DelaWare's Actor.

We are informed that Mr.. J. B. Rob.
erts formerly of this city is playing
the "Black Crook" (the principal
character in the play of that name) at
the Walnut street theatre in Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Roberts is one Of the actors
in the country. In Hamlet people who
are Judges say "the very best" They
alledge he excels Booth. He is the son
of Mr.. Roberts who was formerly pro-
thonotary ofthis county, ,andwho former
ly lived many years in this city. The
older Roberts (his tather) was probably
the most polite and accomplished gen
tleman in the State. The motto orig
mated with him of "dress and address"
which was erronously credited by seve-
raj papers to a citizen of the west.

Between seven and eight o'clock last
evening two unknown men broke in
through the back entrance of the resi-
dence of John W. Todd, 3O3 West Elev-
enth street. Mr.. and Mrs. Todd were
out spending the day. The thieves
had the privilege of the whole house.
In rambling through the premises they
opened door communicating with the
residence of Mr.. Mendenhall, and on
seeing the family seated in the room
they at once rushed out at the front
door. They carried off from Mr.. Todd's
house lady's gold watch chain, pair
of cameo ear ornaments, a lot of silver
napkin rings and Mr.. Todd's fine dress
coat The police were at once informed
of the robbery.

BarnuIn COMING.

Barnum will be In Wilmington with
his Greatest Show on earth on Wednes-
day, Oct. 18th. The New York /" Times"
says Of his performance in the metropo-
lis:
Barnum opened his great and only
show at the American Institute build
ing on Saturday, and at both afternoon
and evening performances the crowd
was very great. In the evening stand
ing-room even was at premium, SO
great was the desire to witness the open
ing performance, and vast mass Of hu-
manity surged into the building and
filed every available inch of space.
Barnum has had SO many good shows
that it would be difficult to say which
has be1n the best, but he certainly has
never had any better than the present.
The performances in the ring were, on
Saturday night, Of the most exciting
character. No less than eight lady ri
ders appeared, consisting of Nine. Dock
rill, Miss Katie Stokes, Mile. Linda Jeal,
Miss Emma Lake, Signore Marcellus,
Miss Smithson, ,Signora Quaglianna and
Miss Ashby. Signor Sebastian is the
principal bareback sensational rider,
and there is the usual number Of ath-
letes and acrobats. The greatest excite
msnt prevailed on Saturday night dur
ing some of the female equestrian acts.
the horse in the menage scene requir-
ing the severest discipline on the part
of Miss Emma Lake to keep him in or
der. Aside from the glories and excite
msnt Of the ring, the menagerie is en-
larged, having fifty cages, and there is
a museum Of $4,000 curiosities. There
is one thing about Barnum,- he keeps
his word, and this year he has more
than fulfilled his promises. Easter week
will be made gladder by his coming,
and the small boy and the boy oflargsr
growth will give him the royal welcome
he always receives. He deserves it, and,
as there are performances every after
noon and evening, there will be oppor-
tunitiss enough to extend it,"
This is high praise. Barnum gives
the same performance here he gave in
New York, and will undoubtedly at
tract an immense audience both after
noon and evening. Thoss who wish to
avoid the rush at the ticketwagon
should purchase their tickets, and re-
served seats at Hawkins, segar store,
Seventh and Market street, at the usu-
al slight advance.

She Wouldn't Settle 1t.

A young man stepped up to the rail-
ing at Police Court, this morning, and
pleaded guilty to charge of assault
and battery. His Honor imposed fine
of five dollars and costs. The Mayor
then informed the prosecutrix, Mary
Conahan, that the case was settled and
she could go. To which that lady re-
piled, "yes but won't have it settled.
brought this case and l am going to
carry it through, you can't settle it."
His Homer endeavored to explain to the
irate damsel that the prisoners plea of
guilty ended the case but finding her
obdurate, turned to the Chief with the
remarks, "bring on the other cases."
Seeing the Mayor would listen to her no
further, Mary left the room, saying III
take the case before my own and I'll
get justice, and after she had passed
from sight the words were waited back
by the morning air, "I'll not settle it,"
