Tar op,RA Housx.-The performance


last evening of the play of "Led Astsy
is worthy of the highest commentator.
The characters were well conceived and
the parts we'll sustained. 1t would be
making Odious comparison to notice
distinctively the performers where
all did 30 WELL but We can
not refrain from commencing Mr.. Boni-
face as Count Chandoce, Mr.. Porter rs
De Lesparre, Mr.. Hawk as Hector Plscide
and Mr.. Loveday as Major O'Hara.
Theladychsracters were all equally well
sustained, Misses Langley, Frazier and
Pike having the most prominent parts, and
each rendering them to entire sstisfac-
tioh. In short the company is composed
of artists, and is one rarely met with out
side of an established theatre in a large
city. One thing, though, we must find fault
with and that is the long intervals between
the acts. 1t is wearying to an audience
to be kept waiting both during the play
and for so late an hour of the evening
This is the only fault We could detect in
the management, and under the circum,
stances, We dare say, it is pardonsble. Oh
course, it would be unreasonable to ex,
pect perfection at this early period ofthC
season.
This afternoon the play Of divorce
will be repeated, and tonight 1.-The &c
nevs. Cross will be rendered. W.
hope Mr.. Hamilton will meet with The
encouragement his efforts so well deserve

How TO SAVE GAs.-In an exchange
we find the following interesting
information in regard to the eco
nomical management Of gas which may
be of interest to our readers: If fame
consumes eight feet per hour, giving the
light Of sixteen candles, and this should
be reduced to six feet, (three-fourth of
eight then, instead of the light being
equal to twelve candles, the theoretical
proportion, it will only be equal to eight
candles, causing loss of thirty-si1 per
cent. SO until lastly, if the flame be re-
duced to one and one-fourth feet per
hour. a small blue fame will be seen
which gives no available light. If you
have four two and one-half feet gas jets
in Your room, making a light equal to
ten candles, throw the four into one,
making a ten foot burner, and You will
have light equal to twenty-eight can
dies.
A careful calculation shows that a
burner consuming one and half feet
gives the light OF one CANDLE burner
consuming three and one-half feet gives
the light of six and half candles; a bur
ner consuming four and One-half feet
gives the light of ten candles burner
consuming seven feet gives the light OF
twelve and one-hslf candles. 1fyou want
a small light, have big burner and turn
it down, for gas coming through large
orifce gives more light than when forced
through a small one. Light is also d.
mnishcd BY using globes, especially OF
ground or painted glass, the latter de-
stroying sixty per cent ofgas.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
DefaleatiOn.
Correspondence Chicago Times.

Correspondence Chicago Times.
RICHMOND, VA, August 81.
Outside of politics, We have only few
local sensations to engage us at present.
One of these is the alleged defalcstion Of
A. II. Perry. General Superintendent of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, to an
amount reaching $4,000 or more. 1t is
said General Vim. G. Wickham, Vice
President of the company, had some an
CRY words with Perry yesterday, which
resulted in all assault from the General,
he slapping Perry on the face and knock
ing him down. 1t is difficult to find out
the full truth of the matter, but the most
probable version is that Perry made
contract for certain steamers to run be-
tween Cincinnati and Huntington, the
latter place being the western terminus
of his road, on the Ohio River, and that
BY secret agreement between himselfsnd
the steamermen, he had been regularly
receiving fifteen per cent. of the contract
price paid by his company. This is un-
derstOod to be at least portion of his
alleged dcfalcation, and is probably the
whole of it, though the reticence Of the
officials of the company prevents IA full
knowledge Of the facts from being OBJ
txined.

FIRST OF THE SEAsoS.-Thcre is a
popular fallScy existing all over the
country that oysters should only be in
dulged in during months which con-
tain the letter "r.' We believed in
this ourselves until last night when
Charley Bshler convinced us that it was
great mistake. He put some Of the de-
licious bivalves before us, and we confess
they tasted IS good as they do in the
winter months. Mr.. Behler will con-
tinue to have them during the season.

AT distance of thirty miles south Of
the Union Pacific railroad, and nine hun
cred miles west of Omaha, great hill of
almost pure sulphur was discovered about
two years ago. This is one of the most
remarkable deposits of native sulphur
in the world. 1t contains only fifteen
per cent. of impurities. In the sulphur
deposits of Sicily, says the Scientific
dn'crican, the pure sulphur is only sixty
five per cent, and hence our western sui
phur is much the most valuable, and
promises to become ere long of great i'm
portance to the Wortd.

dresses not only beautify the ugly-look-

py knack Of making an out-and-ont

SOWING GRASS SEEDS.-Expcricncc
has proved that August or early in Sep
TENDER is the best time, to sow grass seeds.
There is usually sufficient rain at this
season to cause the seeds to terminate.
The young plants will have time to take
sufficient root to stand the scvcrcst cold
Of winter. When sown at this time
there is gain of season, a. clover,
lucerne and several Of the grasses are
sown without grain in August, will give
acutting in the following spring. Should
there be q failure of the seed, an oppor-
tunity to rc-sow will occur in the follow
ing February.

Unanimously Adopted.

Resolred, That the evidence laid before
the examining committee not only does
not afford any foundation for putting the
pastor of this Church, Rev. Henry Ward
Bcecher, upon trial, but on the contrary
establishes to the perfect satisfaction of
this Church his entire innocence and alb
solutc personal purity with respect to all
charges now or hereafter made against
him by Theodore Tilton.
ResoLrcd, That our confidence and love
for our pastor SO far from being dimir-
ished are heightened and dccpened BY
the unmerited suffering$ which he has so
long borne, and thnt we welcome him
with sympathy more tender and a
trust more unbounded than We ever felt
before to his public labor> among lis, t"
our church, our families our homes and
our hearts.

CORRECTIoN-M. Editor:-In your

that am expected to leave town this fall

rs follows:
DURING Prof. 5. Fick's stay sn Wells
