Many OF our readers, and especially
those living In the vicinity of Moores-
VILE, will remember the casa of Alice
Kelly agai nst tho II. 4 st. 10 r. r. Co.,
wherein Mrs. Kelley sued the company
on account Of the killing Of her husband
by train of cars at MoOresville 10 1871.
On the first trial in our Circuit Court,
Mrs. Kelley got verdict for $1,000. A
new trial was granted and ut the next
trial the court took the case from the ju-
ry and decided in favor OF the company,
from which Mrs. Kelley appealed to the
Supreme Court, where the case remain
cd until last Monday, when the case was
reversed and sent back for trial.
At last Chlllicothe is to be honored bv
a visit from a genuine tragedy queen,
the greatest in America Tanauschek.
Wi h superb troupe of sixteen splcn-
did actors and actresses, Janau,chck viii

, the City Hall on Monday night, Fcbru
AIRY 9th. The play selected is Macbeth.
This is a rare chance for our citizens to
witness genuine tragedy, and We would
advise our readers, by all means, not to
miss it. In the langua &C of the Burlng-
ton llawkeye in regard to this great ac-
tress-" Through the gran deur OF her act

genuine womaulines,. In no character
does she show this more than in Lady

ment, and the subtlety OF her persuasive.
ness at another, are 1eyond description.
