An old cow owned by Mrs. W. F.
Evans, of Plymouth, has caused the
estrangement of a number of families,
kept a justice of the peace busy for
some months past, and made a half
dozen lawyers richer. The cow first
caused trouble by entering the peach
orchard of Mrs. Eliza Hakes and de
vouring a number of peach trees. Mrs.
Bakes, it is alleged, beat the cow .villi a

burying ground the seuled motalic cas
ket. weighing over 7UO pounds, was

dollar to buy some tobacco.

In time to give a performance tonight,
consequently there will be no show at
the opera house this evening.

The successful comedy-drama, "Ten
nessee's Pardner," will appear here on
Wednesday evening. "Tennessee's Par
, dnor*' has been a recognized and estab
lished success, artistically and financial
ly, for the past three seasons. Before
the first act of this play is well under
way, the interest is fully aroused and
steadily increases as the play progresses.
L'he story is full of human interest and
has a healthy action. The guneral idea
is suggested by Bret Harte's famous
story and the characters have been se
lected from the array of typical crea
tions that have emanated from the brain
of that great American author. The
story is told in a clear, forcible manner,
the directness and strong contrast of
characters being especially noteworthy.
It is far hotter than the average play
built ou similar lines, for it is not
only strong dramatically but it is especi
ally interesting from a literary point of
view. The company is a powerful one
including the principal liiutnbers of the
original cast. The quartette will be
heard in new vocal character selec
tions, and the play will be staged with
now scenic effects and the most careful
attention to detail.
X t t
There was a gathering of minstrel
lovers that packed the opera house to the
door last night, that assembled to pay
court to Barlow and Wilson's Minstrels,
( as they appeared on their annual on
, gagenieut. The performance consisted
entirely of modern minstrel attractions.
The people found them leaders by
several lengths. The performance
abounds in a continual stage of hilarity,
the hit of the evening being made by
"the Great Barlow and Wilson." The
vocal numbers are gems of the first
water. The company Is far superior to
the usual standard attraction.—Cinciu
