The FMrb1sh Combination.

We regret exceedingly that troupe of
such excellent merit as that which has ap-
peared at the Grand Opera House for the
past two nights, should have received such
. poor encouragement at the hands of the
Wilmington people. There are causes for
this, and reasonable ones too; Wilmington
has been imposed upon sadly by migratory
Fragments Of good troupes, performing the
same pieces which the Furbish combination
produced, and they appeared to such poor
advantage in inferior hands, that our people
were forced to deduce Impressions, although
erroneous ones, as to their value. This is
the only reason that suggests the poor
houses at the Masonic Temple for the past
two nights, for this combination is really an
excellent one, and fully deserves encourage.

[From a N. Y. Herald Special.

District Attorney Wells announces his
purpose to call the safe burglary case OF
Richard Harrington as soon as he can make
arrangements for that purpose. The ver-
dict of the jury has acquitted Messrs. Bah.
cock and Somerville, and Whitley and
Nettleship have been released from prose
cution by nolle prosequies, so that Harring
ION and the actual burglars, Miles alias
Bliss, and Bown alias Benton, who We're
employed to blow the safe, alone remain
under indictment. There is, however, an
other Indictment against Harrington, found
on the 10th of Jane last, and charging him
with receiving, in October, 1878, bribs OF
S13, 1000 from Hope H. Slater, who had
been convicted Of murder at The Scheutzen-
fest, not to oppose effectively the motion of
Skaters counsel for new trial. Lis sal,
that Harrington will make full std |bemeni
in relation to his connection with the saf.
burglary, and let the court and jury pass
upon it, so that all the facts being admitted
no witnesses will be needed, and the case
will be a short one.
