CHARLES MATHEWS, the English comedian,
made his first appearance in this city last night,
and was received by good house. His style is
more quiet than most Of our American come
dams. and the nice points of his acting are not
always appreciatedb by American audiences; but
1t speaks well for our Washington play-goers
that, despite the balks in the performance
through some of the stock company not being
up In their parts the exquisite finish, airy grace
cognized throughout by prompt and continuous
applause. His enunciation Is somewhat novel
here, Astounding in those rising infections
which pronunciation is not as some sup
poe the cockney utterance but that of the
cultivated Englishman. Usually it is more dis
tnct than our pronunciation because it does not
allow the slurring-over of letters and syIla-
bles as with us; but in the case of Matthews his
rapidity OF utterance, and possibly defective
teeth, makes 1t necessary to follow him closely
to catch all he says. His inimitable by. play too
needs to be watched closely to be properly an,
preciated Last night it was a study to see him
time drag the faulty performers through theirs;
prompting, directing changes in position, Sc,
&C, and all in scarce detected "asides.n
Tonight he appears in the came capital bill
and it will 60 off undoubtedly without hitch, the
company having had full opportunity for re-
hearsal We advise all play goers to see this fine
comedian.

Pennington was brought up before JUS
tice Miller yesterday, charged With horse
stesliug snd murder, each 0hanse having
been committed outside Of shelby county.
At his oWn solicitation his case was cor
tinued over two weeks. The witnesses
tr0na Upton county we're present snd
ready to testify about the stealing Of the
clsybsnk horse. Squire Miller offered TO
take two securities, OF $1,000 each, for his
appaaraDce, but not being able to furnish
tbs required bail he WasOrdered back tOthe
jug" Thacoustable Observation-Disclosures
and secure, and marched him forth to 20
igilRrard. When st the corner Of Concord
street,, where it was designed TO turn OF
Main to 20 jaiiWard, the constable being
q step or SO In advance, Mister Farming
ton, alias Rains, etc, concluded 10 keep
straight on, and also to accelerate his pace
20 a sort OF a sling trOb, which enabled
MIN 20 get over 8 vast deal Of ground In
an astOuishingly short time. The consba-
bic suggested TO him that he was not going
the right way, but the Signor Alias did
not heed the suggestion, 5ut, on the con-
trary, accelerated his pace. BE went
scoOtlng along past the Ohio depot,
plunged into the bayou, near the gas
works, and Waded through mud hip-high,
sheered eastward, crossed the old Raleigh
o 81 q sllnglng gallop, struck across
Huling street, and got mixed up in the
fences and lots, and was finally brought
TO 8 .lalG as he was attempting TO cross
over a tail, o~lOse-bOarded fence. He made
several attempts TO throw his bound
hands over the top Of the fence, and had
succeeded, when a cOI0rsd man hove in
view, who stopped, astonished, to recon-
hotter the affair. When his establishment
subsidized a little, he found breath enough
to exclaim: " Whar is you gwine, white
manF what is you up to, umF" Though
the style and manner Of the darby was
not calculated TO terrify Alias much, vet
be was Disconnected, and hs failed to get
over the fence. Presently an en-
ployee Of the APPEAL Office, happened
on the scene, and vetoed any further ef-
forts on the part Of Alias for the present.
While q parlsy was going on, the COnsta
bic came putting along, and took him,
handouts and ali, in tow, and to5ed him
of to Jail, where he has a chance to rest
himself after his violent exsrtiOns.

FIRE

There was q large fire last nighs which
lasted half an hour or 30. Il was the
burning down of a little frame grocery,
situsted at The ornsr of Madison and
DeSOtO streets. The grocery was a two
story frame that cost about $500 original
ly, but was considerably deprecisted in
Intrinsic value from the effects of age.
The owner Of the grocery, Mr.. Weaver,
was in bed in the room back
Of the store when the police Numbered
at his doors, and so s5Olid or sleepy was
he, that he would not be aroused until the
flames from the upper story were viQOr-
Ously aspiring h-eavenWard through the
roof The doors bad to be broken in and
Weaver, and wife and goods carried out
by police force. Weaver knew nothing
about how the fire occurred. He had
some renters, cOlOred women, up stairs
where the ire broke out. They
say it was an oil lamp. The
concern became a total wreck, owing to
some hitch in the supply of water by
which the engines were delayed shout
i've minutes or so. Most Of the groceries,
tsllOw candles, fish, mOlassss, brooms,
dried apples, etc, were taken out and
scattered mp and down the street. It took

you that this transfer was made IN order
to secure to the state what I believed
Justly due her, and not intended, in the
