William, son of James L. SummeriI, of
Daretown, was severely injured the other
day by the bursting of gun which he
fired off. The piece was an old fashioned
one and went to pieces at the first fire. A
fragment of the barrel lacerated the left
arm. Fortunately the young man is able
to be around, although the arm is useless
for the present.

ing the animal by the head. we essayed to
lead him up few steps when he bolted
with us and dashed across Allen avenue
down the steep incline near Main street,
breaking through the gate into the meadow
and dragging us with him and depositing

other side Of the fence, minus hat and
spectacles, and with a badly torn suit of
clothes and sundry bruises, acquired we

felt for our note book and pencil to .jot
down how the animal broke loose from the
carriage, which was securely anchored to
a post, and in so doing tore out the dash
and hood and broke 4 shaft besides sundry
fractures in the harness. It's cold day
when we get left on an item if we happen
to be around at the time and il this case
we were very much around and felt as
though we were greatly in the way of the
performance. But all things have theircom-

Uncle TOMS Cabin.

By far the largest audience ever in the
New Opera House since its opening was
present on Wednesday evening to witness
the production of the ever popular "Uncle
Toms Cabin" as given by ". w. Wood :
Philadelphia Dramatic Company Over
two hundred reserved seats were sold be-
fore the doors opened and by half past
seven o'clock nothing was left but stand
ing room. Before the performance com
menced even that was all taken and num-
bers were turned away, unable to gain ad-
mission
The play was presented in the best man.
ner ever witnessed by Woodstown au-
dience, and the company one which it is a
pleasure for us to notice. ". w. Wood
took the parts of George Harris and Simon
Legree and rendered them in his usual
effective manner, his part in the latter char
acter, when recalling the memory of his
dead mother, being especially fine. J. II.
Holland was an ideal Uncle Tom, and rem
dered his lines with a feeling that fitted
the part to perfection. The Marks of w
II. kinsell was very creGitable, both the
makeup and acting of the part beng good.
]. Thompson, in the parts of Ptineds Fleteh,
er and Deacon Perry gave some very neat
bits of acting, his Hold on, Quaker in
TIE FORMER part bringing DOWN tne mousse
every time W. S. Erwin deserves credit
for the manner in Which, he presented the
two dissimilar characters, 81. Clair and
Gantption Cute, and the rest of the male
roles were in capable hands. Ofthe female
parts the honors of the evening rested be
tween Miss Ethel Darlington. as Cassie and
Marie. and Mrs. G. Pennoyer in the part OF
Aant Ophelia Miss Darlington is perfect
ly at home in emotional parts, and we
should like to have the opportunity of see
ing her in a role giving more scope to her
evident capabilities. Mrs. Pennoyer's rep
resentation of the aunt from Vermont
could not well be bettercd Miss Nina Du-
mont as Iopsy won her share of applause
and laughter by her antics and songs, and
little Era brought tears to the eyes OF
many in the more affecting parts of the
drama. The minor pats were well taken.
The music was very good and we think
every one went home satisfied, the only
dra back being the length of some of the
waits. Mr. Woods company are con-
templating another visit to Wooastown
soon, when they will probably present
"The Octoroon. and we think we can be-
speak forthem another good-sized audience.
