Three acts introduce a number of very clever speciality artists, whose amusing sayings and briskness of manner kept the audience in continuous state of good humor. The escapades of Harry Hall, of Harvard, and YardlY Yearance, of Yale, the adventures of Virgie Vaul and Viola Vincent, two vivacious Vassar demoiselles, the tribulations of Mitts and Chops, a pair of entertaining, though far from ferocious, tigers" not to speak of the mishaps of the literary Smythlin and the chirp maid Della, all combined to furnish pleasant entertain ment. The acrobatic feats of the Dalys are noticeable for their excellence and remind one strongly of the Hanlons, who are recog- nized facile princeps in their particular line.

Death of An old Hunter.

Lawton B. Barton of East Hampton, Ct., known by many as ''Uncle Jed," died last Sunday, aged ffty-one. But few people in that place were more widely known than Uncle Jed.

Not only have his efforts in this direction been in this State, but for years, like Daniel Boone and many others, he buried himself in the wilds of the far West, following nothing but hunt ing and trapping. He also served as a pri- vate in the Union army.

 Last Saturday evening Mrs. Beste, the wo- man who for several years past has been giv- ing sittings and calling back to this earth (according to her story) departed ones in all the large cities in the East, went to Hartford and stopped at the house of Miss c. A. House, 12S Trumbull street. Miss House is Spiritualist. Mrs. Beste gave exhibitions of her powers Monday and Tuesday evenings and also Wednesday evening at $1 head, but this last evening Mrs. Beste was afraid that some plot had been laid to expose her and took particular precautions that no one should get near her by stretching wire across in front of the audience. However, plan had been laid to expose her if possible and two men had been let into the kitchen and at signal given by Miss House the men entered the room and seized the medium, who was when the lights were turned up discovered to be in an undress condition. Mrs. Beste signed an agreement promising that she would never again appear in public as a test medium, and then took late train for Washington, D. O., where she has friends. Mrs. Beste is very clever woman and has fooled many people during her pub lie career.

TuE WHEAT cR0r.

The wheat crop IL net as likely TO
turn out as large yield as was expect
ed by the majority of farmers. In
some localities the yield will DO
over average, while in other parts OF
the eountry-even where the gram
looked to bo above the average-it
falls short. The late warm weather
has rIpeneG grain much faster than 1t
has ever been known to rluen In this
country before, and it has perhaps
had tendency 10 shrivel the grain
AS II has roasted or bligh,ed some
of the fruit-apples, plums, etc. We
have heard OF several instances where
the wheat before /, was cut looked AS
though 1t would out so or 40 bushels
TO the acre, has yielded far less. Fol
instance, Mr. John Ssvags on Salem
Prairie had IL piece, OF which before
IL was cut, looked as though IL would
go from 30 10 40 bushels per acre
only yielded 20 bushels per acre aitel
being cut ana threshed. Mr.. Macy
another Salem Prairie farmer realized
30 bushels TO the acre. We still be

Daring the past few days there has
been a decided advance in the New
York stock market, and this Ia general
ly accepted as an indication of better
times. Not that business in New
York or elsewhere is dependent ON the
fluctuation Of stocks Of any description,
but that when business begins to i'm.
prove stocks improve also. Tho prin-
cipal stocks sold in the Empire city are
railroad and telegraph, all of which have
some substantial basis for prices asked.
Now, when business revives the rail-
roads are well patronized and begin TO
make money. So also do tho telegraph
lines. The same is true in greater
or less degree of ali stocks sold in New
York cry. Men, when business be-
gins 10 revive, are encouraged 10 invest
in stocks of all descriptions.
The reports as to crops 10 the East
are somewhat discolored, and even If
they were not there is still a large stock
Of wheat, corn, etc, to draw on, 80
thst there will be good deal to sell at
what we expect 10 DO much better than
usual prices. The railroads will have
enough to haul and will probably make
some money, and IL Is doubtless con-
siderations OF this Kind that haye in
huenced an advance.
With general Improvement Of busi-
ness in the East there will be an in-
creased demand for all our leading pro-
ducts wheat alone excepted. This
news, therefore. is as interesting to US
as il could probably be to any one east
