jas>" Rouse's Star Combination Troupe
performed Uncle Tom's Cabin in the
Town Hall on Monday evening, and last
evening Ten Nights in a Barroom, to de
lighted audiences. There was at first a
disposition to hold back on the part of la
dies and others, but as all arc now satis
lied that this is no merecompany of strol
ling players, but well-behaved persons
and withal creditable performers on the
stage, crowded houses have followed their
first exhibition. Papers in towns where
they lately appeared speak highly of their
performances, as will be seen from the
following which we copy from the last
Bellefonte Press.
"Mr. House who, with his Combination Company,
has for some time past been ministering to the pleas
ure of our citizens, left on the early train '.ll Monday
last, for Hollidaysbttrg. where tie proposes to remain
for a time He met with such flattering success while
here, that he lias concluded to revisit "its during the
April Court, when under his supervision will take
place tii dedicatory services of Bush's new hall, now
almost completed. "He was well patronized here; and
in ret-Uin gave general satisfaction. The community
was very favorably impressed with the entire troupe,
its members being sober and gentlemanly without an
exception; and for this reason we hope that in Holli
daysourg they may meet with the success they de
serve. The audiences winch greeted them at this
place, were invariably large and respectable, and yet,
>. might be expected, there were—indeed a very fevw
who protested against it. and bemoaned what they
e-teemed tho demoralized condition of society. Their
were not urged ouly against this particular
troupe, but against theatre-going at any time 01- place,
in most cases the parties objecting were those who
knew practically next to nothing about theatres and
ii follows that their opinions should not he taken to
the exclusion of those whose observation has led
them to another conclusion. Still every man lias a
right to entertain an opinion for himself, and that
.•pinion, when honeftly indulged 111. is entitled to re
spect. It is said that we are to judge of the tree by
its fruits; and if this is so, what estimate shall we place
on the doings of this troupe! The tendencies of their
plays were in the right direction, since their object
was tiie inculcation ol sound morals, by showing that
punishment was sure to follow a vicious course of life
while on the other hand was portrayed the reward of
integrity, and the happiness attendant upon an up
right life. "Truth" we are told, "is stranger than
fiction," and lest some may think tiiat the benefits re
sulting to the community by the presence of this
troupe, were purely imaginary, we would beg leave to
eail their attention to the fact, that during the nine
the fompntiy was in town, there was less riotous eon
•iuct, and fewer exhibitions of drunkenness to be
seen, than iu any other two weeks of the past year.—
The play occupied the Attention until after U o'clock,
when it was too late to commence drinking, and con
sequently when the audience dispersed the people
went soberly home, as became good citizens, while in
the case of many otherwise disposed to drink, the
next day was spent in earning the price of admission
to the next play. The presence of the company was
ruinous tu the owners of billiard tables and saloons
Indeed we were informed by one saloon keeper in
town, that their stay cost him about fifty dollars; as
ordinarily lie took in from five to ten dollars each
evening while after their arrival he made nothing,
and in order to nave gas and fuel, closed his saloon
and attended the play. In short the troupe proved
itself a powerful ally of the Good Templar organiza
tion. and this being the case, who would not wish it
well."
GENERAL ROW. —A series of distur
bances, comprising smashups, fights, as
saults, &e., took place at Yeagertown on
Saturday night and Sunhay morning a
week, which will result in several suits,
such as gambling, selling liquor to minors,
riot, assault and battery, &c. Dike all
similar cases liquor was at the bottom of
the whole affair, affording another strong
argument for adopting some plan by
which the traffic can be restricted within
such limits as to preclude evasion of the
law. In the western end of town we also
hear of serious complaints made against
parties who were but recently before court
and escaped with lenient sentences, but
who, if these reports are true, have not
abated one jot or tittle of their former
practices or changed the character of their
visitors. We think the court would do
well, in all such eases in future, by chang
ing its practice of giving aininiipum sen
tence into the extent of the law , and per
haps a heavier raid on their jiockets an<l
a longer term in jail would bring those
who thus defy and contemn the law to
their senses.

The temperance petitions thus far for
warded to the Legislature, including a few
signed by "minors, sons and daughters of
citizens of Mifflin county," number from
1200 to 1500 names. The Good Templars
in this county now have seven Lodges,
and probably a thousand members, many
of whom are regaining health, strength,
and home peace and happiness.
Scarcely a week elapses in which some

the Gazette and Democrat.

At the Big Coffee Pot Sign.

Groceries. lie has coffee from 28 toßo cts.,
sugar from 10 to 16 cts. per lb., and syrup
from 10 to 30 cts. per quart. His fresh
mackerel and shad can't be beat; but the
latest and best, is his new Olive Chemi
cal washing soap, the best in market.
Fish.—The preservation of fish in our
rivers and streams is drawing public at
tention, and as it is in the spring, when
the majority of fish ascend streams for
the purpose of spawning, that their de
struction is accomplished, we would again
suggest the formation of a county associa
tion to enforce the laws. From this time
forward we may look for frequent viola
tions of the trout law, which cannot le
gally be fished for in any stream until
after the Ist April, and in the Kishaco
quillas until the loth April; and its posses
sion of such fish is evidence sufficient to
convict, violators can readily be punished.
It is also illegal to fish with a seine or set
or use any kind of a net in any of the
ereelcs of this county at any time, an act
which, if carried out for a few years,
would stock every creek, and again ren
der fish more plentiful in the river. Col.
Worrall, the Fish Commissioner, in
speaking of this subject, well says :
"Our law is, as far as I can see, suffi
ciently explicit in its provisions; but if
you want fish, those provisions must be
enforced, and their enforcement depends
upon the people. Piratical fishing must
be stopped. You can't "have your eake
and eat it," as the saying is.
If after the fish get up through our
fisttways, and deposit their spawn above
dams, and when the poor little shad fry
are making their way toLheseathey shall
be caught in fish baskets and sold by the
bushel, how are we ever to get shad back
into the river? Our law is sufficient to
prevent this now, if the people living
along the river will take the thing in hand
and prevent this wholesale murder.
Every justice of the peace has the pamph
let laws, and the law on the subject, ap
proved 80th of March, A. D. 1860, can be
referred to at any time.
If only' piratical fishing be stopped we
will eventually have our fish back —and
that can be stopped if our people will be
vigilant and do away with the murderous
fish baskets —which they can do under
our present law. Now I will give the
people due and timely notice that much
depends on themselves, if the plans we
have adopted prove such as to admit the
fish above Columbia."
The remarks relative to piratical fishing
will apply as well to trout, pike and other
fish in our smaller streams as to shad,
salmon, rock, perch, &c\, in the .Susque
hanna and Juniata.
