in this county, few days ago, and have oc-
casioned good deal of excitement among
the owners Of stock. Several horses affect

worth by Mr.. Harnish, travelling insur-
ance agent, who said he bought them in
champaign county. While bringing the
animals here he discovered at Ellsworth
that they had CHAMBERS. He
again halted at Holder and was
maze certain of the nature of the
olsease. he then brought them to Hey-

devoid of interest. The curtain rises upon
the Sofway, and is the property of Lord
Cecil, minister of the late King George
Ill. Lord Cecil has Just married Miss
Ruth Moore, beautiful Irish girl, who is
in love with Stephen Ashwell. and who.
though forced into marriage with the
wealthy peer, will not be his wife except
IN name. Lord Cecil, engrossed by affairs
of state, has agreed to let Ruth have di-
vorce, in order that she may retire into a
convent, when the existence of Stephen
Ashwell is revealed to him by the traitress
of the piece, Mrs. Andrews, who is her
self in love with Stephen. Lord Cecil
then refusesj his consent, and the scene
shifts to the United States, where Stephen
Ashwell has emigrated and is serving with
the rebels.
Lord Cecil is sent out to command the
British troops; his wife and the wicked
Mrs. Andrews follow him; and some
very interesting episodes in the war of in
dependence are put upon the stage. In
the end Lord Cecil falls at Boston, his
head resting against the pedestal of the
statue of King George and his body envel-
oped in the folds of the English flag.
Thus Ruth is left free to marry her first
love, who has risen to high command in
the American army; Mrs. Andrews is kill
ed by an arrow from the bow of an Indian
girl, just as she is about to stab her rival
in Stephens affections. The acting is not
nearly so good as the mounting of the
piece.
