The excellent temperance Drama,
Ten Nights in a Bar Room, was pre-
sented by the Mantua Dramatic Club
at the Station on Friday evening last.
A crowded house welcomed the ap-
pearance of this celebrated troupe OF
artists on this occaeion. and the task
of delineating the evils and ruinous
effects of an indulgence in alcoholic
drinks, was never more successfully
performed. The splendid acting OF
Mr.. A. Nichols and of Mrs. Jennie
Blair, and her sister as Joe Morgan,
Mrs. Morgan and Little Mary, togeth-
er with the inimitable representation
of Switched by j M. Crafts, are sell
dom equalled by amateur performers.
Every grog seller and every tippler
should be specially invited to attend
such exhibitions and and see ssthe mir
ror held up to nature" and possibly
have their blunted and scared con-
sciences awakened to the results OF
this debasing and soul destroying trat-
fic. which must be banished from
among as, and all friends OF the peace
and good order of society will wei
come this performance as valuable
auxiliary in the work. The Club
will again present the same drama, to
be followed by a new farce on Satur
day evening next, at the same place.
Citizens Hall, Mantua Station.
The numerous friends of. Rev. o.
Blake recently paid him donation
visit. and assembling at the town hall,
had a good time generally, the oysters
and fxins disappearing as usual, in
such cases made and provided. At
the departure of the crowd the Elders
heart was made to rejoice in the pos.
session of sundry substantial testiuio-
mails of respect and esteem, neatly en-
grayed on fine greenbacked pape. 3
and representing distinguished mem
bers of the so-called Republican party
all having nominal and current val
ue and extremely useful in these days.
Rev. Mr.. White, revivalist of some
celebrity, is engaged in holding q se-
ries of meetings at the Disciple Church
with view of enlarging the borders
of Zion in this locality. His discourse
on Sunday last was a powerful and
heart stirring appeal to the church to
examine the character of their own
righteousness, and see that it bore no
resemblance to that of the scribes and
pharisees of olden time. The Ortbo-
dox plan of salvation for sinners will
be fully developed in succeeding dis
courses, and that the sinners of Man
tua, (several in number) will then
have no reasonable excuse for living
i'll a lost and ruined condition. Nav
success crown his efforts, and peace.
harmony and love, be the result of his
labofs among us.
