AMUSEM ENTS.
JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

A very good audience attended the per-
Torrance at the Opera House last night.
The play was "The Gladiator" and Mr..
McCullough's "Spartscus" excelled his
.Vrginius" of the previous evening,
although there were some parts OF his
performance last night that were de.
cidedly tame, and will bear improve
ment. Especially is this so in the act
where "Spartscus" rescues "Senora'
from the Romans, in whose hands she was
held captive. The scene between the
husband and wife on their reunion lacked
expression, and was not in the least nat
ural. Towards the end of the play,
however, Mr.. Mccullough warmed up TO
a great extent, and In the last two acts
is certainly deserving OF credit as an
artist. Of the company itself, but little
can be said in its favor, If we except the
scene in which "Phasarius' sues for par
don and depicts the horrible scenes OF
brutality prscticed on the "barbarians
bv the Romans, which was finely rem
dered.
LAWRENCE BARRETT EXCURSIONS.
The management OF the Lawrence
Barrett entertainments have completed
arrangements whereby persons re-
siding in the country can con-
vcniently witness the performances OF
this great trsgedian, at the Opera House.
After each performance, special trains
will run nightly to Moundsvllle, Ben
wood and Bellsire, and after the per
Torrance on Wednesday night, an add
tional special will run from this city to
Little Washington and intermediate
points. In the language of the Pitts
burgh Leader, ''there is no doubt
that Barrett is the finest "Richelieu"
on the stage, and his imper-
sonation has been described SO often that
1t is useless 70 repeat it here. AS an &C
tor Barrett has been compared with
Booth, and the general opinion Is that
the former does not suffer by the COM
parison. His admirers IN this city out
number those of Booth, and he holds Il
place as an artist from which no actor OF
The present day can dislodge him. The
sale of seats commences at the Opera
House box Office this morning.

Runaway.

Yesterday about 3! o'clock as the out
bound train to Little Washington was
crossing Sixteenth and Chapline Streets
a four horse team attached to wagon
took fright and ran down from Chsphne
10 Market street at fearful rate OF
speed. The teamster, who behaved re-
markably well, managed to turn them
up Market street and eventually sue
cceded in checking them at the corner OF
Fifteenth and Market streets. All
escaped unhurt.

Singular Death.

a little one-yesr-old child, belonging
to family by the name of Wise, resid,
ing in the First ward, died very suddenly,
yesterday morning. 1t appears that the
child was lying in crib, and its mother
was sitting by rocking it, After having
rocked" the child tor some time, she at
tempted to lit it from the cradle and
found it hfeless. The cause of its death
seems to be mystery to ALL but can
doubtless be accounted for by physI-
cian

rape on young child named Salie Den

charge, but there beng some informality
in his arrest, another warrant was sworn

The Chron. and Con. on Democrats
Taking Office.

The Iugustd Chronicle and COnSti-
tutiOnalist has been exercised as
to whether Democrats should take
office under Hayes and the editor of
that most excellent paper whose infu-
ence was always eXerted in our behalf,
has written to various distinguished
Georgians and to Gen. Kcrshaw eX-
Gov. Perry and other prominent
South Carolinians asking their views
on the subject. This is we'll and
shows the enterprise of our neighbor
for we think it would place a Demo
crat in q very bad position if Hayes
should offer him a fat office, and the
question as to whether lie should take
il had not been settled. Since these
leading gentlemen have expressed
themselves so clearly we think any
pronounced Democrat could now de-
eide in q moment as to the course he
should pursue.
Our neighbor although he has done
well, we think he did not quite finish
the job. He should have written to
the Hon. Tim. Hurley, of Charleston,
to know his views on the propriety of
Radicals taking Office from Wade
Hampt on.
