Miss Ada Gray appears at the town hall
this evening in the celebrated play of Miss
Mutton. All who enjoy fine emotional
acting should attend this performance, as,
judging from the press notices where she
has appeared, Ada Gray is one of the finest
actresses Of this kind travelling. The en-
tertanment concludes with roaring farce
at which all can laugh themselves into high
good humor before leaving. Miss Gray
has just played two nights each in Bur-
lington and st. Adams, and the papers in
both places speak highly of her. The
Free Press says Miss Gray is fine actress,
the support is good, the troupe first class,
and the farce at the close capital.

some liquor remained in it which he poured
into tumbler. Wooley, who had entered
the room with the officers, knocked the
tumbler from his hands and spilled the liq-

ing thoroughly, but failed to find anything
thing but ale or beer, which they refuse to
seize without bond indemnifying them
from the consequences of such seizure.
