Quoted, excepting in summer terms, On the stock

from that policy is contemplated The community would
be somewhat startled TO ascertain that the regular sea-

take TO be the actual fact Is that Miss Thompsons en-

Lima Edwin's Theater has reverted into the
possession Of Messrs. Kelly Leon, the we-knowD and
popular Minstrel Managers who will reopen 1t to night
with 6rst-cass Minstrel company Former successes

public recollection The sable buresques Of La Grande
Duchesse," " La Belle Helene" Barbe Blue" and Le
Petit Faust" very well done, under their manage
ment and afforded much amusement-besdes contribute
ing TO heap ridicule upon pemcious misuse OF the
beautiful art OF music Guarantee Of what they will now
dom the way Of furnishing good Minstrel entertain

done II IS hoped that the worthy enterprise OF MesSrs
