Rop.RoY To-NIGHr. We would direct es-
neeal attention to the attractions at the
theatre this evening" Professor Anderson
returns to us for one night only, to make bis
last appearance, and in doing so is TO assume
a double character and perform in three dis
tinct parts First of all there is to be an
Hour Of Magic" in which he is to play the
Magician. All who have already seen him
in that character will vouch for mis- prohcien'
cy. He promises to treat us with some OF
his best tricks After the necromancy we
are to be presented with Scottish drama and
to have Rob-Roy rendered in a new way
Mr. Anderson playing not only the robber-
hero, but also the cautious magistrate of the
city-Quaint old Ballie Nicol Jarvie. 1t IS
matter of surprise to us how this is to be
accomplished Rob-Roy has to talk to the
Baillie in the play; both have to be on the
stage at the same time, and the dress of one
ia very different from the other. "IIow
then'-to quote the words with which Mr.
Anderson commences his own mystical enter
tainment-"will he accomplish this seeming
ly impossible task? ?" Well that is precisely
what we wish to learn, and We suppose many
Others will anxiously enaeavor to learn by
visiting the theatre onight.


We believe from what we have been told
that great treat is in store. Mr.. Robertson
who is to assume the part Of the wild "Dougal
Creature" is said to be an amateur Scottish
actor of great promise. Miss Louisa Ander
son emulates, we believe. the dual skill of her
father in playing the two parts Of HELEN
Macgregor ard Diana Vernon, while Mr.. j.
II. Anderson Jr., is to pers6nate Captain
Thornton Considering that Mr. Anderson
has produced the play in nearly all the thea
ters of the world and performed the principal
characters more than a thousand times we
may prophecy that what is done will be done
we'll At the Bay Mr.. Andersons Rob Roy
made a sensation, and we have no doubt that
it will do the same here We would back up
the monition in the advertisement and advise
early application for seats at the Office


FouND DEAD.-A man was discovered, yes
terday, lying dead in well at the corner Of
9th and b streets, near Eckers brewery. lie
was discovered by persons who were cleaning
out the WELL An effort was made to draw
him up by means Of a rope let down and
noosed over one of his legs, but the body was
too much deeomposed to admit ofthis process.


We saw the Coroner in the middle Of the
forenoon, and he was then arranging some
means to get him out He thought the man
had been dead for at least four weeks.


P. S.-The body was finally gotten out by
means of a rope slipped over barrel at the
bottom Of the well, upon the top of which
the corpse was lying. The Coroner discov-
cred that the man had been, as well as he
could Judge, shot in tie back, and cut with
a sharp instrument about the head. He had
evidently been murdered and thrown into
the well The task of removing the body
and burying it was trying in the extreme


1t is conieetured by some that the man was
a Frenchman and by others German, the
one rag-picker and the other a laborer, but
nothing is definitely known.


Deceased was about fve feet eight inches
in height, had black hair and very heavy
black whiskers, had on black neckerehief,
woolen shirt. heavy pea jacket, nankeen
pants and overalls over them. A leather
belt was about his waist, and he had on blue
wooden socks and heavy boots with his pants
stuffed into them. The well was about 90
feet deep.
