evening, Nov. 1G, presenting here for
the first time a new musical comedy by
james Koran entitled "Tenderloin
Coon The comedy is not only different
from the ordinary burlesque in that it re-
quires an entire evening but it surpasses
many of he comic operas both in its music
and ms llbretto. The company shows al
the spirit inseparable from the work of the
negro combinations, without any of the
crudeness generally noted in such perform
ances, while exceptional stage management
has made both principals and chorus I'M
usually effective. During the action of tn,
farce number of laughable novelties ant

Buildings Burnsd at Marlboro.

The attention of many Brattleboro peo-
pie was attracted TO the western sky about
$3.50 o'clock last Saturday night by It's un-
usual brightness, and IL was soon evident
that fire was in progress. Melvin Dal-
rymple, a farmer and cream gatherer, re-
turned to his house short distance south
of the village of Marlboro about O'clock,
having been away after a load of -four and
other articles. He left his lantern in the
separator room of his creamery, which was
in the l. of the house, and went TO the main
part of the house TO unload the -four On
his return he found the building was on
FIRE. The wind carried the flames from
the house TO the barn, in which was
large quantity OF produce and several head
of stock. In from three to four hours the
buildings were entirely destroyed Some
furniture was saved, also most of the
stock, but between 80 and 40 hens and
ore or more hogs were burned. The total
valuation of the property destroyed was
about $500 The property was insured
for $500 through the agency of G. + R.
JENNIE The cause of the fire is not def
nitely known, but it is supposed that the
lantern exploded.
