THEATRE.

John F. Breyer's Dramatic Company
opened here on Monday night with the
play of "Fanchon" which was rendered in
manner that surprised and delighted ev-
cry one present. On Tuesday they presen-
ted the Sensational play Of "East Lynne"
in very superior manner, they will re-
main with Us few nights longer, and pre-
sent new and attractive pieces.
It is seventeen years since Mr.. Breyer,
was last in Somerset, at which time we had
the pleasure of seeing them play "Pizarro." +"
The following notice of the company was
printed in the "Union" of the year 1860.
We have attended Theatres in both Eas-
tern and Western Cities, and from person
al observation, we say there is mo- humbug
about this Company. Our readers should
not let this opportunity pass unimproved.
Years may pass before another first class
Theatre visits Somerset.- Union.
We endorse the above and say don't fail
to see this old and favorite Troup.

Weather Prophet, Professor Tice, Of st.
Louis, has issued his annual national
Weather Almanac for 1878, in which he
foretells the weather for every day in the

his predictions are based, gives directions
by which the upscientiic can foretel the
weather, and other valuable matter. The
whole constitutes work of great practical

History of Perry County.

Circumstances beyond my control have delayed
the preparation and publication of the History Of
Perry County, Ohio, which have for some time
Lac in contemplation.
The book will be large volume, of about six
hundred pages. well bound and printed, and pub
lished by regular book establishment, on good
ner. It will contain history Of the eounty-by
tow lsips as far prscticable-from the period of
the earliest white settlements, down to July 4th,
ls7I, the close of the Centennial year. The work
Will give the names of the early pioneers, OF each
township, as far possible, introducing incidents
connee'ed with the early settlements, and the
grown and progress of all parts of the county.
Also, as far as may be obtainable, separate and
distinct account OF each town. old and new, in
Thronyille, Rehoboth, Bristol, New Lexington,

the county, of the newspaper press Of the several
county seat struggles of Perry county in connec-
ton with the war of 1872, the Mexican war, and
the war OF 1861 Also, far as Information can be
procured, a separate and distinct account of each
Church society in the county.
As extra-historical, the book will contain chap
ter upon the mineral and other wealth, and upon
the future prospects of the county.
Enough has been said to give an idea of the gen.
eral scope and character OF the proposed volume.-
Of course, local work can not be furnished at 80
small cost as one of general nature. But the
price of the History Of Perry County will be fixed
at $500, which is not much in excess Of general
historical works, of corresponding size and finish.
N. B. Agents are wanted to canvass each town,
ship in the county. A resident agent Of the town.
ship wod be preferred but this is not essential,
the person applying is competent one. Person
unknown to me must come well recommended as to
integrity, and ability to do this kind of work. Ap
pi1cadon for an agency may be made In person OF
by letter, when Information as to terms will be
given.
The volume will be published as soon as
thorough canvass of the county can be made
Meanwhile, persons residing at distance may or
