The presentation of the celebrated
burlesque operatta. Prpila, Mt Lincoln
Hall last Tuesday evening, by the young
Misses connected with tho Oxiord Nor

the South Paris Dramatic Club. was
especially worthy of commcndalion \
large audience filled the Hall com.
posed almost entirely OF our villagers :;
so short was the notice that but few came
in from out the place. This audience
was mainly drawn by the good report
given of the performance of that operata
at South Paris on Friday oy eung, by
a large delegation OF our citizens who
listened to it at that place.

Much credit is due Miss Jennie Taylor,

who adapted the music to each part in

it ready. Miss Taylor is splendid

in Pepita could hardly be excolled.
Much credit is also due Miss Mary Favor.
