The dramatic entertainment held here on
Thursday aud Friday EVENING" was sue
cess, although the weather was unfsvorable
the houee beng filled on both evenings with
an attentive and appreciative audiencse.
The several parts in the PLAYS were well
sustained by the different actors, each one
striving to excel. Jcwett D. Ives sustained
his former reputation as delineator of
character in his personation Of "Crimp"
the colored house guard, bringing down the
house with laughter as often as he appeared
upon the stage. His personation OF Bar
ney O'Toole" hejolly rowing Irishman was
true to life, as he came into ownership of a
castle, which was eventually frightened out
of his possession by ghost. "Taraxicum
Twtters" was his masterpiece, and was
loudly applauded by the audience. AL.
though he has now been befo.e us az an
actor for ten years, he seems to have lost
none of his originality, aud delighted those
who were in attendance. All the other ac-
tors acquitted themselves admirably and
sustained their various parts go well it we're

most part had never been upon the stage
before, but we think will compare favora-
blywlth troupes that have had more expe-
rience.

including chasing sheep for another three

Matrimonial stock seems to be on the de-

men with the fear of cold winter before
