temple burned to tie ground, leaving the
Company without an abiding place In this emery
ency they resolved to remain together, and having
received offers OF the most nattering engagements

west OF Boston, they accepted, and have appeared
in the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Springfield,
Providence, &c, to crowded and delighted au-
dience; indeed, the name of Mr.. John L. Hall and
the corps of Artists under his management has
become familiar household words.
Mr.. Hall purposes to establish circuit, appear
ing IN each city four times year, and having
proved thst the citizens OF Augusta appreciate a
legitimate and proper organization, he has con-
Guided to revisit this city previous the departure
of the Company for Hilifax and ST. Johns on the
18th OF the present month.
Hoping endeavors may meet with your sup
port and with the assurance upon our part that
everything shall be done to contribute to your en-
joyment,
We remain the Publics most obediert Servants,
