The wallace Sisters.

The Wallace Sisters and company created
q decided sensation at the Opera House last
evening, and won the admiration and en-
thusiastic applause of very large audience.
Although 1t was their first appearance IN
Rutland, they succeeded in taking the
house by storm, from the very first and
throughout the evening The entertain
ment was opened with the familiar farce
of loan of a LOVER" and we must admit
we have seen it played much worse on the
best stages in the city. Miss Jennie Wal
lace made a very favorable impression us
" Gertrude" while Mr.. Fortescue as
''Peter" was immense.
The spectacular burlesque of Aladdin
was then presented by the entire company.
This burlcsque is founded upon the Arabian
Nights story of the same name, and its
text is, to say the least, the best of any
thing of this kind that we have ever heard,
1t abounds in laughable situations and
puns, and is h-provoking in the OK
IRENE. Mr.. Fortescue as the "Widow
Twankey" created an uproar by his eX-
ceedingly ridiculous makeup and ludicrous
acting
Miss Jennie was capital in speech and
manners in the character of the hero
and was greatly admired for hel
vivacity and sprightly acting. Misses

one in which Samuel Chandler. Esq, OF

county court, and on the anniversary of the
evening on which he took his first sip of

one OF an obstinate panel of twelve jury
men who couldn't agree If they would and
wouldn't if they could. Mr.. Chandler had

The Liquor Crusade.

Officer Perkins and other crusaders made
descent upon the grocery store of Robert
Stewart, on Strongs avenue, yesterday af-
ternoon, and secured quite haul. The
cellar was made to dsgorge twelve barrels
of cider, eight gallons of grape wine, four
gallons of the essence OF cherry, one gal
Ion of rum, and two empty casks. Mr..
Stewart says he has not sold any cider since
January last, but got this on an old debt
for which he could not get anything else

great weight to this view of the question,
at first, but on reflection il will be remcm-
bered that there still remains four millions
of dollars of authorized bank notes in cir

than their quota not yet taken. In addi-
ton to this the states having less than their
quota of bank circulation, have option of
twenty-five millions more to be taken from
those states having more than their proper
ton. When this is all taken up, or when
specie payments are fully restored or are in
rapid progress of restoration, 1t will be
time to consider the question of more cur

The Savings Banks--A Poor Year.

New York, April %.
The forthcoming report of the state
bank superintendent on savings banks will
show that the amount to the credit of de-
positors increased only S233, 900 during the
last year. With the exception of 1862,
when there was decrease, this is the
poorest showing since 1853, The aggregate
of deposits was $il 900, 900 on the first of
January, 1858, and on thefirst of January,
1874, $685., 900, 900, or nearly seven times
as much as sixteen years ago. Three
fourths of the deposits are held by banks
in the two counties of New York, Kings
and Westchestcr. During the last half of
the year there was net withdrawal of
nearly $s,000,000 deposits in excess of
money lodged and interest credited. Some
withdrew their savings from fright, others
for speculation, and Others still from
necessity.

a Brave Yankee school Nurna who
wouldn't Back Down for IL LOcO-

mOt1VC.
On Monday of last week there was an
occurrence on the Harlem Extension rail
road that is worth recounting. About nine
in the morning of that day serious col
lision-a collision between a girl and a
train of cars--was avoided in a very singu-
lar and daring way. The girl is a school
teacher and she was on her way to school.
The train was from Chatham, on its way
to Rutland. Both met on the tressel-work
near Brainard's station. The girl stood
still, while the alarmed engineer whisted
down brakes and managed to stop the train
only when his engine was within ten feet
of the obstruction. The trcstle-work is
thirty-siS feet high, and bears only course
of ties, and only one track. "What do
you mean-do you want to be killed? p in
quired the engineer mo-" said the girl !;
''Im going to school," "Well. go back
until the train crosses the tressel," said the
engineer. 81 can't" she replied; SIN late
now" ''Step aside, then" And she stepped
aside, outside the track and on the edge of
the ties. But the space was too narrow
the engines wheels could not clear her eX-
panded skirts. Her next plan was to sit
down, with her legs dangling between the
the ties but thus the hoops spread all the
wider. Provoking delay for the engineer;
humiliating failure and posture for the
school-marm. "IIold on said she, "I'll
fix it," and then gathering up her limbs
and stretched herself at full length upon
the outer edge of the ties, seized under
meath with one hand the string piece tc
which the rail is spiked and coolly babe the
train pass on. In minute the train
moved over the PROSTATE form without jai
or jolt and the next instant the girl was
on her feet, Fastening towards her expect
ant pupils, before whom she was deter
mined TO be ION time though she disar
ranged dozen railroad time tables.
