhill, an olden-time citizen OF
Massillon, but who now lives with a son
in Illinois, has been spending a few days
with his relatives and former friends in
this city. For a man who has seen the
trosts and SHOWS ofabout three score years
he IS quite vigorous and active.
Messrs. Letterlin & Hershy, had on the
streets, Monday afternoon last, a lump of
coal taken, we understand, from the old
German Bank, which weighs ], 300 pounds.
Pretty sood chunk.
The cold snap of the last few days sue
SSSOCu III H4dAlAB our ice Ileu SI1llS over
the prospect of a good crop of frozen
water, and they lost no time in filling
their ice houses with q large supply Of
this useful article.
A couple of belligerent miners succeeded
in making considerable noise on Main
street the other day, but before they got
to blows, our efficient marshal happened
along that way and put stop to the per
formance, much to the disgust of a crowd
Of boys who wanted to see the fun.
Connelly's Dramatic Troupe will open
out in the Opera House, on Monday ev-
ening, March 7th, with the Lancashire
Lass" popular drama among our citi-
Zens, and no doubt Will have full house.
They stay one week only, and Judging
from the reputation they bring from other
cities and towns where they have played,
we DO not think they can fail to give sat
istaction.
The young men of this place, principal
ly students of the High School, have or
ganized a debating society, which meets
in the Union School house on Monday ev-
enings. This is a move in the right di-
rection, and we hope they viii persevere
in their laudable efforts.

The Canton COAL FieIds.

Our neighbor Garrison, of the Ameri-
can, at Massillon, seems to be skeptical
about the Canton coal fields, and intima-
te es, by query, that our best coal comes
from Osnaburg, Pike and Perry. Aow,
we freely admit, indeed take pleasure in
saying, that the Canton coal fields ex-
tend into Osnaburg and Pike. and in fact
as far west as the other side Of Section
Eight" now incorporated as a city Of the
second class. There is much good coal
all through, we are happy to say. The
Canton ore banks also extend into Osna-
burg and Pike,and if the furnaces at Mas
sillon were removed to Canton, they wo'd
be much more convenient TO the ore beds

StaId over.

A number of the Akron Fire Depart
ment excursionists to Canton staid over
Tuesday night and came home Wednes-
day, instead of on the excursion train.
From what We learn they had jolly old
time
\ The Canton Fire Department presented
them ali with complimentary tickets to
the amateur theatrical performance which
took place at Schaefer's Opera House Oh
course the Allronians honored the tickets
and between the two plays of the evening
one of the actors, Paul Fields, formerly
engineer in our Fire Department, presen-
ted the Akronians a mammoth and hand
some pyramidal cake The cake is now
in the show window of J. B. Storer & Co.
and bears this inscription: Presented tc

and Sweethearts of the Steamer Company

1870" After the performance was over
the boys were escorted to Trump's Hal
and treated to fine oyster supper, which
was served up by the ladies of the Discl
pie Church.

The Rink n success.

Notwithstanding the disagreeableness
caused By the irrepressible conflict of the
right and left wings of the abolition party,
the Akron Skating Rink has attained to
high degree of popularity. Since the agi
tators have ceased their labors to get up
war of races, the negroes always the equals
of their professional benefactors, have
carefully abstained from creating any dis
turbance of the animosities and antipa-
thies of the white race On Thursday
last, a grand Masquerade came off at the
Rink, and still more splendid affair of
that kind is to take place on this (Wed-
nesday) evening 1t is safe to affirm that
the Akron Rink is a decided success.-Ak-
ron Times
The colored folks behave moro sensibly
than the political mountebanks and dis
unionists who are trying to use negroes
for. their own destruction. The time Is
not far distant when it viii be conceded
that the Radical negro policy was th'
greatest crime of.modern times

A circumstance.

We were surprised, slightly amused,
and very much disgusted at little Incl
dent we witnessed not long since. The
facts as we learn are these Two young
ladies, Of about Is carats fine, were posses
sed with the idea Of taking q sleigh ride.
Sleigh, horses, robes, &c, were at their
command, still one thing was lacking, VIZ,
4 driver As a i0hite one was not to be
thought Of, "gemman Of color was en-
gagged to drive the ladies through the city.
The next difficulty to be overcome was
where TO place the darley lie couldn't
ride the horses, and it was inconvenient
to cit on the dash board, so the ladies very
generously allowed him seat on their
lapsl When We saw the singular trio
. dashing along We wondered what Rome
was coming TO. The ladies appeared tc
enjoy the situation; the darkey, in hi:
luxurious seat, handled the ribbons in fine
style, and with show Of pompous dignity
so noticeable IN his race when enjoying
temporary elevation. We did not envy
the nigger, we only hoped we might neve
see any Of our female relatives under sim
liar circumstances.
