Mrs BemenderEr herself, who is one Of the u,oSs

A CELEBRATED CASE.

IA Celebrated Case" will be given in schaefer's
Opera House on Wednesday OF next week, Nov
18th. 1t is pronounced on all hands powerful
play. The plot Is ingenious. Aninnocent man is
convicted Of the murder of his wife, uOOn testi-
mOny which seems absolutely positive against
him, and yet the audience can see how very rat.
urally the mistake was made. This gives the
drama pathetic interest, which is we'll sustained
until the plot is unfoIded, and the real assassin
discovered and brought to justice The play
abOunds in intense and effective scenes and is, in
fact, one of the strongest of its class which the
modern stage affords. The Collier Combustion
Company is composed Of performers of high or
der Of talent, and have drawn large houses in all
the leading cities. The piece is new and is hav.
ing an immense run.

PRESENTATION.

Our old Friend and fellow townsman, Professor
ThOs Kirk, was presented with a gold headed
cane on Wednesday evening, oat Goth, in Alleg.
heny, at a concert given by the Robinson Silver
Cornet Band, of which Prof Kirk is teacher, In
"honor of their high appreciation of his services
to that organization" During the entertainment
the band played some very elegant compositions
arranged by Prof KIRK, of which the Allegheny
Eveain0 Mai speaks as follows:
Especial mention should be made of the Pot
Pourri selection, Smiles and Tears as arranged
by Thomas F. Kirk and played In such mastery
manner by the Robson Band, OF which he is the
efficient director, 1t is his latest production and
reflects credit on It's talented composer A very
good imitation of the jinglng of sleigh bells is
given In the piece, aud the whole Is crowned
with charming portion Of Ny Grandfathers
Clock which delighted the audience to such q
degree that repetition was demanded The air
is catching and the tones true, with pathetic
effect dependent on the susceptibility Of the
hearers how the clock
stopped short when the old man died,
Never TO go again.
In the orchestral playing Of the piece the wind.
ing Of the clock. the ticking and the striking are
all initiated, and the music stops short like the
clock, at the point where the old man died.
only 1t cannot be said Of the music never to go
again Prof Kirk has made novel hit in his
introduction Of Ny Grandiather's Clock, in the
Pot Pourri, as 1t aroused great enthusiasm last
evening; and the man who made the noises of
winding, ticking and striking was an especial OBJ
ject of interest, judging by the number OF persons
tuhn rafphad mi ihair uanko IA hov 10
done. This seemed to prove that music must
possess cOntemporaneous human interest in order
to become popular"

IMPROVED TEXT BOOKS.


An examination Of a new series OF ArIthmatiON.
by VIM, J. Milne, A. NJ, Principal OF the stA,s
Normal School a! Geneseo, NJ Y, shows an I'm
proved series, II Is embraced In two volumes on
uted respectively, First Lessons In AriLhmetia''
and "rhe Practical Arithmetic" They are upon
the inductive pan-that is, the pupil reCetVoH
practical instruction IN the elements of each En0
before the rule itself is understood and thus the
mere theory of numbers is displaced by absolute
practice BY this means deep, intuitive appFe--
hensiOn Of the relations Of numbers s cultivated,
a result which cannot be encompasstd by any 9th
er plan we have seen. Methods OF calculation ara
impressed upon the mind by attractive pictorial
illustrations, and 1t is not too much TO say that
these arithmetiCs possess recommendations Of q
higher order than we gene ally expect to find In
books for common school instruction. But they
are no less welcome and valuable on account OF
their variety.
Another new work which has interested uB 10 no.
small degree is a Grammar School History OF the
United States by J. G. Rdpath, A. NJ, Professor OF
History and Bellies Letters In the Indiana AsbuTy
University In style and arrangement il appears
10 us inmitable, It'll brilliant, accurate and at.
tractive, and its S7U pages present a richer mine
ofinstruCtion than 1t is possible for an ordinary
writer to comprise within double the compass. A
mere notice, such as we are attempting, will fail
to do 1t justice. It. worthy of q searching, ex-
hausve review. The few prominent features wa
can find space to refer to are the progressive maps
chronological charts typographical dla-
grams, complete index, pTOnOuncng vOcaba-
larry and excellent portraits Of distinguished
Americans The portraits are authoritative aud
well executed. Besides these important helps foP
students, the book is repee with illustrative incl
dent and instructive explanation ofnotable events
and 1t has decidedly the best arrangement Of its
subject matter we have ever seen. There is noth1
Ing dry nor abstruse about IT, but 1t is Just the
work to interest the pupil in the history Of hin
country. These books are published by Jones
Brothers q Co., Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
Chicago.

In PANTs.-Three young ladies Of Tuscarawas
street who dressed in boys clothes, Friday
evening, had quite an audience Of boys on the
woodshed roof, who were suddenly nowhere
when the old man appeared. Run-well, guess
so-Mark Twain's cayOte would have been dis.
tanced. But when the damsels came out on the
street the lads had the bulge on them and hunted
them home. Disgusting themselves in male attire
is a frequent practice among young women and
is a very dangerous practice. Presumably there
is fascination about appearing masculine TO
them, and nobody wonders at It,
