Thoro was hint to Mr. DAILY, In the fine
house Of last evening, that novelty or paramount
oxcollence must DO the alternative II ho wishes
to draw to Hooley'8 Theatre tho best OF Chicago
audiences. II was proof, too, TINT there exists
in the city taBto foE old comedy. "Londou
Assurance" may not in point Of date, belong to
that brilliant galaxy OF dramas thus designated,
but 1t possesses ono claim to being thus honored
its excellence. No wonder 1t act London aRape
with surprise. We cannot find such mellow nit til
aaln this choice comedy nowadays, oven when our
best dramaturgtsts do thoir bent. 1t is long

smoothneBa and brilliaucy as last evon.
Ing. 1t was not actually f1Rwloss. The
blemishes we're plain to everybody iu tho audi

aro willing to overlook with self-compacenoy
much misplaced. Ono or two OF the players al,-
peared IN their respective parts for the first tlno,
and therefore showed nervousness rather pain
full than otharwise. But others appeared at tl,oir
quaintance aud of natural adaptation.
The most pronounced figure was tho Sir Uar-
court CourflU OF h1r. Charles Fisher, character
20 utterly antIpodhl to that OF BarriH that no
cellenco OF the ona did not aunihilato all possi-
bility Of tho other. As drawn by Air. FiHher,
Sir Harcoures vanity preaominated to tho verge
Of monomania, which, with tho exaggerated IT.

Terrible Calamity.

BosroN, Mass, May 16.-TMss
great water-reservoirs, situated iH
Hampshire county, Western Massachu-
setts along the line of the New Haven
aud Northampton Railroad, burst this
morning, completely sweeping away the
three manufacturing villages Of Leeds,
Haydenville and Williamsburg.
Scarcely a building is left standing.
At last accounts seventy lives had been
lost. The operator at HaydenviHe
says that several bodies have been
found.
The reservoirs were used to supply
the streams in that vicinity in dry sea
sons, but the heavy rains last night
burst them. They were situated shres
eight'sand ten miles; respectively, from
Haydenville.
At this writing the waters are sui
siding. The destruction of property II
not less than $lO.000,000.
BosroN, Mass, May l6.-The vil-
lagos affected by the disaster are
Williamsburgh, Haydensyille, Leeds.
and Florence. located on Mill river, a
tributary to the Connecticut, running
into the latter at Northampton
The mills on the stream have al
been carried away, and included brass
works, button-hole factories, silk and
cotton mills, brush factories, agricul-
tural implements, and basket factories,
etc. !; besides, saw aud grist mills
The manufacturing capital invested
along Mill river is estimated at s., ,O0O,-
900, and the immediate damage effect
ed is $1,000, 900. The valuation of
Willansbursh, a farming aud manu-
featuring town, is nearly 100000.
PERSONAL, and the number of dwell
ing houses in both Williamsbnrgh and
Haydensvile, which is settlement in
that town, was about 500.
The station agent of the New Haven
and Northampton Road, at Florence,
was drowned also his wife At the
same place many persons were swept
down the river. and many bodies have
passed down the stream, it being inn
possible to secure them on account of
the current.
The reservoir dams were all most
substantially constructed, in the most
approved modern manner. A later dis
patch says that 100 lives were lost.
So great Is the excitement that it is
impossible to get details.
