Timber agents, saw mill owners and
others are frequently annoyedand put t
considerable trouble by petty thieves
who steal pieces of rope from timber
rafts. On several occasions sticks of tim
ber have been set adrift by some thief
who would steal the rope with which it
was tied. We have heard of an instance
where a piece of rope was stolen at night
and sold to the rightful owners in the
morning. The theft of rope from rafts is
not at all uncommon and is a source of
serious annoyance to dealers in timber.

The "City Park" was brilliantly illu
mioated last evening about 7 o'clock. A
mammoth canopy had been erected and
from the centre-pole, which ran throrgh
tho tent, a beautiful flag was flfiog to
the breeze The orator far the occas'ou
was about to opn his address, .when tbe
lights were turned full on and the band
commenced to play. The brilliancy lasU
ed only for a minute or two, aa tho. boys
commenced to "throw dirt," and tho ora

tho first .to say that the naphtha lamp,
under the lawa tent, which has been used
for a week past by an itinerant pedlar,
exploded and Mike Peden's gang com

Everybody has heard of "Humpty
Dumpty;" that is, everybody who is any
body in a theatrical way. The public
needs no introduction to its eccentric in
mates. Rial's company is a strong one,
and a large audience may be looked for.
An exchange says:
The everlasting "Humpty Dumpty'.'
was produced again last evening to a de
lighted audience by Jay Rial'scombinV
tion. The specialty acts introduced by
this company are specially worthy of
commendation. Among them may be
mentioned the performances of Rel
Mueab, the fire caterr Punch Walton,
the English comique and cornet eoleist,
and the London dog circus. Walton was
recalled again and again for his solos, and
the performances of the dogs excited
much wonderment and applause. The
dog circus is a whole entertainment by
itself.
