LAUGHED TO DEATH.

a Crowd ParnIyEed by the Fanny Comedy.
An immense audience fairly laughed
itself sick at the Opera House last night,
over Harrison and Gourlsy's famous com
edy, Skipped by the Light OF the Moon"
The house was literally packed from foot
lights to rahers. The play was immense.
One might as well hope to successfully pho
togrsph laugh as describe this piece o.
say Why it is funny. 1t simply and sub
timely de5es analysis. It's sole object is to raise
breeze. The breeze which Harrison and
Gourley have raised By it has got quite be
yond their control, and grown to an unman
sgeable magnitude Of cyclone.
The most imperturbsble nature
goes down before it without
= show Of PERSISTENCE, and everybody rolls and
shakes and laughs. Nothing in the wav o.
iarcical invention that has been seen here
in recent years can be compared to it for
rapid action, novel situations aud entangled
complications, all arising logically from
lark Of two wellmannered Philaaelp hia
clerks, and the loss Of Mrs. Obadiah DingleS
baby BY q thoughtless servant.

Not Her Skeleton-A Woman Who Rose
From the Dead.
Some time since there was some excite
ment stirred up in this neighborhood over
the finding of skeleton in ledge Of rocks
west oftown, says the Bellaire Independent
1t was thought by some persons that the
skeleton was that Of Margaret Porter, a girl
who disappeared some years ago very mystic
riously. The father, Harrison Porter, after
wards disabused his mind of this idea, though
he had never heard from his daughter, and
some time afterwards letter YVES dropped
into the office here addressed to Mr.. Por
Ter and containing the article published in
the Independent about the mysterious
disappearance and subsequent finding Of
bones supposed to be those of the missing
girl The letter stated that Margaret Por
Ter was not dead, but was living on Short
Creek. A search was made, and it was
found that a daughter of Margaret Porter
did live on Short Creek, but Margaret her

inquiries, and was shown into the kitchen.
There was the missing woman. They recog-
nized one another at first sight, and the
poor woman who has passed all these years
since 1864 without seeing even any Of her
own people, made full confession and went
with her brother to visit her parents in
this township. 1t seems that she felt
the disgrace that befell her quite
keenly, and concluded to absent
herself and, though she was never very far
away, she had never seen any one from this
ncighsorhood who identified her. She has
managed to save some money out of her
earnings, and has now about $500. Her
TWO children are we'll provided for, and she
has turned up in the land of the living just
in time to make her father, who has been
mourning for her as dead, rejoice in seeing
his long lost daughter, who was supposed to
have been murdered by soldiers at the time
Of her disappearance. The case is roman
tic in the extreme, and verifes the state
ment that truth is sometimes stranger than
fiction.

After Operating In st. nIArys saddenly Disc
appears.
The down the river papers are very much
exercised over click swindler who has
been operating in Peasants county, He
arrived in ST. Mays. according to the Par
kersburg Journal, in the shape Of one Sar-
gent, young gentleman, tall, well dressed,
smooth shaven and generally prepossessing
in appearance He appeared to have
money in abundance, and the citizens were
fayorably impressed with him. Ii soon be-
came rumored that be was the SON of New
Orleans millionaire and was looking for
safe investment of bis portion of the pater-
nal wealth. He professed to have already
invested largely in England and as ne had
a eopious correspondence which came TO
him via New Orleans his story was given
the appearance OF truth.
Sargent finally announced his intention
of investing $4,000 in large flour and saw
mills in Peasants county. He hsd scheme
BY which he would buy up all the whea'
and lumber in that section OF country, to
the utter exclusion of every other mill in
that region. The people were re)oiced, the
faces Of the owners of the mill property up
there assumed an unwonted elongation, and
the papers made him double loaded notices.
While all this furore of excitement was agi-
tatinE the people, Sargent so it is now
reported, was beating his way along at de-
ligh,iul gait.
The denouement came last "Wednesday
and from Editor Prettymsn, of the Observer
we obtained the following facts: Matters
we're coming to q crisis though the st
Marys people we're innocen,ly sleeping aud
dreaming golden dreams of coming pros

meeting and ostentatiously presented the

morning dawued, but the festive capitalist
had flown. 1t was then discovered that he
had forged a check for $l75 on one Nc
Grew, and had obtained the money on it
from gentleman named j. r. Singleton
1t is now shrewdly suspected by the people
Of Peasants that Sargent was q professional
sharp. The cashier Of the check now
mourns his money, and tho community
sorrows for the realization of the bright
dreams of coming prosperity, which was so
soon to transform their barrenness into an
