in diameter. The balance is of pop-
Iar auu maple. .-. I-e '.ss.
When everything was ready an eff
fort was made to raise it, but when
nearly half way up, it broke short off,

"THEDRUMMER Boy. "1"ThcDrum-
mel, Boy : was presented for the sec
ond time last night to a very large
audience. We cannot speak of indi-
vidHals who took part in its produce
ton, but only in general terms of
of them. We feel sure that we are
but repeating the verdict of all who
were there last night, when we say
that this series of the most thrilling
tableaux, perhaps ever presented on
the stage, was loetl executed last night,
aud that to each individual performer
much. credit j. due. The scene
at the house of Farmer How
ard, the quarrel, the apparation,
the firing on Fort Sumter; the up
rising EOrlTia Poo Ils,s we're arr present
ed in such manner as to reflect great
credit on the amateurs. In the Sec
ond act, the biVouae of Union forces,
the letter from home, the tableau,
soldiers dream, rebellion, the adven-
lures of a spy, the faithfulness Of a
colored servant, the court martial,
the final escape of the spy. and his re-
turn to the Union lines With his faith
ful Joe, and the grand tableau, were
all well executed, and With splendid
effect. -
In the third act. thee Gonfederate :"
camp. the report of battle. the bat
tie scene and the closing tableau
were all thrilling in thelextreme.J &
In the fourth act. the ba ttle6eld Of
Sniloh,I the horrors of the fights the
appearance of the Sisters of Chair
ty," the Drummer Boy y fate, and
the closing tableau dreYqtears from
many an eye that Witnessed the scene.
Ia. the fifth act, Farmer Howard's
house, the news of the battle, arrival
of Harry and Uncle Joe, Anderson
Vile prison, the arrival of Federal
troops, the revenge. and the tableau
of Guardian Angels, was truly the
most thrilling and affecting of all the
scenes. '4
In the next and closing act, the
Grlough, the song, the. vacant chair,
the surrender of Lee. the return Of
the Regiment, and the fnal grand
tableau of States, and the Regiment,
all were presented in magnificent
style.
To appreciate this thrilling series
of tableaux, they must be seen.
Every soldier and citizen should see
them. To the soldier it would be
living over for time what he endured
for the flag; and to the citizen il will
be wildly portrayed to him what
suffering their some endured. Do not
fail to see the tableaux tonight.
