OBITUARY.
Thomns WiIlIarn Reeertsor

This celebrated modern playwright is dead
He was born at Newark-upon-Tren in 1929,
was brought on the stage from the cradle, his
father being manager of the Lincolnshire
Circus, with family of thirteen children, all
of whom embraced the drama as profession.
He was educated at Spalding, Lincolnshire;
remained there till the age of seventeen,
when he commenced that career which
he followed with such persistency and indom-
table pluck that success at last crowned his
efforts. When but eighteen years of age he
translated the COrS6cdR Brothers, Faust and
MGTgueTite, and several other plays for Lacy,
the great dramatic publisher and bookseller,
London. For a number of years he wrote
dramas for the minor theatres, which met
with only moderate success. He contributed
also to Punch and Fan and various periodi-
Gals, and has written leading articles and dra-
matte criticisms for daily and weekly papers
Yet he struggled on through many and hard
priyations, and suffered all the well-known
trials of young authors.
In 1855 he married a Miss Gordon, an
actress. Mrs. Robertson died Of consump-
tion about seven years ago. Mr. Robert
sons reputation was first established by the
comedy Society, brought out at the Prince of
Wales Theatre in November, 1865. 1t was
followed by Ours, produced at the same
establishment, September II, 1866; by
6hddVao Tree shaft, which proved failure,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-02-06

produced at the Princess Theatre, February
6, 1867; by Caste, another success, first
played at the Prince of Wales Theatre, April
8, and by For Lore, at the New Holborn
Theatre, October ., 1867, and since that he
has written School, Progress, War, and his
last play, Birth, is now in rehearsal.
He was keen observer of human nature,
bright, witty, and vivacious, and, instead of
following in the beaten track of other authors,
he took his materials from whathe saw around
him. His characters are those of everyday
life his most ardent admirers, those who
know its realities best. Always known IS a
straightforward, honest man, { is an estab-
lished fact in London that he never forgot in
his prosperity those who had been true to
him in adversely.
To show how poor Robertson must have
struggled with the scribbler's fate, we append
copy of a receipt which he gave in exchange
for folio of manuscript and ten pounds in
1865. The copy is made from the original
LONDON August s. 1s65.-In consideration of the
sum of ten pounds which hereby acknowledge to
hand you, entitled Passion FiolrerS, drama
in three acts, written and composed by me.
Gl0 THOMAS WILLIAM ROBERTSON
This play was never produced, and is still
in the hands of the purchaser. Among the
earliest efforts of Robertson's pen were the
comedies of AbT0ad and at Home and at
Home and AJToad, and the drama of DaCjd
Carried. -Four years since the deceased
married his second wife, German girl, who
was born in Baden, and whose acquaintance
he bad made in London during the season.
By this lady he had one child, aud that she
exerted O strong influence on his after writ
ings may be seen in his last drama, Var,
in which the heroine of the play is a German
with an intense love for Fatherland.

"A young man about nineteen years OF age
has been collecting money in the Sixteenth
ward on the plea that il was intended as a
present to an officer. The collector fraudu-
lently represented himself as a clerk in a
neighboring drug store.
Charles ODonnel, aged eight years, re-
siding at No. 315 South Twentieth street,
while chopping ice with an axe on Saturday
last, cut one of bis feet severely. He was
admitted to the Pennsylvania Hospital
William NJ. Bum, Register of Wills,
charged with perjury and embezzlement, had
further hearing before Alderman Dewitt, on
Saturday, and was held to bail for another in
vestigation on Saturday next.
Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. fire occurred in the North Baptist
Church, Eighth street, above Master, of
which Rev. Dr. Hendriclson is pastor. There
have recently been new heaters placed in the
building, and the hot-air flues we're placed too
near the wainscotting, thus causing the fire.
The Sunday ay-school was in session at the time,
and quite panic was occasioned among the
children.
The second anniversary of the Arch
Street Mission School took place yesterday
afternoon at the mission rooms, Vine street,
above Seventeenth. There were a large
number of persons present on the occasion,
and the exercises we re of an interesting and
instructive character, consisting of prayer,
singing, and addresses by John Thompson,
Esq, B. T. Zines, Esq, Charles Higgins,
Esq, and Rev. @. II. Payne.
Henry Grindrod aud Officer Lipp we're
arranged before Aid. Good, at Germantown,
on Friday evening last.
Mr.. Baker, a colored man, testified that
some time between Christmas and New Years
a stable of Mr.. Johnson, his employer, was
broken open, and some goods belonging to
witness were stolen; he afterwards saw Officer
Lipp and be stated that the goods would be
returned or that he would return them wit
ness saw Grindrod the day before the goods
were returned, and he said he would return
them if the prosecution was dropped; the
goods were returned, and witness believed
that they were returned by Grindrod, but he
did not see who returned them; witness saw
Officer Lipp the night before the goods we're
returned; he told witness that it was not
worth while to get a warrant, that he had
found where the goods were; witness pro-
missed not to prosecute, as the officer had pro-
missed to return the goods
Detective Maguire, who had been detailed
by the Mayor to investigate the charges
against the efficer, asked that Grindrod be
held to bail for having stolen goods in his
possession, and that Officer Lipp be held
to answer the charge of compounding a
felony.
Grindrod was held in $1,000 bail and Officer
Lipp in $1,000 bail to answer at court.

HARRISON COUNTY.

The Clarksburg Telegraph OF thi:
week brings us full report of the vote
in Harrison county at the late election,
Colonel WILSON'S majority in the coun'
,y is go and Colonel JoHNsoN's 235
the total vote polled being 3O14. Fol-
State Senator PATTERSON, the Demo
cratic candidate, has 253 majority, and
LUnTY and BASEL, the Democratic
candidates tor county delegates to the
Convention, are elected by OF. ELLIOT
and WEST receive similar majorities fol
The House Of Delegates. The Telegraph
says:
I'VE cat only ascribe the great Dem
ocra,ic victory 10 Republican misman
arement The leaders for several years
have so manipulated the conventions Of
the party that The people have had but
lnue voice in them, and this has been
repcsted so often that they have be-
come disguised with it, and either alb
sent themselves from the polls or vote
for the Democratic candidates. If the
Republicans expect to do anything in
this State hereafter they must recognize
and run the party more in the interest
of the people than that OF office-seekers.
They must put men forward who can
command the confidence Of the people.

their tributariey liz surprising. The
Union can vote ,its sixty millions Of
dollars TO the building of Pacific rail-
road. 1t has spent its tens of millions
upon the Atlantic seaboard for the ben
eft of commerce, but hardly cent is
obtained for objects of transcendently
greater importance. The expenditure
Of twenty millions Of dollars in the
manner suggested would probably make
the Upper mississippi, the Ohio and
their tributaries always navigable
streams. Who can estimate the benefit
Of this to the entire country! Rail-
roads are good in their way, but they
can not begin to compete with the
great rivers, Gods natural highways, in
the conveyance of heavy and bulky ar
ticles at cheap rates. The improve
ments upon these rivers would add to
the value Of lands upon them more
than twenty times their cost. They can
be had if the members OF Congress who
represent the people of the States that
have natural interest in it will, with
out distinction OF party, demand it with
emphasis. Let them take, if necessary,
the position that, until justice be done
TO the Northwest in this matter, there
should be no appropriations for other
parts Of the country by the aid Of their
votes. A little firmness and decision is
all that is needed. Can We not have it?
