one dollar each. They can DO found ut

store. T%horburn's cigar store. and
other PLACES in the town. We have not
heard a rehearsal Of the Amateurs, and
cannot therefore talk confidently OF their
abilities; but from what We know OF
seven or eight OF them, and have heard
OF others. wo think 1t is safe to prcdic,
their success. The fact that their first
performance is to he given in aid OF the
public schools is pretty fair proof that
the Amateurs arc made OF the right kind
OF stuff. and are worthy the liberal pat
ronaee Of our people.
