The Southern Dramatic Club.

The performance given last night at the St.
Charles Theater, by the Southern Dramatic
Club, attracted quite large and appreciative
audience The play was written by Mr.. B. P.
Colinsky, a member Of the club, who has hereto
fore given evidence of his ability both an actor
and dramatist.
The drama has the merit of being entirely
original. The author has discarded all the
formulated habits Of modern dramatists and
conceived plot entirely novel, and for this he
deserves special commentator.
We regret that our want of time and space for
bids our giving q more extended notice Of the
performance, and we must content ourselves
with complimenting Messrs. Colinski, Cefslu and
Redon, on the admirable manner in which they
rendered their roles. Miss Amelia Waugh too,
deserved the applause she received. We are
compelled to postpone our notice OF the play and
performance until later date.

the Hon. K. M. Lusher, will reopen his justly
celebrated school for boys, on Monday, the 9th Of

the friendship and love Of his pupils, and through
them the attachment OF their parents. The cur

branches, the modern and. ancient languages,
and in the teaching Of these he is most efficiently
assisted by able and experienced instructors.

THE RIO BRAVO SAFE.
She is at Anchor in Sabine Pass.
The Revenue Cutter Dix to Tow Her to
GalvestO ton.

We are under obligations to the Ocean
Towboat and Telegraph Company for the fol-
lowing copy of telegram received by Capt.
@. A. Babcock, United States steamship
Canonicus, from Capt E. A. Freeman, COM
handing Revenue Cutter John A. Dix:
ORANGE, Texas, $50 A. NJ, Aug 81, 1876.
To Com'r. c. A. Babcock, U. s. N, Commanding
U. 8. Ironclad Oanonicus, New Orleans, La:
Rio Bravo at anchor in Sabine Pass.
Canandaigua can do no good. Cutter Dix
will tow to Galveston when weather suits.
E. A. FREEMAN Captain.
The Canandaigua had been ordered by the
Department at Washington to proceed to the
of the Rio Bravo, but she grounded
on the bar, and the cutter Dix, it appears,
having gone at once to the rescue, has sue
ceeded in pulling the stranded steamer into
deep water. 1t seems little surprising that
Capt Kells should have jumped so hastily to
the conclusion that his vessel was "wreck,"
when the result proves she was not seriously
damaged, or at least not sufficiently so,
as to prevent her being pulled of
and repaired. As the Rio Bravo is TO
be towed to Galveston, we conclude
The damages she sustained are slight,
md that she can be readily put in sea trim
again. So the Mexican border ruffians may
expect after all to have taste of her metal,
md to hear the music of her Gatlin guns.

The regular Fall edition of the NEW ORLEANS
sEMr-ANNu.L TRADE GUIDE, published by Mr.. D.
Webster, No. 10 Camp street, has reached us
and many ofsous readers simultaneously. It il
really marvel that any advertising medium
South should have reached the mature age OF
ten gears, but such appears to be the good for
tune Of the GUIDE, this being the nineteenth
number Of that paper. The publisher fatters
himself that its continued prosperity is to be-
attributed to the intrinsic merits Of the work,
and handsome returns to its patrons. It's use
fitness is readily accounted for when we know
the admirable method Of distributing the GUIDE.
which is the most effective that could be adopted.
Twelve Thousand Q2,000) copies OF each num-
Der are mailed free throughout the States Of Ar
kansas, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,
Texas, ETC., direct to merchants, planters and
others, who are bona tide purchasers, or would
become such in our market upon the proper
representations. The publisher is enabled to
reach desirable class Of buyers by ue ing sys.
tenn Of late revisons and references Of the mer-
camille agency Of r. G. Dun & Co., Of which he
IL the representative in this CITY, Mobile and
throughout Texas. His une 1uaed facilities en-
allie him to reach the buyer direct; no copy is
mailed to an irresponsible party or those known
to be without the proper commercial standing;
thus, the Guide doubly benefits its patrons.
Among our country friends IL il looked upon as
L" the old reliable" and full confidence given to
the representations OF the publisher, knowing
full well that the patrons Of his book are entitled
to their proper consideration.
To meet, In spirit Of appreciation, the recent
acknowledgements Of the many advantages
offered by New Orleans for the trade of MEXICO
and adjacent points, as fully discussed in late
issue Of that sterling journal, the "REvIsTA
UNIVERSAL" Of the City Of Mexico, it is the in
tention OF the publisher to tend number Of
copies Of the Guide" to Mexico, uba, and
khrp,x FL l..
ing our valid claims for the trade Of those Sec
tons. Claims based upon superiority OF topo-
graphical position, regular connecting lines Of
steamers railroads, our great river and its tribu-
taries, large and varied stocks of miscellaneous
goods, and the we'll known business qualifications
and merits Of our commercial men. Any publi-
cation intelligently STRIVING to increase the bnsi-
ness OF our city this does is certainly entitled
to it's well-merited patronage. The next num-
Der Of this valuable trade circular will appear on
the LIST Of January 1876.

WIFE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

And now Young America is buck
ling on his books and preparing for the
re-opening Of the public schools, which
takes place on the 23d of the present
month. Already his countenance is
assuming an elongated cast, and he re.
luctantly quits brook and mountain
revelries for the tresome task of spell
ing lessons and multiplication tables
Oh! for the days when we were boy
when we could stub our toe and laul. h
at the mishap-when maturing bank
notes gave no forebodings-when our
only dread appeared to be the winding
up of vacation days. But as we can't
be boy again, there is some consola-
tion in knowing that boys have their
gloomy hours as well as we of the
maturer class and that The most potent
of these times is the tlnkling OF the
school bell which calls them to study.
The schools will continue open for
four months, when there will be a va.
cation of ten days, to give teachers and
scholars a.chance of enjoying the holy
days. They will then reopen. and
continue FIVE months longer-thus Civ
Ing us nine months Of school time du-
ring the year.
In Lehighton we have a large, airy,
and well ventilated cchool house, and
the teachers chosen for the various po-
sitions are persons who have been tried
and found 10 be competent. The same
may be said OF Packerton and the Other
districts in the vicinity. This healthy
state of affairs can be attributed in {
great measure to the untiring zeal ma
infested by our present excellent Coun
ty Superintendent, r. f. Hoford, Esq
lie has proven himself most compe-
tent public Officer and the fact tina
the various Directors have continued
linn for the fourth or fifth term, is th'
best indication that his learning AM
abilities are duly appreciated.

Little Giant Chemical Fire Engine.

On Thursday evening last a large
number of our citizens assembled on
the rising grounl, Immediately in the
rear of the Public Square, to witness u
tlial of the capacity of the above En-
gine, bi ought here for the purpose by
an agent OF the Company from New
York. A large quantity of shavings,
lumber, barrels, aud other combustible
material was placed on heap, and fire
attached. After giving the fire suGi-
cient time to get fairly under way, the
Engine was brought into reluisition,
.2nd in less than two minutes the flames
were completely subdued. The exper>
iment was tried two or three times to
the satisfaction of all present.
The price of the Engine is $500 and
now that it has been tried, and cot
found wanting, it remains for the pro.
perty owners Of Lehighton to deter
mine whether This small sum shall be
expended, or Whether they are willing
to sit with folded hands and risk their
properly to the mercy of the clement
at any time it may see proper to
visit us.
Common prudence would seem to in
innate that we go to work, and not
stand on the order OF doing, but do at
once-and raise the required means, and
thus place ourselves in 9 safe position.
The Engine is simple in its construc-
ton, and can be thoroughly manned
by FIVE persons. 1t can be seen at the
Tobacco Store of Mr.. Brady, at which
place special meeting of the Lehigh
Hook and Ladder Company will be
held on this Saturday evening, at 7 12
o'clock.
