A Brsr DAv.--There were more people in
Westminster last Monday than we have seen
here for long time. From the time the
several offices in the Court House were open
ed until late in the afternoon, they were
crowded with persons, all Of whom, as mat.
ter Of course, wanted to be waited on first.
The FIRST Monday Of April is, to great ex-
toni, settling day in money circles; on that
day mortgages and notes are given, payable
from six months to two or three years hence.
We received paying visits from some Of our
friends, and hope those who we're unable to
come up then will do so shortly.

INPRovExEsrs.-The Commissioners have
had the Petit Jury Room and the main Hall
Of the Court House repainted. The walls Of
the Petit Jury Room were a disgrace to any

in the room warning notice to those who
indulge in such pastime, and will enforce the
law 10 its full extent on all who may in any
ray deface the public property.

The ANATKuRs. The Amateur Dramatic
Club Of this city gave an entertainment to a
large and appreciative audience on Easter
Monday night. The performances commenced
with the rendering Of the Spectre Bride
groom, or Ghost in Spite Of HIMSELF in a
way that called for the admiration of all pres.
eat. Miss Maud Pearson, as Layina, entered
into the spirit Of her part with zeal and ability.
Mrs. Vanderford, although, as we learn, en-
tirely nnprepared, distinguished herself by
her graceful and intelligent rendering of the
part OF Georgianna. The male characters
were ably represented by Messrs. Billingslea,
Newson, Cheney, Winters, Grouse and Baum
gartner.
Mr.. H. d. Newson, as Squire Aldwinkle,
performed his part so well ti.at we found it
difficult to persuade ourselves that it was a
young man performing the part.
Mr.. Louis Winters, as Dickory, was really
good. and couldn't have represented de3t
dedlt frightened man better If be had had a
severe attack Of ague.
The farce was followed BY "Toodles,' III
which Mr.. Winters performed his part cred
itably, but not near so well as be did that Of
hickory in the farce. Mr.. b. r. Grouse, as
George Acorn, a disappointed and revenge
full man, acted his part with spirit. Mr.. Hugo
L, Fiddis performed the part Of old Farmer
Acorn well, and avoided the mistake OF over
doing his part. Mrs. Vanderford impersona-
ton Of Mary exhibited keen aud intelligent
appreciation of the character, which could
not fail to win the applause of the entire au-
dience. Mr.. George Gehr, as Lawyer Glib,
was appropriately dressed for the part, and
performed it with professional accuracy.
The cream OF the whole affair, however, we
must confess, was Mr.. and Mrs. Toodles, per.
formed by Miss Mary Roop and Mr.. Louis
Billingslea, and we don't known which to adj
mire the most, Toodles drunk or Toodles so.
Der, they were both inimitable.
| We have not generally enjoyed amateurthe.
atricals, but this effort Of the Dramatic Club
was the source of much pleasure, aud we have
no hesitancy in saying that we have seen
much worse amongst professionals. - Seatinei.
