cording to previous announcement the Good

on Tuesday evening last, at the eourt.house, the
popular drama Of Ten Nights in Bar-Room.
All needful preparations had been made for
bringing Il out in a satisfactory manner. A
commodious stage had been erectedi appropri-
ate scenery procured, seats provided, aud the
The young gentlemen and ladies who were to
persOnate the diaeren, characters bad prae,iced
in rehearsal until all were familiar With their
respective parts.
We have not time 10 review the performance
in detail. but can affirm With the utmost conf.
deuce that IL was not only creditable but high.
" satisfactory. We have heard but one ex.
preston upon its merits aud that being Of une-
quivocal commendston. Where all did so well
It would be iavidious to parteularize, yet we
may be excused for stating thstth death sceue
OfMARr MbReAS,was most touchiugly pres ,nted
and drew tears from most eyes, God bless the
dear girl. s,t..,-,. ....
On Wednesday evening Il was re-eaacted aud
iu some respects impfoved3 especially in the
drNnkcH scene Of SkSrLs aud The Injury to
MANY. This inight bo anticipated as the act
ors would become less timid and embarrassed
the Oftener they pcseuted themselves before a
public audience. "a -
The courtroom was well filled on both even
i8gs, LougLnot crowded on either. We should
have been weu pleased to have seen more there
on both occasions. The enterprise is deserving
the cordial support Of all good citizens.
othe organization OF tue Good Templars, no
right thinking person can take an exception. 1t
IS founded in pure philanthrophy its only mis-
siou to do good, especially the rescde of young
men from the miseries Of druukard's life. The
reclamstio ON of one person is beyond all colnpn-
tation iu dollars aud cents and we know that
the Perrysburg Society has been successful in
this direction.
The societyis somewhat ia debt for Hall rent
and other necessary expenses, ana have adopted
these means to Hquidate itsthligatiuns and get
little surf lus, it possible, into its treasury
1t should be borne ia mind that its mSmbers
give their tiple and eGntribute quarterly dues
solely Tor the benefit of their fellow creatures,
and without any reward save an approving cnn-
science. 1t is the duty of all to aid them in
their e1nrts OF love.
They will, this evening, again enact the play
and we hope who have not heretofore attended,
Will do 50 upon this occasion. We should be
pleased also to see others there who have al
ready witnessed it. They will nut only spend
the evening pleasantly, but have the conscious
qualification uI aiding in the support OF Il most
worthy enterprise. We hope 10 see the house
crowded this evening. None too poor to u0ard
twenty cents in this labor OF love, especial
ly as they have returned to them in intellectual
eljoyment more than their moneys worth.
Turn out friends, turn OUT and fill the room to
overhewiug. Show that you eau and do appre-
ca,ca good thing. a,..,
IT any one is 50 circumstanced that he or she
can not attend, give quarter to soue worthy
boy or girl and send her or him the money
viii aid the society Just as greatly, and the les
son taught, do the youth good.
The performance will close this evening with
Il familiar scene from the Black Crook"
