m~coUL1ouGH's vIRaINIus.


The greeting extended to Mr.. Jno.
Mccullough last night on his reap
pearance as Virginius, proved to be
hearty and enthusiastic. The capaci-
ty ofthe theatre was pretty well taxed,
and the audience were apparently de-
lighted with the beautiful dramatic
illustration. A few noisy persons in the
crowded upper galleries made it un-
pleasant for a period, but after Mr..
Mccullough rebuked them with a few
pointed remarks, they kept quiet, and
ifthey did not listen to the words of
the play they permitted others to do
it. Mr.. Mccullough has reason to
feel proud of the reception accorded
him, for he was called before the
curtain by the cordial tempered
audience at the end of each act.
The coming ofthe Mccullough troupe
had been looked forward to with pleas
urable anticipations by our theater
habitues, and the capital rendition of
Knowles grand tragedy of Virgin
ius, the Roman Father proved a
magnetic attraction to draw the pop
ular crowd. The supporting charac-
ters were all good, and from first to
last the play run smoothly. Icilius
was acted by Mr.. T. B. Warde; Appius
Claudius by H. A. Langdon Caius
Claudius by II. G. Barton; Dentatus
by John P. Sutton Numitorius by
John A Lane, an old favorite here
Virginia by Miss Kate Forsythe, and
Servia by Mrs. Augusta Foster. To-
night the powerful play Of "Jack
Cade" will be presented. On Thursday
afternoon a matinee performance isto
be given, the gross receipts being for the
benefit of the Irish relief fund, and
the bill arranged is "The Honey
moon with Mr.. Mccullough as Duke
Aranza, together with the sprightly
piece entitled A Conjugal Lesson"
A crowded audience is assured.
THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.
The members of Thsles temple of
honor and temperance, No. 4, are to
have a social, literary, and dramatic
entertainment at Cochran hall to-
morrow night, and it promises to be a
pleasant affair. The temperance
cause is thriving here, and the young
gentlemen who advocate its abstinent
principles are not idling their spare
time away.
THE RYANs.
The dates for the Ryan's party to
exhibit here have been changed to the
18th and 18th, which is Friday and
Saturday of next week.

The Election for plnristrate.

Mr.. John D. Cox has the ~satisfac-
ton Of knowing 10 advance that many
ofhis friends will voluntarily attend
the polls and work for him earnestly
on the day Of election. Mr.. Cox has
by nature a magisterial, judicial APP
pearance, and in the county court will
fill a good sized chair with ability and
dignity. He is a man Of judicial
impartiality, and would perform the
duties ofthe Office in a manner to give
great satisfaction to the public. He
has never sought Office before and
only became a candidate at the solicit
tation of friends who know the real
worth of the eman. Without in the
least detracting from the other excel.
lent men who are running we should
certainly feel %gratifed TO see Mr.. Cox
elected.

HeImboId,s Buchu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been known
as one of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
c%utaneous affections, and especially affoc-
tons of the urinary organs. AS a diuretic,
it is superior to almost any other medi-
ci Elm use, and the great care with which
it prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection of the crude material, have made
it known far and wide as a reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success of Helmbold's Buchu
has led to the production Of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market TO be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
a really good medicine should be careful
and use Helmbold's only.

During last month, the wind tray
eled over this section $40 miles, its
greatest velocity reaching thirty-four
miles an hour on the 18th, and coming
from the northwest. The coolest day
was on the 18th, when the temperature
dropped to 25o, and the warmest was
the oath, when it rose to 74o. The
average for the month was 47-4, and
the warmest we have had in nine
years, except 1876, when it was 48,6.
The rainfall during the month was
nine and forty-four hundredth inches,
an average of thirty-two h~undredths
per day, and the wettest February in
nine years, by nearly half an inch over
1873, and wei six inches more than
fell last February. We had frost on
fourteen nights, rain on twelve days,
eight clear days, eight fair, and no
foggy weather. These facts are com
puted from the meteorological sum
