The work of shooting dogs and cats In Plymouth township to prevent the spread of smallpox continues. Quite a number were shot by the quarantine officers on Saturday. For the first time on Friday last a number of constable and special officers, armed with guns, went forth early to slaughter. The officers had been practicing at marks for some time and it was predict ed that when they shot It would bo to kill. But owners of dogs and cats had been warned of the coining raid and they kept their pets well housed. People are complaining of the careless manner in which many of the officers on duty handle the guns they are provided with to shoot. One or to of the shooters went beyond their orders and shot into back yard at the animals. This was rather dangerous business, as several residents came near being shot. A bullet passed through the bonnet of an old woman who was hang ing out wushing. A tenant in a house rented by Squire Philip Walters com plained of a man shooting the glass out of his front window. This morning a man coining down Centre avenue was shot iu tho heel, and later a full load of buckshot was discharged through the French window of the house occupied by tho family of Noah Lewis.

Curapboll,Directors. 3. W. Gungwere, ) THEATRICAL "The Fast Mall," which appears at the Grand this evening, is said to bo the most successful railroad and scenic melodrama on the road this season. L. J. Carter, the author and manager, has com rived to weave into a consistent story nearly all the good points of the sen sational drama. The climax of each act is strong enough to sustain a whole play; yet so well graded are tho features of the piece that one views with Increas ing interest through the live acts the murder and tho clever trick with the Grandfather's Clock, iu tho first act; the Mississippi river steamer, its engine room showing & practical furnace, and the explosion with "complete change of scene behind a curtain of rising smoke." in the rear of which is seen the wreck, as the curtain falls on tho second act; the full size freight train, wiffh its real istic engine and fourteen box cars, with their familiar lettering, followed at the close of the third act by the Fast Mail: and thrilling incidents and hair-breadth escapes which take place there; and finally, the full frint view of Niagara Falls, as seen from the centre of Suspen sion Bridge, upon which the curtain de cends. t t t Denman Thomspon's "Our New Min ister" will bo given hero for a return date tomorrow evening. Its success on its first presentation here a few weeks ago led Manager McMenamin to book it at once for an early reappearance. " Our New Minister" is a groat play, the greatest ever given to tho stage, for critics everywhere pronounce It better than "Old Homestead." It pulses with that which is simple and gentle and nearest and dearest to one's heart. Ii is a play that parents will enjoy bring ing their childron to see, and profit by. It first came to Freeland modestly ad vertised, modestly announced, there was no flourish, no great promise, and the pleasure it gave all who witnessed it was all the more enjoyable because of its moderate expectations. A sparkling stream of Yankee huuior runs through out tho play that wins an audience ut the start. The same excellent company will be seen. X X t "A Trip to Buffalo" Company gave a fine performance on Friday evening, and the large audience enjoyed the excellent musical program. The com pany was all that it had been represent ed to be, but through an unfortunate accident the play was marred by the cold. Both the audience and the actors were chilled, as the steaiu-heating pipes bursted at several points shortly before the house was opened.

Con Carbou, of Wilkesbarre, and Con Me- Anllfte, a New York piper, created much amusement. ROUND THE REGION.
