Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, after a
most suecessful tour in Ireland, made their re-appear-

come. The piece selected was the successful trifle en-
titled " The Customs of the Country," and although we
have frequently witnessed its performance, we last evening
relished it as much as on its first representation. Mrs.
Williams' song of "My Mary Ann" created the usual
furore, and at the termination of the play the Wanted
couple were called forward to receive the congratulations
of a crowded and &lighted audience.

the evidence on which it is founded, and have determined
