MISS GABRIELLA McKEAN,
the star actress, Mr.. Frank G. Camp
bell and Mr.. Garfield will appear in
their favorite parts.
From the Jacksonville (Florida) Union,
April 10th.
For two nights past we have enjoyed
the admirable acting of 4. b. Brown, s
inimitable Dramatic Company This
Troupe came among US last Thursday
night unheralded and without the adj
ventitious aid of advance advertising.
But true merit will make itself felt,
even under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances. The truth is, the mem
bers Of this Troupe are artists all OF
| them, artists of distinction and merit,
culled from other companies, and Sc
lected with view to the special talent
of each. The result is theatrical
company which may we'll challenge
comparison with the best organized
stock companies to be found on the
boards even of our largest theatres
Miss Gabrielle Mexican, the leading
actress of the Troupe, to personal
charms of unusual attractiveness, adds
the rarer grace of remarkable dramat.
ic abilities, while Miss Lottie Rain.
ford, scarcely her inferior in either re.
spect, would prove valued ornamen
to any company with which she nigh
be connected. Mr.. Harry Brown is
trump out and out, an actor of marked
distinction and ability in any charac
ter in which he may appear. Mr.. 2
j. Wade is also performer of unusua
, merit Nor do these enumerations b,
any means exhaust the talent of tn!
company; there are others who equalli
deserve to be mentioned, but our limit
| do not allow of our entering into de
. tail. Suffice it, that it is the unani
nous verdict of this community tina
the present is the finest dramatic com
pany that has appeared in this plac
for many. MANY wears. We assure on
t friends of the press that it is perfect
lysafe to praise this company in advanc
which is more than can be safely as
serted of the most of other travelin
trOupes.

1874, the following preamble and reso-
buttons were offered by brother I. P.
Howard, and unanimously adopted by
a vote of the Grange:
WHEREAS, In the opinion of this
Grange, we consider and look upon
the crop and stock reports, as the most
important of all reports from the sub
ordinate Oranges and
Whereas, At present, the reports
are imperfect, in consequence of there
being no settled or fixed lines between
the different Oranges of this county
Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Master of thi:
Grange, be requested to call meeting
of the Masters and Crop and Stock
Committees, of all the Oranges in the
county, to meet at some suitable time
and place, and adopt the most suitable
means of laying off or fixing the boun
dairy lines between the different Gran.
ges, so that our monthly crop anC
stock reports my be more accurate
and correct; and be it further
Resolved, That the Oranges of -th'
different counties and States, togethe
with Councils, where it has not al
ready been done) be requested to tax,
the above matter into consideration
and adopt the best means Of getting
up full and accurate crop and stool
reports, so that the whole interest o
the Order may be benefited.

SOME of the twenty-cent tax men
shelter themselves under the assump-
ton that a curtailment of the expen-
ses of the State government will Obvi-
ate the necessity for high rate of
taxation. We agree with them that
much may be saved by rigid economy
The cost to the people growing out of
the prosecution of criminals is a mon
strous evil and demands the grave con-
sideration of the Legislature. Some
thing should be done with the entire
judiciary, that will make justice cheap
and certain. The rules of practice
need revision so as to prevent the de-
lays in bringing to trial, cases which
linger on the docket from term to
term. in the Courts of original juris-
diction, to be carried at last to the Su-
preme Court for reversal or afirma-
tion-the costsincreasing all the while.
And in these days of excessive taxation,
it is question of grave consideration,
whether it would not be wise and
economical, to give Circuit Judges,
Chancery jurisdiction. 1t is done in
many of the States and seems to give
satisfaction-it certainly curtails the
costs which the taxpayers are bur
dened with. If economy is to be the
watchword, let it pressed as far as
can be safely be done. Give each
county a workhouss, class as petty
larceny, all thefts of value less than
fifty dollars, and make the thief work
it out on public improvements in the
town and county. Dispense with ju-
ries in civil cases, unless demanded by
one of the htigants, who shall pay the
cost of the jury. 1t is as sound policy
to keep people from going to law as to
give them fair chance when they do.
