B. S Haskell formerly of this town,
writes us from Waterloo, P Q. stating
that he is still in the concert business.
and has been travelling west of Toronto,
and also in the Eastern Townships, with

way to the Junction sometime in March
probably about the middle of the
month. We give below a couple of local
items taken from Canada papers where

Neil Burgess was simply inimitable, and
brought down the house with roars of
applause. We are glad to learn that
