May, June and Aug ust always begin on different days from each other and every other month in the year. The first and last days of the year are always the same.

"Is it fifty feet." A. "Oh. no! it isn't over twenty feet. ' Q. Then you think it is about twenty feet?" A. "Yes, sir." According to a careful calculation of an observant attorney, fort}-seven witnesses out of fifty will get off that chestnut, ' I neyer measured it" and imagine they are say something that fairly sparkles with original wit. —Ex.

Next week, beginning Monday, Feb, 27th., will see the greatest production at the Grand Opera House that has beeu there this season. It will be that of Bronson Howard's "Aristocracy,'' and it is intended to be something that will go down in theatrical annals as an extraordinary effort crowned with tri umph. "Aristocracy" is a great soci ety play, that satirizes keenly and deli cately the foibles of fashionable people on both sides of the Atlantic. When it was fiist produced, society held its breath in amazement that a dramatist could be so audacious. He showed that gills are sold in the marriage mar ket as uncomprisingly as art beautiful Circassian slayes in the bazars of the Orient. He handled other features of aristocratic life in the same free and effectiye way. and consequently every one went to see the play The full strength of the Grand Company will be enlisted in the cast. The scenery will comprise three magnificent sets, all in teriors. The first, a California mil lionaire's residence in cream and gold; the second, a baronial hall in massive Oak, and the third a ball room on Fifth Avenue, New York,, in green and gold. In each of these scenes the furniture will match, and will be of the most e* pensive and aristic description. The vaudeville at the Grand will be very strong next week. It will in clude The Paijtzer Brothers, wonder ful head balancers, acrobats, and musi cians; tiertie Cochran, the nipntal marvel of the country: Rauiza and Ar no, eccentric acrobatic comedians; Keno and welch, in a burlesque trapeze act and other gymnastic eccentricities; William Rowe ; pedestal clog dancer; the old favorite. ('lj;;rles Diamond, with his harp, assisted by Miss Bea trice, soprano Saxaphone soloist, and many others.

The plaintiffs claimed that their property as a whole had been largely depreciated in the mar ket value by the construction of the railroad, and viewers assessed their damages at if 17,831. From this the rail road company appealed and a jury in the Common Pleas court awarded the plaintiffs $18,625 as damages.
