But at its close, we confidently say that if
the formation of a public library in our

the single proviso being if true amateur

not time on this occasion to say what we

This made very interesting, anu at
times decidedly impressive and thrilling
play. The characters We're all very well
taken, the only exception to be taken being
in the fact of indistinctness in speaking,
which will doubtless be rcmedied in the fu-
ture. To Mr.. Owen in the part of Peter
Probity, the chandler, we must give much

acted with great naturalncss anI consider

touching scene at the absence of his son
and in the happiness manifested at his re-
turn, demonstrated much aptitude for the

lineaton of the heiress as was also Mrs.
Pond as Mrs Probty. The part of the
centurion was very well taken, as regards
make up and voice, by Mr. Cady Mr.
Baxter played well the part of John, while
