The entire country is being oyerrun and in
t,sted with 4 gang Of travelling persons soliciting
old liicnesscs to copy enlarge and frame. Many
persons are made to believe that the work is
done, or to be done, at my well known gallery
issue this caution from the fact that | hear
almost daily Of these impositions being practiced
by many Of these unprncipled, irresponsible
frauds falsely representing themselves to be my
agents. / hare no agents ercept those employed in
my gallery Persons having valuable old like
nesses had better keep them in their own posses
sion or take them to some well known gallery of
responsibility nearer home. just as good copies
can be made in La Sale county as can be made
any where, and with but little or no risk oflosing
the original pictures, o. getting hastily executed

HOME THEATRIcALs-Luck was against our
home theatrical company on Thursday evening"
in giving them about the rainiest, muddiest
nastiest night we haye had this winter. The
rain commenced about o'clock, and the fall
kept on steadily increasing until toward mid
night. So the house, which during the day gave
such cheerful promise of being jam, was less
than half filed, and the receipts were probably
under $50 instead of $500, as they ought to have
been.
AS TO the performance, it was indisputahy the
best exhibition of purely home theatricals We
have thus far had We have no motive for in
dulging in cXtravagant audation, but may be
accused OF 1t by such as were not present when
we say that we have had quite notable stars
come to Ottawa with big name, and yet give us
poorer acting than We saw on Thursday evening.
1t would probably be OVERRIDING the thing to
name and praise each performer in detail, yet we
must be permitted to say that in their respective
roles we have never seen on our Ottawa stage
better acting than that of Mrs. Prescott rs the
! charming widow, Mrs. Delmainc, or of Mr.. Per
kins, as the gay and festive Captain Murphy Ma
guire; and then Mr. Clark AS Aminadab Sleek,
and Mrs. Armstrong as Lady Creamy, what
could possibly be better? And Mr.. Hull as
Charles Torrens, and Miss Phelps, as the dutiful
wife, Miss Nash as the rebelious little sister,
and Miss Osman, as Simpson-how can any of
them be criticised, or wherein was any at fault
| In the farce Arthur Bartels, who won % much
applause in tAr "ualon Spy" a. n negro charac,
| ter, showed that he was equally able to shine as
an Irish character, his Brian OI.inn being little
| if any behind John Dillon in the same character.
But it is needless to 20 over the names again.
All did remarkably well-there was positively no
failure or the part 81 any, and the company Us
whole did better than ninc-tcnths of the best
city stock companies ordinarily do
, We hope this is by no means the last we shall
see of this company. While we can get up such
entertainments at home, it is folly to be paying
our money for the class Of amusements foreign
companies so frequently impose upon us,

The Professors lecture on the antiquity of man
we find is pretty sharply criticised by "A. c."
which We take to be the short for DR.. Cleghorn,
meets the Professors facts in support of his the
DRY Of the high antiquity of man, and dcmolishcs
them pretty eflectually one by one, and then
concludes as follows:
Sir Charles Lyell, whose geological knowledge
will not be questioned, has fully explained the
deposits of bones found in the caves of France,
all OF recent date. He gives facts and figures
explaining the succession of forests, and shows
how rapidly this is brought about. He lucidly
explains how human bones and works of
art are found at great depth in the earth,
and mentions a case where human bones were
found at the depth OF ninety feet And, 50 Tar
from believing in or advocating "thc high an,
tiauity" Of man, hip expressly declares that man
must be regarded by the geologist as a creature
Of Yesterday" and that "the 'o'c aniquity of our
species is not contr0yerted by Gny experienced
geologSt; and that it "is never pretended (by any
Experienced geoogisD that our race coexisted
with assemblages Of animals and plants, of which
all or e,en large portion Of the species are extinct
What think you of such testimony from such a
man? Prof. Clark says, all geotogistS are con
vinced from geological evidence of the high an
tquity of man.
Sir Charles Lyell says, no experienced geologiSt'
can believe any such thing, for that geological
evidence compcls him to believe that "man is Il
creature of yesterday" leave Prof Clark, with
.n::s purllc reasoning, in the hands of Sir Charles
Lycll.
I love the study Of geology, and have for many
years and In The interest of this science | have
felt compelled to rsp the above, because the un.
digcsted cXtravagances Of Prof. Clark are not
calculated to give sensible people very high
idea Of its value or the gradeur OF The Creators

DR.. Stout had an adventure on Thursday which
it may be allowable TO laugh over now but which
was no laughing matter ut the time. Having
been on the north side of the canal in the vicinity
of the McCalcb IL Holmes ice house, he proposed
TO take short cut homeward by CLOSING the
canal on the ice. Now it happened that they
had been taking ice but few days ago from the
middle of the canal at that place, and when he
got there the ice was less than an inch thick, not
pcrceiving which the Doctor got regular Joliet
baptism in about - feet OF water. lie gave a
yell of delight, or surprise, or horror then
another for help, and then Selling the strong ice
near him, scrambled out and made a Decline for
