Though slighly ! reduced in size, it presents an attractive j appearance, and promises to be fearlessly j Independent in advocating the cardinal j (marches off' with Henriette. unmolested l?y the rest of the crew. The scene in the str.-et in front of the church, where nil nature is mantled with snow and the lrrge feathery flakes tall in such profusion on the half naked and shivering form* of Louise, with her wan lace, and her only filer d, the poor cripple, who to protect her from the cold devest* himself ot his own tattered coat and affectionately threw it over her half frozen form, was probably the most affecting one of the evening. It was enacted to the life, and from the sudden and rapid handling of handkerchiefs Sy many of the audience it was easy to discern the appeal to their pity and smypathv was powerfully and accurately rendered. Not until the closing part of the last act, however, is the vast assemblage completely carried away, when the den of Jacques Prochard, the outlaw, and his gentle (?l mother, is discovered and the bars and doors bursted open?just as the brave cripple, in defense of the orphans, has a hand to band encounter, with butcher-knives, with his brother, the outlaw, and is about overcome?by the Chevalier and his band who arrived in the nick of time to prevent the sheddmg of the blood of the innocent and to arrest the desperado and his unnatural mother. The audience were so carried away with enthusiasm, at this juncture, that they arose from their seats almost en tnaMe, many clapping their hands and cheering lustily.

J ihc "Two Orphans" i on New Year's night, for the last tune, before Uinil I a> well pleased en audience as it has ever been our pleasure to notice congregated in this temple of pleasure. From the rising ot the curtain in the first act till the close of the last, the closest eagerness and earnestness were manifested, but only with the dovelop- i ment of the play, when the hardships and distress of the blind orphan and the I fiendish cruelty ot her keepers were wit- I nested, did the audience show that inten- ! sity of feeling w hich is seldom observable I but in real life. 'l he garden a< I perhaps was the most attractive. The elegantly attired noblemen and females sitting around the cosy little tables, ,-ioping their champaigne arid talking *oft nonsense, while tho mellow light from the lamps shaded by the fro-led g and the illuminated appearance of the tall and noble edifice I in the back g;n.iiid gave it a magnetic charm thai all who have read of the gay and beautiful gardens of Paris can read- . I ily appreciate. Then the highly interesting termination of this scene where j Henriette, the abducted orphan, is j brought in on a lounge arid when arous- j ed to consciovsncss, and she understands her doom, appeals so eloquently to the honor of the gentlemen present, and I finally arouses tne gallant 4Chevelier Maurice DeYandrey, who i? cynically sipping his wine, to a sense of his manhood and duty, and dashing his glass into fragments against the ! lamp-post, he rushes to her rescue, and against the will ot the Marquis l>e i Presles and his friends, heroically determines to Conduct her out of the vile place j which in bis effort to do so results in a sword encounter with the Marquis whom he despatches in short order, and bravely j jg? WUUCLLieU WELCOME TO 11 CKXTENKUL. The people of Wheeling did not he much time for preparation, but never its history has such a night been w n eased as that which ushei in the "new '7rt." Early ? day evening crowds began gather in the streets, and by 10 o'clc Market street in the vicinity of the J Lure House, was almost imp&ssat There *was noise and confusion a elbowing, and the saloons were full overflowing, but the utmost good hwn seemed to prevail. While waiting the midnight hour and for the inaugu of the fun, the people amused themseh by letting oft noisy fire-works, firi cannon, and watching the colored lig burned by especially patriotic citizens As the clock tolled midnight's holy Ik all the bells of the city were rung, a such a horrid din and clatter was nu\ beard before in this city. The inha tants seemed to fully anticipate wl was to come, and none of them h retired. The whole city > agog, and such a time v never before and probably will never witnessed again in the community. 7 streets were lined with men and lx armed with all kinds of instruments tl would make a noise and for two hoi the orgies were kept up. The ban the whistle of the engines, l cannon, the tire-crackers a tire arms on the side walks, the drut the horns and every invention ever < vised to make a noise broke out in t jubilee When the people grew hoai and their voices weakened, there si rang out the bells tar and ne sumo sweetly and some wim rude clang, but all with ?j common meaning, "Welcome to t new era of Independence, and religic liberty forever!" We say again the i casion was one that is only seen once it lifetime. A description of it is imp siblo, and as we are not adequate to t task, we will not attempt it. The lire department did a great deal add success to the affair. besides bavi the bells at the different engine hou rung, the firemen decorated their engii in the moat gorgeous manner, and j raded through tlfe streets. They madt most creditable appearance. The advent of the centennial vear w ? long be remembered by the people Wheeling. May all of us be present witness the n? no, we won't wish ar thing so absurd, but simply close wisnmg happiness t? everybody.
