CHEsTER.-Our Theaters, owing to the
tightness of the money market have been
closed for the past two weeks but on Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, Feb. 20 and
21st, our principal one, which we denom-
mate the Chester" (for we need bor-
row no name or laurels from city boards)
reopened and gave two benefits for the
St. Luke's Episcopal Society, presenting
on each evening the comedy of :" The
Lost Heir" followed on the first evening
by the farceof MY Wife's Dentist" and
on the second by The New Footman,"
each well presented. All the Stars who
have established their reputation sus-
tanned them on this occasion, while occa-
sionally new light, almost meteor in
brilliancy, shone forth, among them Prof.
Reed, as Dr. Panglos l.. l.. D. and A. A. S.
was particularly commended, as also Mr..
Eugene Leonard as Ezekiel Homespun."
Mr.. S. H. Leonard took the character of
my Lord Duberly" and presented it to
perfection, the various other characters
were mirrored by those whose names
are already familiar to your readers in
connection with local dramas. The
house the first evening was not as full as
could have been wished. The second
night presented larger audience and
gave those concerned better reward for
their efforts.

SPRINGFIELD.-There is a line of fine
staging running from Springfield to
Charlestown and to Woodstock. Squire
Baker We believe is the proprietor, and
he is doubtless a square man. His stages
during cold weather are made almost as
comfortable as the cars by series of
foot free-stones which he places in them
along the line. Mr.. Henry Fletcher is
the obliging and attentive driver, and
passengers have frequent occasion to
speak with appreciation of his courtesies
to make them comfortable, and we cor.
daily congratulate Mr.. Baker, in serv-
ing the travelling public so faithfully.
Geo. o. Henry keeps one of the best
of country hotels, and makes his guests
feel quite at home.
The inventive genius of Springfield
holds out and continues as of old, no.
tice of which we had last week.
A temperance society is thriving in
Springfield as all good things generally
do in that place.
No more cases of small pox. It's now
a month since the last case.
The store of Geo. W. Porter & Co. is
an old established and standard place for
dry goods, groceries and hardware, and
all doing business there and wanting
goods in their line should give them call.
For nice millinery and other fine good
the store of Reyes O. Closson is not ex-
celled by any other place in the county.
1t is still more SO in furs of which they
make a speciality. Just now they will
give the best bargains that anybody
has heard of since 1S61-or even since
sable were first discovered or invented
Springfield is a very healthy place,
owing partly to the very comfortable
outfits furnished by Reyes & Closson.-
She has ninety per-ons between seventy
and eighty years of age, and over forty
who are between eighty and one hundred
One person is SO years and nine months
of age.

On the morning of the 10th, Mr.. Whip
Plies dry house attached to his stone fac
