LAST Tuesday evening at the First Presbyterian Church, it was demonstrated that an excellent entertainment—an exceedingly good entertainment—could be given by such a oombination as Rob

ERT

Sterrett with his violin, A. Hoberg

with his flute, Miss Maggie C. Allen, of Rookville, and Miss Octavia Burnott at the piano, Mrs. Herbert Madison, Mrs. Anna L. Gould, Mrs. Jones and Prof. Paige, in song, and Mrs, Nettie B. Joab and Harry Whipple witp readings.

SOME two weeks ago Cornelius G. Smock, in company with several of MS neighbors, started for a trip to Texas. On Tuesday the melancholy intelligence came that he had just died at Parsons, Kansas, in tho house of George St. Olair a brothor of Benj. St. Clair, of this city. Mr. Smock, "Noil Smock," as ho was familiarly known,was a good citizen,and universally esteemed. Ho was about 55 years of age, and had resided for many years on tho old Fort Harrison ftirin.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. J. L. Mattoon, of Greenup, Ills., is in the city in search of his brother-in-law, George E. Wright, agent of the Singer sewing machine at that point. The missing man came to this city last Monday morning. He was at the Singer agency, attending to business, took supper at the National, sine? which time all traoe of him is lost. On Tuesday morning a lot of notes, letters and papers, having the appearance of having been examined and then thrown aside, were found in the alley, between Third and Fourth streets, near Cherry street. Mr. Wright was a strictly tempera'" ma straightforward and honest in ^iis business, and it is feared that he has been foully dealt with. He is about twentyseven years old, and has a wife and child at Greenup. f.

IOUL MURDER.

On New Year's eve James Trueblood had a dance at his house, near Sugar Grove, southeast of the city. While the dance was in progress, a party of men came in and insisted on dancing. Trueblood said that only thoso having numbers could dauce. {Thoy then attacked him, three in nnmber. Frank Lowe cut his throat, and stabbed, him, the knife touching his heart. Ho fell dead at once, and the murderers fled. His sister afterward knocked a man down with a chair for saying that these men did not kill her brother.

Officer O'Mara, on yesterday arrested Joe and Frank Lowe and Charles Palmer, as tho parties guilty of tho crime. It appears that there are two men named Frank Lowe. The one arrested asserts that he can provo an alibi. Tho other Frank lowe has not been found. The case will havo a hearing on Monday.

INOOMAR,

This barbarian ha^ a very fair representative in Mr. D. Haueliett, at the Opera House last night, and Miss Fannio B. Price played in her tistifd style, *be gentle loving

:Parthenfh.

Ingomar is

not a new play.^End yet there may be somo readers of The Mail Who haven seen.it, aud they, will be. interested in learning, as wo do, from Oris' dramatic gallery, that Ingomar was a barbarian. He lived among tSie mountains, and obtained a livelihood by capturing stray travelers who chanced that way, holding them until their friends could raise a specified sum of money, when he returned tho ransomed sinners home. Mar was his name originally, being a son of Mars, but owing to his impetuous way of "going in" when there was a fight, he came to be called In-go-mar. The barbarians whom he commanded scorned to live in the cities, chiefly «n account of being compelled to go dressed up. They preferred to be bare, as to their limbs, hence the name, bare-barians.

Ingomar and his band drove a lively business in the ransom line. One morning they captured an old man named Myron, an armorer from a neighboring city. 'loo old, apparently, to bear arms, he yet bore a whole bundle of arms in his bare arms when caught. He didn't advertise his business any in the papers, but sold his goods by samples, and the rbnrians got away with him, as they are bound to get away with everybody that don't advertise.

Myron had a beautiful daughter named Parthenia. She hadn't any Par Thenia, because her par's name was Myron, though she had a Mar Theano. When news reached the family of tho capture of Myrou they were overwhelmed with grief. Thirty ounces of bright silver were demanded as a ransom, and that was some twenty-nine ounces more than there was about the house so they ransome considerably behind on tho ransomc. Parthenia appealed to her friends to make up the amount, but one had a note to meet on that day, another had just paid his gas bill and it took all he could rake and scrape, and another could easily have4 loaned her the money yesterday, but he got inviegled into a game of poker the night ooforo that cleaned him out.

Then she besought the Timarch (mayor of the city) to bail the old man out, but the Timarch said there was an ordinaneo against such proceedings. As a last resort she entreated Polydor, a rich old fellow, whom she bad disoarded as a lover, to put up for Myron. She offered

not being picked up as easily then as now. A raffle might have done the business, but Parthenia never thought of that. She determined to seek her lather in the mountains, and plead for him with the barbarians. She did so, was captured by the Alemanni and brought to Ingomar. Ingomar was not much accustomed to female society. He didn't attend parties, although he was a party to the stoaiing there was going on around there, and if he was ever invited to a ball it was a ball and chain. He was greatly taken with Parthenia—liked hor style—so when she offered to remain as ransom for her father until suoh time as be oould dispose of his shot guns and raise the required money, Ingomar readily gave assent, although ho was never known to give a cent beforo in his life, from that moment it was good-bye, Ingomar. He fell desperately in love with Parthenia.' He offered to Dehor guide back to the city, and when they reached the oity walls tney met her father Myron. After the first transports were over, Ingomar expressed a wish to go home and take up his abode with them. Ho wanted to become a Greek—to work on the canal, take out his naturalization papers and vote the Democratic ticket. Alter stipulating that the barbarian should doff his lion skin, shave off his huge whiskers and lay aside his sword, Myron consented, and they rode into tho city on the Carthage 'bus.

Ingomar worked faithfully with Myron in the armory, but their guns didn't seem to go off very well, and they remained poor. Polyaor bought up ail the outstanding claims against Myron, and pressed them upon him one day. He couldn't settle, and Polydor was about to sell the entire flunily ss slaves, (this was before the war) when Ingomar put himsnlf in as a substitute. At this ensis the Alamani appeared in front of the city's wails. Great consternation ensued, but peace was made with the barbarias, Ingomar set free and given a gov eminent appointment, ana Parthenia bestowed upon him in marriage.

And thus they went hand and hand together. Two soles with bat a single squeak,

Bragans that slump as one.
