About a twelve? month ago, when playing in the interior, he aught cold, whieh scen settled on his lungs and proved fatal im the end. For the last his house, and for six weeke or more has not left hia bedchamber. Mr. Perry was born-in Philadelphia, on Christmas day, 1826, and was therefore when he died, entering the 37th-oT his age. When quite a boy he used to work in a stable and ride: horse races.— Tiring of this business, he ran off and learned the tailoring trade; but having a hankering for theatricals, before long went on the boards, ,He made his first appearance on stage, when about 19 years old, at Walnut Street Theatre, in Philadelphia, in the character of “ Malcolm,” in Macbeth. In 1851, he was jending man at the Broadwa Pheatre, New York. Afterwards he traveledin company with Julia Dean, for two years ; and leaving her, “ starred” it for two yeurs more, in the western cities. He next played in New York, in Burton’s company; and soon after ** starred” it through the Cansdas and the States. He played in Wood & McVicar’s company in §t. Louis, Cincinhuti and Chicago; agin at ‘tHieWalout, in 1859; and later,-at Nible’s Garden, New York. Two years ago,’he arrived here, and made his “ebut, if we recollect aright, at the old Lyceum Theatre, in the character of constantly on the boards in this city, except during his last illness, and when tie made an occasional professional visit to the interior towns. z Frequenters.of the Opera House will recollect Hin as tle leading actor, if not the most valuable one, in the excellent stock pcompany which the management of that thea. . tre had collected during the last year or two. Mr. Perry apparently thought that he was destined to shine moat im and high comedy, but the public verdict was against his pretensions in that way. His strength lay in eccentric or low comedy, and there he showed great force of acting and much genuine humor. His “*Miles-na-Coppaleen,” in the Colleen Bawn, the old negro * Pete,” in the Octoreon, and many similar characters were aduirable. “His voice was too harsh and unmodulated, his gestures were too ungraceful, and his veiy-limbs too bulky and unwieldy, to suit the polished nature of the heroic or the courtly of the bigher drama. But in his proper range of characters, Mr. Perry wag . great acquisition to our local stage, and his place Gaunot very well be supplied by any actor at present aunong us.

Live Srockx.—The Howard Benevolent Society undertook, a few days since, to send steamers down the river'to rescue stock from the ranches, and manywere in this manner saved, but the flood keeps up so long, and it ia ao likely to continue, and men, women and children come to them ingtych numbers for assistance, that they i i tinue their-exertiens in saving stock without using the means which are absolutely needed toe meet the wants of humanity: Besides, they find that it costs-as:much, and in wany cases more, to send steamers after stock,
take them on board and convey-them to dry land, than they are worth; in addition to Whieh one half, if not more, of those. thuseeactad are so far gone that they will die atever may be done with them.
