MatamOras Furnace.

The run at the Matamoras furnace
has been a very successful and profit
able one so far, and the company are
well satisfied with their bullion re-
turns, but since the recent develop
ments in the mine the fact is recog
nized that greater reduction facilities
are necessary. With this want in view
it is probable that great improvements
will be added during the coming
month. The company will, after the
completion OF the present run, tear
down the old Buttercup and rebuild
further up the hill. This move is nee
essary in order to procure more dump
room. The new iurnace will be of the
latest and most approved pattern, and
have "A reducing capacity Of fifty tons
per day.

MR. M'vlCKEK HAS THROWN BDMEsHELL
at the leading managers Of the country, who
will doubtless hope forit to rebound and kill the
veteran. The subject of prices to our leading
theatres has been undergoing discussion in the
Eastern cities for some time. Tie prices in
New York and other Eastern cities have always
been much greater than those Of our Western,
and at the same time they have had larger
number Of patrons. It cannot be denied that
McFicker's Theatre is worthy to rank
with the best. The location, capital in
vested, manner OF production,-all 70
to make its expenses as high
in proportion to its patronage as any Of them.
McVicker is compelled to produce aud mount
at least twenty pieces to take him through a
Season, while New York theatre eau get along
with three OF four, and in productions comes
large portion Of expense. II $1,000 is c1pcnd-
ed to produce play, and it runs ten weeks in
New York and ouly two here, it is easy to see
where the weight of expense comes. If Nc
Wicker can stand reduction in prices his
Eastern brothers eau, and the following,
which will appear in his house-bll on
Montlar, gives bis views on 1hc subject,
and, being worthy Of per@lsa! by all interested
IN the lnatter, we give it room in our columns as
it is concise and the point In our advertising
columns the scale Of prices Will DC iouno, anu
When read We have no doubt Ill Will conclude
Mack has done the right thing, but to prove
their sincerity they must uatron!zc him or he
viii! follow our savings banks-exceot In this,
that before he shuts ,lp he will pay up:
From this date the scale OF prices has bee n 20
asyanccd az to meet the views. we trust. OF a:1.
and with the belief aud hope ,tat an Increased
patronage will compensate for the decrease IN
r.cea. No theatre in this co1utEy, OF In Europe,
where the same accommodation is siven the rubi.c
