DRAMATIC ENTERrA1NMExr

EDITOR Sr. CLouD DEMocRAr.-<
Wednesday, the 9TH inst, was the &C.
casion of another Of those pleasant anl.
atcur theatrical entertainments to which
We are occasionally treated by the st.
Cloud Dramatic Club"
The performance was complete
success to whoever it may be due, We
cheeriuily give the credit o. marked
discrimination and good taste in the
assignments Of the parts to the different
performers and for the general arrange
ment Of the plays.
The comedy Of Paul Ply was the
first play upo" the programme; and it
IS seldom we will experience as much
keen enjoyment during the space Of
two and half hours as We did while
We listened to this performance. Paul
Pry is unfortunately very true type
ola very large class of people, aud his
many fortunate hits in this direction
were kecnly relishcd, while his discom-
futures in seeking to CRAFTY his med
dlesome propensity, provoked unbound
ed mirth. The character was taken by
Mr.. A. B. Curry. The consumnate
skill with which Mrs. Subtle, Miss
Mary G. MitchelD played her part, as
sisted somewhat by the personal at
trac ions Of the actress, almost caused
us to regret that success did not reward
her evil Vaccinations But the palm
VIC give to Colonel Hardy, not SO much
from the interest he excited, as from
the fact that his roll required an abso-
lutte devestment of the individual char
acteristics Of the gentleman, and he
succeeded admirably
The part of Witherton was becom-
ingly sustained by Mr. A. T. Whitman.
Mr.. Albert Wright, in the double
character of Doubledot and Old Stan
ley, did admirably, especially in his
PRESERVATION Of the old gentleman. MIR.
j. NJ. darlington played the ''lively
young spark" Harry, in a perfectly
natural character. Mr.. John lnman.
as the scheming Grasp, Mr.. John
Wright, as the nephew Of Col. Hardy,
travelling 'ncoy., Mr.. J. S. Mitchell, as
the prosecuted Somers, and Mr.. Linton
Noel, as Simon, each sustained their
parts very ereeitably. Miss Nellie
Whit'emore, in the character of Col
onel Hardy's daughter Eliza, and Miss
Jennie Mitchell, as her confidential
waiting-n aid, Phoebe, added in no small
degree to the general success of the
performance, while Miss Mamie Owen,
as the wife Of Somers, charmed all by
DCr ulSCluCC enumeration.
The entertainment of the evening
was closed with the Limerick Boy
This farce to be appreciated must be
seen.
Paddy Miles (R. G. Burdick, } was
inimitable; had Richard been, in veri.
ty, born on the bog and fed on praties
and buthermilk, he could not have
done better there were sore sides in
the house when ne bowed himself of
the planks. -

W Daily Reformer.
Orr TO 1HE WEsT.- In the press of polit-
ical matter and war news upon our columns
during the canvass pending the late general
election, We neglected to notice, (thoueh
We ''stuck pin there'') the recent resigna-
ton Of the Office Of Justice Of the Peace,
of our friend George ". Smith, of Chau-
mont, and his removal, with his family. to
st. Cloud-away up, on the head waters of
the Mississippi-in the new State of Min
ncsota-8O miles above St. Paul, and a long
shot beyond our travels. He had been re-
elected to the office Of Village Magistrate,
by the Union party of ChaumoDt, and we
had looked upon him as likely to admin. ster
law and justice among that people for long
period to come; but the hope of lettering
his condition, it seems, operated upon him
to make this radical change in his place Of
residence. The people Of the city of St
Cloud have reason to congratulate them
selves in the accession to their business
community Of our .'old time friend" as what
is our loss is their gain. He carries with
him our bsst wishes for his prosperity in
bu ,inesy, and 10. commend him TO the con-
fidence and sympathy Of the citizens Of st..
Cloud, as a man Of probity and honor, Of
sterling good seh:e and Of good business
capacity.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
CRAWFORD'S FURNITURE FACTO'
.RY AND THREE DWELLING
HOUSES BURNED.

On Monday morning, about six o'clock,
n fire was discovered in the rear of S. o.
Crawford's Furniture Factory, Oh Washing
ton avenue, above St. Germaine street.
The alarm was given and large Gro xd
soon collected, but strange t. say, mani
tested but little interest in the fate of the
property on fire or that endangered
The flames soon spread to nm adjoining
dwelling house, on the north, belonging to
Mr.. F. Monti. 1t was entirely consumed
Is we'll as it's contents.
The next building, belonging to Mr.
Joseph Kinder, and occupied by O. E.
Spear and John Getchell, was quickly con-
sumed by the flames. The furniture and
clothing were saved.
The FIRE still spread to another building,
owned and occupied by Mr.. Kinder, which
was entirely destroyed, with the exception
Of the contents.
1t was not until the greater portion of
the damage had been done that the FIRE en-
CINE was brought into action The delay
in procuring water, rendered it useless for
saving any Of the burning property, but it
proven ted the flames catching other build
iugs. The engine worked very .satisfacto-
rily. 1t is generally considered that the
dwelling houses aud much of Mr.. Craw-
forl's furniture might have been saved
by. proper exertion.
Mr.. Crawford estimates his loss at $4,000
No insurance.
