The music is by Reginald de Kovens, aud the libretto by Harry B. Smith. The opera was written to display the strength of the McCaull foroes. the several companies of the management having now boon united Into one or­ ganization, unequalled In its array of principles and Its strength of ensem­ ble. Two popular artists are added to titoso who appeared in Bellman-- Madame Mathllde Cottrelly and Digby Bell.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--I hate seen nothing In your paper concerning the death of Esquire Brown, of Hebron, and feeling that something should be done In this direction, I will endeavor to supply the omission as well as I can. Samuel Brown was born In the town of Raymond, New Hampshire, In the year 1811. He came west In 1848 and settled on Hebron Prairie on i~1ie farm which he occupied at the lime of hie death. He was tho father of four children--three boys and one girl. Two of the 8306 aud the daughter went West some years ago, where they still live. The sous returned to attend the fuueral, but the daughter oould not come. A large number ol his neighbors were present at the funeral; the services being oonducted at his house. Mr. Brown was a highly respected cltlseti of his town. He held tho of­ fice of justice of the peace foe many years. He aho held the office of Su­ pervisor of his town for a number ol terms. He was regarded as an excel­ lent man by all who knew him, and will long be remembered by the peo­ ple of Hebron as one of their most honored citizens. So the "Old Settlers" of our county are passing away, oue after another. They will soon be gone.
