THE AMArEuRs. The Amateur Dramatic
Club Of this city gave an entertainment to
large and appreeiatise audience on Easter
Monday night The performances commenced
with the rendering Of the Spectre Bride
groom, or a Ghost in Spite Of Himself in
say that called for the admiration Of all pres.
cut. Miss Maud Pearson, as l.ayinia, entered
into the spirit Of her part with zeal and ability.
Mrs. Nanderford. although, as we learn, en-
tirely unprepared, distinguished herself By
her graceful and intelligent rendering Of the
part OF Georgianna. The male characters
we're ably represented by Messrs. Billingslea,
Newson, Cheney, Winters, Grouse and Baum
gartner.
Mr.. H. ID. Newson, as Squire Aldwinkle,
performed his part so we'll that we found it
difficult to persuade ourselves that il was
young man performing the part.
Mr.. Louis Winters, as Dickory, was really
good. and couldn't have represented deir
dedly frightened man better ii he had had q
severe attack Of ague.
The farce was followed by " Toodles,' in
which Mr.. Winters performed his part cred,
itably, but not near so well as he did that Of
Dickory in the farce. Mr.. B. 4. Grouse, as
George Acorn, disappointed and revenge
ful 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 hispart. Mrs. Vanderford impersona-
ton Of Mary exhibited keen and 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 il 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
Billineslea, and We don't known which to nd
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 mach pleasure, and we have
no hesIiancy in saying that we have seen
much worse amongst professionals. -Seatinei.

InPRovFnExrs. 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 disgrace to any
civilized community, as they we're filed with
all manner Of vulgar caricatures and obscene
rhymes. The Commissioners will have placed
IN the room warning notice to those who
indulge in such pastime, and will enforce the
law TO its full extent on all who may 10 any
way deface the public property.
10 the Clerk and Register Offices the old
dilapidated. venetian blinds have been re-
placed BY venetian shutters, which are far
more preferable and convenient.
