THE ADELPHIANs.-There was a very good
| audience present at the Theatre last evening,
| and we are pleased to chronicle the fact that
| since the first evening of the engagement of
| Mr.. Halls excellent and versatile company
| the attendance has steadily increased, so that,
at the earnest request of many of our leading
citizens-who have been induced to witness
the performances-the management have
agreed to remain three evenings of next week.
producing Sheridan Knowles's great comedy
of the sRvas' on Monday night.
The plot of the comedy, Faces in the Fire.
is hinged upon very simple theme-the effect
ofimagination, or the power of jealousy. Mrs.
Granville, a lady in English society, thinks her
husband is in love with every woman he speaks
to- and through this disagreeable trait in
her charact ter turns his parties of pleasure into
bores, and makes his home miserable. A
friend, Mr.. Hargreaves, has also suffered from
this terrible affection and urges Mrs. Granville
to conquer the fend, which she promises to
do, but unfortunately Hargreave's wife has a
secret which she confides to Granville, the
friend of her youth, unknown to her husband
and to Mr.. Granville, which, through the silly
Cabling of society Top and meddler-one
Vane-only serves to distcrt their imagin atoms
and nearly cause duel and permanent mis-
cry to both families.
The play is deliciously ridiculous in its situa-
tions, old in plot, forced and feeble in its Ian
guage for the most part, and if it were not for
the excellent acting of the company would fall
hatter than dishwater on the ears of an intel
lectual audience. Even in the most serious
situations one cannot but laugh at the absurdi-
ties Of the scene, as in the rushing of Vane
from Mr. Glanville and Mrs. Hargreaves lat
the close OF the first act) to Mrs. Glanville and
back to tell what he h ears as an eavesdropper,
for example. Mr.. Hall was exceedingly good
as Vane, and made a very nice point in de-
scribing the different shades of gray among
many others. 1t is the most finished character
in the play-the others, even that of Mrs.
Granville, being a sketch rather than q COM
plete part of o uniform whole-and gave Mr..
Hall an opportunity prove himself an equally
finished actor in light comedy. Miss Wiseman
as Mrs. Granville showed capabilities far be
yond that of mere light comedy or burlesque
actress, and her black eyes fairly flashed with
rage while her countenance was wreathed in
smiles as she encountered Mrs. Hargreaves in
her apartments with her husband at the close
of the second act. Mr. Within was excellent
as usual in the part OF Hargreaves, and Miss
Lewis Looked very charming and was very ac-
ceptable as Mrs. Harg-eaves; as were Messrs.
Waverly and Morris as Hargreave and Werner.
In the farce of "My Turn Next" Hall was ex-
cessively funny, and although the farce was
actually turned into burlesque, yet we must
admit that we joined with the audience in
their shouts of laughter.
There will be very pleasing matinee per-
Torrance this afternoon for the ladies and
children, when very entertaining bill will be
offered and tonight new sensation play.

Correspondence of the New York Sunday Mercury
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 3O.-rhis
coast, as well rs the whole length of
the st. Johns River, has been visited
by terrible cyclone. 1t first descend
ed upon the city in whirl-wind. which
lasted about two hours, and then be-
came an appalling hurricane. The rain
was little short OF n cataract, and the
tremendous peals of thunder and start
ling flashes of lightning shook the
solid earth in their awful warfare. This
terrific storm lasted nearly three days,
and when ii ahated the Florida coast
was spectacle of disaster.
From the mouth of ST. Johns River
TO Enterprise (two hundred and fifty
miles, there are few who have not sus-
tanned some damage. Mrs. Harriet
Beccher Stoves place, few miles
above Jacksonville, was very little dam
aged, being situated on the side of the
river least exposed to the gale. As we
pass up the river from Jacksonville We
see pines and oaks. two and three feet
in diameter, torn up by the roots,
while others are snapped off as If they
were mere plpe-stems. But the spec
tator thinks nothing of the mere up
roofing of trees, when he sees the roof
of a house resting on the waters edge,
having been carried on the gale mile,
while some of the buildings are utterly
aunihilated Vast quantities of pine
logs float up and down the river with
the tide, the log-pins having been
broken up and as We near Pilatki, II
small town seyenty-iive miles above
Jacksonville, we find several of the
fine ange-grOves absolutely ruined.
Some of these brought in an income of
81, 600 to So 600 per annum, and were
held at enormously high prices by the
owners, fact to be borne in mind in
estimating the pecuniary loss in this
particular disaster
The City of Jacksonville during this
time has been blockaded, the wind
and rain having torn from the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad in several places,
stopping all communication in that di-
rection, while the captains of the
steamers knew that to come in or go
out over the st. Johns Bar in such II
terrific gale was an utter impossibility.
Bay street, the principal business
street IN Jacksonville, is two feet I'M
der water, and, instead of having the
appearance of place of business,
looks more like place intended for
aquatic sports, the streets being nayi-
gated by small boys, black and white,
drifting around in dry goods boxes and
on logs. Some of the stores are two
feet deep with water, and their propri-
etors are III quandary their customers
not being willing to buy goods ahoat,
The only thing that strikes our ear
that sounds like business is the music
al rap, rap of the carpenters hammer,
which is to be heard in every direction,
and which is likely to be heard for
some time to come.

If a farmer happens to be without
straw for one winter he fully realizes
the value of it in his business. A good
straw stack makes a cheerful barn-yard
in the winter. You will rarely see poor
stock where there is large stack Of
bright straw. 1t makes dry and shell
tered yard, soft, dry beds in the stall,
and is worth good deal to work in
with better fodder. Bright straw and
some grain will take farm horses that
have little work to do through the cold
months in health and coed flesh. The
same feed will suffice for store sheep
The straw stack affords the cattle a
good luncheon. but mich COWS, fatten-
ing stock, and those that are young.
require hay and other richer food. But
the straw is of SO much value that it is
worth the while to make the stack in
the best manner, so as to keep its con
tents bright and dry. The top should
be finished with n little fine hay, or
grass, cpt for the purpose BY raking
and trimming after the machine has
gone, and topping ont properly, the
straw will come out in the winter as
bright as when threshed. -Amcrican
