The Naiad Queen.-The remarkable
success with which this splendid 0peratta met
on its presentation last week, was especially
gratifying to those engaged in its production
And SO great was the appreciation of the pub
Lie, that paper, signed by many of the leading
citizens, was presented to Mr.. Mcknight ask
ing that the performance be repeated this
week. Accordingly, on Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings last, the Operatta was again
presented, and each time to crowded houses.
and each time, we may say, more perfectly
represented as the performers became more
accustomed to their parts. At first, some of
the leading performers were suffering from
colds, and could not do their parts justice, but
the colds disappearing, the closing perform
ance may properly be said to have surpassed
anything ever given in this city by professed
artists. As the performers were all amateurs,
this fact is especially complimentary to their
abilities. Where all did so well, it would seem
invidious to distinguish any, but among the
the more youthful, we cannot help remarking
the perfect rendering of the characters repre-
sented by Miss Schroeder, and Miss Tschumy
The closing tableau of the Operetta was truly
magnificent, and formed fitting finale to the
greatest scenic performance ever presented to
our people.
On Wednesday evening, after the Operatta,
a number of well chosen tableaux were pre-
ented, and the Pantomime of the EIopement,
which added very much to the interest of the
occasion and were especially creditable to the
performers.

Slip Shod Profanity.-Monday was a
capital day for the test oath business. The
walks were covered with ice, and the ice was
covered with dirty water and slush. A person
who could walk two squares and not try to
swap of the perpendicular for the horizontal,
might be one of those referred to in the pas
sage ''Sinners stand in slippery places" It is
not little amusing to be in the vicinity of a
downfall, and witness tho different exhibitions
of temper displaced by different persons, when
treated to these peremtory sittings in public
places. We noticed one active individual
going down the street at full run, as if in
pursuit of some fleeing object, he had not a
momeLtto lose, but an unlucky step, and
away he went, stopping suddenly in Darius
Green fashion. His attitude, when he stop
ped, was that of near-sighted man looking
for an eye-winker in a mud puddle. damn
the luck" expressed his idea of slipping down,
and off he went before the echoes of his words
could reach his ears.
A fat good-natured father, in no hurry at ALL
allowed his feet unusual liberties, and his ex-
perlence became stern reality "Well, well,
well, yum; tarnal slippery weather this"
and the old gentleman felt that he had treated
the situation in very emphatic terms. A good
pious man, rejecting upon Adams fall, forgot
that he was in danger of the same fate, and
only became conscious of his situation, when
he found himself serenely seated in the center
of a mud puddle, with as much geometrical
precision as though he had been pond lilly.
He summed up the varied emotions that rush
ed through his mind, in the single word "Con-
nettleton.' It was latent ambiguity to us
but it undoubtedly gave him as much relief
as the first man experienced in translating his
cuss word into common English. If there is
anything in the world that will knock profan-
ity out of man, it is an instantaneous catas-
trophe in public place.

Wanted.-A prominent hardware house
in this city, wants to employ young mar
with an imagination somewhat ivelier than 6
Government mule, and capable of displaying
the same intrepid fortitude that characterizes
the march Of donkey, toward the family
strow staek;-one who can lead q customer in
to the presence of cold wood stove, and
make him believe that at that very moment 8
biscuit would cook in three seconds; who can
cast such delusion about a common barn
lantern, that the customer will shut his eyes
to screen them from the binding light, and
will imagine that he is buying locomotive
head light Of sufficient powerssto glorify his
barn and wood shed at the same time, and
have light enough left for the back kitchen
operations and parlor sparkug;- sbii-
ty, as an extempore speaker, viii enable him
to pronounce an eulogy on common ak ham
die, with as much warmth and feeling as if he
were delivering it on the Father of our coun-
can throw such pathos into his de-
of the operations of washing ma
chimes, that the pensive woman who reluctant
ly consented to look at them, will purchase
seven Just to aid the poor inventor in his
struggles to help humanity. Such a young
man, if he can show good recommendations
for truth and veracity, can enlist for life, with
the promise of a pension for his family in case
Of death.

The Revival in Norwalk.-From the
Reflector We learn "that since the commence
ment Of the revival, the following additions to
the membership of the several churches have
been made: Congregational, 50; Methodist 80;
Presbyterian, 26; Baptist, 25; and class of 40
or more viii be presented by the Rector of the
Episcopal Church, to the Bishop, for confirm
alton, on the evening of the 10th inst. We
have no report from the Advent, German Lu-
theran or Colored Methodist Churches, but
presume they have each had additions. It is
proper to add that quite a number of persons
who propose to join the Presbyterian Church
have deferred it until the first Sunday in
March, and scores are yet undecided as to
what Church they viii join. Never before
has such a spiritual harvest been known in
this region.

Positively Dangerous.-It has done
well enough to joke about the old bridge, and
make fun of its dilapidated appearance and
rickety condition, but it has been permitted to
stand until its unsafe condition gives rise to
serious apprehension for the safety of persons
crossing. Il as not safe for loaded team to
cross. If any person is not fully convinced of
this, let him stand on the east span when a
team is crossing and notice the lateral motion
which is caused. We have occasion to notice
this frequently, as do others who cross and re-
cross the bridge, and We always make it con-
venient to be most anywhere else than on the
bridge, when a loaded team is crossing It
has passed the magnitude of an outrageous i'm
position, and its continuance at that place is a
criminal offense.

Ballville Votes Against the Rail =
road.-The township of BanviIIe voted on
the question of subscribing to the New York
& Chicago Air Line project, on Tuesday. The
result was IA votes for, and l64 against. This
result may be ascribed, in measure, to the
fact that the road will pass through only a
small corner of the township which fact infu-
enced many residents Of other portions of the
township to vote against it. We regret this
result, but presume it viii not influence the
location, nor defeat the project. Yet, we
would have preferred to have our neighbors
strike hands with US and help US build road
which viii do as much for their material
wealth as the present line has done.

VIM. Mason Evans.-0ur citizens who
listened 70 this distinguished gentleman last
winter, win be grati6ed to learn that he has
been secured for next Monday evening, at
Birehard Hall, He comes here under the aus
pices Of the Temperance Society, and we feel
confident that he will have crowded house
His selections embrace variety of humor and
sentiment that cannot fail to be appreciated.
BE is pronounced by all who hear him to be
the greatest American reader and the "Dick-
ems of the platform" His success in Boston
was remarkable. On his second appearance
there, 1000 people attended, and the press of
the city were lavish IN his praise.

Unmercifui.-During the intense cold,
which has prevailed this winter, we have tax
en- pains to watch the treatment which horses
receive at the hands of their owners. There
has not been day so cold, or SO few horses
upon our streets, but that number might
have been seen standing without thread of
covering to protect them from the cold, which
no man could have endured for any length of
time, and particularly if hitched to post, and
compelled to stand without,or, even with extra
covering. Such treatment is inhumane,
though frequently theresultOf want of thought.
If you have a good horse take care of it as
you would Of yourself. More horses are rem
dered worthless through neglect, than in any
other way.

Death of John S. Tyler.-We are pain
ed to record the death of one of our prominent
citizens. which occurred on Sunday Jan. 18th
from pneumonia His illness was of short
duration, and as the symptoms were re-
garded as critical from the first,
his three Children son and two daugh-
ters-residing in Iowa, were apprized, and ar
rived q short time before his death:
The deceased was born in Cayuga county,
New York, December 25th 1906, and
was sixty-seven years of age at the time of
his death. He came to this city in 1916, and
from that time until he retired from active life,
few years since, he was permanently connec-
ted with the business interests of the place.
He contributed to the growth of the city in
the erection of substantial brick block, on
the corner of Front and Croghan streets, and
later put up two story brick on Croghan
street.
The nobler qualities of nature were pecul-
iarly conspicuous in his domestic relations, and
were most appreciated By those who knew
him best. In his intercourse with society and
community at large, he was highly esteemed.
His funeral was attended at the NJ Z. church,
on Tuesday. Tue services were conducted by
Rev. R. L. Chittenden of st. PauTs Episcopal
church. As that church is undergoing repairs
it could not be occupied.
