Mr.. George Fawcett Rowe appeared at Music
Hall last evening 10 bis own play, "Brass."
brass" is certainly not a great, scarcely a
good comedy. Its construction is involved, it's
Characterization weak, its wit forced. There
are some bright things in it, some laughable
situations, and one pretty scene, Sybl's bed
room in the fourth act. Indeed the first three
acts are scarcely amusing; they are SO "talky"
that the story is entirely lost sight of and the
wit spread as thin as the first snow of the sea.
son. The foarth act sirapli6ss matters little
and gives a charming picture. The fifth is
fancied IN the extreme and outrages all probs-
bility, but it is SO funny we pardon sits foolish
ness.
Mr.. Rowe's conception Of the leading part
was interesting because the conception of the
author Of theaplay. ovation Stray" is one of
the old stock comedy parts, that of the coolly
impudent man who succeeds by "brass'' rather
than by inertia curious compound of "Daz-
zle'' and half-a-dozen other wel.-known charac-
ters In the hands of the accomplished come-
dian who undertook it it was played with the
audacity and ease that are its characteristics.

A Harhar Thief Caught.

The sloop Newcomb fifty tons, property OF
steamer Henrietta, was hauled up on the west
end of Great Chebesgue Island for the winter.
The people living in the vicinity yesterday
noticed that she had been completely despoiled
of her rigging, and suspected that it had been
done by the crew of sloop which had come in
at night and lay close by. Mr.. J. Mansfield,
who lives on the island, was notified, and he in
turn notified Captain Kicker of the matter Oh
the next landing of the Henrietta.
1t was arranged that Mr.. Mansfield and
young Mr.. Kicker, nephew CT the captain
should take boat and DO ard the sloop which
they did as she lay bscalmed about sunset last
evening The crew consisted of two mep, an
old fellow who says his name is Bishop and
that hs is master and owner, and young man
of about twenty five. No resistance was made
and the men were civil. AS the sloop lay IN
dangerous position near the rocks on which
she would diff if wind sprang up, they under
took to take her off. The young man jumped
into the dory, ostensiby to helP, but really to
run away. The vessel was searched and all
the missing stuff found. The old man was
arrested, but the young one got away. The
vessel belongs in Gloucester.

Trouble.

At the office of the New England News
Company on franklin street, Boston. an order
has been received from J. N. Moses since his
alleged absconding from Manchester, N. FL.
The order WAS from this city, 50 it seems that
he has gone into business here. Moses direct
ed that the goods which he Ordered of the com.
pany should be sent to a csrtsin attorney here,
but, as the company knew nothing about, and
heard nothing from the latter, the goods have
not been sent. While in Manchester Moses
traded with the company more or less, but
they gave him no credit, and he owed them
nothing at the time of his leaving New Hamp-
shire. Moses was originally in Business n this
city. whence he went to Suncook, N. II, and
thence to Manchester, having now, it appears,
come back here. He would seem to have been
ur fortunate in business or something worse,
as the company above referred to says that he
failed when in business in Portland b-fore,
and was burned oat at Sancook previously to
going to Manchester, the place of which he is
alleged to have lately taken "French leave"

MARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING POISONED TO
DEATH.-Monoay, Miss LIZZIE Deehau, residing
. on DAnforth street, took a deadly dose OF
oxaic acid, mistaking it for epson salts. She
was soou taken violently i'll, and the family
became alarmed and sent the remainder Of the
potion to the nearest druggist to bs examined.
He thought it was oxalic acid, and prescribed
an antidote of magnesia and milk. One ply
stefan who looked at it pronounced it alum.
Finally, DR.. Gordon was called and knew at
once that it was oxslic acid. Meanwhile, a
timely administration of the autidote probably
saved the young lads's life. She is now out of
danger unless Inflammation sets in. The acid
had been bought previously for some house
