"Everybody Works But Father." 1t is seldom that a musical comedy tikes such ain immnediate hoh1l on the lovers of the stage as Howard Web. ster's latest p)rodulctionl, "E lverybody Works But Father.'' TIhe enIormlfous a ttendlance that greets thle comlpanly in cevery city is only accountable by thle fact that the production has struck the common cord ini the heart of tihe play-goer and is essentially a pleasing production both to the ear and the eye. Aside from ani unuts iially excellent cast and a harge and efTicient chorus, the stage settings anid electricAl effects are to a degree be yond the wildest exp)ectationus in sumpi1tuiousness and elegance. Thq whole showv from beginning to end is one rap)id melange of dazzling suir p)rises to the mirthful tune of pleas ing anid catchy rnllie. Everything is. on a plane of magnificence hitherto undreamed of in th~e realms of music. It will be seen at theQ opera house orb Saturday, Marsch 2. Amity Lodge, No. 87, A. I'. M.

The special term of the criminal court, which was ordered by Jitdge Purdy to be held the latter part of March, has been called off by him in an order, which If has filed with the clerk of court under date of the 27th 9f February. The reasons for this are stated by Judge Purdy in his or der. No jurors have yet been drawn and' the witnesses and the litigants will take notice that no court will be held: When I ordered that ap extra term of court he held at the time above stated 1 ..as advised that there would be a very short term of the court of common pleas at Abbeville, with an interval of two weeks perhaps,. until the convening of court elsewhere. I have since been advised that such will not be the case, but that. the Abbe ville term of court will occupy a much longer time than was supposed, at the time of making the order for the ex tra term. It will be almost impossi ble to sit Continuously in court for the length of time required for this circuit and add thereto an extra term, and properly discharge the duties of the office. I have with great reluctance, and against the eariest protest of the so liitor decided to receind the order for this etxia term of court, aid it is s0 or'dered. Ft is therefore ordered that the --Ierk of the court for Newberry coun ty and the other officers charged therewith, make no preparations for sm-Ic court, but that they re!cinld any sIeps that may have been taken to that end.
