On Thursday of last week f. l., Davenport
played HAMLET in the Danville Opera House
A special train went down from the country
and on it were nearly hundred "rustcs" from
Bloomsburg and vicinity at least there was one
man in the audience who so considered the
Bloom delegation. lie was Il snob, from the city
of Danville. The people Of whom he spoke as
being 'from the country were the representa-
tives of the best families in this town, and
among them, gentlemen of state and national
reputation Well there are some people down
there, who having never been out OF their town
limits, imagine that Bloomsbury and Columbia
county are suburbs of Danville and that there
re only two cities in the State to wit; Phila'
delphia and Danvile. "iou think the rustic
cackle of your burg the murmur OF the world
Without the country pumpkins on the special
train even the unlimited population OF that
great metropolis (of Montour co., would have
been insufficient to fill the Opera House,
The Kindness of Mr.. Peter Badly Jr, in ai-
fording our citizens an opportunity to hear
Davenport, was fully appreciated, but much dis
satisfaction has been expressed al the miserable
management of the rail road company, and
particularly at the impudence of some OF the
EMPLOYEES on the train, The passengers found
the seats unturned in the car, after the thealer,
and much Inconvenience was expe rleneed IN

have done before. We have an Opera House,
