OLYMPIC THtATIM.

- -
Miss Kate Howard has amply redeemed the pledge
whieli she gob when she opened this theatre. Bhe has
restored to it the high Character which it formerly held.
By securing the services bf Mf. and Mrs. Walter Lacy
she has completed her corps dramaliqtlt, ttird a company
which, in addition to those talented artistes, numbers
Amon its members James Browne, George Wild, Cock-
till, Binge, Miss L. Melville, and though last, not least in
our esteem, the fair manageress herself, Miss Kate Howard,
may, without vanity, arrogate to itself the title of the
most complste vaudeville company In the metropolis.
The new vaudeville Who is She? bids fair to become
one of the most popular pieces ever produced. Who is
Shet That is a question, reader, which, in fairness to
the management, we must refuse to answer. Inquire
at the Olympic, and we can promise you a fund
of entertainment in your endeavour to discover
who she is. Miss Kate Howard, as Captain
Charlotte, mounts guard every night, and com-
mands the applause and laughter of a delighted audience,
who after assisting, as our neighbours oufre.msr would
phrase it, at the revels of the Boy Bacchus, pay
homage to the Railway King, George—not Hudson, but
Wild. What a glorious John Reevey personation is
the Sam Stag of Wild. He is none of your petty-
larceny title stealers—he is no non-contributing F.R.S.
—no unqualified Esquire ; he goes " the entire animal,"
and, usurping a kingdom at once, figures away among
the members of a Provisional Railway Committee as his
Majesty the King of Madagascar. He is a stag of the
first head ; it is only after a glorious run that he is
hunted down, and even then he stands at bay nobly, as a
high-minded stag should do. All lovers of fun should
attend the levee of the Railway King at the Olympic.

NEWFOUNDLAND.--A fever of an alarming type
has been raging since the middle of the summer in various
parts of this bay, particularly on the north shore, where, in
some of the settlements, the destruction of human life has
been very considerable. From all we have been enabled to
gather as to the origin of the disease it seems traceable to
one of the Irish passenger-vessels that ar,rived in St. John's
last spring. We have received some very stroq• communi-
cations upon the subject, and although we cannot ix; ex-
pected to enter into all the views and feelings of those whottl-
friends and relatives have been so prematurely cut off, yet
we are free to confess that aohighly culpable degree of
negligence has been manifested by the local authorities for
many years past in reference to those vessels, which, in
numerous instances, have been allowed to land their pas-
sengers without, we fear, the slightest inquiry or investi-
gation being made as to their health or otherwise. 'Within
the last five or six years numbers of our population have
been swept away by malignant fevers introduced in this
manner, • and we are fully persuaded that a large proportion
of the unfortunate mendicants who are now solely depend-
ent upon public charities for subsistence have been re-
duced to this extremity by personal or family afflictions, re-
sulting from the negligence of those whose business it has
been to prevent, if possible, the introduction among us of
much contagious disorders.—Harbour Grace Herald.
THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAIL-
wAY.—The inquest on the body of the policeman Stubbs,
who died in consequence of injuries received in a collision
caused by a pilot engine on the 20th of October, was com-
menced at Leeds on Monday, but adjourned for a weak in
order to procure evidence.
