People who live in the city convenient to the
theatres, where plays are mounted In elegant
style, and are entertained by stock companies
who have drilled aud rehearsed their parts until,
to the unsophisttcated eye Of Granger, there
is no imperfection, know nothing Of the joys
and sorrows appertaining to the production Of q
play in the rural districts, The preparations
are commenced weeks beforehand, the costumes
require much ransacking among old clothes
and many consultations; the arranging OF the
stage and the rehearsals occupy the minds Of the
participants, and keep them in futter until the
opening night. The allotments in the play are not
always arranged to the best advantage for the zuc
Of the piece; favorite and daughters gen
orally appropriate leading parts for which they
least adapted. II the stage is favored with drop
curtain we should be thankful for then the cur
tain can be run down and the stage set anew
for each scene. To the eyes OF q person
accustomed to city theatre and stock company,
the entertainment is ludicrons in the extreme.
Tie deficiencies in the costumes aud stage settings,
together with the happiness OF the players
for the parts for which they are cast, make it
ysry funny Now this is no reflection on the
ainly deserving Of tie support OF the citizens in

OF their parts, more especially Miss Sclg and
Messrs. Blish and Dunn. With proper support
from the people and frequent reheaTsa1s, this Club
might make IN Important factor In the list Of the
winter entertainments.
There is one point in the Normal School question
which may have escaped (for the time being) the
minds OF the people in Engewood. The charter
reads: s'That II the building should be diverted
to any other purpose than that Of Normal School,
the grounds and buildings revert to the Original
donors" 1t be hooves the citizens Of Englewood
to exert themselves towards having the school re-
opened rs soon as possible for its legitimate pur-
pose. Delays are dangerous. The remarks in
last Sundays TRIBUNE in regard to the Uuiversalist
Society seem to have caused ore of the members
any more trouble in the Society, but to try and
heal some of the differences already
existing The case is like this: There
are enough Unirersa1ists, Unitarians, and
others OF similar beliefs to form working society,
but not enough Of either one separately to accom-
each should make CONCESSIONS pastor who is
liberal in his views, and the ee1cction Of a name
