The Catholic society of st. Pauls talk of hav-
ing fair sometime during the month of Octo-
her, to continue several days. Among the prom
inent features will be an attendance of the Mont
gomery Guards from Boston, and exercises Of a
literary character by the Grattan association of
this city.

The work of Street Commissioner Parker on
block paving aud new curb and sidewalks, it is
now much more worthy of its name than it has
been for many years. The cost of the new
paving, which extends up the hill as far as
Chestnut street was about $500.
Lawrence Barrett, who appears at the theatre
tonight as "The Man O'Aire,' should have an
appreciatiye welcome, for, if we may believe all
that is said in his praise by Providence and Sy-
IA use papers, he ranks as one of the best actors
on our stage. The play selected for to-night's
representation gives scope for the display of the
most tendergrace and utmost pathos, the sweet
est portraiture of qnct domcsticity, and is one in
which he is winning a fame similar to that of
Jefferson in Rip Van Wrinkle We are glad to
see also that the supporting company is deemed
by the papers from which we quote worthy of
almost equal praise to Mr.. Barrett himself We
shall therefore expect tonight a fine audience
aud first class dramatic entertainment.
