ADJUSTMENTS.

After all, in the spectacular field, "The
Black Crook, which will be produced in
the Opera House tonight and tomorrow
evening, has never yet had its equal.
good many of the present generation know
it only by the incomplete and miserable
editions Of the "play" which have secured a
sort of position at the variety theatre, for it
is now is years since the "Crook" first saw
the light and glory at Niblo's Garden, New
York. The recent revival by the Kiralty
Brothers at the same theatre is essentially
different from the old in the changes made
to suit the refined and educated of the
present day.
Miss JEANNE Winston and Miss Amy
Gordon in ',Perichole" Is the attraction at
the Opera House on Friday night. The
Philadelphia Press says of the play: The
success of "Perichole" at the lyceum has
been as remarkable as it was really meritor-
ious and deserved. This, one of the best
operas that Ofienbach ever wrote, has drawn
excellent houses, and the demand for its
continuance has fairly warranted the man
agement in retaining it on the stage for a
third week.
Harrigan and Hart's play entitled "Squat-
| ter Sovereignty" will be presented at the
Opera House on Saturday night, by a strong
comedy company.

A Profaue Prisoner.

Edward Gracy, sailor on board the
Fourteen-foot Light Ship, came to this city
day or two since and has done nothing
since his arrival but drink whiskey. He
was arrested by the police yesterday and
given hearing before the Mayor last even
ing Edward made his appearance in court
smiling all over his face and as talkative as
parrot. While the Mayor was swearing
the officer Edward was trying to explain to
the Chief how it was, and
when cautioned about his loud talk
ing looked good naturedly at the
chief and winked at the crowd. Edward
finally made a statement, saying: 81 came
up here on a two weeks leave from the
Fourteen foot light ship-came up to get
drunk-done it-but d it don't want to
spend half of my leave in jail. / don't see
why fellow who has been aboard ship for
five months, can't come up on a two weeks
drunk without having the d police
snatch him up. Its II shame" All the
time the prisoner was reclining gracefully
in the corner of the dock, smiling and wink
ing at intervals, and he was only stopped
when the usual sentence of so cents and
costs was imposed.

FIFTY GOOD SHAD.
First Drag of GIOucester's Big seine-An
Assorted Haul.

AbbOEteu
The Philadelphia Press of to-day has the
following; The first haul of shad with the
big seine came ashore Yesterday soon after
midday. 1t was but a poor one after all,
however, for by actual count there were but
so salable shad taken out of the net. This
meagre take is accounted for by the fact
that the bottom near in shore is
foul; that is to say, Uttered with
unconsidered trifes, such as huge piles
OF rock and great piles that have rotted out
CT their holes, and having, during their long
years of submersion, acquired specific
gravity exceeding that of water, have re-
mained lying at the bottom instead of wash
ing ashore. Soon after 10 O'Clock the yawl
was rowed away, paying out the net as it
sped along. Care was taken in passing
Thompson's Hotel to give the float a wide
berth, and the mishap of Monday
was thereby avoided. The cast made
was shorter than yesterdays, and as the
capstan was out of order the work Of haul
ing In the rope as well as pulling In the net
had to be done by the men unaided. A
crowd of the townfolks and a handful of
visitors stood risking wet feet in the break
ing surf eagerly watching the incoming net,
as the colored men stood knee deep in the
water and tugged and pulled and grunted
and sighed as they toiled over their arduous
task.
A huge log of wood which came in with
the last so yards of the net took ten men to
roll ashore, and no doubt number of fish
got away through 1t temporarily raising the
dragging meshes. When the last few yards
came in, about hundred fish were seen
leaping and squirming in the net,
fruitlessly endeavoring to escape. Only
about half of these, however,
were shad. There were number
Of fine catfish a huge eel weighing eight
pounds and magnificent rock fish that
tipped the beam at IL pounds. This last
named choice specimen of the finny race
was despatched as tribute to one of the
Fish Commissioners from Mr.. Howell.
The shad, although in good condi-
tion, did not run very large, but
as the season progresses, and the
bottom gets cleared of impediments, it is
anticipated that the fish taken will increase
both in size and multitude. The colored
men engaged in the work are comfortably
housed in an old building at the water side.
They are supplied with substantial food,
well cooked in kitchen attached to the
building, and they earn from S22 to S24 per
month.

Madison street MARKET

The Madison street market this morning
was larger than at any time since its
start. The wagons extended from
Second street to within a short dis
tance of Sixth. The farmers are sanguine
of success in the new field, and explain that
as soon as the produce raised on the farms
is marketable they will be as independ-
ent as the King street dealers. The crowd
of buyers was also greater and fewer people
were found going to King street from the
portion of the city west of Madison street.

earnestly upheld in st. Andrews Episcopal

were present and music were furnished by

RAPIDLY PUSHING WORK.

An immense grist went through the Legis-
lative hoppers yesterday so far as important
bills are concerned. The House passed the
Water Commission bill, which was read
twice in the Senate, the Trustees of the Poor
bill, the bill to prevent fraud at primary
elections in New Castle county and great
many others, given below, and disposed of
the local option bill and the telegraph bill.
The Senate also did great deal of work
the biggest piece of which was the Port
Wardens' bill, it having been amended so
as to be acceptable to Mr.. Pasehall but not
to Mr.. Green and Mr.. Wilson. In the COM
missioners to locate wharf lines Mr.. Men
denhall's name has been changed for that
of George A. Lemaistre. The House held
an evening session, and worked hard from
O'Clock until 10, all OF which looks like
an easy adjournment by Friday next.
