Gen. Paw, Toledo, Oslo, LOCAL TOPICS. USSELL H. CONWELL, "the Spurgeon of America," delivered bia celebrated lecture, Acres of Diamonds, to a crowded house last Monday evening. The assurance our people had received that the lecture would compare favorably with the most Celebrated lectures oi John B.

Gough and Wendell Phillips were fully verified. Mr. Conwell baa had a varied experience as a soldier, traveler, lawyer, author, arid orator, and his lecture was happily illustrated by incidents gathered from these fields of observation. It was just What bur community needed, and cannot fail produce good results, its practical lesson being that we should use the means and improve the opportunities wjthih our reach, rather than seek distant and unknown fields for usefulness, wealth happiness or fame. Mr.

Conwelt's power as an orator is shown by the fact that he held his audience spell-bound for over twp hours and a half, and could have had the same unbroken attention for as much longer time. He amused and instructed with an eloquence and fascination hard to describe, making a lasting impression upon every one who heard him. Mr. Conwell devotes the proceeds of his lectures to assisting young people without means in getting an education. Who can estimate the good he is doing Mr.

Conwell will always be welcomed by a Marshall audience, and we hope to hear him often. It is safe to say that a handsomer lay out of holiday goods In all branches of trade was neyer before on exhibition in Marshall.

A little before 7 o'clock this morning Thomas Conley discovered fire in the back part 'of the barn occupied by him as a hack stable, opposite "The Johnson" barti on Eagle street.

At 11:25 this forenoon the house of Messrs. Ben and Andrew Morey on West Hanover street, was discovered to be on fire.

Ben Morey and infant child were. the only persons in the house when the fire broke out. She is unable to account for the fire. The babe was slightly burned. There was a small amount of insurance on the property.

The company is for above the average traveling troupe pi dying in repertoire, and in Hr. Tucker we have an actor who is excelled by none in his particular line of dramatic In the character of the outcast, or tramp, which he essayed on Monday night, there was nothing to criticise.

His every move, gesture, word and look, together with his make tip and dress, betoken the genuine vagrant who had sunk to the lowest depths to which one ostracised from society and poisoned by drink could be brought; still he retained in all his misery and degradation that noble virtue of honer to wards every fellow being' and herein lay the charm of Mr. Tucker's commendable work. The play has a well denned plot and is very interesting all through. Mr. Tucker is ably supported by 8.

B. Robinson, a former well known Block actor, Tony West, the popular young player, who has appeared here many times, M. B. Streeter, Chas. Gould, Will Button, Ethel Tucker, Carrie West and Isabella Fletcher, all excellent in their parts.

'Our theatre goers may rest assured of a week of extraordinary good dramatic productions and the company deserve a liberal patronage. a Under the Lion's Paw. This is ope of the most novel plays which has yet been produced in this age of stage realism. The story deals with circus life, and is a clever introduction to a business whose technicalities were hitherto untouched by dramatists. The story briefly told is that of a guardian who consents to the marriage of his beautiful ward to a scheming lawyer, in order to prevent the exposing his mismanagementof her estatee.

His plant are overheard by his ward, and to. 'render herself independent she buys a husband in the person of the first man she sees, a dissipated artist, who agrees to leave the country at pace. The guardian mentioned is the proprietor of a circus, who, in revenge for being jilted by a performer named Helene, has stolen the child of her marriage with a lion tamer. Two years after the marriage of his ward, the actor returns as a great bareback rider, discovers bis wife (who had been veiled daring the ceremony), and endeavors in every manner to assist her, as she, having lost her marriage certificate and the church records being burned, is at the mercy other guardian. The certificate turns up in the hands of one of the circus people, and an attempt is made to secure the paper, and have the only persons knowing of its existence destroyed by the lions, which pleasant little schemes are baffled by the Lion King, and explanations follow which unite as lovers the married strangers.

The company is quite well Dai- lanced, and the stage settings excellent Of course the great interest centers around the work of Col. Boone and his lions, and their appearance fully up to any ideas one may have formed of these performers. This great performance will be given at the opera house. Tuesday evening. Jan.
