drawn excellent houses. 1t is the compan-
ion piece Of the +" Cricket" by the same au.
thor, and like it, is indebted, in a great mea-
sure, for its success, to the exquisite acting Of
Miss Maggie Mitchell. 4 simple German
story as its plot, 1t breathes moral Amos
phcre, and abounds In virtuous incnlcations,
and is one of those dramas which all con pro-
htably witness. Miss Mitchell throws poet
ical interest around the simple orphan girl
/ which is positively bcwltching. Mr.. McVicker,
Mr.. Myers and Mr. Rainford, are all excellent
in their respective parts. The ladies are
equally good, and the mountings and music
en- scene are in excellent taste. It will be pre-
sented this evening, and on Friday it will be
| produced for the benefit Of Miss Mitchell
