Box AND COX.-A great man

Box AND C0x.-A great many of
our citizens will be surprised to learn that
the comic operetta entitled g Box and Cox, -
was presented at Music Hall on Thursday
and Friday evenings last by home talent
at least the numbers Of the audience
seemed to indicate a most profound igno-
rance on the part Of the public of what was
being done for their amusement and en-
joyment. 1t is true, the weather was un-
favorable, but this is no excuse for not sup
porting and encouraging home talent.
AS an amateur performance the rendition
was most excellent. In the character of
Cox, Gen. Jennison succeeded most admir-
ably in piling on all the agony of high trae-
edy, and illustrated the modern style of
operate singing to a dot. Mr.. Raymond
made no attempt to be anything but natur-
al, and if he did not burlesque modern act.
ing he at least did not spoil the play by at
tempting something he could not accom-.
plish. His rendition Of the character of
Box was we'll received while his singing
was rapturously applauded. Mr.. sheldou's

The new railroad law which went into
etfect on the 2eth ult., has caused consider
able excitement among railroad men and
the people. How the thing will terminate
time will have to determine. On some Of
the routes passengers have rendered the
legal fare, to-wit: three cents per mile,
and on the conductors refusal to accent
they have rode free, the conductor inform
ing them that they were liable to prosecu-
ton for not complying with the demands Of
the railroads. There has been no violence
offered so far. The railroads are deter
mined not to yield; we say give them the
law; we hope the Governor will have
backbone enough to enforce it; we know
not whether he is greater than the influence
that will be brought to bear against him or
not; there seems to be more than Omnipo
tence in the strength Of money it moves
men into the consummation Of acts that no
code Of moral ethics will justify; even the

ADVANCE ON RAILROAD FREIGHTs.-The
competing lines Of railroad from Chicago
eastward have advanced their freight
rates tlve cents per 100 lbs. If the rail-
roads can DO this in the face of the compe-

extended this season. He gave US to under
stand that no railroads would be extended
in this state or Wisconsin until it was def

the owners controlled the roads. We are
very sorry that railroad men are viewing
it in this light as we had hoped to see an

And there they sat and sheiled the corn

And hitched their chairs the higher

Then John he shook the pepper,
Till both their faces looked as red
As sauce-pans made Of copper.

While he haT-hsWed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.

And still the corn kept popping;

And still no signs Of stopping.

The corn did pop and patter,
Till he cried out, Z" The corn's a fret
