Charles Lieve. of Pearl street, finding
earthly gifts a burden, attempted to
shake us on Wednesday night last, by
depositing in his carcass dose of lauda-
mum. Unfortunately, perhaps, for the
world, the same was not of proportion to
to operate successfully. In consequence
Charles was only too glad to have his
failure drawn off with stomach-pump.
Robert Manifold, chronic reprobate
known about these. parts, was released
from jail on Thursday night and shortly
afterwards found himself in q saloon
wanting drink, but without money.
Such was his greed that he took his coat
from his back and sold it for paltry
sum and spent that at the counter of the
saloon. He was found shortly afterward,
shivering in the street, and was again re-
turned to the old quarters.
.. The uncertainty of this life is truly
foretold in the sudden departure from
our midst within the past few DAYS Of
two o. Richmond's most esteemed and
popular citizens. The finding of the
lifeless body of Jessie TalbeTt IN his bed
at his home on Fifth street. near Syca-
more, on Thursday morning, has already
been chronicled 10 our people. Mr.. Tai
bert had apparently retired the night
previous in good health. His daughter,
On entering her fathers room the next
morning to arouse him for breakfast,
found him cold in death. The Coroner's
verdict was death by heart disease.
While "doing" the southeast of our
fair city one day this week we strolled
into the tannery of Wiggins & Son, on
Green street, and being fortunate enough
to fall in with prince of good fellows,
named Neil, our hankering for tour
over the watts was gratifed. We found
the works to be series of departments,
and in each a squad of industrious
workmen all busily engaged in the ma
nipulation of hides. We witnessed it
on its rounds from the rough to where it
reaches and receives its decorating
touches. As we turned to leave the i'm
preston prevailed that our time had
been well spent and amply repaid in
our visit to the notable, as we'll as credit
able, works of Wiggins & Son.
EATON. o.
Yankee Robinson's Minstrel Troupe
are announced to appear at the Opera
house next Thursday evening, 10Th inst,
positively for one night only.
Tonight closes the Loan Art Exhibi-
ton at the Opera house, and everybody
should avail themselves of this "oppor-
tunity of lifetime" to see such a rare
collection Of antiquities, curiosities and
relics.
"Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works." as rep
resented by the ladies of the Universal
list Church at the Opera-house last
Thursday evening, was a decided Sue
cess. Mrs. Albert Deem impersonated
the character of Mrs. farley" to perfec-
tion. G.. W. Churchill and Levi Ris-
niger as the "Babes of the Woods" we're
simply immense, but G. W. c., contrary
to the "Jarley" idea, continued MUNICH
ing his doughnut after being set in posi-
ton. Charles Guild upset his lady love
out of the wheelbarrow onto the tstage,
the programme to the contrary, notwith-
standing. John Nourse, as "Diogenes,"
swung his lantern on high seeking the
honest man, but as the City Council were
not in attendance, found him not. Taken
all in all, the performance was par excel.
lence, and the repetition of the same
would undoubtedly insure a crowded
house.
