LAST APPEARANCE OF MRS. NOAH

This evening for the benefit of Mr. CARROLL, the one time favorite of the
Rochester theater going public, Mrs. W. G. NOAH, will make her appearance on
the stage for the last time, probably. The piece selected for the occasion is
"Lucretia Borgia," in which Mrs. NOAH formerly achieved some of her greatest
triumphs, and we presume that the remembrance of her excellence in the part
will induce many who are seldom seen within the walls of the theater
now-a-days, to attend.

The beneficiary of the evening, Mr. CARROLL, is a careful, pains taking
actor, and an estimable gentleman personally; qualities which should ensure
him a good house and a hearty reception.

MAN MISSING - On Wednesday morning, Jan. 1st, John W. MERRIAM left his
residence, saying that he was going to work. He had previously been in the
employ of the N. Y. C. R. R. company, and on Thursday P. M., he was seen by
his son to go to the Paymaster's car and get his wages, since which time
nothing definite has been heard of him by his family. The missing man was
about five feet eight inches in height, short built, light complexion, gray
hair and whiskers. He wore black clothes, and a low crowned hat, same color.
Any information concerning him may be left at this office.
****
A NEW IMPLEMENT FOR FARMERS - We call the attention of our farmers to a
farming implement of merit now on exhibition at the Court House. It is a corn
planter, resembling very much a light cultivator, and judging from its
appearance the saving of labor in a single day would amount to the cost of
the implement. Let our farmers call and see it. The owner of the right for
this State, Mr. J. M. SCRIBNER, is stopping at the Clinton House, where he
may be consulted in reference to sales of rights or single machines.

SAD AFFAIR - CHILD FATALLY SCALDED
-A very sad affair occurred on Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. BURNS, on
Perkins street, near Lake Avenue, which resulted in the death of a little
boy, two years of age, by being scalded with a kettle of boiling water. The
little fellow climbed upon a chair to get something on a mantel shelf, and in
reaching after it lost his balance and fell against the stove. In his fall he
caught the edge of a kettle of boiling water and pulled it over on him,
spilling its contents all over his body. The child was terribly scalded; so
much so that medical aid could not alleviate his pain, and he lingered in
great agony until the next evening when death terminated his suffering.
****
HEN ROOST ROBBED - About the meanest act that a member of the human family
can be engaged in, is that of robbing a hen roost - taking poor innocent and
unoffending chickens from their perches, tearing them ruthlessly from their
accustomed places of abode, and consigning them to an ignominious end, in an
unceremonious manner by wringing their necks. We regret to say that such an
occurrence took place early yesterday morning. The hen roost of B. F. MARSH,
on Broadway, was entered and about a dozen the fowls abstracted therefrom.
The guilty parties were successful in escaping with their booty without
detection.
****
BOYS LOST - Two boys named John GAMBLE and Wm. PORTER ran away from East
Palmyra about three weeks since. One of them was about fourteen and the other
twelve years of age. Since their departure their friends have been unable to
gain any clue of their whereabouts, and are very much distressed thereat.-
The eldest boy is very respectably connected and has had superior advantages
of education and bringing up. The other was an apprentice boy. Any person who
can furnish information concerning these boys, will confer a favor on their
affected friends and relatives.
****
JOSEPH CASTLEMAN - Mr. Jacob CASTLEMAN received a letter yesterday from Mrs.
CASTLEMAN, who it will be remembered went to Washington a few days since to
see her son, a member of Capt. REYNOLDS' artillery corps, who was reported to
be ill of erysipelas. It appears that the young man had nearly recovered from
this disease when he was attacked with the small pox - or varioloid - and at
the Gate(?) Of his mother's letter he was very low. She was not permitted to
have access to him.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

In West Troy last Tuesday afternoon, a woman left her child, an infant of
three years old, sleeping on a bed while she went out, locking the door
behind her. By some means the bed on which the child lay sleeping, took fire.
A colored woman living in a room up stairs, discovered the flames, and upon
bursting in the door the child was found burnt to a crisp and quite dead.

Henry O'CONNOR, Esq., of Muscatine, Iowa, District Attorney, and reputed to
be one of the best lawyers in the State, joined the first company that was
?aised in that place after war broke out, as a private. -
He was with the First Iowa ?? the battle of Wilson's Creek, and fought like a
Turk. On returning home he was offered a commission - any he might choose in
a??giment. But his reply was, "D--n your commission; all I want is a gun."
That's the kind of a man for you.

In having been ascertained that a great amount of sickness and suffering
prevailed in the 33d Indiana Regiment at Crab Orchard, two young ladies of
Indianapolis, named Miss Elizabeth BATES and Miss MERRILL, both possessing
wealth and high social position, volunteered as nurses, and are new in camp
attending to their duties. Neither of them has relations or personal friends
in the regiment, so that nothing but the purest motives of patriotism and
zeal in the sacred cause of the Union, induced them to forsake the comforts
and endearments of home for the privations of a military camp. The wife of
Capt. HENDRICK, of company A, is also there on the same mission of mercy and
love.

Col. Henry DOUGHERTY, who was so badly wounded at Belmont, is at the house of
his uncle, Col. John DOUGHERTY, at Jonesboro, where he is tenderly cared for.
His leg was amputated three times by the rebels, yet so bunglingly that it
will have to be again dressed. He is having a patent leg made, and will still
command his regiment. His men say they will have no other Colonel.

James BROWN has a second time been convicted of the murder of Mr. HOGAN, M.
P. P. at Toronto.

A few months ago, the editor of the Charleston Mercury prayed that our ships
might be sunk. Quite a number of them, laden with stone, have since been sunk
right before his eyes. We hope he is grateful for the answer to his prayer.

The paper mill of Barstow & Fairchild, in Williamsville, Erie county, was
destroyed by fire on Thursday morning. Loss $20,000.

A man named SAVAGE has "struck ile," in Livingston county, Illinois. It is
claimed to be as good in all respects as the Pennsylvania oil.

Judge BARNES of Bath was seriously injured last Monday, by being thrown from
his cutter; his head striking against a post.

Mr. and Mrs. LEFERTS, residing on Montgomery street Syracuse, lost three
children by malignant scarlet fever, between Tuesday noon and Wednesday
morning at 6 o'clock. The three little ones were buried in the same grave.

Instead of being authorized to raise a regiment of cavalry to fight against
the United States, Col. Arthur RANKIN has been superceded in his command as
Colonel of the North Military District in Canada.
