COMING.
The Hunt TheaticaI Combination

AC AHebOICGbl
The Julia A. Hunt Dramatic Combina-
ton will visit Washington shortly, and
give our citizens few evenings of frs t
class entertainment. The company num-
bers twelve persons, and is strong one.
They are highly spoken of by the press
in this part of the State, and we can as
sure our theater-going people, are worthy
their patronage. The Hunt Combination
will open at Music Hall on Monday even
ing, Feb. 24th, with 'Fanchon''; Tues
day evening 25th, the great New York
comedy, ''Lemons''; Wednesday evening
26th, EFThe Pearl of Savoy" While Civ
ing first-class performances, the company
have, sensibly, put their prices down to
popular figures: Reserved seats, 55; gen
eral admission 25c. They will undoubt-
edly have successful season here.
The Hunt Combination played in Hills
boro last week, to crowded houses, and
the Neaos of to-day says of them:
On Tuesday night ,"Jane Eyre'' was
performed to- crowded house. Mrs.
Hunt in the leading role, captivated the
entire audience, and was greeted with
| round after round of applause. Messrs.
| Walton, Benn and MeGinnis also proved
/ themselves fayorites, and are good actors,
as indeed are the entire company.
On Wednesday night the laughable new
comedy of Lemons was presented when
| the hall was again crowded. The COM
pany 1efts Thursday morning for Lynch
/ burg. where they played two nights, the
| hail on both occasions being packed full
| They returned here Saturday, and in the
evening presented 'East Lynne'' to one
of thesfnest audiences we have ever seen
assembled in Hillsboro. It was composed
of the very best people of the city, and
every seat was occupied. 'East Lynn
| is Mrs. Hunts master piece, and her rem
dition of the leading character was first
class in every particular. During some
of the more affecting scenes there wa:
scarcely a dry eye in the house, and la
dies and gentlemen alike wept like chill
dren. Everybody was pleased, and the
company is universally pronounced the
best that ever visited Hillsboro.
just before the close of the entertain
ment it was announced that the company
would return to this place on the 10th o
March, for four nights, and play FEFan
''Unc1e Toms Cabin'' and ''Pearl of Sa
voy." The announcements almost brough
down the house, and there is scarcely
doubt but they will be greeted by large
audiences.
The HillsborO Gazette, 9Th, says of tn
Company:
The Julia A. Hunt Combination is, il
fact, one of rare excellence. Ever
member of it is a Fsstar'' in their particu
lar cast, and, in the common acceptatio
, of that term, and individually or collect
lively, we can assure them hearty wei
come to Hillsboro at any time.

Our family are in their usual health.
There is large wheat crop sown this
year in our county, which looks we'll.
Snow fell here Dec. 18th, and we had

Sheriff Smith has eight sales of real
estate advertised for next Saturday, and
one sale of personal property for Monday

Common Pleas Court convened Of
Tuesday. The Grand Jury was sworn
and went up to their room to begi n their
investigation. VIM. Burnett is foreman.
They were still in session yesterday af-
ternoon. The petit jury was dismissed
yesterday until Friday morning. The
term is expected to last until the first of
April.
The Jackson Herald says: s'Hon.
James Emmitt says he had made arrange
ments in n. Y, to get $611 900 to pay off
the Indebtedness of the S., J. & P. road,
but the tpowers that be- would not come
to terms. How is that? Is there crooked
ness somewhere? If Mr.. Emmitt tells the
truth, and we presume nobody doubts his
word, there must be something wrong -
court opens MONDAY HfOIeSSlOnal
Jurors and Court-hangers-o should take
notice. This announcement is made for
their benefit, and We sincerely hope not
one of them will get a sitting-XeniO
TorchItght.
The above class of professional gentle
men had timely notification of the neeessi-
ty of jurymen, both petit and grand, and
on Tuesday morning last at the opening
of court were promptly on hand, ready to
obey any official demand that might be
made upon them, for their valuable SER
vices.
Deputy Revenue Collector B. Il.
Millikan, visited Sabina and Wilmington
recently to look after uncanceIled tobac-
co and whisky stamps. At some places
he found stacks of empty cigar boxes and
buckets with the stamps as perfect as
when placed upon them. These stamps
had to be destroyed, and a bonfire OF
cigar boxes in front of each house thus
found, was the result. The Government
does not allow tobacco or whisky stamps
to be cancelled before the vessels are
empty, nor to remain uncancelled when
| empty.

Suit Against Stockholders of the
ID. 81 s. e. Railway.

A special from ChilIicothe to the Gin
cinnati Gazette, Feb. 8th, gives the fol-
lowing announcement of interest to stock
holders of the D. 6 S. E. Narrow-gauge:
''There is decided sensation Just at
present among the Chillicothe stockhold-
ers of the Dayton 6 Southeastern Narrow
Gauge Railroad. Judge w. 81. Stafford,
as the attorney of certain creditors of the
road, has brought suit against many of
the stockholders in this city, to compel tb g
payment of debts due by the road. The
stockholders claim that this can not be
done until all other means to secure pay
ment have been exhausted, and that,
as the road has large amount of other
assets, these claims must be paid out of
the latter. The amount at stake is about
SO, 200. The stockholders have retained
Albert Douglas, jr., Prosecuting Attorney
of the court, and Hon. John G. Entrekin
as counsel, who will call to their assist
ance Hon. R. A. Harrison, of Columbus.
The fight will be waged to the last ex-
tremity.''
