The surgeon’s knife has been used at Indianapolis to cure an incorrigible and apparently degenerate youth. He was before the city court almost daily and aho fled the most vicious tendencies Hie motht r finally recalled the fact that ibtia or four years before the boy had received a fall and bur his h*ad nud sii examination showed tfcbt tue skull had been injured. H • was th refore subjected to an operation and three small pieoes of depressed bone removed from the skull. The result proved to be remarkably satisfactory The entire disposition of the boy seems to have undargone a change and he it- now as tractable and cherubic as the best of boys and shows a disposition to study, learning rapidly. Poultry raisers say that while there will be a good crop of turkeys this year, the price will be high This has been a good summer for the birds on account of the absence of hard rams. Many of the young b ids died however on account of the 00 d nights. Chickens continue high in price and at this late time in the season there is no prospect- of eggs being any cheaper,

EIFD ENTER STILL DRAWS. Those delightful characterizations of McCutcheon’s “Bird Center’’ cartoon people are drawing the same big audiences to the Grand Opera house, Chioago, that marked the first nights of the production. The comedy is genuine, and the various village characters ere fast beooming types under the skillful portrayal given them by the clever player-folk engaged. The plot is interesting to follow, and there are several situations and complications of pungent humor, The laughter is one undeniable symptom of- the play’s success. It echoes from all parts of the on many oooasions when Will Archie indulges in his infantile pranks, or when Bird Center’s matrons attempt to maintain their dignity on top of too frequent libations at Cap’n Frye’s wonderful well, or again at the studio of the tin type “artist” “an evening in Bohemia” is in progress. On these and other occasions, you laugh with every one else, and the comedy reputation of the play is established. One moment only “of pathos, and is the moment when Colonel Payton olaims as his own the sword left on the battle field, end now put up at auction by the veteran Captain Frye. The little speeoh, brief but pregnant with emotion, which Edward Connelly makes in his role of the colonel, is one of the best pieces of historianism seen in Chicago in years.
