Jay Rial's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company will play on the 18th and 19th inst. at the Logan Theatre. Having seen the performances of this company on two occasions, we endorse the sentiments of the New York Herald printed below, as to their abilities. Jay Rial's Uncle Tom's Cabin, now running at the Academy of Music, is the very best dramatic version of Mrs. Stowe's great novel ever presented on the metropolitan stage. The company is an excellent one, the scenic effects fine, and the bloodhounds pursue "Eliza" with an intelligence and effect that is thoroughly dramatic. We clip the following items from the Salt Lake Herald of the 6th inst, The washout on the Pleasant Valley Road was repaired last night, no time whatever being lost. Trains will be running as usual to-day. The Tabernacle was lighted up with electricity on Friday night, and it looked immense. The firemen are determined to have an excursion anyway, as the Utah & Northern railway cannot supply cars they have determined to go south and will leave for Nephi, Aug. 30th. WE learn by this morning's Salt Lake Herald of the supposed death by drowning of Mr. J. D. Farmer, the well known dry goods merchant of Salt Lake city. It appears that on Sunday evening he went to the Lake to bathe and bring back his wife and some of his family from Black Rock. He undressed in one of the bathing houses there, and was afterwards seen floating on his back in the lake. When the time for returning home arrived, Mrs. Farmer became anxious and got friends to look after her husband, but the search was fruitless. His clothes were found in one of the rooms at the bath house. Search was made by parties in row boats on Sunday night and again yesterday, but without success. He leaves an invalid wife and five children. |
