AN ACCOMPLISHED AcToR.-Mr.
McWade, who is now playing Rip Van
Wrinkle, at the Theatre, is, in our judg-
ment, the most accomplished actor that has
visited our city this winter. The audience
is constantly alternating between tears and
smiles, joy and sorrow; thus experiencing
a happy variety. Those who desire to
spend most agreeable evening can do SO,
by attending the Theatre. The audiences
ore good, and scarcely excelled in character
by those which attended the Opera.

Tue Fools ARE NOT ALL DEAD
A CECIL COUNTY MAN VISITS A CAR.
oLINE INSTRUMENTATION Tuesday
last, the Denton Union says, an intelli-
gent aud influential citizen Of Cecilton,
Cecil county, with grey hair and Sc,
date and reverend contour, made his
appearance at one Of our hotels ON a
mission Cd grave Importance. lie had
journeyed all the way from Cecil county
to this place to visit one Of our citizens
of "African decent" known here as the
Fire King" but whose real name is
Nathan Coker, aud who has earued some
uotoriety in this community by his per.
forming such extraordinary feats as that
of"swallowing motion lead eating glor-
eng Goals Of fire; running his hand into
coal store and stirring up The fire, and
walking with bare feet red-hot bar of
iron
The special mission Of this gentleman
from Cecil was to obtain the services of
the "Fire King" to remove a "speU,"
which had been placed upon his horse.
Arriving at this place, this Cecil county
believer in witchcraft left his horse at
the hotel, and, on foot, plodded his way
some four miles in the country in search
of the object of his visit. The "Fire
King" was on hand, but the gentleman
failed to accomplish the object of his
visit, from the fact that the pecromancer
had abandoned the cause Of the evil
one, Joined church and was a changed
man.

One Cause Why Land is Low.

An exchange paper says AS long
as our people hove to pay from 16 TO 30
per eeut. interest on m"'ry, just 50 long
will land sell iur less than one half its
real value. Let us illustrate: Land
yields on an average per cent, bat if
money yield III per cent. who is going
to buy laudy No one, it is obvious.
Therefore, an acre Of ground which
ou.ht to bring 500 will only sell for
s25. Do not the people see this 2 If
money goes up to 90 per cent land goes
down to $50 per acre. If the former
gets as high as 30 per cent. the latter
drops. Of course, down to SIS, and 50
on aud so on. The higher the money
rate the lower the price of land. The
best way to stop this whole business is
for all people who are in financial trOu.
bic to sell portion Of their estate,
rather than to pay 10 or 80 per cent.
for money. BY following this advice
they will save themselves. If they con.
tinue to borrow at 1e per cent, iu six
years they will have. qothiug to borrow
on. Every farmer who is now paying
q high rate for interest is simply giving
the fruit of his labor to the man who
loaned him the money. They Che
shavers) will not break him up as long
as he pays the intetest. They do not
want to do so, because the investment
is good one-much better than that
made by farmers who buy land at IS an
acre.
