ST. CLAIRsvuLE, o., Nov. 20.
Our town was visited last night by a
fire, which threatened for a while 10
destroy a large portion OF the place.
About one o'clock Archibald Giffen,
who lived on the corner OF Main and
Marietta streets, and had large grocery
store in the same building, discovered
the house on fire. The flames were al
ready issuing from the cellar and lower
part Of the building, and the house was
full with smoke. The alarm was first
given by some person on the street, who
had probably discovered it before Mr..
Gifen. Mr.. q. jumped from his bed
and hastily aroused his family. II was
with the greatest difficulty that they es-
capped alive, for the smoke came
near sufOcatng them. They
rushed - the street with
the scantiest amount Of clothing on
them. Everything was lost except Mr..
Citizens books containing his store ac-
counts. The building, which was a
large frame, was owned by Mrs. John
Knox, Londonderry, Guernsey county.
None Of the property was insured. The
value Of the building destroyed was
about = 800 or 5000. Mr.. Giffen and
family, which includes his wife and four
children, lose in the neighbOrhood Of
5000, including the personal effects OF
the elder son, c. II. Gifen, his fathers
partner in the grocery, and Miss Mary
Giffen, the daughter, who Is a teacher in
the public schools of this place. On the
east side Of the Giffen building Is the
residence OF Mr.. J. r. Mitchell, one OF
the finest houses in town, and probably
the best furnished dwelling in 81
Clairsville. By almost superhuman
efforts the Mitchell house was saved,

THE OPERA HOUSE.
Mccullough as "Virginius" =
Other Attractions.


The audience at the Opera House, last
night, was not AS large as might have
been anticipated from the number oi
seats sold, though the dress circle and
orchestra chairs were all filled. Upon
ordinary occasions such an audience
would have been considered large, but
il was not as large as the excellence OF
the play and the genius OF the tragedlan
would warrant.
Nirginius has been pronounced the best
acting tragedy of the modern stage, and,
next to the grand creations of Shake
speare, stands unrivalled. 1t is repete
with beautiful language and poetical
bursts. Its breadth and intensity OF
power is almost unequalled, and the
character delineation is. superb. 1t fol-
lows the historical line as closely as
drama can, departing, possibly but once,
in the death OF Appius But, as histo-
rians differ on this point, the license Is
not great.
McCullough's conception OF the char
acter of Nirginius is certainly a lofty
embodiment of the ideas OF the author
and his presentation is the double re-
suit of natural gifts and profound study.
His deep and finely mOdulated voice
suits the part admirably, and his adap,-
tation of "the action To the word
leaves nothing to be wanted. The UNI
bounded pathos and affection OF the
scenes with his daughter were painfully
natural, as the strained attention OF his
auditors testified.
After the sacrifice of his daughter, and
when his "brain burned with the fiery
fever" his part becomes the most diff
cult, and his genius stands out marked.
His touching calls for his daughter and
the expression OF the exquisite
thought
az hear a voice so fine there's nothing lives
'Twixt II and silence
are but instances of his fine acting
throughout.
His support is rather better than at
his last appearance here. Mr.. Warde.s
"Icilius" was an exceedingly fair
portrayal of the young and ardent
Roman in love and war. Miss Fore
svthe's "Virginia" and Miss Fosters
"Servia" were both attractive represent
atoms, and the rest OF the cast followed
close behind.
Tonight Mr.. Mccullough will appear
in Shakspeare's great tragedy king
Lear" and will no doubt play to large
house.
THE owner of the ferry boat at Mar
tins Ferry has kindly consented to make
a special trip, to accommodate the peo-
pie of that town, on next Friday and
Saturday nights, connecting with Wheel
ing street cars, which latter will leave
the Opera House at the close OF the
John Mccullough performances.
MADAME RENTz.
Next week, Madame Rentz's Min
strels and Vienna Lady Orchestra will
hold the boards at the Opera House.
The St. Louis Republican says:
"That was fine performance given
by the Rentz Company evening. From
the vocal efforts in the opening scene,
through the witticisms Of the comedians,
the delicious strains OF melody from the
saxophone and cornet, the superb har-
mony of the Lady's Brass Band, the
numerous novel specialities and the
laughable burlesque on Pinaiore, all was
highly enjoyable. 1t was indeed an
evening of pleasure, and will always be
remembered as the Rentz Company
best programme even among the many
good ones that have preceded II"

escaped being killed by the same stone.
Thursday noon, while a west-bound
freight train was passing through Scott s
bridge. AGAR on which was loaded con-
signment OF wagons for New Zealand,
struck heavy upright timber which
formed partial support to the bridge,
breaking it in twain, and displacing the
contents Of the car TO such an extent as
TO necessitate reloading.

Quincy boys removed the steps from
the front door OF Mr.. Doyle's residence,
and Mrs. Barker, an aged lady residing
temporarily with her daughter, walked

manner as to deprive her Of the use OF
the limb forever.

Stories OF Dog Stealers.

Sir Edwin Lapdseer used to tell a
story of dog stealer of his acquaintance
who once restored to friend of Sir Ed
win valuable spaniel two weeks after
the time agreed upon when the matter
was negotiated, Sir Edwin upbraiding
the man for his delay, the latter finally
said "Well, the truth is, Sir Edwin
you see, l had to steal him back from
an old lady to whom I sold him for
twenty guineas. She never higgled
about the price, and she was so fond of
the dog 1 didn't think it would be Chris
tian not to let her have few days
pleasure of him." This beautiful tale
is quite paralleled by one which London
Truth now tells us of one Mr.. Page. q
gentleman whose recent condemnation
to imprisonment for dog stealing in
London elected much sympathy in dog
stealing circles: "When he was being
led from the dock, friend of his touch
ed Mr.. Montague Williams, who had
defended him, on the shoulder" "We
have prepared for you little surprise, I"
he said "you lost a valuable dog q
little while ago; we have brought him
back, and he is in house close by"
Mr.. Williams could not go to the house,
but gave the address to which he wished
the dog to be taken, and on going home
IN the evening he found it there.

Every mother has peculiar dread Of

The Burlington HdWkeye humorist,
r. J. Burdette, who is out on lectur-

the following style: The baggageman

Haven and Hartford baggage room at

"Then. walled, "give it tc me, I
can carry it, and I must have it on this
train" For it was only heavy hand
baggage.
But the baggageman would not. He
only said incredulously:
No; if you can get OH that train,
your baggage will be on before you
are"
"Sure ?" I asked anxiously; for 1 had
my misgivings,
YES" he insisted, 81 can get the
baggage on before you get on"
"All right" I shouted, "don't fail

got up and went out on the platform
and looked for the baggageman. Over
all the wide expanse of platform he was
not visible. thought he was either
terribly slow or had been marvelously
rapid. The train pulled out.
That baggagemah, after 1 had left
him, sat down and played couple OF
games of chequers on a trunk. Then
he went to sleep. Then, I believe,
he awoke, rubbed his eyes, looked al
my valises, kicked them to see if there
was anything in them that would break,
and said, dreamily and Richard Grant

"There's that feller's baggage that
wanted 'em to go to Providence on The

Measureless liar by his wicked de-
celt he sent me to North Attleboro' with
just about as much of wardrobe as q

till the Monday morning following.
Why did he lie to me9 Why didn't he
give me my baggage when he knew in
his vicious, depraved, prevaricating
heart that he wasn't going to try to gel
my baggage on that train ? We do these
things better in the West. Why, on
the old Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, from the time the first spike
was driven, there never was a piece Of
baggage lost or left, there was never
passenger misled or deceived, there

A Feminine Mystery.

Assuming that no man ever saw wo-
man slap her ears or wear earmuffs. il
behooves the sterner sex to respectfully
inquire why this is so. Women's ears.
taken as they come, look very much as
mems ears. To an impartial and fair
minded observer, they are more deli
cately constructed, and, naturally, not
as well fortified against cold as the aver
age masculine auricular appendaee.
The feminine ear is not protected bv
whlskers or hair, and fashion declares
That the hat or bonnet shall in no wav
contribute to its warmth or general
comfort. 1t goes into battle against the
common enemy without armor. and with
no more preparation for conflict than
were this the month of June instead of
December. That it should escape under
such circumstances, or that, unwrapped
and thus exposed, it should not rednire
slapping, as either a preventive or pro
tective measure, is mystery which the
average masculine mind is not equal to.
