Death Ofa Veteran.

Philadelphia Ledger, January l1th.l
Mr.. Ethelbert A. Marshall, for
many years one of the best known the
%atrical managers in Philadelphia, and
indeed in the country, died at his resi-
dence in this city, yesterday morning,
in the seventy-frst year Of his age.
Mr.. Marshall was a native of Previ-
dence, Rhode Island, and when a lad
served as an apprentice in a newspaper
office in that city. He was employed
as pressman on the Providence Pa
triot when hand presses were exclu-
sively used. Coming to this city some
years later, he entered the banking
house of Enoch Clark, as a clerk, con-
tinuing his connection with that house
until after the firm name was changed
to L. w. Clark & Co. At that time
Mr.. Marshall was induced to tempo.
rarily assume the management of the
Walnut street theater. Finding this
vocation either so lucrative or pleas
ant that he felt himself unable to re-
linquish it, he embarked his savings
IN the enterprise, and for a term Of
years leased the old Walnut street
theater. This was the beginning OF a
long life of theatrical lesseeship and
management. He remained at the
head Of the Walnut street theater for
about twenty years, during which pc
riod he also leased or managed the
Broadway theater of New York, the
old Chestnut of this city, the Holiday
street theater, Baltimore, the Nation
al theater OF Washington, and the
Marshall theater, at Richmond. Va,
and, for a brief season, was the lessee
of the Academy of Music on Broad
street. He introduced in nearly all of
the cities named a long list of the
great Europeans and Americans ofthe
lyric and histrionic stage. His sue
cess. however, was more particularly
based on his Management OF dramatic
than operate stars, for in the latter
role his prosperity was but short
lived.
At one or more Of his theaters Mr..
Marshall brought out Edwin Forrest,
Macready, the English tragedian,
james Anderson, Junius Brutus

Mrs. Alexander.

A Washington special says. Mrs.
Alexander, Sayler's love, was at the
capitol to-day. She. sent her card in
to Senator Hill, of Georgia, and had
a long conversation with him. After
she had chewed the ear of this states
man for an hour she tripped lightly
down the steps leading to the senate
restaurant. Mrs. Alexander raj
dressed in the height of fashion. Her
dress was of black silk, her wrap of
the same color and texture, lined with
fur. She is not at all handsome j.;
rather gaudy, but not pretty. In
stature she is small. Her features are
regular, ave her mouth, which is a
yawning chasm. She is in a pet about
something, thinks she has been abused,
and believes, evidently, that silence is
golden,

Disastrous Fire.

Ripley Eows.I
On last Monday night, about ten
O'clock, Mr.. E. r. Oldham's resi-
dence, on his Forest home farm, near
Hatchie river, was totally destroyed
by fire. 1t is thought by Nh. Oldham
that the fire was caused by a leak in
the chimney near its top, and next to
the east gable end Of the house. The
crack in the chimney being obscured
by the end of the house, had never
boen e by Mr.. Oldham until the
top of the house was nearly ready to
fall in. He saved but few of his
household goods, and he estimates his
loss at over two thousand dollars,
upon which there was no insurance.
Mr.. Oldham has lost heavily by fire;
having previously on one occasion,
lost a horse-gin and mill and at another
time he had his steam saw and grist-
mill and cotton'gin destroyed by fire.

Booth, Ole Bull, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Kean, James IL. Hackett,
Lola Montez, the Ravels, Gazzaniga,
Alboni, Madame Anna Bishop, Miss
Davenport, who was afterwards better
known as Mrs. Lander, and a host of
Others who, in their dsy, were the
bright particular stars of the stage.
He played Edwin Forrest one hun
drod consecutive nights at the Broad
way theater, New York, and is said to
have paid the distinguished tragedian
at various times during his managerial
career sums aggregating nearly a
million dollars. His list of stage man
ayers, it is said, included Thomas
Barry at the Broadway, Peter Rich
ings at the Baltimore theater Char
lotte Cushman at the Walnut, William
Wheatley at the Washington, and
Rufus Blake at the Richmond theater.
During his management Of these
theaters Mr.. Marshall produced,
among other pieces, several Of the
plays of George H. Boxer, the princi-
pal of which were "The Betrothal,"
in which play Couldock made consid-
cradle reputation in the part of Marcio;
"Leonore de Guzman," with Julia
Dean in the play, which was produced
in an elaborate manner and at great
expense, and the drama entitled Gal
aynos," in which the chief role was
sustained by James Il. Murdoch.
Upon the completion of the Phila-
delphia Academy of Music, in 1857,
Mr.. Marshall leased that building for
a year or so, opening the academy on
the evening Of February 23d, with the
opera of "Trovatore," Madame Gaz-
zaniga, the distinguished prima donna,
making her first appearance in Amer
lea on that occasion in the part of
Leonora. During his subsequent con-
n%ection with the Academy of Music,
Mr.. Marshall produced everything
upon an elaborate scale, but, owing to
the extreme severity of the times.
consequent upon the financial panic
of hat year, he was but poorly sup
ported in his efforts and lost heavily,
being obliged, in 1858, to r%elinquish
his lease. This was one of his last
ventures in the managerial line.
An interesting event in the life Of
Mr.. Marshall was the complimentary
benefit which was rendered him
in August, 1851, in New York city,
the testimonial being signed ny Gov
ernor Washington Hunt, Christopher
Morgan, secretary of state of New
York. and a long list of distinguished
citizens. The entertainment, which
was announced on the bills as a
Grand Dramatic Jubilee" was held
in Castle Garden, and lasted from 10
o'clock in the morning until II o'clock
at night. The programme embraced
selections by the Grand italian opera
troupe, with Bosio, Vietti and Salvi
in the cast; an exhibition by the
Ravel family, Professor Anderson,
in sleight. Of hand acts, the Rousset
and Martinetti families, Kemp's
troupe of French comedians, Seguin's
English opera troupe an others. A
similar entertainment for the benefit
of the veteran manager was given in
this city many years later, and, as in
New York, the testimonial was signed
by the names of many prominent citi-
zens.

During the holidays; j. H. Huff
s%tetler, living in the Twelfth civil dis
trict, of Dyer county, eloped with the
wife of Doc Lew Allen. Hufstetler,
who is over 30 years of age and has a
limp in his walk, came here from In
diana, For the past few years he has
been a magistrate, and was regarded as
a passably good and industrious citi-
zen but illicit love, whose lascivious
dalliance leads so many men from the
path ofduty, turned his head, and he
forgot wife and children in the warm
and wanton embraces of his guilty
paramour. In her fight, the woman
took with her her only child. But
Hufstetler basely abandoned an esti-
mable wife, three married daughter i
and several other children. The in
jured husband has gone in search of
his truant wife, who, at last accounts,
was living with her companion in
crime on a fishing boat, in the Missis-
sippi river, opposite O%sceola, Ark.
We CLEAN all the above from reliable
authority.

chosen to the Pennsylvania legislature

created one day by his introducing a
certain bill. The members thought to

aud that is enough" A majority
voted for it. The ways of some legis
latures are peculiar.
