CentreyiIIe Entertainment.

The drama, ''Ten Nights in Bar Room" +"
was very successfully rendered by the s'Home
Dramatic Club" on Friday evening, in the
NJ. E. Church at this place. Owing to the
inclement weather the audience was small,
but appreciative, bespeaking confidence in
the ability of the young of this community
to afford q first Class entertainment. Ilic
club is composed entirely of home performers,
most of whom were totally without expert
ence on the stage, yet they played with u
GOODNESS and precision that reminded tine lis
tener of the professional actor. Special men,
ton is due to little Minnie Shields, a little
girl of eight years, who personated Mary
Morgan. Pleading as dying request for the
reformation of an erring father, the scene
was most touching and no doubt it will have
a good effect upon all who heard it. The
Club may well feel proud of their success,
and with but little more practice they will be
amply able to entertain the most Factions.
At its close the request was made for its rep
etition, which will be complied with at an
early day. Proceeds amounting to $40 were
donated to the Sabbath School, NJ.

what has become of the ''night police" asked

A Very Valuable History.

The Practical History of the World. en-
bracing full and authentic accounts of every
nation of ancient and modern times, and in
cluding History of theirs and fall of the
Greek and Roman Empires, the growth of
the nations of Modern Europe, the Middle
Ages, the Crusades, the Feudal System. the
Reformation, the discovery and settlement of
the New world, etc, etc. : by james D. Nc
Cabe. Published by the National Publishing
Co., of Philadelphia, Pa, Chicago, Ill, st.
Louis, Mo-, and Dayton, Ohio.
1t is a well-known fact that the great mass
of the people are compelled to rely, for their
knowledge OF history, upon the outline works
intended for the use of schools, which by
their very nature are brief and only designed
for the comprehension of children. There
has long been felt genuine want of a more
elaborate History of the World, covering the
whole period from the creation to the present
day, and presenting in a succinct and enter
tanning form the history of the various nations
of the world. This demand we are happy to
say is being met in 1.-The Pictorial History of
the World, work which is destined to take
rank as Standard History. 1t is from the
pen Of James d. McCabe, q we'll known his
torical writer, who has devoted years of study
and research 10 the production of this great
work. The book is literally what it processes
to be-a complete History Of the World-for
it gives clear and concise account of every
nation that has ever fourished upon the
globe. The history of each country is related
separately, and in the ciearest and most com
prehensive manner, and the deeds of all the
great actors in the events of ancient and mod.
ern history are brought before the reader in
the most vivid style. There is not adry page
in the book 1t is as fascinating as a romance,
and at the same time one of the most valua
bic works Of reference ever published.
The mechanical execution of the book fully
snstains the high reputation of the publishers
1t contains 1860 large double-column pages
and over $50 fine engravings, embracing bat
ties and other historical scenes; portraits o.
the great men of ancient and modern times
4 and views Of the principal cities of the world

fight and tackled an American of African de-
scent, but the colored mans ayoirdupois was
too much for James, so he retreated hastily,
but in fair order for the classic hills of West
Virginia. Such skirmishes did not excite US
a particle, in fact we rather banker after
them.

Partial Suspension of Work Oh
the c., Il. v. & w. Railroad.

Much of the light work on the Tuscarawas
Valley Railroad. has been suspended for the
present, and many Of the men discharged.
Small forces will continue on the heavy cuts,
and full complement of men will be kept at
the several tunnels, which will be pushed for
ward to completion as rapidly as possible. 1t
is urged as a reason for pursuing this course
that the entire road bed exclusive of the tun-
nels can be completed within sixty days. and
that it will require not less than seven OF
eight months to finish the tunnels; that
there will be nothing gained by completing
the remainder of the line so long in advance
of the time when it can be made of practical
utility, but On the contrary loss will accrue
on interest of oney expended, besides the
rains of summer would undo much Of the
work already done. The Tuscarawas man
ayers are men of sagacity, and we doubt moi
that their course in this regard is dictated by
sound Judgment. .---.
