house on the night of the 2Sd inst. as Richie
lieu. Mr.. Mccullough is the grand success
sor of Edwin Forrest, being greater, indeed,
than his illustrious prototype. In Richelieu,
the mighty cardinal and diplomat, he has but
one peer on the American stage, Edwin
Booth, who has made this character, with
that of Hamlet, his life's study. In Richelieu
he has scope for the full play of his peculiar
ability as an elocutonist and his rare power
as an orator. That he will draw a full house,
eel ecially as his engagement is for only one
night, there is no doubt.

The early snow of this season, it is said,
will be severe on the partridges. These
birds, hidden in the grass and brush, re-
main in their haunts while the snow falls,
which covers them up. They remain thus
covered for days, ard may perish under
the hardening snow crust. Hunters fam
liar with this habit Of the birds often
catch them alive in these hidden places.
The warm breath OF the partridge causes
the snow to melt and their presence may
be detected by the air-holc seen on the sur.
face of the snow. Many birds will starvc
for want Of food after the snow covers the
earth. Farmers should now protect and
feed the birds about their farms. Take
pity Oh the poor partridges they are hard
workers, when the crops are growing, in
destroying worms aud insects.
