the Critics Say.
Your accomplished young country
woman, Miss Emma Abbott made her
first appearance before a Dublin audi
ance last Tuesday night in Italian
opera, and achieved success. The
Dublin audiences have much musical
taste they have many opportunities OF
becoming acquainted with good music
and good singers. There is always a
considerable sprinkling of profession ais
among them, which helps to guide them
i'm technical matters. Hence operatic
singers usually attach special impor-
tance to a visit to Dublin.
/, The part selected for Miss Abbott's
debut was "Margherita," in Gounod's
"Faust-an ambitious role, when we
remember how many distinguished wo-
men have adopted IL. There had
been no trumpeting of her praises in the
press, but it was generally known that
she had abilities far above the average
of young debutantes, and a large audi
ence was. assembled in the Theater
Koyal to heac her. At her coming. on
the stage 1t was plain that her mere ap-
pearance had made a favorable impress
sion. She Possesses graceful, finely
modelled figure, most expressive fttce.

THE secret is out that the suppression
by the Democrats of Columbus yester.
day of the entire edition of the Cincin
natl Sunday Commercial was due to the
fact that it contained a piece of Demo-
cratic poetry calculated to give intor-
nation to the enemy through vague
hints embraced in the last couplet. Let
the sovereigns of Columbus possess their
souls in patience, as the incendiarism
was doubtless perpetrated by some Abb
plltionist wolf from Kentucky in Demo
cratic disguise. Newport, for instance,
has long been noted for her Abolition
poets.

II, Il, Barnum's Greatest Show
on Earth and Hail Columbia Holiday, a
keene and ClaremOnt.

The memorable Centennial National
Anniversary, which we all feel disposed
to celebrate, in one way and another,
seems to have inspired z. t. Barnum
with still vaster ideas and even more
ambitious purposes, which have assumed
tangible form in the stupenduous and
novel tent entertainments which he will
bring to Keene the 18th inst, and Clare
mont Friday, the 18th inst, on three
monster special trains of his own solid
steel cars. 1t is an enterprise far ex-
ceeding, in every respect, any of his pre-
vious and unparalleled managerial tri-
jumps, and combines completely be-
wildering number Of distinguished fea-
lures, the half of which one sees for
nothing, while the other half is worth
ten times the price charged. In fact,
how Mr.. Barnum can afford to show so
much for so little is a conundrum, the
practical solution of which we are con-
tent to leave to him, while we enjoy the
results of his far-reaching acquisitive-
ness and ceaselessly active brain.
And Mr.. Barnum is patriotic as well
as public-spirited. Not only has he
provided US by far the greatest show on
earth, and put $4,000 live Hippopot-
anus into it, to crown its wonders, but
with it deliberately planned glorious

Peruvian syrup VS.. Alcoholic TONES.

1t has been a desideratum with the
medical profession to procure prepara-
tion Of iron less Objectionable than any
of those now in use, which often produce
unfavora BILE effects upon the system, es-
pecially when prepared with alcoholic
fluids.
In many cases of debility and conva-
lescence from disease, where tonic is in
dictated, wine, brandy. porter, &c, have
been recommended but these are of
very doubtful efficacy, to say the least.
Alcohol is never digested, is ranked
among the diffusible stimula, and is in
capable of afiording nutrition. 1t ere
ates generally an unnatural excitement
and arrangement of the circulation, ir-
ritating the whole system by preventing
the blood from losing its carbon. Again,
how difficult it is to obtain an article APP
preaching to purity, almost all the
wines, brandies, porters, &c, being more
or less adulterated.
Such being the case with regard to
the spurious preparations of iron, and
the alcoholic drinks, Of which any one
can satisfy himself by investigating the
subject, an opportunity is now presented
in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, for the trial Of
an article in general practice, which has
the every strongest recommendations from
medical and scientific men of the high
est character-a preparation which so
happily combines the protoxide of iron
with the other constituent parts that the
effects incident to the use of iron salts
are entirely obviated.
For all cases in which iron or any
tonic is needed this preparation is con,
fidently believed to be far superior to
any other. 1t seems to purify the very
fountain of health.

Tilden's letter Of acceptance was first
published last Saturday. 1t is very
lengthy and given to special pleading
with his party in the east and the west
on the financial question, wherein he
tries to harmonic the hard and soft ele-
ments, somewhat after the skill of the
artful dodger" or the elder Van Blu
rem. The letter is disappointment to
many of his own party and has added
no strength to his position or that of the
democracy. No notice whatever is made
of the South Carolina massacre, where.
IN he had a strong opportunity. His
sympathies do not run in that direction.
With his party he declared in 1864 that
the war for the union was failure, and
he does not go back on that declaration,
and it is now left for the people of the
country to endorse or reject him and his
record.

Fire at West Burke.
CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.

NAlAl4b d. ~ DEATH.
Ernie and George Smith, aged five
and three years respectively, children of
John M. Smith, residing in West Burke,
having secured some matches on Satur-
day last, slipped into the barn adjoining
the house, and went overhead to amuse
themselves by lighting them. They had
been gone but few minutes, when the
elder ran out and said the barn was afire.
The younger child, caught by the fire
spreading through the hay, was unable
to escape and was partially consumed,
the trunk and part of the head only re-
naming. The flames spread to the house
and destroyed that, and also the house
and barn of Hilman Water and Morris
Vane. The whole village being threat
ened word was sent to Lyndonville and
st. Johnsbury for aid. The first named
place Immediately sent two car loads of
men who were sufficient to check the fire
without the aid of St. Johnsbury where
they loaded cars with engine and men
ready if wanted. Total loss about $4,000.
Total insurance, $4,000.
