English Opera-''The mascOEee.o
Our amusement lovers will be pleased to
learn from an advertisement elsewhere that
Mr.. Charles E. Ford's English Opera Com
pany will appear at the Savannah Theatre
on Monday evening next, 9th, when viii be
presented the charming opera entitled 'The
Mascotte." Since the last engagement Of
the company in this city there have
been some changes, and Miss Marie Bockell,
the charming actress and vocalist, who made
such favorable impression In Savannah in
the Galley Slave" aud 1.-TWO Orphans"
takes the place of Miss Lucette, and will
personate the character "Bettinan in this
opera. The old favorite, Mr.. George Den
ham, Is also in the cast, and the company
comprises forty people. A rare treat may
be expected from the visit of Mr.. Ford's
company. and It is 20 be regretted that their
stay is limited to one night.
The following from the Cincinnati Gdzette
will show how their performance of 1.-THE
Msscotte" was regarded in the Queen City
Of the West:
"rhe Ford Comic Opera Company gave
The Mascotte' last evening, at Htuck's, in
8 most excellent manner to one of the largest
audiences of the week. The house wss
crowded, not to say packed, and the roars
of laughter and outburs's of applause were
an evidence of the fact that the entertain
ment was OF no ordinary character, for his
house has been fortunate enough to have
produced the same opera upon several occa-
sions in such manner that no hing but the
best could be appreciated there at this late
day. Denham, Fitzgerald, and Miss Lucette
Carried eff the honors, though it was not en-
tirely to them that the success Of the even
ing was due. All were good, the costumes
brilliant and effective, the scenery excellent
and every accessory so we'll looked to that
1t wss nearly perfect performance"

The CoIoneI,a RaraxueII-

Last evening Mr.. Erie Bayley's English
company closed their brief engagement at
the Savannah Theatre, and 1.-The Colonel"
made his farewell bow. The very favorable
impression created by the company on the
preceding night was greatly increased, and
the intelligent and spprecistive audi
eEce were exceedingly liberal
aud enthusiastic in their applause. The
amusing situations, the crisp dialogue and
the sharp satire upon the aesthetic art, with
which the play abounds, were admirably
brought out and afforded infoite eDj ~
meat. No company in so brief time has
achieved such popular favor in Savannah as
hss This talented and accomplished corps Of
artists under Mr.. Bayley, and we express
tie desire of our theatre patrons when we
hrpe 10 see them appear again on
cur boards. Mr.. Bayley is .
clever and cultivated English gentleman,
and the people whom he mas gathered
around him are finished artists. The play
they present is sparkling and refined, and
can be thoroughly and heartily appreciated
by an intelligent audience. Mr.. Bsyley is
also fortunate in having for manager Of his
company Mr.. Edward Taylor, who possesses
70 sn eminent degree all the necessary quail
&c ltiOns, and lie wi hal a genial and clever
gentleman. The company leave to-day for
Macon, where they appear this evening.

A mammoGh TurpenIine Sill,

Messrs. J. P. Williams & Co., OF this city,
recently ordered from the mandatory OF
Mcmillan Bros, Of this place, an immense
turpentine still and worm for Messrs. Kim
ball & Co., Of Rogers, Ca, which are pro-
nounced the largest works of this descrip-
ton now in use on naval stores farms. The
worm is seven feet IN diameter and measures
ten and half inches at the top, taperiDg
down to four inches at the bottom, and
weighs some fifteen hundred pounds. The
still is eight and half feet in diameter and
five feet deep. Some idea OF the size
OF these articles may be formed when
II Is known that their capacity is fifty STAN
dsrd barrels, but In manufacturing it is not
customary to fill them to their full capacity.
At least two discharges of rosin and spirits
are obtained daily, and this still and worm
will turn out each discharge forty barrels
OF rosin and nine casks Of spirits turpentine
or eighty standard barrels of and eighteen
casks OF spirits turpentine per day. Messrs.

Painful Accident 10 Mr.. John C,
TAYLOR.

On Monday afternoon as Mr.. John c.
Taylor was driving out to his place, q short
dis ance from the Shell road between Thun-
derbolt and the city, bolt in one Of the
shafts dropped out and the shaft fell from
its position, striking against the horse. The
animal became frightened and commenced
kicking and plunging, causing the buggy to
capsiZs. Mr.. Taylor was thrown violently
to the ground, and his colored man who was
with him was pitched upon him. The horse
then started on q run and went out the road
at a wild gait, not being stopped until he
reached the race track, by which time
the buggy was pretty well demolished. Mr..
Taylor was assisted from the ground by his
eOlOred man and some others and brought
10 the city in 8 wagon, when q physician
was summoned to attend him. Fortunately
no bones were broken, but he is very pain
fully injured and bsdly bruised, and we are
Informed eXpectorsted blood. His condi-
ton last evening was easier, and it is hoped
the accident will be attended with no serious
results.

Yesterday afternoon, about three O'Clock,
rather amusing accident occurred at the
intersection Of Whitaker and st. Julian
streets, which fortunately was attended with
no serious results. Mr.. Baer was driving
a. wagon on which were a number
OF kegs Of oysters, brought from Thun-
derb1lt for Messrs. Savarese & Bro, and on
crossing Whitaker street on bis way 10
their establishment the king-bOlt Of his
vehicle gave way and his horse calmly
walked OF with the front wheels Mr.. Bser
held on to the reins, and being pulled from
his seat dropped suddenly and in the most
emphatic manner plump on the ground.
He was considerably Jared and slightly
bruised, but Otherwise escaped injury. The
dropping OF the front part Of the wagon,
however, caused the oysters to bounce out
of the kegs and they went on 8 regular
circus, as it we're, along the bottom Of the
vehicle

The brigantine America was Yesterday
sold at her wharf. at Lamsr's lower press,
by MessTs J. Mclaughlin & Son. The YES
sci was first offered, and the bidding started
at $500, but was very slow, and when the
bids reached $3.50 there was no indication
that a higher figure would be obtained. At
this iuneture It was thought best to include
the apparel and tackle. which were TO have
been sold separately, with the vessel, and
make one call. Under this new arrange
ment q fresh impetus was given, which
raised the sum to 81. 600. The hull, apparel
and tackle were knocked down to Capt. A.
z. Churchill for that amount. The America
sailed from this port for the BardOes with 8
cargo Of slaves, and returned here In dis
fress. Some temporary repairs Will be made,
when she will be taken to Nova Scotia to
be thoroughly Overhsuled and placed in
