Uncle Tom’s Cabin was presented in the Opera House on Tuesday and Wed- nesday evenings. The old and familiar version had been somewhat revised by the introduction of two Lawyer Markses and two Topsies, the entire expunging Of Gumption Cute, one of the most accept- able of the comedy characters, and the transmogrification of other details. That these innovations amOunted to an improve- ment was not generally admitted. One Topsy was too sick to perform here, how- ever, so the double Topsy business was omitted, but the single Topsy, Miss Blanche Slader, made things interesting enough to make up.

Rose has an apple orchard in the rear of his house, which contains several russet trees. Last fall a number of the russet apples fell off the trees, and about a dozen lodged in a stone wall un- der one of the trees. These were left in the wall during the winter. The snow covered them and they were frozen solid. The other day Mr. Rose was in the or- chard, and, noticiligroncof these apples, examined it. He found that it was thawed and was as sound and juicy as when it fell from the tree. An inspection of the others showed all to be in the same fiuc condition. They were' not puckered or softened at all by the frost and the bruises and cuts, where the apples had struck the stones in falling, instead of being dcceyed as is commonly the case, were as fresh as when originally made. Mr. Rose gathers the theory from. this circumstance that russet apples left on a stone floor and allowed to freeze will keep as long as is desired without the slightest injury to the apple.

' -—-—————-<sd>->——-~—— , Caught In His Own Trap. Rufus Fillow, a wealthy farmer in the Cranberry Plains district, Norwalk, having been pastel-ed with lien thieves, resolved upona device which would detect and perhaps secure the offenders. On the ground near the front door of 'the hen house he set a huge steel trap secured by achnin, the end made fast to an inner joist. Over the open trap Mr. Fillow sprinkled a covering of straw. A stranger could not possibly tread near the door without springing the trap. For his own convenience he provided a secret entrance on the opposite side of the house. After ‘Wilifi‘iig’two days for results, and noticing the straw over the trap had not been dis- tilrbed, Mr. Fillow cssayed an examina- tion. Wllileinaking it the trap sprung its teeth, catching tllree fingers and a thumb of the right hand, holding him a prisoner until neighbors came to his re- lil-f.—Dnnbliry News. -——<+>- -------------- In the latter part of March or first part of April there will be issued from the of- fice of the American Trotting Register. in New York, a complete record of all trot- ting and pacing performances of the past year. These performances will be given in fllll summaries, showing every incident of every race, where any mile was trotted or paced in 250 or better. These summa- ries have been diligently compared and then rccompared with the official reports in the oliice of the National TrottingAsso- elation, alid altogethcrmorc nearly correct than anything of the kind cvcr heretofore published. As there will be no skeletons or sham summaries, this part of the book, with its indexes, will fill more than two hundred pages. Then will follow the great annual tables of performers under their sires, embrac- ing nearly or quite a hundred pages morc' These tables are the great educators of this generation of horsemen and embrace all past teachings and all past experiences. They ilot only show what performers have come from the loins of of each sire, but they show what the sons and daughters of each sire have done ill the way of get.- ing or producing trottcrs and paccrs. These tables, ill their simple statement of facts, are worth ten—fold more than all that has ever been written or uttered on the subject of breeding the trotter.
