News from Cohn.

A letter was received by a prominent
gentleman OF this city, yesterday, FROM
Cohn, the missing treasurer OF the Co
mique. The gentleman who received
the letter had had some business with
Cohn, and the letter was partly business.
In the other part OF the epistle, which
Was dated Columbus, Cohn expressed
in the strongest language his sorrow and
shame at the step he had taken, but as.
sured the gentleman that nothing crimi-
nal was intended. lie says There
were S45 taken in that night. Out OF il
| paid bills amounting to SIS, and
when left Wheeling had a little
over twenty dollars in my pocket, but
give you my word OF honor as a gentle
man that now have bat 6 little over
two dollars in my pocket" He goes on
further to say that the members OF the
troupe had threatened him all the week,
and that he was afraid they would do
him bodily injury when they found out
that he had not enough money to paw
them in full He also says that they
shall all be paid every cent as soon as
he procures the money.

THE GALLEY SLAVE.
An Ovation to its Author.

The Opera House contained only a
fair audience, last night, an audience
that was lar smaller than the play de-
served. The dress circle was tolerably
well filled aud with good class OF peo-
pie and for an ordinary play We should
have said the house was fair one. But
when drama has gained celebrity
equal to that OF the Galley Slave, u
crowded house is no less than ii deserves.
And it has not been oyerrated. Ii has
been STYLED BARLEY Cambel's greatest
triumph and fifty so. The characters are
we'll drawn and strongly marked, the
situations powerful and striking and the
dialogue fine in all instances. Mr.. Camp
bell is fortunate, also, in having his
work SO we'll interpreted as II was last
night Every part was perfectly sns-
tanned and each performer showed his
thorough appreciation OF his part.
Miss Maude Granger still continues
the fayorite she has always been with
Wheeling people. Her personation was,
in parts, superb and her fine form and
good voice stand ever at her bidding.
Siguora MajerOni, as the Italian woman,
deserves much praise, as does also Miss
Eugene Blair, as the versatile "Pysche.
Mrs. Neville, as the mother, and Mrs.
Morse, as the maid. sustained with
credit their respective parts, and little
Georgia is promising specimen.
Mr.. Evans, who will be remembered
as having played "lngomar" to Mary
AndersOn's "Parthenia," sustained his
reputation as fine actor in the difficult
part allotted to him. Mr.. Sullivan, as
the Baron, Mr.. Burns as "Fitts," Mr..
McManus as ELEPHANT" and Mr.. Hen
derson as "Napier," creditable ac-
quilted themselves in their different
roles.
At the close OF vivid scene at the
end Of the second act, after Miss Gran
ger and Signora Majeroni had been
called before the curtain, there were
loud calls ior the author. Finally Mr..
Campbell appeared and bowed his
thanks. But the audience would not be
appeased, aud he was compelled TO re-
appear. When the applause hushed he
said;
Ladies aud gentlemen, | am glad to
meet YOU this evening and thank you
ior your kind demonstration. The warm
weather has come and has, | see, depre'
ciated your numbers, but you certainly
make up in warmth and cordlality what
You lack in strength. | thank you, and
simply say good evening"
The Galley Slave will be repeated this
evening and will he greeted, beyond a
doubt, 10y one OF the finest houses OF
the season.
