Mr.. 5. L. Rice, of Milwaukee, formerly

A business man packed up his traps and

The Fifth Avenue Theatre Combination,
at Darts Hall, last evening, drew fine
audience aud gave excellent satisfaction

/ An exchange says the hogs, at this sea
son, should have plenty of sulphur and pow
dered charcoal given TO them in their food
The other ingredient of gunpowder-salt

by giving the hog box of fraction matches

We always feel large degree of pity for
the father and mother who bring then
baby to theatre or concert room. and very
decided Indignation towards the door keep
+ er for admitting them. Children in arms
should never be admitted to places of pub
, lie entertainments is an insult to th'
b whole audience and to the actors, for tn
baby always cries in the wrong place. |
parents have 10 more respect for the feel
ings of the audience than to destroy th
comfort of house full of people, the.
should be taught some lessons in publ
propriety.
