Kit the Arb ansas Traveller.

For the benefit Of onr readers who
have not witnessed this celebrated
drama now being presented with great
success at the Arch Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, we will render an eipito-
me of its incidents and effects. .'Kit
the Arkansas Traveller" as represent
ed by Mr.. F. S. Chanfau, is obe Of the
rude but stalwart denizens of the West
'ern Wilds Of America, his knowledge
OF music extends no further than play
ing upon common fiddle the we'll
known air entitled the Arkansas
Traveller. He can only accomplish
the first part Of the tune,
stranger finally gives him the second
part of the air, which exhilerates him to
a state of frenzy. Then comes the evil
hour for Kit, the stranger becomes his
deadly foe, by dragging from his breast
his wife and child. A hunt of years
becomes his occupation to encs more
meet this man Of sin. Kit becomes
wealthy log merchant and dnds his
daughter but not the destroyer OF his
happiness, till on the point Of pursuit
this man endeavors TO escape from the
pursuers Of Gustie, he meets him man
to man, when Kit becomes the avenger
OF his wife, and the protector OF his
child.

Hart Wins q Match.

NEWARK, N. j., November 30.--The
seventy-two hour walking match ter
minated last night, in the presence of
about 4, 900 spectators, who preserved
good order throughout. Unusual inter-
est was felt In the match, from the fact
that several of the walkers had a ma
tional reputation. As was anticipated,
Hart, the colored pedestrian Of Boston,
won first prize, having made 1873 miles
and ten laps, the greatest performance
ever known. His reward was a gold
watch, worth $500, and $500 in gold.
Patrick Fitz Gerald Of staten Island,
won the second prize, $500. He scored
$40 miles. Geldert Of Massachusetts,
won third money, 5000, covering 800
miles. Redding, Of Rhode Island, Sc
cured fourth prize, 500, with score
of 1858 miles. Campana and Modem
covered 354 and 290 miles respectively,
but took no prizes.

Mr.. PavneIl's Indictmen 4.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. ga meeting, the
attendance at which is estimated al
fifteen thousand persons, was held op.
posite 81. Georges Hall to-day. Mr..
Parnell fully endorsed the speeches for
which the recent arrests in Ireland
we're made. He strongly denounced
the action Of the government, which he
predicted would utterly fall in its
object. The agitation against land.
lordism, he said, would be continued.
Resolutions moved by Mr.. Parnell were
carried with enthusiasm, to the effect
that the arrests are arbitrary, unc0n-
stitutional, and calculated to weaken
the confidence Of the people Of Ireland
in the impartiality Of the law; and that
government which squanders the
blood and treasure of the people in un-
just wars abroad, while misery and
famine are unrelieved at home, stands
in the eyes of all right
minded and thoughtful men.

A Reading Man Charged with
rher

George Quigg, aged twenty -four, was
arrested at Reading, on Saturday night,
upon warrant issued some time since,
charged with the murder of Darrell
Moore, Of Reading, early in the present
year. Moore was killed and his body
laid ON the railroad track, and a train
passing over it threw the corpse into a
coal shute, where it was found on the
following day. Ayoung woman named
Reedy, coal picker, claims that she
saw two men commit the murder and
that Quigg was one Of them. The Cor.
oner's jury in the case decided that
Moore was killed byIan engine on the
railroad. The woman, however, sub.
sequently made the necessary affidavit,
and hence this arrest. A colored con-
stable, James Malson, made the arrest,
though Quigg fought him desperately.
The accused had been absent from
Reading for some time, and only re.
turned on Saturday morning, but
claims that this was in consequence of
his obtaining employment in paper
mill at Spring City, near Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--It is under
stood that the nomination OF Secretary
McCrary to be Judge Of the United
States Circuit Court, vice Judge
Dillon, resigned, will be sent to the Sen
ate early this week. No doubts are en-
tanned about his confirmation. The
nomination of ex-senator Ramsay, of
Minnesota, to succeed Secretary Nc
Crary, will be sent to the Senate imme.
diately after the nomination of
Mr.. McCrary for the Judgeship
is disposed Of. The preferment Of
ex. Senator Ramsay for Secretary of

him familiar with military affairs and
acquainted with most OF those officers
of the Army who have been kept
constantly employed in active service.
Mr.. Ramsays experience as Governor
of Minnesota during the rebellion will
also be of service to him in the duties

IN GOOD sPIRIrs.

The RepubItcass Come 10 wash.
inGtOn Full Of Hope and Coma.
dence.
The Washington correspondent for
the New York Tribune" writes 10
that paper under date Of November Both
as follows;
Not since 1874 have the Republican
leaders returned TO Washington ut the
opening Of . session Of Congress SO full
Of hope aud courage and 20 confident
Of the approval and support Of the
country ~ they do to-day. Coming
flesh from the great political struggles
In the Northern States and bringing
with them the prestige Of success, they
are ready 10 enter upon the business Of
the session not doubling what the out
come will bs.
That business IL hardly needs TO bs
said Is Presidsnt-making. Nobody ex-
poets that much public business will be
transacted except the tirdy passage Of
the necessary appropriation bills and
the adoption, perhaps, Of one or two
measures which caunot bs considered
in any sense partisan In their charac-
ter.
The confidence and hopefulness Of
the Republicans are not due entirely to
the demora alizstion OF the Democratic
party. They are partly due to the fact
that the party which has triumphed in
the North ia more united than 1t has
been for years; and there Is now every
prospect that the harmony will con-
tinus.
The most interesting question among
the returning Legislators Is the policy
Of the Democratic majority, touching
the issues raised last Winter andfought
over during the extra session. IL is
thought the country may look forward to
a session Of stormy scenes, during W hich
little that Is important in the way OF
legislation will be accomplished. The
may not begin until after
the holidays, but in the end it is
thought to be inevitable.

had worked in q blacksm shop Oh
the Leonard property from ls43 up to
1854; worked for WIN. Connell. The
chart Of the property was shown to wit
nsss and he identified the location of
the shop. Mr.. Connell lived in dwell
ling house on the corner Of Water and
Shipley streets at the time. There was
yard OF twenty feet in the rear of the
shops a: the time. The tide from the
creek used to come into the yard.
Andrew Murine occupied the wheel

in ls43, and the Kirby Brothers occu-
pied tie same place afterward as coal
and wood yard; 3 carpenter shop was
built below the blacksmith shop BY Mr..

On cross examination the only point
brought out was that the tide from the
