THE DRAMA Kendalls Comedy Com
pany has been playing at Leytze's Hall,
this week, though We regret to say, to
houses not equal to its deserts. The COM
pany is really first-class in all respects,
and very much above the average of trav-
cling theatres. Mr. Kendall himself is an
actor Of much power and versatility, and
few theatres, even in the cities, can boast
leading lady possessing more skill,
grace, taste, and accomplishments than
Miss Kendall. Mr. FELTON,, Mr. Russell,
Mr.. O'Keef1e, Mrs. Miller, and other mem
bers of the company, would acquit them
selves with credit on any stage, and in adj
dition to its hstronic merits, the troupe
by their daily department show them
selves to be self-respecting ladies and
gentlemen. We deem the company emil
IDENTIFY deserving of encouragement, and
we hope that they may have crowded
houses during the remainder of their visit.
Hamlet is the play for tonight, with Mr..
Kendall in the title role. A matinee will
be given tomorrow afternoon, with prices
of admission reduced one-half. The
" Hidden Hand " is the play.

OLD JOHN RoBINsoN's GREAT WORLDS
EXPOSITION exhibits in this city on We'd
nesday, June 2Sth, as will be seen by the
advertisement in this weeks BULLETIN. -
Mr.. Robinsons half century of experience
in the management of shows should teach
him, as it undoubtedly does, just what the
people want. He claims to have the larg-
est travelling show on earth, and is pre-
pared to prove what he says. His circus
department is complete in every particu-
lar, having over 100 star performers. His
museum and aquarium comprise all the
novelties, both instructing and amusing,
that can be obtained by money or research.
On the whole, we think that the show is
well worth the price of admission Re-
member the date, Wednesday, June 2Sth,
and come early.

STAGE COACH UPTURNED.- Last Tues
day evening, the stage running between
Buffalo Grove and Independence, just
after starting from town, met with quite
a severe accident, by which all the pas
sengers were more or less injured
While running at moderate rate, the
nut on the kingbolt came of, causing the
coach to turn over There were six pas
sengers inside, and none of them es-
capped without injury. Tie occupants re-
ceiving the severest injuries were Mr.
Ephriam Jones, of Buffalo Grove, whose
leg was broken near the hip, Mrs. Dana,
the driver, who, though getting no broken
bones, received severe strain, and Mrs.
Chas. Jakway, who escaped with black
eye; all the rest received injuries, though
none very serious. Mr.. Jones was taken
to his son-in-law's,- SC. E. Burr's resi-
dence, where he now remains, and Mrs.
Dana was transported to the house of
Thos. Hunt-her brother-in law, the rest
of the party going to their respective
homes. The accident, though severe,
might have been far worse.

| AN ANATOMICAL ECCENTRrCITY. - A
correspondent at Rowley sends us de-
scription of an abnormal development of
pig, or rather two pigs in one, which a
farmer south of that town discovered in
his pig-pen few days since. 1t had the
following appearance: The hind parts of
both pigs were perfect and natural. They
were joined at the umbilical cord, and
from that to the forward legs they pre-
sented the appearance of one pig. There
were two legs on the back and two in
front By close examination the separa-
ton of the bones of the thorax could be
felt. All separation of bones that can be
moved is lost in the neck. There are two
ears on the back of the head, and ono on
each side. In what appears to be the sep
aration of the skull are two cavities
which stand for undeveloped eyes. There
were two distinct noses and only one
mouth to all appearances. The hard pal
ate has an opening at the front part, and
projecting from this is what appears to be
the tongue of one pig; below the palate,
in the larger mounth, there is no tongue
perceptible, but in the back part are what
appears to be two separate Threats. 1t is
certainly most curious freak of nature,
and If it had lived would undoubtedly
have made the fortune of some Snowman.
1t is preserved in alcohol, and may be
seen at the drug store at Rowley.
