Mrs. Fitzgerald as Joan, fully sus-
tanned her past reputation here as
an amateur actress and her acting
was perfect. Two of the young ID
dies, Miss Williams as Celia, and
Miss Goulden as Maude, made their
first appearance on the Amatuer
Stage on this occasion, and. we
must in, justice to them say, that
their performance was excellent
and freer from the embarrassment
that was naturally to be expected,
than their friends could have hoped.
They sustained their parts with
much credit to themselves and to
tho entire satisfaction Of their
friends and the audience generally,
as was evidenced by the frequent
applause and numerous boqucts
that greeted them and attended
them through tho entire per
forinance.
The tragic talent of Thos. Craw-
" Esq.,, is of the first order, and if
he chose to cultivate it, and adopt
tho profession of the stage, there
wonld avg pit him brilliant future
in that line. Ills rendition Of
WIZ Wateyly, was perfect, and was
greeted with frequent applause.
Mr.. William Leckie, as Clement
Danueys, fully understood his part,
and acted it well and forcibly.
Mr.. Jack Reilly as Jerry Jour
ninglam, was especially noticeable
for the correctness and perfection
OF his acting. Mr.. Biossat Rachal
as Lieut.. mrington and Simon
Levi, gave us the very picture Of
the originals for which the charac-
aters were intended. and his thor
ough conception of the parts and his
having perfectly learned them,
made his rendition of them worthy
Of particular notice. We observed
tho new appearance. Of Messrs.
VIM. Marsh and Jno. Graham, and
the re-appcarsnce OF Mr.. Francois
Bouillotte, in their several roles as
given above. They all performed
their parts well.
Our genial friend, David 7. Stat
ford Esq, was the Judge upon the
trial. and represented the maje sly
of the law with dignity and credit
to himself. The denoeunaent having
been reached, "The Skeleton at the
Mound" having been unearthed,
the death by his own hand 0 the
murderer, and tho free acquittal by
his confession, of Clement Danvers,
who has been suspected, and all
being happily arranged, the curtain
dropped upon The Skeleton Wit
ness amid deafening applause.
We were then favored with a
song by Mr.. Isaac Sackman, who
was encored and had to give us an
other. So we'll pleased were the
audience, that they yocifcrously
called for still another and contin-
ned to call, but the song was not
forthcoming, as it was getting very
late, and there was still to come
