SEVERE CRITICISM OF THE PAREPA TROUPE.
The Newark Conrier, of Saturday, describes
performance, or rather performance, of the
Parepa-Rosa troupe, in that city,on the previous
evening. 1t says;
"This troupe has not appeared in this city
since its organization and filed to entirety the
full bill of their performance as advertised.
Either the opera has been changed, or some
prominent artist prevented from appearing
through indisposition Cindispostion' is good),
or something or other has happened to interfere
with the advertised programme. Such being the
case the persons who had provided themselves
with tickets for the performance of Tampa, ad-
vertised for last evening, were not very much
surprised at the inevitable apology from the
director, this time something as follows Ladies'
and Gentzlemen ! am placed in ze most unfor-
tunats position. Ie baggezman of re troupe is
sick, and has sent us 20 wrong box of music. We
cannot do the opera of " Tampa =" without de

show one of the most wicked attempts to dis

the law have been most shamefully disregarded,

more consideration than the idle wind The par

CHARTER FOR ITS EXTENSION.

1t is now understood that the Pennsylvania

II was mentioned in our columns, seme time

tween Oxford and Peachbottom runs directly
by the birthplace Of Robert Fulton, to whom,
(whether with Justice to Evans, and Fitch, or
not the honor is accorded of inventing the
