A Card.

1t has come to our knowledge that
since the members ofthe Ravenna Sill
yer Cornet Band decided to disband,
an impression has prevailed that the
Band took this position in conse-
uuence of feeling on our part, toward
the people, for the reason that we had
not received pecuniary assistance to
meet liabilities incurred. This i'm
preston is not only erroneous, but it
is re lily unjust. Before creating the
indebtedness mentioned the Band cer-
tainly had reason to expect assistance.
The debt was created, and the expect
ed aid did not come, and it was
thought best, after proper delibera-
ton, to adjust the liability incurred,
surrender the instruments to the trus-
tees authorized to receive them, cut
off expenditure, until the old debt
could be paid. In coming to this cong
clusion we disclaim all i'll feeling to-
ward the citizens of Raveppa, or any
of them, and we hereby make recogni.
ton of the generosity which on many
occasions has been shown us. If, at
any time, arrangements can be made
to enable us to liquidate the amount
we owe, there is a disposition upon
our part to reorganize, if it is thus
shown to us that the people care to
have a band maintained in Ravenna.
Respectfully, &c.
RAvENNA SILVER CoRNET BAND.

A sad Occurrence.

The death of Miss LACEY, teacher
in the second grade of the Fourth
Ward School, is one of the saddest
events in this season of sickness and
sorrow. She was q lovely and ac-
complished young lady, very much
endeared to all her acquaintances, and
there is general sorrow among the
pupils and teachers of the public
schools, and her large circle Of friends
in consequence of her death. She Is
supposed to have contracted the small
pox in carriage which conveyed her
to q party at the house OF friend.
The disease assumed its continent
type, and she died in great suffering.
1t is one of the mysteries Of the deeds
of the common enemy, Death, that ne
so often, passes by those whom the
world can well spare, and robs us OF
the most fair and beautiful.--Louss-
cile paper. III ss ra9.s

1t has seldom been our good for
tune to witness so interesting an en-
tertainment as was presented to the
theater-goers Of Aurora on Wednes-
day and Thursday evening, January
22d and 23d. Our large hall was fill
ell to its utmost capacity, all turned
out en- masse except a few of the Re
ligio Ple6ecula who were of course
not expected to go.
Ernest Maltravers was on the bills
for Wednesday evening. The princi-
pal attractions were the characters of
Richard Darville, the Robber chief
tain Ernest Maltrayers, the hero. and
Alice Darville, the Robbers daughter.
The first mentioned was personated
by Mr.. A. G. Lacy. It was bold
undertaking for a young actor to
attempt to present to- the public this
daring character; but Mr.. Lacy is an
actor of striking merit, and did well
his part. Miss Huldah A. Lacy, as Al
ice paryille, Mrs. L. S. Fowler, as
Lady Florence, and Mrs. Ella Hickox
as Octave, were beautifully rendered.
MIL. =. GOWloE db LEu6eG h1aitf8V6F6,
Mr.. o. f. Hickox as Sir w. W.Maltravers,
and G. M. Taylor as Lumley Ferrers,
were well personified. The minor
characters were all carefully played,
making the evening entertainment
one of the most enjoyable of the sea-
son. 2sii - la E.af2t
In the play entitled East Lynne,
given on Thursday evening, the per-
sonification of Lady Isabel by Mrs.
f. A. Gould; of Barbara Hare, by
Mrs. L. S. Fowler; of Miss Carlyle, by
Miss Ella j. Blair, and Of Joyce, by
Miss .. e. Hickox, were without
fault. Little Willie by Master Johnny
Blackman was captivating and drew
the tears from many an eye.
The Farces were well executed and
kept the house in an uproar contin-
unlly.
AT the earnest solicitation of our
citizens, the troupe will repeat the two
plays on February 9th and 9Th, when
we hope to see delegation from your
village, as we think you could not do
better than to secure the services of
the troupe to play in your Opera

CoMING.-As will be seen by adver-
tisement in another column, Mr.. Nc
Kee Rankin, with his excellent Com
bination, will present to the people of
Ravenna, at the Opera House, the
popular play of Rip Van Winkle.-
The company has established an ex-
cellent reputation, and Mr.. Rankin, in
the character of Rip Van Wrinkle. is
regarded as fully equal to Mr.. Jeffer-
son. From the many commendatory
notices of the press we copy the fol-
lowing from-the, Toledo Sun of Dec.
l, 1872:
"Mr. Mckee Rankin appeared at
Wheeler's Opera House in this city
for four nights, ending November 28.
Mr.. Mckee Rankin is an artist of un-
usual merit, and in his great speciality
of Rip Van Wrinkle, we candidly
think he rivals Jefferson, and in the
last act even rises superior. We haye
seen the character performed proba-
bly, score of times by Baron Hacket,
and Joseph Jefferson, aud Mckee
Rankin's conception of the character
suits us best, especially in the act we
have designated. If Mr.. Mckee Ran
kin can perform the role of dozen
characters as well as he enacts Rip
Van Wrinkle, he can build up tower
ing reputation with the best critics in
the land. His audience at the Opera
House increased nightly"

Tribute of Respect.

At q meeting of the teachers of the
Fourth Ward School, Louisville, KY,
held January 16, 1873, in the Princi-
pals room, the following expressions
of respect for the memory of Miss
SUE M. LACEY, and of sympathy for
her bereayed relatives, were adopted :
Words are feeble IN their power to
express the sadness occasioned by the
death of our dear young friend and
associate, Miss SUE M. LACEY.
/ Bright and fair in person, cheerful
and Kind in disposition, and i'll the
bloom OF youth, life to her was very
sweet and pleasant; but beauty, nor
loveliness, nor youth, could stay the
hand of the Reaper, who reaps alike
the blushing flower and bearded
grain" =
Having lost her father in early child
hood, her mother applied herself with
singular. devotion TO the tack of i'm
planting and culturing i'll her mind
and heart those virtues which ever
adorn a perfect womanhOod. And
generously did she reward her moth
er's care and answer her fondest hopes,
as with simple faith and brave heart
she MET her duties as an affectionate
daughter, devoted sister, and an ear
nest and efficient teacher, becoming
the idol of her home and OF all who
knew her. fEE
Il Her cheerfulness, energy and enthu-
siasm gave her peculiar power over
her pupils, and visit to her school
room ever inspired us with renewed
interest in our work.
While we deeply deplore our loss,
we offer our tenderest sympathy to
her mother and sister, earnestly hoping
that they may soon rise from the shock
of grief which now overwhelms them,
and find peace and comfort in the be-
lief that her death was but the per-
fection of a beautiful spirit and the
entrance to a higher life.
