V--(f, ,1; , ' THE Dramatic Constellation, whieh gave "Uncle Tom's Cabin,** "East Lynne,** aj.d the "Two Orphans," at Riverside Hall, Thursday, Frjd;iy and Sa urday evening!? of last week, was a success in every particular, aud we haveno hesitation in pronouncing them, one and all,: the finest Dramatic Com­ pany now traveling. Each member is a Star. Time and spade will' not per­ mit us to speak of each part separately, and where s^ll did well, it is not necessary, but we cannot refrai a from mentioning a few of the leading parts. In "Uncle Tom's Cabin"* Mr. Stuart as "Uncle Tom," Mrs. Reed 88 **Tbp4y," and Mr. Hemlareon as "Lawyer Marks," each took their part in a manner equaled by few, aud excelled by uotie, stage?, scenery, and other conveniences taken in to .consideration. Jut he Play of the "Two Orphans," with whieh they closed their entertainment on ^SaMkt-- d*y evening,Mr. Reed, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Buck particularly distinguished themselves, while Miss Marion Deming aud Miss Maud Lafay­ ette, as the "Two Orphans" we,re sim­ ply grand. Miss Laflayettq is Almost a child, but ber acting is seldom equalled by those of mature years,-- Should she continue we predict she will yet be Queeu of the Stage. Takeif all in all, they are the best Dramatic Troupe we ever saw outside ef the city. A nd they are not only good players, but gentlemen and ladles in every sense ot the word. Wherever they may ge we take pleasure in recommending them to the public and the press as worth) of their patronage and support. We hope they will conclude to visit •gain at no distant day. .001 fl«|t to any Planter on short notice. out tor their new advertisement week. » ' LAST summer a large number of sheep wefe killed by dogs In this vicin­ ity, and we leapi that the depredatious have been again commenced. Persons who keep half starved dogs around them should be held responsible for damages done by them, the simple killing of the dog being a pbor recom­ pense for the loss of twenty- or thirty fiue rthcep. There are in this section many very vtjriuable hunting dojfs, but we do not believe any of .these depre­ dations can be laid at their door. Tbe mischief is done by miserable, worth­ less ours, that are of no oartfely use to their errors or any one else, and If they will persist in keeping tltem utauftd, should either ke«p them muz­ zled or be obliged to pay heavy for the damage* done by tiienu A.

J. YAK SLTKE, Sec'y. A1TORS ON A LARK. A very funny incident occurred here on Friday. Two gentlemen, Mr. Buck and Mr. Henderson, the comedians of tbe New York Constellation, after the arduous duties of rehearsal, thinking a sail on the placid river by the name of Fox. that glides in peaceful rlplets by our quiet little village, would be appro­ priate and beneficial, physically speak­ ing, proceeded to said river and at a boat house, that stands hard by the Riverside* Hotel, supplied thenpselves with ears and boat and mnh»»•*.-! i»gr l«ff. port, as it were, under flying colors. New any one acquainted with the nav­ igation of enf" river is well aware ef the easy access with which the bottom Is reached, and under these circumstan­ ces Mr. Buck, looked at things in a more serious light than his younger companion, Henderson, who, like alt y o u n g m e f t o f t h i s w o r l d , l i k e s f u n ; s o as their little boat glided dawn stream, the observed of all observers, they in­ dulged in singing sotigs appropriate to their calling, sucK as the "Larboard Watch," "Lone Fisherman," Ac., Ac. While In the midstof their hilarity, and when having a jolly good time in innocent pleasure, th«y suddenly be­ came aware that their boat bad struck a rock or some other cussed thing. Then says Mr. Buck, "I.told you so," and his hat was blown oft by a playful gust of wind and he becoming tei4or stricken hung on with both hands, his hair standing "like tbe quills of the fright- ened porcupine, my Lord," at the reckless behavior of his companion. Henderson, who was working like an old tar before the mast, was at a loss to know why the peskey thing did not go. But the beat took an idea, got its back up and spilled Its occupants into the raging deep. They gained the shore, glided unseen through the back deor of the Hotel wiser, wetter, Mid we hope, better men. P. S. We were fttrn!shed by Mr. Henderson with the particulars of the above accident, which are true In the main features, but have since inter­ viewed Mr. Buck, and he says that hd was a yearling with Noah in tlie Ark, and the present Henderson was an old man and gave him cakes and candies pm keep him quiet when Buck was a little boy. When the unfortunate old man Heuderson was struggling In the turbid waves of the Fox, young Buck was sitting on 4 rock, high and drj*. singing "Life fen the Ocean Wave." . uu--.--L~gs= IT^r. 5 - WOODSTOCK. EmTOR PLAIKDE ALRR i-- ANOTHER jf eek has passed and no burglaries to chronicle for our city. The principal events of the week are two School Elections, one for Town ship Trustees, and for District Direc­ tors. The latter as your correspondent is InfortnOd passtftf oft quietly and resulted In continuing the old Board. The former was closely and( rather un- derhandidly conducted on the part of some. As ietwefu the two opposing candidates there seemed to be no particular strife, as both *ere acknowl­ edged to be good men and true." But one was supposed to be pledged to continue the present School Treasurer, viz: John Bunker in olHue, while the other was supposed to be pledged to his removal aud the appointment of some other person. As to that person there was a division, even tn tbe ranks of Bunker's opponents, who was to be the lucky mail. In this fight the gist seems to be to on»t Bunker simply be­ cause It Is Bunker, and not because there is any pretence of malfeasance of misfeasance OR bis pnrt. It is g~r. erally admitted that in loaning the funds, which are subject to loan, he has been very obliging to that class who are unable to make loans of the regu­ lar money leaner, from the fact that not as large an amount Is needed as loaners insist in placing in one place-- always insisting upon good security but on(le&vQ!*l*tg to accommodate a class who most need such favors, whether friend or foe. Neither is there any tiretenoe that he is not obliging in paying Teachers their monthly wages and in cashing orders whether he has received proper funds from the tsx collector or not. If he kiiows the tax is levied and sure to be collected and paid in, he is accustomed to cash the orders and abide his time to' get It back, ^or Is It pretended that the fuuds are unsafe in his hands. If then, he is faithful and accommodating alike to all. often disobliging himself to oblige others, who can do more, and why tbe need, (the result having been a tie and neither candidate eligible 09 account of resideqiie) to put the Town to clue expense of a new election merely to gratify' the ambition of somebody that wants to get somebody's place. It seems to take a good deal of talk to get the dear people to see the point to the entire satisfaction of tho few real partisans lu this warfare, the people generally appearing ^tilte indifferent and of the apparent lielief that " what ever Is, is right,*' as long as there is no danger> that it many be wrong. Still the innate grumbler Is doomed to disappointment on account Of the weather. That terrible March Winter did not oorae *g he predicted, and April seems Inclined to stave it oft. He still Insists however that it must come If not till July. The prospect for fruit is fctlll good. Farmers seem happy* and business prospects 1q general ar$ more encouraging.
