consequence, poor overburthened hu'
man nature gave way beneath the life

a printer working in this
ofiice-and when sober, a gentlemen
of the true Southern type, where ne
had spent near ten years OF Rls earlier

who passed him through the lines

which he volunteered iuto the Unior

troupe, BELL Ringers, Nocalists, Vio-

one and has made very creditable
record, as reported by the papers of
the towns through which they have
passed. They do give lively and en-
tertaining performance, but il is lit
tie innocent deceit to advertise it as
bell ringing and vocalism. They play
two or three tunes Oil the bells just
we'll enough for an excuse to display
set before their audiences, and the
best of their vocalism is only tolerable,
But they have very fine orchestra of
six pieces and good brass band, all Of
made subsidiary to the proteaD per-
formances of Charley Austin and wife.
This jolly couple give some character
sketches admirably, Charley being un-
usually good at some humorous per-
sonifcations, as well as at jig and clog
dancing. One Of the gentlemen Of

ance upon the concertina, which re-

entertainment was very good one,
being remarkably free from the gross
ness in which variety troupes are
