Amrstotitwihk. Comedic rra"eatee. Mons. Paul .luignet lain night intrOduced.to a part of the Philadelphia Public, part Of his Freed] company of ,comedians. - The play was Seribe's Batdflle de Dames, and the stage that of the Amateurs' Drawing-Room, where the performance, with ita refinements and elegance:4, seemed to fit like a fair hand in an AlexattOre glove. In a largo theatre areat &al of this perfection would have been lost. The players were Madame MOrean' a fine handsome brune and a finished performer; Mademoiselle Maurice, a lady scarcely possessing the youth or looks proper to the part she assumed of a young in-• namorata; Monsieur Moreau, a satisthotory walking gentleman ; Rousseau the model of a French heavy father, who can i develop• on his l i round 'anti commonplace face an unexpected wealth of meaning and suggest ion, and Genet, another stout gentleman, who acted the ridi culous, overgrown lover with admirable sly feeling. -Of the little group of artists eollect ively,it.may be said, in contrast to our own comedians, that they can walk well, leave the stage Without strutting, ,sit in a chair as if unconscious of the audience, how as gentle man and ladies do how in drawing-rooms, and express humor without grimace. There is a scene in Scribe's play where the " Baron de Mmitrichard."—learning that the young pro . script whom he is seeking in a chateau at the head of the governmental dragoons, has es caped in valet's livery, leaving contemptu ously behind him the purse which he (the Baron) had offered, to corrupt him, in his sup paged servile condition,—expresses the utmost spite and rage towards the hostess of the chateau, the Countess d'Aureval. At this point M. Rous seau's round face becomes a study ; it twitches aN .over with mortification and fury, the breath is caught and expelled by jerks, and the eves seem to contract to a black and sparkh ng point ; yet there is no movement, no gesture, which could compromise good so ciety, and a spectator who could but see the totor, alone would feel that sonic high-born lady-must. be present to restrain the explo- Sion. The " Countess" (Mtne. MoreaM was played last night with equal repose and fell city: She has to Order anti scold her young - favorite, disguised as ;;a fOot man, before the company;' she bass to endure the anxiety of "his supposed flight to the .frontier; when he reappearS and the Baron surprises them, she has to conceal him with her skirts, and entertain the detective with persiflage ; when an amnesty is unex pectedly produced, she has to express the triumph without insolence, 'the victory in spired by hidden love, of a lady who has played a desperate game with au equally accom plished opponent, and won ; yet all was done with quietude and grace, without enough ex pression to disturb the lines of a handsome face, without vulgarity in elation or abjectness in despair. Thus, although the four or five artists present were not all of a high class, there was enough of perfected art to show our audiences and comedians how much may be done with a gesture, or inflection well applied, and how an authoes.faintest shade of meaning may be pointed and improved by the reader without apparent effort. French light comedy is a study by itself, and the hot-bed perfection of a school. A Bowery dramatist like Boucicault is forever pleading for a situation which will strip passions to their last expression, and tear away. the *Conventionalities oflife but scores of writers beside the industrious Scribe haVe shown what nicety of effect may be gained by concentrating. the fecuS upon a patch of realized life, and compelling the emotions to accuse themselves under the silken disguises of every day behavior. The company presented' by M. juignet are fully competent to give us an idea of this delicate efflorescence of art; and we should, like to see • thelittlC theatre crowded 'with ode comedians,' as Wellas' With the elect of society "stich were in attendance last night. The Butaille de:, Dgmes Was not the sole performanee last. evening .a string of little representatiouS, curiously arranged, trailed after it like the bobs beneath a kite of these some were good and some indifferent. Mine. Gucretti was. incom petent to give amusement with her comic song from Lcs Dragons de Trilbies: she swung through her role without vivacity, or voice, or comedy,. or looks. The violincellist, M. Alard;who played a charming morceau,was an impprement,and gave a fluent vocal quality to his instrumentation that was highly pleasing. M, Juignet himself terminated the perform mance with a genre ballad, Le Vieux Braronnier, sung with easy perfection, and 'revealing how much may be done without. extravagance in the declamation or quality in the voice ; the depth of expression given to some of the little phrases, by a wink or amovement,,when the phrase itself on re lie4lon Showed but, little originality, revealed the :trained artist. Altogether, these little .drattiatic afterthoughts, though not placed in. -the . most judicious arrangement, gave assertion to the various talent of the com pany. • The ,audience , seemed to approve them, for: they sat out - the whole medley in a body; without an instant's loss of interest.

Opera Rouse. BULLETIN. A BEAR 'RENT IN MOICTGOMER I7 COU NTY.—, Among other estimable gentlemen doing busi ness in Market street is ono whom we hero • designate as Mr. Blank. His acquaintances are to-day enjoying a joke at his expeuse. Mr. Blank, last summer, was taken with a fit of Bucolics. He • purchased a farm on the line of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, and undertook the conversion of a neglected thirty acres into an Arcadia inlwhich should blossom, as in Damascus, the almond and the rose. , He has been taking on accomplishments ever since his removal last August to the, lo cality in question. He is now an adept in pisciculture, and a theoretical expert in the science of grafting. He yet expects .to win the -much-coveted prize of the Paris Bettie d'llorticalture for the production of au ' azure rose. Among the buildings erected by. him sines his purchase was- a gothic hen-house. It is surmounted by a Turkish minaret. Its style of architecture is picturesquely composite. It is Stocked - with r !lanterns, dorkings, golden pheasants, Brahma poolitras, Poohtra, Wah ines, Cochin Chimis and Chittagongs. By the male persuasion of the latter - birds more noise is every morning made than is Made by the gong that summons his storkpeople to breakfast. Yesterday morning Mr. Blank was aroused from slumber by an alarming calcitration in the vicinity of his hen-house. Its feathered population were in an uproar that warranted him in arising from his - couch to ascertain the cause of the clutter. His opinion was• that some predatory darkey in the vicinity Was " cotchin' " his ('oehins. Mr. Blank seized his gun and rushed to secure the cooperation of a neighbor,whose villa is separatedfrom his own only , by a ten-acre field. In company with their respective gardeners and coach- men, these gentlemen reconnoitered the spoliated hen-house. - Upon the light snow surrounding it they observed very singular tracks. The tracks led to a belt of woods to the left of the farm. Mr. Blank expressed the opinion that they were the track.s,of a bear. He determined to follow' them, not , so much for the purpose of abating a four-footed nui sance in black fur as to perform a nimrodical exploit that should send a thrill of envy to the bosom of every sportsman in • Montgomery county. They followed the tracks for half an hour, Mr. Blank every moment more certain _of the identity of the game. They terminated at the foot of alit tree. Behind it was seated an old darkcy. Ho was engaged in disrobing of their pinruage three of the finest chickens in Mr. Blank's collection. The reason for the resem blance of the African's tracks to the tracks made by a bear was that the African was bare- , footed, and that his toes were frozen off while doing duty as cook upon a.canal boat lodged in the ice during the abruptly cold weather of the, winter of '57. • Mr. Blank was crestfallen at this discovery. B e didn't care for the loss of his chickens. What " riles" him is that his neighbor snread the story about the city, and that the gardener gave it publicity in the vicinity of its occur rence. He will probably now read up, not on the " Footsteps of the Celt," but upon the im pression made by the pedals of the hears. LOCAL CEOWPEIZ:—The operations of the sidewalk astronomer with his big telescope were interrupted this morning by a fall of snow, light . and feathery.

It is a disgrace to the city. • The business of Vine Street Ferry to Cairn"- den is rapidly increasing. What is true of this ferry iS true also of the one from Cooper's Point to Shackamaxon street. They give an opportunity to Jerseymen to bring their pro duce direct to the markets of their selection. To Girard avenue market .the Shaekamaxon Jerry is of rapidly increasing advantage. Added to the two ferries-from-Market street, and the one from South street, and the cost inunicati on with .Jersey is all that we can de sire until it cumes to us in the shape of a bridge. An oyster-schooner capsized, on the morn ing of the 2d, at the Horse, Shoe. The water men at Chester apprehend that, all on board welt: drowned, The schooner was in mid channel, with her boat still attached to her: Tnr DEED ENDING IN DE.yrn.—About a month ago we chronieled a daring, end. as yet, unavenged outrage. A little maid , in the family of one of the firm of Garvey Stevenson WSon, at 'Willow street and York Toad, was waylaid by a ruffian, while on her homeward way,about 7 o'clock in the evening. 'This - was at • the - corner of sixth and Brown streets. Ain= seized her. Ho threatened, first, to decapitate her with a razor that he drew from his pocket. He released'her after severing from her head her'ahundaut growth of hair. The child returned to the house of her employer in a 'condition almost of dementia. The shock - to it deli cate nervous • organization resulted fu a visitation of typhoid fever. , The tender er,t care was expended upon her. Her father is foreman of the firm above referred to. The solicitude of the latter concerning her was almost extreme. She died yesterday. The , authorities were applied to at the moment af ter the occurrence; but-nothing has resulted from what they, have dune. The miscreant very probably sold the Lair to some dealer in that line of business. Every person in that profession should now cudgel his recollection concerning the matter. Hite has purchasedthe growth of Lair of a girl of thirteen years of age, front any one whom he now suspects of hrocuring it in such a manner, let im seek out a sympathetic and fath erly detective like .Mr. Ben. Franklin, and aid the authorities in bringing to justice a wretch whose presence upon earth converts justice into a laughing stock. The case doesn't present the difficulties encountered in securing the capture of the unknown fiend who mur dered the little girl In Kensington a year or more ago. Let Chief Kelly try his hand at this job. Should he bei successful, every man, woman and child in Philadelphia will do hint honor.

Over awe* and a half millions of dollars have been expo; ded on the Road. Eighty-three miles are about completed and equipped, awl already show large earn ings : and the remainder of the line is rapidly progress leg toward completion . The State of lowa, through which this road runs, is ono of the richest agricultural aectlons in America. Its large population, extending with surprising rapidity. and its Immense yield of grain, pork, wool and other ag ricultural products, create a yr.:rains demand for the construction of this road, which affords the best possible guarantee for the bondholders, .especially as the line runs through the wealthiest and, most thickly populated section of the State. 771etoad also runt through the rich and crowing State of Minnesota. Reference to the map of the United States will show that it trarerses ,the most enterprising and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the great trunk lines in direct communication with Neut York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to thelatter city ninety miles nearer from Northern lowa and all por tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road now built or projected, and also the nearest route from Central and Southern lowa.
