AS THE CROWDS COME OUT.

In 1.-The Sign of the Cross" Mr.. Wilson
has created four good Marcus
Superbus, played by himself; Glabrio, Mr..
Ambrose Manning; Berenice, by Miss Hoff-
man, and Mercia, by Miss Maud Jerfries.
In these four characters there are two
powerful contrasts-the epicurean Glabrio
with the thoughtful and philosophic Mar
Gus. and the typical Roman patrcian of the
age of Nero, Berenice, with Mercia,
type, both of beauty of person and char
acter, of the early Christians.
These contrasts are powerfully sugges-
tive all through the play, and the Individual
conception and action is highly artistic
The moral OF the story is the sublime one of
death for principle. The scenery and
cOstuming are classic to a degree.

promise OF an unusually successful run.
MascaEni's "CavaIleria Rusticana" and

fractions last night, and their rendition
by the efficient company which Mr.. Hin

Our Shookstown correspondent, in
writing about the new road which is
petitioned for to commence at the inlet
known AS the Kemp farm, near the

says:
"rhe road is needed very badly and
would be of the greatest benefit to both
sections, as the public road Of it he
worthy of such u nane) that leads
from Rocky Springs, along the foot of
the mountain to the road that passes
through this place, is not fit for trav-
elling at all. Some may ask the reason
why; to which we would answer: In
the first place, it is crooked road,
leading along the fences Of fields, upon
which The stone aud rul bish therefrOm
are continually dumped; secondly, the
road is not inclosed aud has no regular
bed, but people generally drive where
they think they eau keep from upset
ting; thirdly, it is continued bed of
rough. unbr0ken stone, up one steep
hill and down another, where the
heavy rains of the summer wash ugly
cutters and tear away all this soil,
which goes to make u good road. Ac-
cordingly, it IS only used by those per-
sons living adj icent, who, of course,
have no better way of reaching their
homes. This is the model road that a
few opponents set forth as "all the road
that is needed" We are glad that your
correspondent of RIcSy Springs has
come to our aid in behalf of this prodi-
gy, as his writings of the present aud
those of year ago are quite u contrast.
1t would be a great benefit to all, aud IL
our Commissioners would only insl ect
it, am certain their ideas would De

Why shall whole community be
deprived of so great benefit IN order
to satisfy the notions Of u few? AS the
road will pass through level aud
beautiful section, there would be but
little trouble given to grade 1t, and
moreover, as the quarter part of it is
already enclosed by good fences and
well kept private lane, there would
only Ire a small portion to build and
prepare for use. AS our people all are
in favor of it, Mr.. Levi Wolfe has
taken the time to produce petition
with well filed list of our farmers
names who want the road. We think
that our worthy commissioners would
be doing a great Injustice not to con-
