48E MARIoNs NEW ENGINE!

We have before noticed the arrival and trla
of the new engine built for the Marion Com
pany, by the Clapp d Jones Manufacturing
Company, Of Hudson, N. z, and now append
copy OF the official certificate given by the
company to the manufacturers. This style
and size OF engines are winning favor every
where, especially where engines are drawn b!
hand, as is usually the case In the Southern
States. Their llghtness Of weight, (bus s70t
pounds,) the great power exhibited by them,
their great simplicity OF construction and
beauty of Hnish, combined with the low prices
at which they are furnished, as compared with
prices of engines Of twice their weight, but
Of no greater power, commend them to oil
parties, and we are glad to note that the sale
of this style Of engines: In all parts Of the
country, Is rapidly increasing. We ere pleaged
to know that the patient ''search and vigil
leng" Of lir. N. 3. Clapp. the inventor and
patentee Of the boiler and the principal parts
Of the engine, are at last meeting their re-
ward. The engine, as we have before stated,
lie highly finished, elaborately nickel plated
and Is alike credit to the builders and tc
the entsrprlsIng boys of the Marion, who or
dered and directed the building of 1t.

gine, built by you for this company, IL, In ad al

performance of the engine has more than full
1lled the conditions guaranteed In your con
tract with the committee, and We do certify
that at the Official trial Of the engine this after
noon at the we'll at st. Philip and Cannon
streets, under the direction OF your agents
Messrs. Harris and Leonard, 10 our presence,
the engine threw, with one hundred feet OF
hose, an inch and one-slxteenth stream, two
hundred and fifty-two feet and nine inches,
with an average draft OF water OF twelve.feel
lit, the highest steam pressure at any time
being one hundred and forty pounds, and the
highest winter pressure two hundred pounds
The engine Ia beautiful In style Of finish,
light, easily handled and run-of great power,
as the trial Of to-day has demonstrated, and
the boiler shows unprecedented steaming
power, carrying surplus Of steam while the
engine was doing Its heaviest work.
/ We deaire to congratulate you upon your
success with this engine, and take an increas
ed pleasure In recommending your engines to
cities and companies who may be contemplat-
Ing the purchase of steam apparatus.

Hiixnbsth at the Academy.
.Nrs. Bowers was greeted by very large
house-last night In her presentation Of Eliza
beth. The play is perfectly unhistorical, and
the Elizabeth which it portrays is certainly
not after Mr.. Froude. It has the grave arts
ticfanlt also OF containing no definite dramatic
conception, whose development and unfolding
can be clearly traced throughout. The sotion
In .sbrnpe and uneven. and the Interest is
made to, depend upon q number Of striking
scenes etrnng together BY . very slight cord OF
probability. The work OF the actress, there
fore, is necessarily reduced to making e6ec-
tive points, rather than su6tly Interpreting q
complicated character
sl6es. Bowers proved no less admirable than
wehsdt anticipated In the role thus indicat-
Cd: and the numerous striking situations Of
thePlay lost nothing In her hands. She look
Sd her fpysl part thoroughly; and she succeed
edin 6afmonixlng by her skilfol and sustained
aetaon the rather homogeneous scenes Into
Hhich the famous Queen is thrown BY the
shifting circumstances ofthe drama. She was
twice called out In the course Of the evening,
ani the perfect silence Of the house during
the last act with its thrilling death scene was,
perhaps, even agreater tribute to her success.
We should certainly rank her Elizabeth
above her Lady Audley. The fnstian melo-
drama of the latter Is far less congenial to her
real ability than the stately tragedy Of the
former. IT, a.ss .sa
Tonight She plays Mary Stuart, role in
Witch many will be anxious to compare her
more closely with Janausche,t. she can hard

Fire i'm Weston.

The dwelling house and out-buildings
owned and occupied by G. W. Sprague,
and the hotel property occupied by
Arson Hayward, adjoining, were all
consumed by fire Saturday morning.
The fire originated in the hotel barn
which has not been occupied for some
weeks-and is therefore supposed to be
the work of an incendiary. The fire
was first discovered about one o'clock
Saturday morning, and in an incredibly
short time had done its work of destruc-
ton. The school hall situated but a
short distance from the fire, was through
able efforts of the citizens, saved. 1t
had been raining all ssday and before
the fire occurred, and it was therefore an
easy matter with the citizens to keep
the fire within bounds. Had it occurred
when the roofs of the houses were dry,
a good share Of the little village would
have been swept away by the fire tiend.
Mr.. Sprague sustains a loss of over a
thousand dollars above the insurance he
had. The entire loss will amount to
$4,000; insured for $4,000 in Vermont
Mutual.
