Costume ReeifaIs.

The entertainment given under the
above head, or the evenings of the 18th
and 18th inst, was certainly worthy of a
more liberal patronage than it received,
and, considering the small number pres
ent, we think Mamie Sargent and her as
sistants acted remarkably we'll. With
the limited encouragement shown them,
we cannot see how they could take any
more interest in their performance than
in an ordinary rehearsal
Our young people, we are sorry 10 say
seem to take more interest in the per
formance Of some of the leading sensa-
tional pieces of the day than in all enter
tainment which appeals to the higher
feelings of onr nature. We often hear
them complain of everything 80 dull"
mo ainusements;' 'no place to go;"-
and we would really like 10 knew whose
fault it is. We cannot expect TO have
any anusemsnts worthy Of patronage if
we slight everything that is not of SEN
sational or silly character. Besides this,
we have enough talent at home, both
musical and dramatic, if We would only
draw it out, to not only amuse ourselves,
but in the end to benefit all who would
engage in cultivating it. But right here
ia the place for some one TO inquire,
"Supposing that we should get up series
of entertainments, what would we do
with the proceeds" Throw them into
the school fund, after paying expenses;
establish a reading-room: do anything
with them; only let the improvement to
be received from the necessary study be
the first and the money only a secondary
consideration. REX.

As an evidence that our new towns

"public-spirited," and the kind of men
our citizens should encourage to locate

patronage which they bestow upon this
office-one of the "institutions" of the

us, without solicitation, with a double
column advertisement, shows that there
is degree of "git up" in them which
is worthy of prompt and general reeog-

the discussion of question of this kind
will inevitably occasion. In the mean
