1.-THE srA OLE ZOE. >,

This evening, at the Opera House, manager
Ford will present the great spectacular drama,
" the above title. and thrilling performance
may be expected. The play itself is full of in
tensely dramatic situations, and the company
which is to present it ID headed by that fine ar
tist Mr., Mines Levick, and includes the beau
tiful actress Miss Conway. and the bright and
pretty child performer "Iillie Lee."
We cannot speak too kindly Of Manager Ford's
entertainments. He has brought to Wilmington
in times past, some of the very best that our
people have been offered. The performance
this evening will not fall, we are assured, below
the high standard which he has set up. The
thrilling scene in the ice fields will serve to re-
vive in the memories of our citizens the adven-
lures and escapes Of the Arctic explorers, at the
head Of whom stands the name of Doctor Kane
with our people.

dramatic merit whatever on themselves, and
they were probably only designed to give Mr..
Toole opportunity for the presentation Of his
characters. His own work was well done. II
was full of warm humor and irresistible fun.

THE FIRST HERBING.-The first herring Of the
season was taken in the Wicomico, one day last
week. by Samuel Williams of Shad Point, and a
second was captured by John Daily, Of Sharp's
Island, day or so afterwards. These are sure
harbingers Of Spring, as well as the forerunners
of that spirit of manly independence which our
good people below assume at this season. So
far as we can learn active and extensive prepa-
rations have been made by the fishermen along
all the Peninsula rivers, and the prospect is that
the gill and haul senes will be so thick that the
sh ad and herring which reaches head-waters to
spawn will have to weave in and ont around the
nets like an artful dodger before crafty pursu-
er, or frightened partridge escaping through a
stubble from the talons of a hawk. The search
ty of money and the lack of employment will
compel many persons to seek livelihood from
the rivers.

TUE SroRM.--Apart from violence, the storm
OF yesterday was probably the most severe of
the season. Between and 10 A. NJ. snow began
to fall, continuing without intermission until
about p. NJ, when rain set in and
shortly thereafter the streets were everywhere a
sea of slush with pools of water scattered here
and there. III Iods of water ran down the decli-
vties, flooding cellars in many places, but no
damage was done, that we can learn. The
streams were not swollen TO any considerable
extent, though they are expected to rise this af-
to have been a general one, and was spread over
the country as far as we have any intelligence.
