A Literary Revolution.—Chftfii' bers’s Clycloqsedia of English Litem' tore, in lie rew Acme Edition, is meeting with such extraordinary sale that the publishers, to mnke it still more popular, have further reduced the Purchasers ordering before This standard drama, of "five acts,- was played in Perry last Friday night as per announcement, for the benefit of the public library. We knew that the very best histrionic talent in our com munity bad been engaged, but we con fess we feared it could not successfully present the play selected. We were most agreeably surprised and debghted af the success achieved, for we believe the ladies and gentlemen of. the Dra matic Club could not be surpassed. ex cept by professionals. This drama exemplifies a most thril ling romance, and is beautifully told.— Myron, an armorer of Massilia, has a faithful, bat worldly-minded wife— Actea, and a lovely, devoted daughter, Parthenia. Actea desires to marry Partbeuia to the rich, but conceited 1 and heartless old merchant, Polvdor, and Parthenia rejects his suit, but afterwards consents to become his wife on condition that be shall improve the condition of her poor father; there upon the old miser concludes it cheap er to hire a governess for his children. While on an excursion into tne moun tains Myron is captured by a band of Aleman ni, or brigands, of whom Ingo- mar is chief, and they demand a ran som of thirty pieces of silver. Parthe nia applies in vain to the Timarch. or Governor, and to the citizens for aid, and at last to Polyck.r, who maliciously and insultingly refuses. Her unbound ed filial love suggests one more expe dient. She goes into the mountains Last Sunday was a blustering day, and the wind blew almost a hurricane from daylight to dark. The month of March had been so far nnnsally calm, but it seemed that on this day Eolus had struck the mountain with his turned spear, and loosed the bonds of the imprisoned winds, allowing them to escape and rush at will over the land ana sea. Early in the morning clouds of flying sand and earth from the dry fields obscured the horizon and render ed locomotion-extremely" unpleasant.— Scores of fences in country and town were levelled with the ground, and oth er minor- damages done. About eleven o’clock the Luge vol umes of smoke that rose from different directions and went scudding off with the wind, showed that the fire-fiend had] taken advantage of the fo\ orable oppor- ] tunity, and threatened to spread de struction far and wide through the country. To the north of Perry the woods caught from a new-ground be tween Mr. Alfred Nelson’s and Mr. T. Warren Smith’s. It was only by the hardest work that Mr. Gtilledge and a number of hnnds saved the steam saw null and lumber. The fire moved swift ly eastward, and the whole neighbor hood was soon aroused and went to The WEEKLY TELEGRAPtf AND MESSENGER, an eiglit-pnge paperj coDtiiiping Sixty-Four Columns, is one of the largest sheets print Oct iff the United States.

DAIN in the right side, under the 1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient-is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having; left undone some thing which ought to have been done* A slight, ary cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits axe low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the abovd symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body; after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated.

It was astonishing that the people of this nciglibo: hood saved anything from the fire, for it ws old be hurled across open fields, or driven from stump to slump as with a blast pipe. Messrs, J. G.

Several of the young gentlemen played two parts each, and played them well.
