DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.

The Performance at the D. s. @. B. Hall,
Tuesday night, Complete Success
House crowded and Everybody Pleas
ed---A Considerable Amount raised for
the Inundated Sufferers.
So seldom is there any amusement
for the public in Donaldsonville or
the vicinity, that the announcement
of a dramatic entertainment to be
given by a troupe of amateurs on
Tuesday night, was received with
general appreciation. The doors of
the ID. S. c. B. Hall were thrown open
at halt-past seven o'clock in the
evening, the st. Cecille Band struck
up one of their soul stirring airs and
the people began rapidly assembling.
By the time the performance began the
hall was literally crowded; the seats
scarcely sufficing to accommodate the
ladies, numbers of gentleman were
compelled to stand, and every avail
able square foot of floor held hunan
being.
The programmes stated that the
French comedy would be put upon
the stage first, but the managers
thought the English play, a comedy
in three acts entitled 100000, more
fitting to commence with, as it was
the longer, and consequently the
performance began with the latter.
At about eight the curtain rose, dis
covering parlor in the rear of Mr..
Barlow's shop, and Mrs. Barlow in
the act of receiving call from Miss
Jane Plover and Miss Arabella Pell,
two tradesmen's daughters. Mrs. NJ.
Israel took the character of Mrs. Bar
low and her rendition of it was ex-
ceilent, showing thorough study of
the part, and a perfect knowledge of
all the little stage attributes that are
so necessary TO make acting effective.
Her appearance on the stage in each
act was the signal for loud and con-
tinued applause from the audience,
who seemed to fully appreciate her
hi<trionic talents. Miss NJ. Hanson,
as Jane Plover and Mrs. Blum as
Arabella Pell, carried the hearts of
the spectators by storm, and, although
these are minor persohages in the
piece, so effectnallF did they render

A little tug, containing supply OF
DR.. McLean's patent vegetable pills,
vernifuge, ETC., landed at this place
a few days ago, but the vendor of
these advertised cure alls did not
seem to drive very thriving business
in our healthy village. In fact We
do not think he succeeded in doing
any thing, except leave flaming ad-
vertisement of the numerous virtues
and healing properties of his wares
on one of the fences on Mississippi
street. DIR. Mclean should be made
aware of the fact that the only vermi-
fuge used by Donaldsonyillians is the

enable him to acorm himselfin their

Mr.. Raphael Mouse has rugged up
one of his skiffs in quite an elegant
manner, and the little Emma cuts
through the water as graceful as a
swan, and with as much ease and
swiftness as one of Malloney's best
make. Mr.. Mouse is an old sailor
and manages his little craft with the
greatest dexterity. We had the
pleasure of taking a ride with him
the other evening, and the little YES
sci glided along in such smooth and
pleasant manner, that We imagined
we were once more in n trim little
yacht, flying before stiff breeze, on
lake Ponchartrain, and actually felt
as we could sniff the fresh sea air,
and see the dark blue salt water
dashing against the side of the boat.
