UNCLE TOMS CABIN. rendering of
the new version of this play. on Friday
evening last, was excellent. considering
that the stage was too small tor so large Il
troupe to use credtably to themselves,
The characters were admirably personificd,
their orer Of importance being "Unce
Tom" Eva" "Topsy." Phineas
Fletcher" AID so on. The lesson taught
by this play is grand one. 1t sets forth
far more forcibly than words could convey
the evils of slavery, and cannot fail to i'm
press uII with sense of horror over the
terrible crimes which used to be pfacticeC
aranSt the African slaves in America
No true American citizen can witness
the presentation of "Uncle Toms Cabin
bv the Cousa Combination Company
without feeling 4 thrill of pride and thank
fulness that an institution so atrociOu
and wicked as that of slavery, has beer
forever wiped from our land.

ONE day recently horse and cart, be-
longing to Mr.. B. S. Miller. were pushed
off the hill where grading is being done.
Fortunately neither horse nor cart were
seriously injured, though both rolled
some distance down the steep hillside.
This calls to mind the advice which we
rendered several months ago when Mrs.
ID. w. Smith and Mrs. A. Edmordscn
came so near being killed, viz: That
each grade OH the hill ought to be provided
with a strong fence along the outer edge OF
the road. The cost would be merely
nominal compared with the risk daily Oe-
ing run of losing life and property by
getting teams accidentally precipitated
over the brink.

cursion 70 our Island. intended TO take
place the first sunday OF June was post
poncd to the Fourth of July. thanks TO
Father Cesarv. As we all hope to make
better preparations bv that time To re-
ceive our friends. we feel satisfied that we
will receive many of them at the beautiful
grove. Our young girls must surely have
made ND their minds not 10 go unmarried
another year. as they are already "setting
their caps" for the young men who will
come, and the Old bachelOrs-so long in
hopes to do beiter--are all ready to obtain
the license from the County Seat If any
beautiful specimen of the fair sex would
like better the positim9s OF a country
madam than that OF T0Sse& girl III the
city. We think it better, ms we expect
spuds will be in good demand and prices
t,ir next year. AS the San Juan Pork
Packing Company's railroad Is too short,
the passenger car too narrow. and the
whistle busted, we will meet and welcome
all our friends at the steamboat landing
with orr fast teams; and, If need be, a
few yoke of oxen.
Respectfully Yours, JACOB,
Isaac's son.

The Elections.

Thirty states held elections ycster-
day fer members Of Congress. The
Democrats are already sure Of a decided
majority in the Senate and their majeri-
ty in the new house is onlya question
Of numbers.
In the eight States which have alrea-
dy voted the Republicans lost thirteen
members aud gained one on then pres
ent representation. In the States that
voted yesterday they may have gained
some but these were probably ever
GENE by Democratic gains in other
States.
Both parties are watching the results
closely and the choice Of The next
president may be thrown into the House,
where each State would emily cast one
vote. At present the Democrats Lave
a majority five ofall the States as
follows:
Observation-Disclosures, Arkansas.
Connecticut. Delaware. G eorgia. Indiana
Kentucky. Louisiana. Maryland, Ms

Kansas. Maine, Massachusetts. Michl'
can. Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York. Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island. South Carolina,
Vermont and Wisconsln-l7.
Observation-Disclosures and Florda-2.
OF these States, the Democrats have
a reasonable certainty of gaining south
Carolina from the Republican column.
and Florida from the divided, wnch
would carry them to twenty-one votes,
and leave the Republicans but siHi' On.
