"HUMBUG OPERATE TRoUPE."-We were
unable to attend the exhibition given Saturday
afternoon by the young ladies' of the High
School, but hear it spoken of in terms of COM
mendation, and the wish is expressed that il
may be repeated in some more convenient
place. The performances were pronounced as
remarkably good and the music as excellent.
By all means let us have it again in the City
Hail. The "Humbugs" at home will find they
can fill that hall as well as those from abroad.
We have received the following note from
the committee:
"On Saturday afternoon, at the burlesque
opera, through some mistake or misunder.
standing, many holding tickets were unable
to gain admittance, and some with reserved
seats were obliged to stand. The Troupe felt
exceedingly sorry, and to all who suffered these
Inconvenience will refund the money, if de-

powering State officers to seize all firearms

anxious to testify their last token of respect to

they will be placed by the side of those of her
deceased husband. Thus has passed from
