Uncle TOMS Cabin

The presentation of Uncle Toms Cabin, j."
at the Opera House, yesterday, by the Stetson
double company, was without doubt the best
ever given in this city, during all the years the
play has been coming to our theatres Two
performances. matinee and evening presenta-
ton. were given, and at both there was packed
house. Prior to the performance of the after
noon, the company appeared on the streets in
their grand parade.which is of tI.,i-s,>AoiaI-
ties, and always attracts wide attention They
had big caliope, drawn by four horses, and a
fine band, and in the parade was a handsome
Shetland pony, ridden by little Grace Washburn
the " Eva of the company.
Ot the performance it can be said that it met
eve y expectation of those who expected much
OF Mr.. Stetson. 1t has never been equalled
here, and probably not elsewhere, The char
acterizatlon was good throughout. but especial
mention must be made of Miss Georgia Dean
SPaulding, the greatest lady harpist now before
the the public n IA. and also Miss MOllie Thompson,
ladies' made decided hits, and won frequent
applause.
The company has been booked for return
next season. Wheeling Sunday Register

We had the pleasure, few days since, of in
specting an ancient piece of handiwork, in the
shape of a wooden chair of the high back, oval
seat pattern made by David Barnes, more than
$50 years ago. at Lanesboro', Berkshire Co..
Mass. This chair came into the possession of
Charles F. Day, of this city, the line of whose
maternal ancestry leads back to David Barnes
as his great grandfather. Mr.. Day has had pos
session of the heirloom about two years. and
today he made his mother pleasant surprise,
by making her present of the valuable relic
of ancestral construction. 1t is in a splendid
state of preservation, and shows little more wear
than many similar piece of furniture made no
longer than ten years ago.
Mr.. Day has several other reminders of much
greater antiquity, fashioned in the times of royal
prerogative, under Henry VIII, or Elizabeth of
England. These are two spinning wheels, near
ly coeval with the first ones ever made, as we
read that these much famed implements of
household " hum were invented at Nuremburg
in 1890 A Queen Anne bedroom set having all
the ornate "reliefs . in pattern and carving pc
cullar to that age. These have escaped the
"'"oNo vi 'lillC III lellldIkdOle degree, ana OlQ
| fair to last till millenniums noon.
But the most curious specimen from the times
Of Inventions dawn, remains to be described.
1t consists of an oblong case of about 5x2H
feet dimensions. 1t is supplied with four oc-
tave keyboard, with hammers and strings which
respond to the touch in much the same tones OF
toy harp. An inscription on its front informs
the reader that twas made in Paris in 1872. II
is. in fact, one of the first pianos ever made and
the second or third brought to this country
Pianos were invented in IVA, but their manu-
facture did not commence until quite number
of years subsequent to that date, and this one
was among the first ever produced. 1t is relic
OF "ye olden tyne of rare and exceptional
value.

A Young Farmer Boy Found Dead in
the Woods Near Illinois City. An
Accident n ap0rted In Bowling.

A sensational report comes from Eig>
ingon and Buffalo Prairie townships.
Last Wednesday VIM. Fordham. who has
worked the past year for Chas. Wheaton.
a farmer in Buffalo Prairie township. but
whose postoffice is at Edgington. started
from his home at Illinois CITY on a rabbit
hunt, taking a double barrel shot gun
with him. Toward night. failing to re-
turn, search was instigated for him, but
he was not found until the next morning,
and then a CHASTITY find it was, his body
being discovered in the timber several
miles from the town, and the whole top
of his head was blown off. His gun was
missing and has not yet been found;
and this fact ground for the theory
of murder. The case has caused much
excitement in the country. The young
man was twenty years OF age and was
quiet and Industrious in his habits.
Word comes from Bowling township
also that young man named Clark while
rabbit hunting Yesterday was accidentally
shot. This may be an entirely different
case, aud it may have grown out of the
Edgington tragedy.
