"Furnished Rooms. To-Nieht.

Scott Marbles new comedy, Furnished
Rooms" will be presented at the Opera house
this evening. The Cincinnati Enquirer speaks
of its first performance in that city in these
terms:
Such packed house probably never gath.
cred at an opening SO early in the season, when
the thermometer was among the nineties.
The play took immensely and kept the audi
ence in excellent good humor throughout the
entire evening. Good judgment has been
shown in selecting the company. Each one
seems especially adapted for the part assigned
him or her, and all were earnest in their eff
forts to please. The play is farcical com
edy, with just enough plot to hinge the sever
al acts together and give the audience the run
of the characters. Ludicrous situations
abound, which seems to have been the CHIEF
object I'M the construction of the play. Miss
Patti Rosa, as "Roxana," was captivating
Mr.. Alf. Mcdowell, who is one of the best
comedians on the American stage, has good
part in "Louis Sweet, |" and makes much of it.
Mr.. D. 81. Fitzpatrick, as "Anson Simmer u
an inspired composer, was warmly received
by his many friends here, and in his new char
acter was seen to the very best advantage. The
cast throughout was excellent.

Irish people can, if they will, derive many
benefits from the act, and they can, if
they are so determined, entirely nullify
its provisions. 1t will be far better to

lightning Phenomena.
TRed Wing Argus,Sept. Is.

On the morning of August S1s the house
of Mr.. E. J. Conner was struck by lightning,
an account of which was given in the Argus
for September 1, but one curious feature of
the affair was omitted. The house has two
lightning rods running through glass insul-
ators and the connections of which are ap-
parently perfect. These rods have sharp
pointed tips raised several feet above the ridge
pole, and they end in the ground. There are
also two trees growing within fifteen feet of
the house. the tops of which are higher than
the top of the main part. The curious and as
yet unexplained feature is that the lightning
struck within twenty-five feet of the rods and
near the trees, going in fact almost between
them. Those who believe in the protection
of lightning rods will please explain.

salt cellar from the counter and let it drive
at his head. The missile went to its work

[Ravenna (Ohio) Democrat, Sept. IA.
Mrs. Henry A. Swift, daughter=in-law Of
Mrs. Isaac Swift, of Ravenna, died at hel
home at st. Peter, Mimi, at O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, August 81, of paraly-
sis. This much beloved and most estimable
lady was bereaved by the death of her hus
band February 25th, 1869, and passed the
twelve years of her widowhood IN quiet retire
ment in the homestead where many happy
years were spent in the society of her beloved
husband whose remains repose in Maple Grove
cemetery, Ravenna, where also three of theil
children lie buried, Emily, who died at the
age of 10 years, December II, 1868; Henry
s., who died January 6, 1864. aged
8 years; Stella, who died Sep,
whose maiden name was Ruth Livingston, was
a native of Gettysburg, Pa, where her only
sister now resides. In the year 184S she formed
the acquaintance of Gov. Swift at Columbus,
Ohio, he then being clerk of the Ohio State
senate. In September, 1851, they were mar.
ried at Rochester, Pa, and established their
residence at Ravenna, remaining until April,
1858, when they removed to Minnesota. After
residing three years at St. Paul, they settled at
st. Peter Tin 1860. The eldest of their five
children was born at Ravenna, and but two
survive their lamented and honored parents.
1t must be nearly quarter of century
since the writer met the deceased lady, but
the memory of the brightness of her
young womanhood has never faded and never
can. The attachment of Gov. Swift to his
wife, children and home was marked trait
of his character, and from them he could en-
dure no separation. We well remember call
from him one winter day, i'll the Republican,
Democrat editorial rooms, In the long ago.
He was at that time the most prominent man
in Minnesota, and seat in the United States
senate was then awaiting his acceptance.
"No," he said, ~ shall not take it. It would
separate me so from my wife and children,
that cannot think of it. The cares of public
life shall no more absorb me or take me fol
an hour even, from my family" So he
spoke, felt and acted. What other
tribute could be paid that wife? What
wonder that for long and weary years she re-
manned mourner for such husband? Who
can doubt the hallowed joy of their reunion.
Is not this incident the fullest panegyric that
may be paid to these whom now the earthly
life knows no more, and why need we sorrow
overmueh that they have attained to the estate
where separations never, never come.
The remains of Mrs. Swift were placed in q
temporary tomb on family residence grounds,
at st. Peter, eventually to be placed iot the fam.
lily burial lot at Maple Grove cemetery, Ra-
