UNCLE TOMS CABIN.-The old play of I'm
Gle Toms Cabin was brought out last night at
Music Hall to small house. Mrs. G. G. How

might have been expected from those who
knew her only by reputation. These who saw
Mrs. Calder in the same role at the Museum
last fall say that her rendering oflthe part was
much better than Mrs. Towards. The sup
port was not first class, and many of the most
startling situations in tie play called forth
scarcely sound of applause.

A Defaul,ing Omcial.

Some time since it was rumored that A. o.
Fields, collector of taxes of Falmouth, for the
years 1873 and 1874, was unable to account to
the town for quite large sum of money.
Within the past two weeks the Se.ectmen have
been investigating the matter and find a def
cheney of $500. Mr.. Fields gives no explana-
ton respecting the deficiency, but it is under
stood that the money was frittered away by
indulging in more expensive manner of liv-
ing than his means warranted. Good teams
were a delight of the defaulting collector. He
remains at his home but has surrendered his
colectorship and resigned. His bonesmen
have taken the books. At the town meeting
Monday, D. F. Small, Esq, was chosen collec-
tor to secure the un,ollected balance. His
bondsmep, Messrs A. F. Winslow, Alfred
Hicks, Daniel Merrill and Thomas Fields, are
amply able to save the town, and have already
signiied their purpose to assume the response
bility Mr.. Fields is Democrat.

THE LUNKHEAD COURT DIsTURBED.-Last
evening the Lunkhead Court, which meets in a
certain room on the corner of Bracket and
Gray streets, was disturbed by large stone
coming through one of the windows The
members of the court gave chase and captured
two boys, who were locked up and Deputy
Marshal Williams sent for. The Deputy took
the boys to the station and they gave the names
of the whole crowd connected with the affair.
The remainder of them will be arrested this
morning. A large number of boys have been
in the habit of disturbing the occupants of this
room for some time, but last night they went
further than they meant to- The stone which
went through the window narrowly escaped
striking an elderly gentleman on the head.
A MEDICAL SfUDENT.-A young lady in this

try kerosene. Alopathic quantities of the il.
Illuminating fluid were applied at night and the
cat placed in her little bed. In the morning
the disciple of Esculapius visited her patient
with high hopes that the prescription had prov
ed successfu-that the cat was fealess-but

cat was not

MISCELLANY.

The New York Times expresses
very widely entertained feeling in these
pithy and well-deserved words:
"Ever since this Beecher-Tilton scan
dal staggered and sneaked disreputably
into public notice. it has proved an
equal occasion of amazement and dis
gust, having moreover not without
tinge of ridiculous mingling with its
horrors. It has revealed state of NOR
ais and manners in a wealthy, an influ-
entiaI, and, we are compelled to say, an
intelligent community, which, to say
the least of il, is astonishing. People
without that wide circle had no notion
whatever of what was going on within it;
and indeed, to put the idiom in its most
familiar form, such "goings on" were
quite hey ond the ken of the ordinary
decent common-sensible folk who might
formerly have been accepted as fair rep
resentatives of good: reputable, and
tolerably-educated American society.
1t has been said that half the world
does not know how the other half lives;
and it seem to be equally true that one
part of it has no notion how another
part acts and talks. Had we any notion
that those Plymouth prayings and
preachings covered such an amount of
kissing and coddling of each other by
bearded men, and of blubbering and
blabbing among both the men and the
women, who seem to have been unable to
keep their own counsel or their faces
straight for twenty four hours together?'

The Reward of the Single.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean rises to sug-
gest ain view of the many weddings re-
sorted to by married persons for the pur-
pore, as is alleged by a respectable un-
married person, of laying their friends
under contribution of wooden spoons,
tin kettles, china cups, silver, gold, and
precious stones, the spinsters and bache-
lors of the United States deem it unjust
to themselves, and the efforts they so
frequently make to pacify, wheedle, or
otherwise conciliate the offspring of the
married persons aforesaid; that they
should be denied the pleasure Of CEN
tennial or anniversary to commemorate
their own singleness of purpose and un-
finching efforts in the cause of family
peace. When bachelor has completed
his twentieth year an appropriate off
reing might be gift-of receipted tail
ors' bills, or perhaps a set of boxing
materials, or a volume of Tupper.
Thirty years of Loneliness could be neat
ly ushered in with gift of pipes, cigars
and other utensils for the adornment of
the silent chamber. Forty years-well!
A bottle of hair dye or Burton's ANA
tony of Melancholy would come in
appropriately, and the half hundred
might be celebrated by the present of
wig, or wigs of different shapes and sizes.
After that age there is no better gift
than neat thing in coffins, or tomb
stone detailing all the virtues of the
single one. For a maiden, presents are
always. in order up TO the age of thirty.
After that the anniversaries might be
tastefulIy varied by gifts of embroidery,
teapots, little bottles for holding scents,

A Hint to the Girls.

The editor of the Herald of Health,
excellent authority in such matters,
gives il as the result of his experience
and observation as physician that Il
large number of girls ailments are due
to idleness, and the consequent ennui,
and that the nerve forces are as self
destructive as an unrestrained locomo-
tive engine would be, which, if not
properly directed, would injure every
thing with which it came in contact, or
soon cripple itself. We have seen la
mentabIe instances of girls among the
middle classes whose bodily and moral
health had been ruined bp ignorant par
ents. The strong right-minded girls
are those who have been well educated
at school or college, and who are con-
stantly engaged in work for themselves
or others, who are employed at drawing,
sculpture, languages, or even science;
while the sickly, complaining creatures,
who are ever on the doctors hands, are
those who are doing nothing. The au-
thority says that one of the most chronic
cases of by terra he ever knew was cured

INSURANCE CASES,
THE GREAT WESTERN.

8peei17 Daspatch to The CA.raao 1y7bune.
WAsu1sGToH, D. G., Nov. G.--The Great West
ern Insurance cases. from Chicago, will be
argued in the United States Supreme Court
Monday. There are eight cases which pract,-
cally turn upon the issues Of the three cases
which stand first in the calendar. The glst Of
the case is this: The policy provided
that the assessments should be made by the
Directors upon the call Of the stockholders.
The cali WAS mnde by the Court. The Court
made the order. The first ground taken ID that
the Court has nor the authority to do this.
Another point is that the action should have
been in equity and not at law. There are also
several questions OF practice coming up
between the Circuit and District Courts.
The questions are new. All Of
the cases hinge upon the frat ones. There ase
sonla variations in the different cases. The
6rst is Cartor against Upton. Tire second is
Myer against Upton. Tho third is Major
against Upton These are the earliest OF
the caaca- The decision will turn upon these
cases. Tho aggregate interest involved in all
these cases is perhaps 100000. There ere
many other caaos depending upon those cases
in Michigan, Iowa, and Utah.
