Funeral Sermon.

Last Sunday evening at Grace
Church, by Rev. VIM. Jas. Miller,
was preached funeral sermon on the
death of George Byron McGibney,
whose death at Olean N. Y, was duly
recorded in these columns. The text
was from Psalm CXVI 9th verse: 81
will walk before the Lord in The land
of the living the discourse was
highly interesting and was listened to
by an audience which filled more than
the seating room of the church. Com
pany III, of which diseased was a mem
ber, turned out in full uniform, and
their attendance on the services was a
graceful tribute from the living to
their dead comrade, than whom no
member of the company was more re-
spected.

For curing Rot Foot on horses,
nothing is better than Thompson's
Great Healing Ointment. In one
case a horse was so badly diseased
with the Rot that he was about to be
turned out to die, when the owner was
advised to use the Healing Ointment.
Following the advice, his horse was
completely cured. 1t is also curative
for Scratches and Sore Legs on horses.
Horse Doctors also use it to restore the
hair on horses, where it has been
rubbed off by the harness.
E. X. Thompson's Great Healing
Ointment is put up in 25 cent bottles; /;
for animals, in cans at 90 cents and
one dollar each.

THEATRICAL MANAGEMENT.
New YORK, Dec. 2. 1878.

New York, Dec ?, 1873
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In some foreign countries, when the theatre man
ayers obliged to postpone or change perform
ancc either by sickness OF any of the artists or from
any other cause, they let the public know of 1t in
time by means of placards posted on every playbll
that stands at the principal thoroughfams. Are not
the American people and the floating foreign popula
ton that live among deserving Of the atten-
ton? II is very annoying, especially to those who
live long way from the place of amusement they wish
to 90 to- find on their arrival at the door slip "
paper with the brief autograph mo concert Tor pay)
tonight" Besides we believe the public is entitled
to know what Is going to be played and not to be dis
appointed, as for instance Last Saturday the play
bill at the Fifth Avenue Theatre offered to the audi
once the iye-nrt drama Of Thc Merchant Of Venice
so when the curtain drawn, after the fourth act.
very few persons quitte their seats till voice from
the upper regions called out, That Is all Now,
Mr. Editor don't you think II would have been proper
to state on the programme that the whole of the
h,th act would be suppressedy We know that we are
not to expect to the Shakespearcan productions
played on the stage whole and just az they were
wrten-a great many words are to be changed and
some scenes either curtailed suppressed alto
gether--but when the matter is whole at 1t would
be advisable to state IL beforehand.
At the foot of some foreign paybills can be seen
will end with the duet Ia Malcdiccioncl'" miss
so and so, instead of singing the original musical
lesson clarbiero di siNigliah will Introduce III
laccio. I"
AT other times, when the piece is well known, they
only state with the usual suppressions."
BY the way for the benefit of those who take
seventy cents reserved seats for the second bal
cony OF the Fifth Avenue Theatre should ask its
manager II not to the gas jets that are placed
outside the railing of that balcony ut least to have it's
lights very low while the performance is going on; the
glare and heat received by those who occupy the sides
of the first besides preventing them from seeing
parts of the stage injurious and annoying to the
sight.
Hoping you will be kind enough TO publish the
essence of these hints in your valuable newspaper.
that they may be read by, and produce the uesueu
effect on managers, both for their own bcneht
and for that of the patrons Of their theatres we Deg
OF you to accept in advance the best thanks from
SOME THEATRE GOEIS.
