EDWIN FORREST.. .. .
'11q great tragedian is no inore.
He died suddenly yesterday morning
at his residence in Philadelphia, of
apoplexy.
Edwin Forrest was about sixty-six
years of age. .- He was the last of the
CTcat muscular school of actors and
was a sort of connecting link between
Kean and Kemble and oar own Booth
and Feohter., ' His principal roles were
"Lear," u Richelieu," " Spartacus,"
"Hamlet," "Damon," and "Meta
raora," thongh he J was distinguished
in many others. "In the ; great char
acter of " Lear ho was monarch of
the stage. f. :f ..
Forrest was in onr city in October,
1870, for three evenings, 'when he
presented to fine houses his admirable
conceptions of "King Lear," "Da
mon" and "Richelieu.".
Edwin Forrest obtained a wide
celebrity by the proceedings in the
case of divorce from his wife.
Forrest was one of the greatest of
the old school. It is questionable
whether the later realistic acting has
elevated the tone and esprit of the
greater drama, suice what is proba
bly gained in spiritual grace does not
compensate for. the loss of intense
idealization and magnificent physical
effect. ' . ' ' . .
Forrest has said that there was no
high acting in this country. ,
A PROPER 1IOVE.

House of Representatives, at Raleigh,
a bill for the rribre effectual security
of life and property on railroads.

' At the regular annual meeting of the
Company at their office in this city, yester
day morn-ing, J. Eli Gregg, Esq., was called
to the Chair, and Donald McRac, Esq., re
quested to act as Secretary.
M. Cronly, Esq., was appointed, -with
the Secretary, to ascertain the amount of
stock represented, and, on examination, re
ported 5C1 shares in person present, and
1,912 by proxy; which being a majority of
the stock, the meeting was declared duly
organized for the transaction of business.
The Treasurer submitted the account cur
rent and other accounts of the Company,
which show a highly satisfactory condition
of its affairs.
The following Directors were re-elected
for the ensuing year: Hon. R R Bridgers,
F. W. Kerchncr, J. Eli Gregg, Edw'd Kid
der, Walter E. Lawton, John C. Grafflin,
Winfield S. Dunan.
Messrs. Edward Kidder and F. W. Kerch

At a meeting of the Directors held the
same day, Hon. R R Bridgers was unani
mously re-elected President; Dopald Mc
Rac, Secretary and Treasurer; Col. C. L.
Grafflin, Superintendent; Walter G. Mc
Rae, Book-keeper; and Messrs. R R
Bridgers, Edw'd Kidder and F. W. Kerch

A dividend of 10 per cent on the capital,
stock was declared fpaj'able on the 1st
day of January, 1873.
It was also resolved that notwithstanding
the enhanced cost of labor, fuel and sup
plies, the prices of the fertilizers manufac
tured by the Company should remain he
same as last year.
A (iood Plan.
The Committee on Library and Rooms
of the Young Men's Christian Association
have adopted a very simple and effectual
plan for keeping the rooms open for visitors
and members each evening of the week.
The plan is this: On the first of the month
the chairman of the committee takes the
namof fifteen members in rotation as
Ihcy appear on the books and sends each
one a nonce ma jh hums w mm wi wjr
Ing open the room are on such evenings,
specifying the date of two days that month.
By this method the same duty is performed
alike by every member and is so light (no
member being on duty more than two
nights in several months) that it is not op
pressive and the rooms are thus regularly
opened, with a member in charge to enter
tain visitors, &c, the expense of employing
some one for that purpose being thus saved
to the institution. ' ; , r

the flames were soon extinguished. The

The Katie
Pntnara Tronpe
East
Lynne.
We had no desire to see Miss Putnam in
East Lynne; we thought it a sad misappli
cation of the talents of a charming actress
to assign to her a character which is simply
odious, in a play, which, if critical judg
ment were respected, would have been
driven from the stage at the moment of its
first appearance. But East Lynne, bad as
it is in moral, and bungling as it is in exe
cution, is popular; the public wanted to see
it, 'and Mr. Browne wisely determined to
give the public the privilege of selecting its
own dramatic pabulum.
Nearly twelve months since we expressed
ourselves upon the merits of East Lynne as
follows:
" Jndged by all the canons of criticism;
it is an exceedingly weak and inartistic play,
in fact a wretched dramatization of a very
badly-written and extravagantly improb
able novel, with a moral which, if not fla
grantly meretricious, is certainly not whole
some. Mrs. Wood, the author, is a prolific
writer of trashy novels, of which, as a
whole.it is sufficient to say that they are
neither better nor worse than JMa Lynne
. . . .In the novel, as in the olav. the argu
ment is altogether improbable, if not wholly
I 2 J 3 . 1 , . . T
m uenance oi numan msuncis ana experi
ence, and the moral challenges all the con
demnation which is usually accorded to
those phases ot sensational fiction which
.are usually
characterized as 4 question-
able.'"
This is still our opinion of East Lynne,
though we confess that Miss Katie Putnam's
personation of Lady Isabel has somewhat
diminished our previously uncompromising
dislike of that character in particular. Miss
Putnam's energy and spirit indeed redeem
the inane stupidity of the piece in many of
its passages, and in the earlier incidents of
Lady IsabeTt married life, her fresh, girlish
and sweetheart-like tone redeems the play
from much of the sickening, mawkish, stuff
which is given ad nauseam by the average
Lady Isabel. For the first time, too, we have
seen Lady Isabel rendered without even a
hint of coarseness, despite the crop of un
wholesome suggestions which East Lynne
produces. It would be easy to indicate
many meritorious features in Miss Putnam's
Lady Isabel, but we prefer to cherish recol
lections of her in those more agreeable and
worthy assumptions in which she has so
won the heart of Wilmington. We pre
fer to remember charming Little iTfSand
the busy, bustling Marchioness; we can al
ways recall with rare pleasure the beautiful
dramatic vision of Meg and that romping,
hoydenish, Little Rebel.
Mr. Browne gave us a very effective Sir
Francis Levison. In this young actor there
is a vein of originality, which has impressed
us by its manifestations in all his assump
tions. His characterizations are all his own,
it is very evident, and the courage which
prompts him to turn his back in many in
stances upon hackneyed stage convention
alisms is amply rewarded by his success.
Especially is his Levison free from stagey
affectations and fopperies. Mr. Browne's
Levison is simply the smooth dissembler, the
society serpent, who does his infernal work
under the efficient concealment of the garb
of culture and gentility. We are very anx
ious to see Mr. Browne play Harry Hawks-
ley, a character inwhich we should think
him likely to prove very effective,
Mr. Gaston gave a faithful and creditable
assumption of Archibald Cariyle, and Mrs.
Nash was simply "Miss Corny" in propria
persona.
The performance " concluded with the
a
Lavghing Hyena, a specialty of Mr. Ryan's,
in which that excellent actor was - exceed
ingly funny.

Probable Terrible Disaster Five Bleu
Sapposod. to Be Drowned.
By an arrival from Smithville yesterday
evening we have intelligence of a probable
sad calamity to a number of citizens of that
place. Our informant states that Joseph
Bensel, Thomas W. Brinkman, Jno. Trout,;
Robert St George and James SeHars, pilots
of that place, left Smithville yesterday ,
morning to board twa or three vessels which
they had sighted through a spy glass from
Bald Head Light-house a short time before.
A gale of wind was blowing at the time,
and as the vessels were some distance out
side some of the friends of the parties, who
felt some anxiety as to their safety, watched
their progress until they had got well out at
sea, and only the sail of their boat could be
discerned, when it suddenly disappeared.
As the boat and crew have not since
been seen or heard of, up to yester
day afternoon, the general supposition is
that the boat was swamped and the five
men were drowned. The steam-tug Alpha
cruised in the vicinity of the point where
they' were last seen yesterday afternoon,
but could discover no trace of them. Two
of the vessels which they started to board
arrived last night, and upon inquiry it was
ascertained that those on board had seen
nothing of the -missing boat There was
one other vessel in the offing at the time,
and there is a bare possibility that the men
may be on her, but it is not considered at
all probable. Messrs. Bensel and Brink
man are men of families, while the other
three are young men and unmarried. We
sincerely hope that later intelligence may
at least give us some hope of their safety.
"In Time of Peace Prepare for War."
In view of the fact that small pox pre
vails to some extent in counties not very
distant from our own, and the possibility
that the loathsome malady may finally work
its way here, we think it would be well to
" take time by the forelock," aud inaugur
ate a general system of vaccination. .It can
do no harm, and may result in great benefit
to the community. For several years past
Wilmington has been but little troubled
with pestilential diseases, but we cannot ex
pect, of course, to be always exempt from
those troublesome ills that flesh is heir to,
and it is therefore the part of wisdom in
our citizens to be prepared for all pos
sible emergencies. Taking this view of
the question, while we see no
cause for alarm on the subject, our
readers will probably agree with us that it
will be but an act of prudence, proceeding
on the principle that "an ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure," to resort to
vaccination at once. In fact, we learn that
some of our physicians have already recom
mended such a course to their patients in
view of the possible introduction of the dis
ease here.
The Weather.
The sleet, snow and rain of Wednesday
and Wednesday night was succeeded, yes
terday, by an admixture of the same un
comfortable ingredients, rendering the sit
uation anything but agreeable to pedes
trians. The snow came in "spits," the fleecy
clouds continuing to fall but a few minutes
each time and not covering tbe ground.
North and South of us we hear the snow
fell to a considerable depth. Late in the
afternoon the clouds began to break and
disappear and at this writing there is every
prospect of a beautiful day before us.
Fire at Fair Blnfi.
From a gentleman who arrived on the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, last evening, we learn that the barn
and stables of Mr. L M. Powell, of Fair
Bluff, were destroyed by fire on Wednesday
night The barn contained corn and fodder
which was burned. There were four horses
and mules in the stables, the doors of which
were opened and the animals turned out in
the lot, showing that the fire was undoubt
edly the work of an incendiary. Mr. Pow
ell estimates his loss at $500, upon which
there was no insurance.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEE.
Mr. Merrimon moved that the report of
the committee on Constitutional Reform be
printed and made the special order for 11
to-morrow. Passed.
Mr. Seymour gave notice that he would
submit a minority report from the commit
tee on Constitutional Amendments.
Mr. Ellis, of Catawba, moved to take up
the report of the committee on Printing,
and that the same be put upon its several
readings. The report favored the paying
the public printer 80 cents per thousand
ems, instead of sixty as paid at present, and
that for rule and figure work $1.60 be paid
instead of $f.20. The committee was
unanimous in this report
Mr. Murphy warmly advocated the pas
sage of the resolution, as he thought it but
.just to pay the public printer a fair price.
Mr. M errimon did not favor the increase,
unless good and - sufficient reasons were
gven therefor.
Mr. Waring stated that the recommenda
tion of the committee was based upon the
fact that at the present prices the printer
lost money; that ten cents above the actual
cost of setting tbe type could not cover the
other expenses incurred by ihe printer, be
sides the wear and tear of his material.
The amendment of Mr. Welch was
adopted. t
The bill passed second reading, and on
motion of Mr. Cunningham, was recom
mitted in order to obtain a full report of the
reasons for this proposed increase.
Mr. Cramer said if the reasons given by
the committee seemed sufficient, he would
support the measure.
Senate concurred in House bill in refer
ence to the State Geologist.
INTRODUCTION OP BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Waring, a bill authorizing the ap
pointment of a committee to investigate
alleged frauds in the State election, and that
the validity of the election of - Tod R. Cald
well and others be contested. Referred.
Mr. Murphy, resolution of instruction to
the Committee on the Insane Asylum, that
they be required to report a bill looking to
the building of an additional asylum, to be
located in the Western portion of the State.
This was deemed necessary in consequence
of the large number of insane persons in the
, State that can not obtain admission into
' the present asylum. Referred.
BILLS ON TBTRD BEADING.
The bill repealing so much of the general
incorporation act as prevents miners and
manufacturers from holding more than 800
acres or land.
Mr. Murphy, as a resolution, called up
the reports of the Judiciary Committee
favoring the repeal of the entire act He
favoied the repeal, extending his remarks
at some length.
Mr. Norwood opposed the repealing of
the act
Mr. Worth thought if this act be repealed
there would then be no law by which incor
porate bills could be obtained.
Mr. Murphy said the bill as it at present
stood was a curse to the State, and kept
much capital out of it The present bill
was too imperfect, and some other should
be adopted.
Mr. Merrimon defended the incorpora
tion act He thought the end desired could
be better subserved under this act than by
the work of the Legislature itself.
The substitute of Mr. Murphy was not
adopted.
The bill repealing the section relating to
miners and. manufacturers was adopted,
