THE ENTERTAINMENT LAST EVENING
The announcement of the appearance of Wv
ian at Columbia Hall, drew large audience
last evening, but the people were scarcely
prepared for the rare treat in store for them.
We knew what Vivian was, IN his inimitable
sketches, but Kohler was new card, and it
remained to be deiemiped whether he was
''trumps" or only suit" 1t was soon found,
however, that he was veritable bower or. o
pedro, and the game was decided before
half the Glands" were played. Mr.. K. is
almost an orchestra in himself, performing
on the French flagolet, base drum and cymbals
at one and the same time. His knowledge
OF, and skill in performing on, musical instru
ments seems unlimited, and during the even
ing everything he touched appeared to yield
sweet strains of harmony. Professor Waud,
Mrs. Blake and Mr.. Campbell, were all thor
ough in their speciaKies, and Vivian does
not seem to have lost any OF his power over
an audience. His songs were new, but the
| old ones were called for and loudly encored.
The tread-mill song, "Ten Thousand Miles
Away" is always new as sung by Vivian.
THE statement submitted to the Board,
last night, shows that the, actual income of
the town during the past year was $7,27G.33,

.LlsERAL.--Mr. Vivian, with characteristic
liberality, extended an. Invitation to the in.
mates Of the Insane Asylum, at Steilaco ON, to
attend his recent performance at THAT place.
Probably no greater treat or better medicine
could have been devised for the patients. A
hearty laugh Is q panacea for all human Ills,
and as q humorst we all know what Vivian
is, and how contagious the inir,h Is, pro
voked by his inimatable delineations OF char,
