Mcssrs. Jarrett g. Palmer Of Niblo's Garden
have lately been In negotiation for the purchase OF
Booths Theaer, and there is thnk-as

will finally pass into their hands The theater has
heavily taxed the resources-of all kinls0f those who

MR. TooLE.
Our readers were informed, some time ago,
that the English comedian. Mr. Toole, purposet TO visit
America the Summer OF 1874 The requisite arrange
ments for appearance in this country have since
been completed. He will appear in this city, at Wal
lacks Theater IN the latter part OF the Summer season
Mr. TOoe upon the British STAGE holds relatively the
rank that is held in this country by owens, or
Warren, j. s. Clarke He is strong IN dro character
parts aud low comedy and his performances will appeal
10 the American public through the medium Of some
juicier humor than has been displayed upon
stage the merry days of Burton and Blake. Innate
comcality has made Mr. Toole great fayorte at home
and there is no reason doubt that it will commend
him bounteous acceptance abroad. The doorwaysof
public heart always stand wide open the who
makes laughter Tor his fellow-creatures
