Payne and other Holstein faaciers, is now con
graduating himself that he will hardly need
the light of the sun or moon, or any fuel except
gas. Messrs. Morgan. of Paris, are drilling for
water on the premises occupied by Mr. Baldwin
within ten feet of the back porch. They drove
a six inch iron casing to the depth of lao feet
before reaching rock. and not much water. At
the depth of 22O feet they struck oil and gas and
plenty of water. but the gas is so strong that
with near 200 feet of water above it interferes
with the drilling. The gas burns with brilIian-
cy. This is in the valley of the Ledges, and

The presentation of julius Caesar last Satur-
day night by Charles Hanford's Company. was
one of the best. There was not a weak charac-
ter in the cast. To one familiar with the historic
pen pictures of Ancient Rome and the verbal
delineation set forth in Shakespeare's Cesar"
the original scenes and actors in the great trag-
edy seemed a present reality. Charles Hanford
as Marc Antony. was q living reproduction of
immortal C@sar's avenger. His grief over the
dead body of the great conqueror was the master
passion of a strong mans heart. and the audi
ence saw before them the grandly touching spec
tacle of 1888 years age. when Marc Antony bowed
in tears over the foremost man of all the ages"
But he appeared in superlative grandeur in his
oration over Caesars lifeless FORM The sup
preston of his true feelings while in the presence
of Caesars slayers. the consummate cunning
with which he blinded all eyes to his real pur-
pose and daring, but those of the more cunning
Cassius, and obtained permission to pronounce
few simple words over his dead friend. were su-
perb dissemblings. But more wonderful was the
oration.- Every infection of the voice was a
tone of sincerity. and his final triumph in turn
ing the mob from savage horde. ready to fur
ther the plans of the conspirators. to a fierce
multitude eager for bloody carnival in revenge
of him who bat few minutes since they were
lmprecStlng IL tne 1uFy OF snelr ohnu rage was
not the result of sarcasm or scornful satire. but
of the sublime innuendo of words uttered with
apparent sincerity. He was called before the
curtain repeatedly by his admiring audience:
Equal praise belongs to Bennett Matlock. E.
R. Spencer. and Edward N. Hoyt. in their re-
spective characters of Brutus. assus and Caesar.
" The noblest Roman of them all " was inter-
preted in fullest meaning. and it is difficult to
imagine Cassius more subtle and far seeing than
the one of Saturday night. Caesar in his dignity
and personal majesty was ideally represented.
Particular mention should also be made of the
mob. who responded in dramatic perfection to
every play of the orators ON their feelings. ma
king the picture realistically complete.
1t was grand play grandIy presented. and the
Company is justly classed among the best on the
stage. They were greeted by fairly good house.

The R. A. Social given at their hall last
Thursday night was one of the most successful
of the many pleasant fraternal comminglings
given by the various Societies this season.
A very entertaining program was prepared.
The first number was a male quartet o Rest :
less Sea-, from Messrs Seymour, Lacey Bra
den and Olmstead. " Jerry and Me" was the
subject of a humorous recitation by Miss Peril
ma Marvin, who is right at home in elocutionary
comedies. Miss Gertrude Jones sang Yester-
night exceedingly well. Her voice has earned
her many compliments, and Thursday night her
rendition seemed particularly good. Miss Lot
tie Monsey recited well "The Liberty Bell"
subject of peculiar interest at the present time.
Miss Lena Walter being in Cleveland. the au-
dience were not in a position to insist on her
appearance in her solo. Day Dream"
A guitar duet from Masters Bob Braden and
Guy Curtiss, was very acceptable. The boys
played well. and were rightly rewarded with an
encore, TO which they responded later on, taking
the place of Canning & Reeds Italian Orches-
ira, which was unavoidably absent.
Miss Maud Chapman acted out to perfection
the scene described in her recitation "The
Man Who Laughed" She is always good. A
very pretty vocal duet was rendered by Misses
Nellie Rumbaugh and Olive Coe. This was
followed by recitation, 1.-THE Shadow on the
Blinds spoken with great naturalness of ex-
preston and superior articulation and infection
by Miss Jessie M. Russell. "A Deserter ="
formed the subject of a pathetically affecting
story told by Miss Ada Dronberger, with a
fidelity to the scene and sentiment that drew
tears from her audience. A. w. Olmstead sang
in musical bass solo, entitled Down by the
Sea-" Mr.. Olmstead has great capabilities in
his voice. Miss Perlina Marvin recited with
great effect, 1.-THE Casualty" The Glee Club.
composed of Warren Oakley, Reed Freeman,
Harry Dewey, Arthur Whitlock, Frank Elliott,
Ned Freeman, and Charles Augenbaugh con-
cluded the program, by bright. breezy and
delightful rendition of Blew, Bugle, Blow" :"
The boys sing in perfect unison and superio,
harmony. Their voices blend TO perfection.
They were twice encored and added new lau-
rels at each temperance.
The evenings festivities were concluded with
a dance that took peep into the early hours oi
Fridays morn.
