Brown, an old citizen of Big Ivy, had a valuable hone in the stables of the Banner Ware house. About 9 o'clock at night Mr. Brown went out to see about his horse and found that he was not in the stall He searched for him several hours and again next morning, but could find no thing of him, and walked back home, a good distance for so aged a man. During Wednesday morning Mr. I. S. Wilcox found a loose horse near his stables, with only a halter on, but bearing evidence of bavinz been ridden hard, tie put him in his stables, and advertised the fact in the Citizen. Yesterday Mr. Brown, having seen the advertisement, came into town, recognized tbe horse as his, paid damages, and returned noma a nappier man. Tbe moral of this fact is that a sharp lookout should be placed on their horses at night by our citizens. The Buncombe County Stock Law in the Senate. The present status of the Jques- tion of the Buncombe county Stock Law before the State Senate is in the main as follows: The Committee on Propositions and Grievances, by a vote of 6 to a, (the latter being Terrell and Taylor, reps.,) reported adversely to the Pearson Repeal bill, H. B. 21, and on Monday of last week the question came before the Senate on second reading. In meantime a substitute was introduced amending in certain material points and denned lines the stock law bill passed two years ago. Both the Pearson bill and the substitute were referred back to the committee. On Wednesday this committee reported to the Senate advis ins the passace of the substitute. Messrs. Taylor and Terrell dissenting from the majority report. Up to yesterday the senate had not further considered the question, but the opinion of thosa ac quainted with legislation, and who know the sentiment of the Senate, be lieve the substitute will be adopted" over me repeal Din. The Citizen a few days since, re ferring to the efforts to relegate the State of North Carolina back to the "good old days of robber rule and good stealing," was made to say so ber rule and good standing.

The Farmers' Warehouse in this place sold during the past week 143, 371 lbs. of tobacco for $17,579. The sales on Thursday were 35,804 lbs. lor SdiJo.'Jb, or an average 15.0o. This surpasses anything ever done before in Asheville, and as all the warehouses had- splendid sales, it sustains our statement of a few days aeo that the sales on the Asheville market this year will largely exceed any for mer season, notwithstanding the shortness of the last crop. m. I The New Plan for Coast Defence. General bliendan explains bi length the plan for defending our coast with sunken forts from which the heaviest ordinance can be used with but little risk to the gunners, as the pieces are lowered under ground the moment after firing. There have been many designs for such defensive works, but the seria ous part of it is that it takes so long to construct them, and Congress is so slow in taking the proper steps. It is almost iarcical that such a great country should all this time be lying at the mercy ot any third-( class power that happens to possess even a second-class navy, and should take a fancy to make war on us. General Sheridan explains at length that he gets the idea ironi the un derground monitors he built on the plains to defend the stage stations before the racifac railroad was built: "and ever since the successful use c T those defensive pits," continued General Sheridan, "I have been op- nosed to putting up marks whicn can be fired at, such as iron turrets and heavy works generally, for these cost a great deal of money, and sim ply make targets for an enemy's artillery. The true way, I believe; is to conceal your guns and your men, for, what is important, this can be done cheaply and quickly." liich d (. Va.)

The performance last evening of Mrs. Burnett's charming play, "Esmeralda," proved a delight to the audience and won new laurels for the A she ville "Amateurs." The little drama bears especial signifi cance for all Western North Carolinians, having the scene laid "under the shadow ol old Baldy." The cast was as follows : The "Lydia Ann" of Mrs. Hcrrlck a role of much difficulty was most de lightfully vivid, portraying as it did "Mother's high spirit" with a fire and vigor which would have done credit to a professional of the Madison Square The atre, and which never faltered from the moment in which she separates her daughter from "Dave," whom she has "known so long," until the scene at the end where she utterly refuses to acknowl edge herself overcome and "always knew there was something wrong with the 'Marquis anyhow." Mr. Child, as "Old Man Rogers," gave a pathetic, simple and beautiful concep tion of a very beautiful and exceedingly difficult part" f"Tt would Tie hard to find anywhere an amateur to whom this role could have been as safely entrusted. "Esmeralda" (played by Miss Dora Newton) was a most perfect creation ; we we:e charmed with her on her first en trance "without the corn for supper," but our enthusiasm and that of the entire audience knew no bounds when in the 3rd act she defies her mother and vows to follow Dave "if it is on foot and I go a thousand miles." The tableau with which the act closes was x misi e, Es- mereioa, in her superb dress, falls full length, fainting, while the "Old Man," leaningover his darling, waves back Mrs. Rogers, and his voice, broken with erief. says: "Stand back, Lydia Ann, 'taint iur you to teen her now : seems like she's gone back to North Caliny in spite of ye." aoo mucn praise cannot be given Mr. Ernest Price for his rendition of the dou ble role, "Drew" and tho "Marquis." In the first he is the keen business man. in tent on making a "good bargain." In the second we find him completely trans- lormed into the unscrupulous, supercili ous manof the world. His French accent was remarkably well done and his acting throughout was polished, graceful and without a fault. The charming, easy nonchalance of Dr. Battle's ''Desmond" brought out the highest appreciation of the audience ; he was especially delightful in the dialogue with "Nora" in the third act. We hear rumors of other nerformancfiR to follow this : it is to be honed that in another play the Doctor will have a role of greater difficulty than the simple one of Jack, and therefore one more calcu lated to do justice to his very unusual talent. "Dave Hardy," (the lover') as DlaveH by Mr. Herbert Price, evinced careful sludy and a thorough understanding! of the part; he was exceedingly good in a solilogeny in the first act sttuipfo1 otfwW teyMtf $5 in the 19th Century do not make a prac tice of standing around talking in empha tic tones, with only themselves for aud ience, the little stage business of whittl ing the stick -and dropping in a moment of excitement was very effective. The Kate of Mrs. A. J. Lyman "took" re markably with the audience; her rendi tion of the role was spirited and bright, and she won enough applause to have thoroughly elated an "old stager." Mrs. Theodore Bewedick Lyman as "Nora" displayed talent in three scenes that with "Jack" in "Rogers'" drawing room, during tbe ball; with "Estabrook" in the same act, and the love scene with him in the closing act in the studio. We are compelled to state in all fairness of spirit that considering the former experi ence of Mrs. Lyman in this role, she by no means came np to our expectation of the way she should render it "Estabrook" (Mr. Gale) was easy, con sistent and delightful throughout the play. Mr. Gale is as entirely free from any affectations or "staginess" (a thing so distinctly objectionable in amateurs) as any amateur we have ever, or could wish to see. Mr. T. B. Lyman was stage manager and director, and the smoothness and freedom from mishaps (so painfully characteristic of amateur theatricals) with which the performance was produc ed, we beg to state was due to the 'man agement." The stage setting was all good the studio scene was wonderfully pretty, etc. we are requested by the "trjupe" to express many thanks to the Asheville Band, which formed no small part of the delightful evening for "Sweet Charity's" sake. i Meeting of llie Morrison Democrats. Washington, D.
