out single pillow point in stock, and when
one is needed, the team is taken from the
field and driven TO the store. Such less
Of time is serious matter, and should be
thougbifully guarded against by ample
provision of all such articles Of the farm.
II is a poor time TO mend harrow when
it should be at work in the field.
We do not favor that economy--if i
NAV be 80 called-that relies upon the

economical practice. Be provided will

into the skeleton, he drove a couple Of
miles, and then asked the groom to station
along the road such objects as the horse

horse was driven by them quietly back and
forth, with loose lines slapping GU his back

For weeks public expectation in Aupusta

present the charming opera of sPepita. and
all nave looked forward to a rare treat. Las,
evening the first presentation of s.pen;,a.,
occurred IN Granite Hall, and, considering
was the opening night, there was a very
| satisfactory house. The plot is familiar 70
many. Pepita is the charming daughter of a

nephew, conspires with Dolores. the nursa
whose daughter he proposes to marry, to put

her OF to a Gypsy tribe. Afterwards Beverly
Howard, Lieut.. U. S. N, and Ben Holt. an
old sailor, go to the Gypsy camp to have their
fortunes told. Howard falls in love with
feplta and they agree to have a secret meet

Gypsy camp and happy meeting eusues be.
tween daughter and parents. FINALLY Pepita
presents Howard to her father and mother as
her accepted lover. The "Eifin Dance !"
from Iolanthe, an entirely novel and most
beautious feature, was introduced and fairly
captured the audience. Twelve misses ar
rayed in gittering costumes and bearing sill
very wands, tripped lightly and gracefully to
and fro 1t was a fascinating. rapmous
scene and won round upon round of applause.
The opera was admirably rendered, and the
cast of character could not have been bet
tered The acting was remarkable when the
inexperlence of the actors is considered.
The parts were all well taken, and we could
not mention one without doing injustice to
another. The rendition gave evidence of
thorough preparation and training. The
voices were all good and several excelled.
Under the admirable training of Mr.. Fred
ii. Rowse, the chorus was very superior
The company scored brilliant success which
they may well be proud of, and we predict

SUICIDE.
John senate, an Inmate of the AImsh Ouse
browns Himself.

Yesterday afternoon John Senate, an in
mate of the Augusta almshouse, committed
suicide. He went out to take a stroll and
was found at 80 Z. NJ, in pool of water
near the house, drowned. Coroner Libby
was called, but he deemed an inquest unnec-
essary. Mr.. Senate was formerly resident
of Augusta, being employed in the bakery
some four years ago. Moving to Richmond,
he became town charge, and having gained
residence in Augusta, was brought here
last Saturday. Alteration of mind, resulting
from his misfortunes, was doubtless the cause
of the act. The deceased was man about
20 years of age.

his young man was in search of minister
to conduct the funeral services of his father,
who had just died. He could find no one in
Gardiner whom he wanted, so he applied to
our Augusta business man whom he met.
Our Augusta friend mentioned a clergyman
IN this city whom he thought would go, and
made arrangements with the young
man, as he thought, for some one
to meet the minister at Gardiner or So.
'ardiner-he could hardly remember which
on Tuesday afternoon. The Augusta
clergyman on being informed, decided to at
tend the fuoeral, and started out by train on
tuesday afternoon. Arriving at Gardiner
The good man found no one there to meet him,
aud accordingly continued on his way in the
cars until reaching So. Gardiner, where he
stopped of. Here again he found no one to
meet him. Upon this our friend struck out
aoot. walked to Iceboro, distance of
ioar miles, and hailing ferryman at that
point, proceeded across the river to Dresden
ana to the house where the funeral was to be
neid. Imagine his establishment and chagrln
when he found the funeral was not to be held
until the next day, the Augusta business man
having made grievous mistake. Yesterday
the clergyman went to Dresden and con-
Oucted the funeral services of the deceased
