Miss Preston, Miss Smith, mid Mrs. Bos-worth are very well, but lack animation a little. Of the gentlemen, Mr. Alba ugh, Mr. Bis!iop, Mr. DeGroot, Mr. Dalton, aild Mr. ketehum, are particularly worthy of commendation. Bishop’s appearance is always the signal for laughter. He excels in comedy, and as Mel ter Moss in the Ticket-of-Leave-Man, he cannot easily be surpassed. Mr. Ketehum is very versatile. His part always suits him, and—what is more—the audience.

Charley Gill and Koht Baird, on the charge of iersistent attempts to set fire to the building in which their office is located, has caused a good deal of talk about town. To suppose that they intended to burn up their property to profit in any way is absurd, ami it is equally improbable to suppose that they had any malicious desire to destroy the property of others.It is most likely that having,in a pro-ii\tct1(tnlonged drunken spree exhausted other mode of excitement, they sought a new one in setting fire to the house in which their own property would le destroyed, with, that of others. This is my theory, based on the assumption tluit Col. Gill and Mr. Baird are guilty of the facts charged, which yet remain to be proved.Yours, JoiiK1 ' v f ■ ‘ ■ j-r, _ ___LETTER FROM HARKISOX CO IT XTY.Briixjkport, »September 27, 1871.To the Editor* of the Standard:I purpose sending you a few of the most interesting items hereabouts, as you lupre Cltiite a- number of readers In this community, who like to hear something, occasionally, of themselves and their affairs.The majority of our citizens are true blue Democrats, who hpve fceen tried anti not found wanting.

After sober , £ reflection, we have learned that the! lt;1 object we took for a volcano is the new i e rolling mill witli its {minted iron roof; I the smell of brimstone arose from the o decomposition of oak bark at the ship- h yard. The obstruction on legs was the ' £ trestle work of the Air-line road; and the p timbers were placed across the street for ° walk-logs.
