lcr, who also expects legacy, and
expresses great grief at his masters
loss. The second and third acts show
| that Murdock has married Belle, that
they do nothing but quarrel, that
Murdock has been led to drink and has
lost all hts property to the outcast who
now becomes mas'er of tho house,
He addresses Annie, but is repulscd
with scorn. Old Pcrchant marrics
jennie Joy and is terribly hcnpeckcd,
while poor Payson, robbed Of his
sweetheart, also gets out at elbow by
his mismanagcment. MuWlock and
his wife separate, and the lattor, for
bread, comes to the fraudulent owner
and asks n place as housckeopcr, al
though when in her pride she had
spurned. Gordon gloats oyer her mis-
fortune, and horo Murdock comes in
and has desperate fights with Gordon,
and in the melee accidentally kills his
own wife. Hero the curtain falls on q
startling tableau. The fourth act
opens with Murdoch and Payson in
drunken sleep on the floor, and old
Asa trying to awake them. A gun
is heard, and both spring to their feet.
The outcast comes in, gun in hand.
He has been hunting. When Murdoch
gets ovpr his bewildermcnt, he dis
covers that tho past two acts arc but a
hidcous dream, and that the shot that
killed his wife was only the report of
the fowling piece. He was still SIM
gle. Frightened by the vividness OF
the vision, he forswears liquor, and
decides 10 forfeit the estate and marry
sweet Annie Garfield. In the mean
time Mrs. Garfield tolls tho outcast
that his father forgavc and blessed him
Oh his dying bed, and this sotcns the
young man to tho point of true repent
ancc. Murdock and Belle Gordon
mutually refuse, to marry, and the for
MGR takes ,Annio and the latter marrics
her old love, the outcast. Payson and
jennie Joy also agrco to follow the
fashion. Just here old Pcrchant comes
i'll pulling and produces the real will,
ono subsequent to the paper found by
the blundcrer. BY it all property
except the legacies is left jointly to the
prodigal and Murdoch, without condi-
ton. At this surprise all ore happy,
and the curtain falls OH party who
believe that true love is better than
gold,
Tho, actors were well suited to their
respective roles. Belle Gordon por-
traycd the imperious worldly girl, and
subsequently the crushed and desperate
woman with great fidelity. jennie
Joy, as the bride Of old Perchant, was
capital, and the love scenes between
the two were irrcsistibly funny. The
sweet, tender disposition Of Annie
who loved Gilbert through
all vicissitudcs, and pleaded with him
for reformation, could not have been
better portrayed. Mrs, Garfield was
done to the life. Tho different phases
of tho male character wero capitally
done by the respective actors, and Asa
brought down the house.
This play was followed by beauti
l(,i tableau, "The Harp that once thro'
Tara's Halls"
The entertainment closed with the
sweet duct, "Good Night" which was
so charmingly rendered as to evoke al
encore. After these the
young. people chased the passing hours
with tiying feet.

led to observe that Cetywayo NAV still give plenty
of scope for Zulu enterprise that the leading
Zulus hold aloof from Sir Garnet that even John
Dunn has failed in his efforts to communicate with
the King and that it is calculated that some four
and twenty thousand fighting men are still afoot
while the arms given up do not include many
servceable rifles"
This is what comes of mixing politics and war;
Sir Garnet went out with one hand tied; the
other he has since tied himself in his over-zeai
to comply with the exgencies of those who
sent him. He was to smooth the path to an
Autumn dissolution; and it looks at the mo-
ment If the dissolution must, after ALL be
postponed. Lord Beacons6eld spoke at the Mansion
House on Wednesday. He was audacious about the
rckety Berlin Treaty. triumphant over tho
Afghan peace ignomnious as IL Is, but
quite broke down when he came TO the
Zulu war. The most he could venture on. In
the face of recent news, was the expression of the
hope that in very short time the Lord Mayor
might hear Of q satisfactory settlement of every
question connected with the British dominions in
South Africa. The Lord Mayor is hardly the chan
mel through which trustworthy intelligence from
the Antipodes is usually to be expected If he has
at present any cheering news from that quarter ne
has certainly kept il TO himself. G.W.s.

intelligence and virtue in the jury that tried

and estimate of the character OF the

that he is murderer, a gambler, bulltaa thief,
man of violence, of blood, of liesSaman who will
pack juries, low unprincipled deniagogue in poll
tics and an inidel in religion. He unites in him.
self every quality required to make him the detest-
able monster that he is and he wants every dualit-
cation necessary to make him the gentleman
that he is not. For these we de-
test the man II. NJ. Dixon; and we say further that
he is not fit in any TO hold any Office of honor,

more declare and say that he shall not hold any
such office In our county, if IT Is in our power to
prevent it..

ton, do hereby further declare that we ratify
