Atabout : twenty, minutes 'to two this morning Mr A, P. Feilditfg of Masterton' was aroußed from his sleep by the sound M men's voices at theside'of hishouse and by tho barking of his watchdog. He heard someone pacify the,dog and then enter the scullery attached, to the dwelling, the,door not being secured, The intruder was speaking in a very loud voice and making'a considerable disturbance among the baths and tubs kept in the room, and very soon was .heard to say " We'll make : a fire now I" As may be' supposed, the awakened family were very much terrified at what was - laking ; place, and Mr teilding threw on a few articles, of clothing and ran for the.police, wbo were promptly on the scene, and Brrested a miserable looking drunken man',' who gave his name as Richard Loone, who was making himself as comfortable as he could on a heap of firewood stored in the .Boullery.

The "Wizard of the.North'-'opened last evening in the Theatre Royal to a large audience, though the- front seats were not patronised in a manner to en* courage an enterprising caterer like Mr George Coker to bring firstxclassartistes up to Masterton, Professor Anderson is indisputably the beat performer, in his particular line that we have seen, ; and ho is well-supported by Madame Anderson, who possesses unmistakeable hislrionio talent. The paraphernalia,on the stage is varied and attractive, the effect of the various illusions presented being;rna/terially enhanced by tho manner in: -which they are framed. The Professors':.like' most other leading magicians,.i 6 of utilising living objects in his illustrations, and possesses quite a .pretty collection of birds, rabbits, anil guinea pip;. : The performance opened last evening with a, clever patter, in which a niagio.'clock and a crystal bell were' 1 introduced. Tho wizard has an easy, pleasing'address, which puts his audience in a good hiimor. He explained that his mysterious' -1 tricks were not due to electricity or galvanism,'' but simply to " Andeisonißm,''' Some of the marvels of the early part'of the evening were decidedly "Andersonian," One was a bird and bird cage which absolutely vanished between his hands while the audience were challenged to watch how it disappeared. The'mystorious production of a series of crystal howls containing livo flab, and the magio flower pot from whioh flowers : true to name appeared instantaneously, were feats that were received, with unbounded applause, Tho event of the evening was the decapitation trick, in which the body of Madame. Anderson appeared .in. onepart of the stage and the head in another, the former moving and tho latter-'-' ing. How the trick is done^rjfiiy l explicable by the former ■. thepr]' nc, ot; "Andorsonism." Montal telegrhjpHyHf another illusion given, by. Madirneafar?' the Professor, which is quite as" puzzling,. The character sketches of Madame" are. also worthy of more than a passing word of commendation. The programme wound up with tho celebrated Indian basket Iriok, which is by itself quite a surprise scene.. Tho audience,' by their laughter and applause, testified throughout the evening.their appreciation of the .entertainment. 'Some of the occupants of the gallery displayed an,occasional tendency to fill necessary intervals with Salvation hymns, and in one instance tboy manifested more wit than reverence. When the curtain fell on the headless but gory trunk of Madame Anderson, one of their number struck up the well-known ohorus, " The Lamb I The Lamb I Tho Bleeding Lamb I" It is, however, but fair to say that the gallery, on the whole, behaved very well, and only asserted itself duringoddandunoccnpiedmoments. We hope Professor Anderson, on his second appearance this evening, will be greeted with a full house. Ho jb decidedly the best prestidigetator who has appeared amongst us in Masterton, arid it is impossible not to admire his cleverness and professional' skill, or to refrain from •laughing at the quaint humor which he infuses into his programme.
