Rare Entertainment Judging from notices pub
lished In various newspapers, our citizens are
soon to enjoy a rare intellectual treat ia the en-
tertainment to be given at Metropolitan H all by
Miss Emma Stanley. Under the head of "Seven
Ages of Woman" this lady is said to exhibi. an
almost infinite variety of female characters, con-
Quoting her type of the fair sex from the arms of
the nurse to the easy chair of decrepid old age,
through the intermediate stages of the school, the
ball room, the scandal-surrounded-te tea table, and
the throne Of the mater familas If half as gifted
as she IL represented in advance to be, we have
no doub. that she will meet with the most liberal
encouragement from our citizens generally.

- Female Institute this evening" will no doubt

receive liberal and cordial support.
Banking facilities are said to be much needed in
