in the evening. The dwarfs are three in number, tree males and a
emale (brothers and sister) • they are fully equipped in the High-
taut garb, and perform a series of national, martial, and festive
dances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the
celebrated Gille Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary is
the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry
two 561 b. weights about the room. Ile and his brother exhibit all
the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do
honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other
accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their-sister, sing the
beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling.
As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his
protection, can (in consequence of ids other engagements) remain but
a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are
requested to pay an early visit.
Admission from Twelve to Two and from Three to Five o'clock,
