DICKENS LITTLE FOLKS.

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens so strong hold upon the hearts OF
parents as the ell-known excellence of his
portrayal OF children and their interests
These delineations having received the ap-
proval of readers of mature age, it seemed
y worthy effort TO make the young also
participants in the enjoyment OF these
classic fictions.
With this view. the different child char
acters have been detached from the large
mass OF matter with which they were orig
inally connected, and presented in the au-
thor's own language, to a new class Of read
ers to whom the little volumes will, we
doubt not, be as abrasive as the larger
originals have SO longfproven to be to the
general public.
A series oftwelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the fol-
lowing characters: Little PAUL." from
Dombey & Son; "Smike," from Nicholas
Nickleby; - Little Nell" from The Old
Curiosity Shop; ''The Child Wife," from
David Copperdeld, &c, &C.
A new edition ofthe first volume of this
series, "Little Paul, )" from Dombey a Son,
has just been issued, illustrated by barley
and aJtractively bound. The other volumes

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving Day in Wilmin Ston was
Q very dull occasion, the bad weather
preventing any out door demonstrations
or any general turh~out out Of the peo-
pie, The sportsmen were probably the
only ones satisfied with the weather, as
the storm was not vsrv severe, and was
OF nature to make their sport more
pleasant and lively than in clear wealth.
er.
Throughout the morning. the weather
was quite dissgreeable, but about the
middle OF the afternoon the storm pass
ed away, leaving the weather clear and
cold. This brought many people out
from their homes, and lefore evening
the streets were crowded with pedes-
trians.
In the evening the people turned out
en- mdsSe, to the various entertainments
that were arranged for their pleasure.
At the Opera House "Pink Dominos" at
tracted an audience that packed the
hall. A. Odd Fellows Hall the fair of
the American Rifles, which opened the
previous evening, was largely attended.
At Scott M. Il. Church, about three hun
dred persons partooS of an elegant sup>
per, which had been prepared for the
benefit Of the church. At st. Peters
Catholic Church a similar entertain
ment for the benefit of the poor attract
ed great throng while at st. PauPs M
e. Church tea drinking gave pleasure
to the hosts OF friends who attended
it.
Ths horse race announced to take
place in the afternoon at the Shuetzen
Park was dispensed with on account OF
the stormy weather. ..
In the morning Thanksgiving sevices
were held in nearly all the churches.
There was also general suspension OF
business though number of retail stores
kept open most of the day. The saloons
were selling as usual, some of them offer
| ing an extra attraction in the shape of
| egg-nogg but for all this there was very
little drunkenness observable, and while
| Thanksgiving was dull and quiet
| event it was also sober occasion,

SECOND EDITION.
"PINK DOMINOs.,

The Opera House was crowded last
|evening, to witness the performance of
Pink Domiaos by the Walnut Street
Theatre Company Of Philadelphia.
Much has been said in regard to the
morality Of this play through the column
Of the press both pro. and con. If the
rendition of it given last evening is The
correct one (Which there is hardly any
doubt) its morality cannot with any de-
gree of fairness be questioned by the most
exacting Lmoralist. The performance
contained no language that would CRATE
upon the ears of the most sensitive per-
son. Perhaps there are large number
who would take exceptions to the situa-
tions in the second act, bu. they were no
more or less than can be seen at mas
querade or full dress ball, that of al gen.
tleman calling for private supper room
in order to treat his lady partner to a
supper. The plot is simple and in,
geDious one, and consists in two ladies
testing the fealty of their husbands.
In order to do this, they resolve to write
them a note, to be present at a masque-
rade ball, and in order that the writers
may be known they will appear in Pink
DOminoS In the meantime the servant
also resolves to go,andlshe too appears in
a costume same as the ladies. They meet
the respective gentleman, go to the ball
and during the supper hour get separated
and finally escape and reach their homes
The next day explanations follow, and
the families are again happily reunited
The large audience present, which was
composed of the best class of society, was
complete refutation of the labored ar
ticles that appeared in the columns o
the Morning Herald, Of Wednesday
charging that the performance was ar
obscene one and proves conclusively
what little reliance people can place il
what that paper says as operformancea a
the Opera House. The audience wa
one of the largest of the season and ap
plauded the play in the most cordia
manner. The manager of the Operi
House Jesse K. Baylis, has been in the
business SO long and is so well known b.
our theatre goers, that they have full
confidence in his abilities to present frs
class plays.
