THE STRAW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES day last week
two young gentlemen who live in the town OF
Dayton, in this county, in order to "rasc the
wind sufficiently high to enable them to buy
tickets for the Good Nuti Minstrels, htchcd up
their lightning team, Buck and Bailey" and
armed with n cattle whip and n pole with prod
in it, piled load Of straw upon wagon, and
" gccd" and "hawcd' for town. After success
fully turning the corner Of the first lane Buck
suddenly banked in front of Il load of oats, and
overturned the wagon and spilled out the straw.
After loading up and of course losing over half
of the straw, they then went on three miles
further when Bailey got mad because Buck step
ped on one Of the formers fcct-thc northeast
corncrcd one, and slight misunderstanding en-
sued, in which the wagon was again upset
When the straw had been loaded up for the sec
ond time the quantity had diminished to less
than onc-half of its original dimensions. Then
the concern moved on for a couple Of miles, when
it was suddenly confronted by the editor Of the
Ottawa RpuJicm. Such an apparitiOn these
oxen had never dreamed Of in all their lives.
They had seen donkcys, without much trcpida-
ton: .hcy had once gazcd in establishment upon
an elephant at a show; they had been visited by
nightmare, after dcyoHrng quarter-scction Of
pumpkins; but the siSht Of this thing was too
much, or course they ran away, and for seven
miles they scattered that straw. The uulucby
BOYS followed, and wherever they could find
enough cf it in a place to make q decent blaze
burned it up, and didn't go to the Ministries.

Mrs, Scott Siddons,

Our people have the promise of a treat far
above any Ottawa is ordinarily favored with, in
the readings of the famous Mrs Scott Siddons, at
the Opera House next Tuesday evening. She
comes here on the urgent invitation Of the ladies
OF the Episcopal and Congregational churches,
and gives them one of her choicest programmes.
There is no talent, or gift rather, Qor good rea-
ders, like poets, are born, not madeO so rare as
that OF being good reader. The numberaof rea-
ders equal to Mrs. Siddons hardly averages one
to generation, Fanny Kemble Butler, 30 years
ago, was some such woman, and those who
heard her treasure her memory is precious in
connection with delight no wealth again could
purchase. Few people of Ottawa will perhaps
ever have another opportunity to hear Mrs. Sid
dons, and may ever after regret it if they now let
it pass.
The programme for Tuesday evening will be
substantially as follows:
Scenes from much Ado About Nothing. .....
Shakespeare
Lazy Siaic lennyson
Anne hathaway; or, Shakespeare's Wooing. 49,.
Shakespeare
The Sleep Walking Scene from Macbeth. ....
Shakespeare.
The CourShip of Henry .........S Shakespeare
The Bridge of Signs. ......................Hoo Hood

THE ETHESCoPE.-Thc constant rain all week
doubtless debarred nine-tenths of the people of
Ottawa from witnessing the nightly exhibitions
from Monday to Friday evening, at Turner Hall,
given by the Daniels Keller 81 Perkins Comic
Opera Troupe, the strong point of whose "show"
was the "Ethescope." 1t is a combination of
mirrors and transparent glass in such way that
wholly without seeing how it is done the exact
image of any object can be reflected upon the
stage or be made to fly through the air or dart
through the floor, wall, keyhole, &c. as COM
pletely as if a genuine spirit or ghost OF course
the manifestations" are purely scientific, vet in
the highest degree novel and pleasing. Fancy
the real head of man appearing before you and
talking, singing songs, &c; or headess body
violently gestculatng to you to put head on
him." or a man darling about horizontally in the
air, talking, gestculating, &c. These are but
the simplest among thousand feats of the Eth
escope. Accompanying these marvellous demon
STATIONS runs little play, such as the Haunted
Man, Faust, and Others infinitely comical and
diverting, in which, of course, the frlghtful, or
grotesque, or ma.adroit appearance of spirits
and ghosts, cuts the chief figure. Miss Ivy Dan.
ies and Miss +. Keller, as lady characters either
in the comic or more serious scenes, show them
selves actresses very much above the average
while Mr. Perkins in a variety of characters, sucl
as the Haunted Man, or as rolicking lrishmal
or q drunken scapc grace, is almost peerless, ant
Mr.. Keller in the various characters he assume
shows himself an accomplished actor Our onl.
surprise is, that this Telescope, which shows it
self capable of producing such infinitely various
and startling and extraordinary, as well as pleas
ing and beautiful effects should be allowed tC
travel as a country show hardly above the Punch
and Judy order in prctcnsions, when it could be
made such a potent and magnificent accessor,
to stage effects if mounted on a grand scale
Even in its present humble garb, we never saw
more pleasing show. What it may be made re
mains for some genius of a stage manager yc
! to say.
