PROPOSED BUILDING SOCIETY.—A meeting was
held at the Bell Hotel, on Friday evening, to con-
sider the dairability of forming a building society
for Stourbridge and the district. Mr. W. Walker
presided, and explained the objects in view; and,
after a discussion, it was decided to form such a
society, and a provisional cominittee was appoin-
ted. _ _

THE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.—A meeting of the
members of this association was held on Monday
evening. The President (Mr. J. B. tt hephered)
gave an interesting address on the proceedings of
the last Parliamentary session, noticing the most
prominent acts of the Government, and the action
of the -Opposition in relation thereto. He also
commented upon some of the events of the recess,
and then spoke iupon the questions coming up
for settlement in the:future.:Cordial thanks were
voted to Mr. Shepherd for his address.
THEATRE ROYAL.—Shortly after the late lament-
able Accident at Messrs. Norris's spade works,
Wollaston, the members of the Stourbridge Drama-
tic Club decided in giving two entertainments in
aid of the sufferers. Saturday and Monday last
were the two nights fixed upon, but as there were
so many unable to obtain admission on Monday
night an extra performance was given on Tuesday
evening. The pieces selected were "Midnight,"
or the 13th chime of old St. Paul's, "The Con-
vict," "and the Rose of Ettrick Vale. In mid-
night Mr. Bosworth, as Cyprian, Mr. Bourne as
Walter Lisle, Mr. Nicklin as Albert de Laney and
Mr. J. Taylor asgeter were well received, and
performed the parts allotted to them in a credit-
able manner. The characters of Sybil Merton and
Maude were sustained respectively by Miss Lilly
Beeves and Miss Thorley. The admirable acting
of both these ladies elicited the well merited ap-
plause it deserved. On Monday night the per-
formance was commencod with the' Rose of Ettrick
Vale." Mr. E. Oliver, as Steeney, acted remark-
ably well as also did Mr. Bosworth as Brand of the
Brea, Mr. Nicklin as Albert, Mr. Bourne as Red
Ronald and Mr. Beddal as Guy. Miss Reeves and
Miss Thorley again delighted their audience by
the manner in which they acted the parts cf Lau-
rette and Jebsie. Messrs. Whitehouse, Malpas,
Johnston, Walters, and Wilson also took part in
the performances.
