| Master Burke closes his engagement this eve
ming at the fremont Theatre. which from begin
ming to end. has been productive OF more pleas
ure to the manager and to the public, than any
we have ever heard. read of, or seen.
For twenty-five nights, this astonishing child
has performed both in the play and the farce witt
like success, and afforded unqualified gratiiica
ton to crowded and most fashionable houses.
The powers of Master Burke seem not to have
suffered in the least from the continued eNertions
he has made. and his vivacity and spirit are as
unbounded as the satisfaction he has afforded to
the community. Old people and young. rich
and poor, have witnessed his powers. and all may
safely assert that they ''ne'er shall look upon
his like again ''-Bosf. Pat.
