A Splendid Bill for Fair Week Those of our readers who attend the Fair at Woodstock next ' week, should make it a point to attend one of the entertainments to be given by the Woodstock Dramatic Association. On J'Wedtiesday and Thursday evenings, the &7th and 28th. they will present the beautiful Play of the '"The Lady of Lyons," with entire new Scenery, Cos- •tnines' &c., procured particularly for this occasion. This Association, com posed entirely ef home talent, stands second to no Amateur Organization in the State. The Play which they have I chosen for this occasion is one of pecu" liar interest, and has never failed to draw crowded houses wherever brought out. Below give the. STORY OF THE PLAT, In the year 1795 there resided in the quaint old city of Lyons in France h, wealthy family by the name of Deschap- nelies. The husband had amassed a large fortune as a silk manufacturer, and had passed through the early part of the Revolution without sustaining any noticable loss. Madame Desehap­ pelles, as is frequently tlie case, was the ruler of the house ; am? the success of her husband in amassing wealth had put into her head very high and aristo­ cratic notions far beyond her position, and certainly not in keeping.with the Republican spirit of the times. They had but one child. Pauline, a'girl of such surpassing and attrctive loveliness, that old and young--rich and poor---til iiaid homage to her as the, beauty of ,yons. For her. Madame Desehappelles was fully determined a brilliant mar­ riage should be brought about. It was true that the aristocracy of France had been cleared out. the Revolution had reduced every one to a common level, only one degree of rank was known, that of "citizen." but the designing mother conceived it to be possible to catch some foreign prince or nobleman who might be traveling incog.', no mat­ ter how it was to be brought about, nothing less than a prime was to pos­ sess the hand of the rich and beautiful Lady of Lyons. Amongst the numerous suitors, who had made an ofler of his heart and for­ tune, ayd hail been rejected, was a Mons* Beauseant, who, if his deceased father had not been deprived of his title, would have been a Marquis, but as he was not one. lie fell below Mad- iging back the letter which had « thrown at his feet, but n!so the ling news that he had been driven u the door with kicks and blows, shed and bewildered, Claude's every seems blasted, when lieatiseant's jr is brought in.

Er^fizied as lie is, he goes with the me&- =ei§ger and the compact is made. iv well contrived meaus, he is intro- into the family of the Deschaj>- the Prince of Como, traveling v, >, for fear of the Interference .lie Republican government, and bv presumed rank but real attraction accomplishments, very sbou secures thflo've of Pauline and the cou&ent of lief parents to a union. Ifis conduct, however, does not please Colonel Danias. a rough and ready soJ<lier, and cousin to Pauline; he suspects there is some deception, and to test him, addresses him in Italian, a winch Claude is unfortunately, not master of; he evades it as best he can, but only to convince the Colonel of the correctness of his suspicious, and he determines to insult him and force hiitt to tteht. With the infatuated mother and daughter, Claude Is more successful; they do not see any absolute reason why an Italian Prince Is bound to speak or understand his native tongue. Beauseant now claims from him the fulfillment of the bond; he hesitates. Beauseant points out to him. that Dam­ ns fMispects him. the police will be set to work, arrest will follow, li£ will be sent to jail as a swindler, and Pauline will'despise and execrate him. He consents and is left alone--Damas re­ turns, and insists, now that the ladies are not there, upon crossing swords with him. Excitedly, Claude accepts the bffcr, after a few passes disarms the Colonel, and generously returns hiin his sword. Delighted with his skill and gentlemanly bearing, the offi­ cer promises that if Claude should ever want 1»is assistance or friendship, be he a prince or not, he shall have it. Immediately, upon quitting Claude, Beauseant finds meaus to float a story that the republican authorities are looking after the prince; consequently an imnifMliate marriage is absolutely necessary; this is agreed to aud it takes place. By a strange chance, the carriage conveying Chiude and his bride to his mother's cottage, according to the bond with Beauseant, breaks down, near the Golden Lion Inn, and they are obliged to light and seek shelter there. They are exposed to the lialf-suppress- etl smiles and ridicule of the landlord tvhen Claude, seizing the contract, teai-s it irsfo pieces, at. the same time throwing to the merchant twice the proflered amount. Beauseant retires defeated and an­ gered; with the others all is happiness'. Claude has blotted the stain from his name and redeemed his honor; Pauline has regained her husband; the mer­ chant is restoree to his high positou; and even Madam Desehappelles admits; "A Colonel and a hero!

D. Smith's. his gre;it wealth. Iiis oiler was refused. It is at. this point the plav commences. Smarting severly under the indignity he considered he had suffered by re­ ceiving a refusal from a merchant's daughter, aud the ridicule he would be exposed to throughout the city when it became known, he resolves to be revell­ ed, to seek some plan to humble her pride severely; an opportunity soon pre­ sents itself. On journeying from Lyons to his chateau, hq meets with one of his friends M. Glavis, to whom, whilst bailing his horses at the Golden Lion Inn. a few miles from the city, he reveals all that has taken place and his intentiors. As he is doing so. he is interupted by loud shouts of "Long live the Prince." This .'rv of "Prince," when royalty and no­ bility no longer existed, astonishes him, anil he calls out. the landlord of the inn to give an explanation. Front this source he finds that the so called prince is the pride of the village-- Claude -Melnotte--the only son of a de­ ceased garduer. who had left him pretty well off, with a mother who doated upon him. Upon the father's death, a great change was observed in Claude, He threw up his trade, took to reading and studying much, hired a professor from Lyons, and soon became an accom­ plished scholar, a skillful fencer, a mu­ sician, and an artist. Handsome, strong, and brave, the lads of the village swore bv htm and the girls prayed for him. They called him "Prince"' because he Was at the head of them all. had a proud bearing, wore tine clot lies, aud, in fact, as they said, "looked like a prince." Beauseant further learned that it was reported and believed. Claude Melnotte was madly in love with the Beauty of Lyons---the seeds of the passion having been first planted when lie worked with his father in M. Des­ ehappelles'garden; aud that upon his fathers death, it was the ambitious hope of winning her that induced him to seek the education aud accomplish­ ments which lie had so successfully done. .It was believed, however, that the Beauty of Lyons had never seen him. to kuow of, or to encourage, his love. The idea at once strikes Beauseant that here are the meaus of revenge, lie will induce Claude to pass himself off as a foreign prince, traveling quietly for pleasure, provide him with money, jewels,horses, carriages, servants; in­ troduce him as such lo the Desehappelles family, make him propose to Pauline, and, by working upon the ambitious pride of her mother, bring about a marriage ; then strip him of his bor­ rowed plumes a«M.l crush the haughty beauty. Accordingly he sends a letter to Claude requesting him to come to the inn. After his success in winning the rifle prizes at the village festival, Claude returns to his mother-s cottage elated with joy, but his mind is still occupied with the one grand desire of his exist- istance--to be worthy to love Pauline. In vain does his loving mother point out the absurdity of his hopes. Useless --day and night he thinks and dreams of her; every morning he sends her the choicest flowers he can pick; lie has painted her image from memory ; nay. more, that morning he has gone to the fullest extent; he has set forth his wor­ ship in poetry, signed his own name, aud sent the verses to her by a trusty messenger. Alas! a fearful blow awaits hiin. Iiis messenger returns not only and t l ie more so. when Claude induces her to continue the journey on foot, us she believes him to be strange to the nlace : but the Climax is reached, and her agony intensified, when she is led into the humble dwellingof the Widow Melnotte. Light breaks upon her--the veil is lifted from her eyes: she has been de­ ceived--all is revealed--and In bitter language she reproaches him for his conduct. In a speech of most beautiful pathos and faultless construction, Claude pictures to her the story of his love, his hopts ami sufferings, and lays at her feet his husband's rights, declaring that a marriage so brought about is null and void, according to the laws of France--that under his aged mother's care, she shall, that night, sleep in peace and safety, and in the morning he will restore her to her father, pure and unsullied as he had received her. With broken-heart and favored brain he writes To M. Desehappelles, and iu the morning awaits patiently his ar­ rival. Beauseant takes the opportuni­ ty to call, to gloat over the misery he has created, and in the excitement of hi« triumph, goes so far as to insult Pauline, but the strong arm of her hus­ band hurls him off, aud lie retreats with threats of renewed vengeance. M. Desehappelles arrives, and Claude after a brief explanation, places in his hands a full confession of the fraud that has been practiced, and his con­ sent. to a divorce--that pure aud spot­ less he yields her back, and in a distant fand he*intends to mourn his sin, and pray for peace and forgiveness. Here comes forth a tine burst of maternal love; in sorrow or in guilt, the widow will not disown her son: for 110 di­ vorce can part them. This noble ̂ feel­ ing arouses the woman and the wife in Pauline, and throwing herself into Claude's arms, she implores him to take her to his besom. Iler parents threaten to discard and disinherit her --Claude is inexorable; he refusesfirm- ly. Colonel Damas is qharmed with iiis noble bearing, he tells him he is leaving that day to join the Army of Italy, and offers to take him. It is done; fame or death are before him; with a bitter struggle, Claude Melnotte sets out for the army. Two years and a half elapse. Time has worked changes with all. Mr. Des­ ehappelles has suffered such heavy re­ verses that he stands upon the brink of ruin. Beauseant. aware of this, offers to help him in return for Pauline's hand; to save her father from destruc­ tion she consent^to the marriage. Claude, under the assumed name of Morier, has passed safely through the champaign, and returns wealthy, renowned, and with the rank of Colonel. Damns learns of the intended marriage and he suggests that Claude, who, with his altered appearance, through hard service and change of dress, is not likely to be recognized, should be pres­ ent at the signing of the contract of marriage--to take a last farewell; to this he agrees. Damus introduces him as a most particular friend and as a bosom comrade of Claude. Pauline eagerly appeals to him to bear to CI a tide her undying love, and tells him of the reason that she is making the sacrifice of all earthly happiness. Beauseant produces the roll of notes he is ready to band over upon the signing of the contract. Pauliue is about to do so, OL'K I'HILADKLJ'HIA S^KTTElt rmt.ADKM'lUA, Sept. 6, 1878. The Centennial exhibition of animals has opened with a fair representation of horses and dogs, but the entries of both have been much smaller than was expected. Only America and Canada aie represented by horses, and out of about 220, America sends only 143, and nearly all. of over 300 dogs... The Ca- uadian horses consist, nearly altogether of English draft stallions, though there are a few trotters, runners, coach horses, and horses for agricultural pur­ poses, while the Americans exhibit consists nearly altogether of runners, trotters, and blooded stock though there are also several magnificent im­ ported draft stallions. The Canadian draft stallions are the finest ever seen, iu this country, and are perfect won­ ders of siie and beauty. Some of them have necks nearly as wide as their bodies are thick, aud heads as large as large sized kegs, while their manes and tails and amount of hair that grows down over and almost completely hide their hoofs, are very flue. Many of the grooms appear to judge of the value and blood of their liorscs by the amount of hair growing down over their feet, and one told me that, lie would not cut it off for #500. This great growth of hair over the feet makes theth look out of all proportion to the leg above, and gives the horse an odd appearance to the average Am­ erican, who is accustomed to seeing neatly trimmed fetlocks. Among the American exhibit the most noted horse is "Thomas Jefferson," "The Black Whirlwind of the East," who has a trotting record of 2.23. One of the most beautiful horses is a pure white stallion of Arabian breed, from the Sahara Desert. He is under the and beautifully formed animal that I have ever seen, and is as dainty and graceful in his movements as it is pos­ sible to imagine. Each morning the horses are brought out on the race track, that surrounds the Judges' pa- villion, for exercise and display, and when they are all iu motion, they pre­ sent a sight that must make a jockey's heart jump with joj\ The dog show will only continue to­ morrow, the time being made this short owing to the unwillingness of the owners of the poiuters and setters to leave them any longer, just at this time. Such a noisy, complaining set of dogs were never brought together. They dislike being chained up and left to themselves, aud so each one enters his protest against such treatment in the loudest whines and barks that they are capable of giving, aud as they pay no attention whatever to time or tune, their uproar exceeds all belief. The majority of them consist of hounds, setters and pointers. There are two blood-hound* of immense size, and judging from the way they .are muzzled and chalued, they are as fierce aud dangerous as they are large; several Newfoundland dogs and mastiffs of very large size; bulldogs, Irish Water Spaniels, Cockers, Springers, Black and Tans, Skye Terriers, Poodles, English Pugs, Spitz, Dasch-lmnds and many others. There are two bulldogs, whose heads are fearfully and wonderfully formed, and are so hideous that one wonders that a human being would keep such a brute around him, Judg­ ing from the brutish look of their keepers face, and the temper he dis­ plays when one asks him whether they are pure blooded, one Is tempted to think that he Is their full brother as well as keeper. The mastiff is con­ sidered the fiercest and most treacher­ ous of the dog family; Only America and England make any attempt at displays of full sets of fur. niture, and Amerioa is so infinitely f*r ahead that there is little real compari­ son between them. This great superi­ ority is owing to several things. The English have but very little; wood, while the Americans have all they want; the English knowing that they could scarcely hope to fget orders for £tht;ir furniture, have sent but little over; aud principally, from their utter ignorance of what the Americans make in this line, they did not send their best. Their surprise when they saw the American exhibit can scarcely be im­ agined. All of the American bed­ steads are made of wood, a«d of the most elegant and costly construction, while the English have uothiug but metal ones. In the American, exhibit there is a single bedstead that is made of Amaranth wood, that is fouud only iu Africa, and which is inlaid and orn# tnented with American walnut, ani which costs #12,000. The curtains, thai" hang frouj the cornice above the he a are made of and lined with satin, an % with their embroidery cost over $1.0 aloiie. Amaranth wood is of a reddistf color, and would readily be mistake# for cedar, but is not as fine to me arf' many of our native woods. One firrii' has a small parlor, library, dining, an^ bed room set, that together cost #7.5O0*r Another had a room set of only thre# pieces, costs §2,000, and a dining rooitt set of about half a dozen pieces al $2,500. Still another firm has two small adjoining spaces fitted up asa parloi1 and library. In the parlor the wallit ' are covered with a tapestry, that cost $16 a yard, instead of paper. Thtf wainscoating is made of walnut, and ., the mantle is aboui 14 feet high, autf consists of two large angels carved ou| of solid wdluut, who have their armtf folded, and are leaning, from op posit* sides against a frame in which is a mi* jolica bas relief likeness of Washington* Just below the angels, ar»d facing eac|| other, are two laughing faun heads, and half way between and slightly below these heads, is a head of Medus% with snakes around her neck. Aroun|| the fireplace is a band of majolica war«, and the fire irons are of an elegant d4K sign. This set is in the style of Loubl Xlil, and the mantle alone costs #2,00& In the library the walls are coverei| with painted leather, and there is all cliouy cabinet that took 30 cat vers § months to complete, and which cost§ $8,000. Taken as a whole, our furniturifc is one of the finest exhibits we hav4 and is as elegant in design and finish one can possibly desire. QUAD.

In reference Hsrfali^ Wn'riHslte^ul; ity as a lady's man, the colonel had re­ ceived the sodrlquet of'"The Queen1* Own," an appellation to which he was in 110 way averse, but always received with a grateful smile. Capt. De Rudio was an Italian, with a complicated po. litical history, full of plots aud intrigues condemnation to death, aud hair* breadth escapes from French and Italian despotism, His wife, a quiet English lady, interested us much; and it was altogether delightful to hear him descant on liberrte.

Mathey was a Frenchman. Taciturn Capt. Me Intosb, with a fad, expressive face and the rare intelligence, had a dash of In­ dian blood in his veins. The most representative American was, perhaps. Col. Tom Custer, in his bucksklu suit, broad-brimmed hat, and crimsou neck­ tie, with long, fluttering ends--gallant Col. Tohj, who possessed more medal* for rebel flags taken in our late war than any man in his department.-- [Lizz W. Cham prey in the Independant, g@TA light has been invented of a » Cjurious sort, which is very convenient tor occasional use, A three or foui* - ounce bottle is taken of clear glas»{ : into this is put a piece of phQsphorut about the size of a pea. The bottle is filled one-third full of boiled sweet oil, . and tightly corked. Whenever a light • is needed, the eork is drawn for % • momment, and fresh air let in, and then replaod tightly, Tho phosphorus^ coming iu contact with the fresh air, becomes luminous, and gives out about as much light as a common lamp. If it grows dim, the cork must be drawn and replaced. In cold weather the oil chills, and the bottle may need to be held in a warm hand, or put for a mo­ ment or two in a warm place before the cork is removed. It is said that one of these hottles will do service for six months. 93TA dispatch from Madrid, Spain, says William M« Tweed and iiis eousiu William Hunt have been arrested in Port Vigo, on board of the Spanish merchantman Carman, Tweed waa traveling under the name of Seeor* Both prisoners were lodged itt th% fortress, fgT'Ilaughty minded Chtef^go jroatfts refuse to be seen carrying home pack­ ages from their tailor-shops, but order them "sent around."And yet there was Benjamin Franklin (a fellow with as much brains as any of these youths) who used to wheel the paper used in,» his printing office through the Street^ on a wheelbarrow.
