The Opera House.

Miss Katie Estele is winning golden
laurels at this old time place of amusement.
Eleven years ago she made many friends
here, and they have not forgotten her. But
apart from Miss Katie, the management
have been successful in their selection Of an
excellent corps of talented performers,
whose names are well known to lovers of
the drama. But want of space forbids our
mentioning personal points. The nightly
performances are of an entertaining char
acter and deserve the patronage of an in
telligent public. The programme for to
night, consisting of the beautiful drama of
"The ept-of-the-Wishto WISH" and the
laughable farce of the s'Spectre Bride
groom" ought TO fill the house to over
flowing.
