The meat market of Collett &

some time on Monday night and
about ten dollars worth of meat car-
ried away, also forty pounds of lard.
This is the third time during the past

ceive a warm reception if they will
only call again.

d—n him, I settle with him before
Saturday evening!” By whom the

lives in the Nation. The letter was
handed to Holford in the street by an
unknown party.
Mr. Theodore Tobin returned yes-
terday from Austin. Mr. Tobin had

has been the victim of a most cruel
persecution. Representatives Leon-
ard and Foster interested themselves
in behalf of the young man, and it
was undoubtedly owing to tlieii
efforts that he now enjots
his liberty. The father of the young
man has been taxed to an expense,

both have gathered excellent metro-

great actors, Mr. Robert’ McWade,
appears to-night at Nolan Hall in
his own version of Rip, and we hope
that he will be greeted by a crowded
house. Me Wade’s version is differ-
ent from Jefferson’s, so these who
have seen the latter need not remain
away for fear of seeing the same
play, for it is an entirely different
and far better play. To those who
have never seen Rip Van Winkle,
we will merely say, do not miss this
opportunity of witnessing a good
peiformance, for it will be the last of
the season.
Seats are selling rapidly, and we
would advise those who intend go-
