A Perfect Beauty.

A few days since, we had the pleas
ure of seeing, and hearing, the new
"Baby Grand" piano which has just
been received by Prof Cheesbro, from
the State agent, Roe Stephens, of De-
troit. To say that it is fine instru-
ment, is by far too faint an expression.
The length is about six feet, thus taking
up very little more room than square
piano. The finish is rich in its plain
ness, and the legs are the finest pattern
we ever saw. The action, we should
imagine, is as near perfect as mechanism
can make it; the touch is remarkably
easy and even; but the tone, as Prof
Cheesbro said, never mind the furniture
part of the instrument, but let us con-
slider the tone. Well, we are not suffi-
GENTLY versed in all the fine names used
by musical critics, but there is some
thing that fills the room to overlooking
the moment the keys are struck; no
clang, or bang, or noise, but pure, full
tone, rich and sonorous, that once
heard, cannot be forgotten by any one
having the least spark of love for good
music. The instrument is strictly first
class, and will be treat for any one to
look at or listen to.
The fine Square Grand Knabbe be-
longing to Hon. A. w. Comstock, was
furnished by Prof. Cheesbro, through
the State agent, Roe Stephens, and
came direct from the factory at Balti-
more, being especially selected by one
of the members of that well known
firm. This piano probably stands with
out a peer as Square Grand. We
are also informed by Judge Tuttle, that
the beautiful double round "Bent'
piano that Prof. Cheesbro furnished
for him, has more than met the expec-
tations of himself and family, and he
takes great pride in showing and rec
commencing it. This piano also came
through the house of Roe Stephens.
We are pleased to see the Professor
is determined to handle none but the
best in the way Of instruments, and he
is certainly in position to know what
class of instruments are needed in this
community, as his extensive class of
pupils takes him into the families Of
most of our best citizens.
The Baby Grand will be used at the
Junior exhibition, at the Congregation
al church, on Friday evening, by Prof
Cheesbro's pupils, when we hope to
hear the fine tones of that instrument
again.
The Grand piano is made by Behn-
ing & Son, New York, and the style is
known as the "Baby Grand" an abso-
lutte warrant accompanying each piano,

Headless Rooster.

William Hill, of Altoona, is the
owner of headless rooster which still
lives to create wonder in the minds Of
the people. On the morning. of the
fifth of June, among other fowls, Mr.
Hill decapitated the rooster named fol-
culinary purposes, but finding that this
fowl would not die, he made an incisior
into its "crop," and has since been feed
ing it with liquid food by means of q
syringe. The rooster is still able tc
walk about and assume place in the
sphere Of animate nature. Mr.. Hill
proposes to exhibit his wonderful head
less chicken" at Shwitzer's hall in this
place Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings next.-Alcona Review.

it to be the best realistic acting that
has been seen here for some time.
Geo. r. Caine acted the villainous
part of McShane in an admirable man
ner. In fact, judging Mr.. Game by
what he did when he was here last
summer with the Waldron q Chappelle
troupe, we expected good acting from
him, and were not disappointed.
The troupe gave good satisfaction,
received good houses, except on the last
night, when they repeated the Galley
Slave" If they had given new
play on their last night, they would
have been better patronized.
The troupe went TO Cheboygan from
this place.

Powers Geraldine Troupe.

w. H. Powers Geraldine troupe
played four nights at the Opera House
last week, presenting the "Galley
Slave" ON Tuesday and Friday nights,
and "My Geraldine" on Wednesday
and Thursday nights. The troupe,
taken altogether, gave much satisfac.
ton. They are very good troupe,
evenly balanced, but with no especial.
ly strong members.
With Owen Fawcett's acting we
must express to a feeling of disappoint-
ment. He did not come up to the
standard that we expected from an &C
tor of his reputation. From him we
expected some really fine acting, but
instead witnessed merely what might
be termed good acting. He appears
too cold and formal for q lively come
dian. He was far better as "Teddy
Cregan" in "My Geraldine" than as
Franklin Fits" in the Galley Slave"
The same remark is true of the troupe
generally-they doing far better in
"My Geraldine" than in the Galley
Slave"
The finest acting, in our judgment,
was the scene amid the ruins of Gray
Nun Abbey, and we cannot speak too
highly of the acting of Miss Della
Palmer, as Geraldine" in that scene.
Her representations of dread, terror,
anguish and fear were finely represent
ed.
The transformation scene was be-
yond all doubt the finest ever exhibited
on stage in this city. The audience
were gazing on scene which showed
rocks on one side and a howell on the
other, while away in front appeared a
river dotted with islands and grit with
mountains. On one of these islands
was the ruins of the abbey, and as the
play proceeded, it was necessary to
bring the abbey before the audience.
Thus while the spectators were looking
on, the rocks and howell disappeared,
and in their place appeared the gate Of
the abbey and some Of the ruins. A
cross sprung up in the center, while in
the back ground were the ~ :,
arches of the r'''- Pillais I'LL"
w.... --,ned abbey. The scene
:. ...s startling and beautiful-the change
from one scene to the other being hard
ly perceptible. Then when Geraldine
appeared amid the ruins, Mortified, and
filed with dread at what she supposed
were supernatural noises, it seemed real,
and is it to be wondered at that the spec
tators' feelings and sympathies were
aroused, and that when Geraldine was
rescued from the murderer McShane,
by her lover Maurice, that tumultuous
cheers echoed though the room and
were continued until the heroine ap-
] peared before the curtain. We believe
