ADJUSTMENTS.
woLFERr's o

The John 7. Raymond Theatrical
Company arrived from Nashville this
morning, and will appear atthe theater
tonight in A Legend of Sleepy Hol-
low, worked up in a comic drama,
entitled Wolfort's Roost. The part of
the sohOolmaster of Sleepy Hollow,
"Ichabod Crane" is essayed by Ray
mond, and those who have seen it call
1t a great impersonation. Within the
company, which is said to be an ex
cellent one, are numerous accomplish
ed persons, reared to the dramatic
profession. Among their names appear
George G. Boniface, jr., George Hol-
land, little Dora and twelve church
choir boys as "Ichabod's" pupils. The
first act illustrates a dream of "Icha-
bod" and is in the early autumn peri
cd of nearly seventy years ago, the
scene being Baltus VanTassell's farm
house and orchard and a distant view
of Wolfert's Roost. The peculiar
ways and manners of the early Dutch
settlers of New York are pictured in
the couTse of the act. Next comes
Ichabod's school and the old Dutch
church at Sleepy Hollow, the fate of
the Essex" being related, a bloody
naval combat, glorious in results to the
American arms, and one wherein the
Dutch of New York had many repre-
sentatives and wonmuch prowess. "All
Halloween" inside Of the Dutch far
mer's mansion, when all the neigbtors
sit around the yule log, crack their
jokes and enjoy social pastimes on a
winters night. The house is burned
and the guests scatter in CONSERVATION
at the catastrophe. In the fourth act
happiness winds up the play themorn-
ingafter the fire. There are many laugh
able entanglements and comical scenes
in the play, and it is pronounced a
clever construction as well as a natural
illustration of real life in the early
part of the present century, about the
time of our last war with Great Brit
ain. The author is Geo. Fawcett
Rowe, an Englishman, a capital actor
and a good writer, for a number of
years resident in this country.

always appreciated and where good
houses attend nightly. We have had

a Pinafore party or two, and therefore

thousands here would like to see and
hear. The agent, Mr.. Gobay, ar
rived here to-day from New Or
leans, and proposes to have the
Abbott Troupe visit us, provided a
subscription list Of four hundred
tickets can be sold at five dollars each
for four performances, or $1.25 for
each single representation. The tickets
will be doubtless disposed of without
difficulty. They will be offered to-
morrow at Mr.. John Wilson's cigar
store, on Main street, near the Pea
body. The proposed operas to be
given here in their entirety, with
Miss Abbott to appear in each, are
Romeo and Juliet, Faust, Paul and
Virginia and Mignon. Faust is the
only one Of the four ever performed
in this city. Let us have the opera
by all means. 1t is an entertainment
that all cultivated people should be
glad to attend.

Had the Septennate been allowed to run Its

rejecting on the many memorable events that
have taken place since 1t was first Inaugural

Broglie was the most powerful man in France,
and the Conservatives enjoyed strong ma
jority. The plan of placing Henri Cinque on
the throne OF his ancestors had just been dis.
cussed, and although it had fallen through,
the Legitlmists were by no means damaged.
The Orleanlsts were anything but displeased
at an arrangement which gave the Comte de
Paris fair start; and even the Bonapartlsts,
fallen though they were, could not help calcu.

attained his majority. Now all is changed
The Comtc de Chambord still remains at
Frohsdorf, where, in all probability, he will
end his days. The Comte de Paris is leading
the most quiet and unambitious of lives. AS

out shepherd, and cannot say whether their
future Emperor will call himself jerome or

the utter collapse of the Jesuits and other I'm.

many consider simple installment to be fol

had record of such a complete transiorma
