Pnlaski Onera Hnnse.

The advent of the company now
playing at Antoinette Hall is an
event and an opportunity rarely ac-
corded us They came into our
midst wearing laurels won at Col
umhia ct a series Of engagements at
that place last week, and right well
have they sustained the character
which preceded them. On Tuesday
night they produced the great tragic
drama, 'Lucretia Borgia, with good
effect and the rendition of the differ
ent parts reflected credit upon the
az ors. Miss Katie Estelle, as Lu-
cretia Borgia, won the admiration
of the audience, and clearly eyinced
decided capacity. The company
produced on last night the splendid
play Leah, theF orsaken,' to good
audience. 1t is matter Of regret
to all those concerned in the welfare
of our town that exhibitions of this
character are so slimly patrouized by
this people, and it is a certain fact
that if a more liberal reception is
not extended % them Wncn they 10
come, they will in future give Us the
go-by, ana We will thus be deprived
OF All manner of amusements Of THIS
character. The demeanor Of this
company in their performance Of
Tuesday night wa unexeeptiouarle
and nothing was said or done which
could not be seen sF listened to-
with the greatest impunity by the
most refined. We sincerely hope
to see large audience out tonight
and tomorrow night, IS this COM
pany richly deserves TO be sus-
tanned.

Our friend, Spencer (Dixit)
Ciaek, esught . lish one day. last
week at Browns Mills which
weighed 81 pounds. When the
monster fish caught upon the hoax
Of our angular angler he thought he
lad hung log, but was soon made
aware Of the presence Of something
animated with life and muscle. A
vigorous pulling commenced at each
end of the line and the hotter grew
the co; test the more excited became
the contestants. The strength with
which our friend tagged at his end
Of the line seemed as If it would
break in pisces to his manner of
thinking) anything that dare resist
his mighty efforts bat the harder he
pulled the more he vas resisted, IN
Ill his excitement became so great
that he could not contain himself.
and he let loose his voice in cries
for help, &C., which soon brought
the whole neigh5orhood to the
scene, ali thinking that our piscato-
rial friend was drowning, or SOM
such rious calamity Was Detailing
him. At this writing be had almost
entirely recovered.

Shuotihs Affair Al Minor Hin.

NJ NJ i<OITOR:-NO doubt you have
heard of the shooting affair that oc-
Cured at this place on June LIST, be-
fore this time. But such things are
not likely to pass through the
hands of Madame Rum0F without
wearing superduous garb, There
fore, as an eye witness, | propose Il.
give fine facts as they occurred. On
said date two wagons drove up to
this place and made q halt at the
store of @. w. HammOnds. Sau,i
ammonls approached the driver
and asked: "SiT, what is your load
mgr to which question he did not
reply. Mr. A I. Foster, the Reeve
nue officer. being in his house on
the opposite side Of the road, seeing
the wagons, walked out, and sus
Pceting Illicit articles, asked: ''Sir,
what is Your IOadingY to which he
replied, ''bacon." Mr.. Foster step
pel upon the wheel of the wagon
~ Mr.. c. I. Shiver, and informed
this gentleman that he had q right
t. investigate the matter, as he was
a Revenue officer, AID commenced
to inspect his loading by raising the
covering from the same. Mr.. Shi-
yer said to him (Foster), mo, no,
don't do that, sirr' pushing him
from the wagon. At this moment
Foster slaps Shiver on the shoulder,
and said, ''you are my prisoner;
consider yourself under arrest"
Shiver's actions then indicated that
he would make defense by getting
his pistol. Foster now leaves the
wagons and rushes to his house
The wagons are being rapidly driv-
en- OIL. Foster returns with a double
barelled shotgun in hand and de
maads :hem to halt two or three
times, which they did not obey, and
he then fires ON them, woundiug Mr..
Shiver severely, lodging two buck
shot in his hack, one in right arm,
and one in left hand.
