Drama and Music.

We had the pleasure, as everybody
else should have had, of attending the
Dramatic and Musical entertainment held
at the residence of MIR. Bachelor, near
Sligo. The entertainment was for the
benefit of an Episcopal church in the vi
cinity, known as the Grace Church,
which, under the energetic, enterprising
and efficient rectorship of the Rev. Jas.
d. Averitt, has become one of the first
and largest churches in our county
The beautiful residence of Mr.. Bachc-
lor was brilliantly Illuminated and one
of its spacious halls we'll arranged
for the evenings amusement. The ac-
commodations were ample for a large
audience, but very meagre crowd was in
attendance, owing we suppose to the in
suficiency of the amateur drama to amusc
and interest the citizens of that cultivated
portion ofour county. If this be the reason
we feel confident that all who remained
away because they thought the enter
tainment would be far beneath their edu-
Gated appreciation at least forwarded the
price of admission to help the church
For the credit of christian charity we
give them the benefit Of this statement,
the veracity Of which VIC consider rather
improbable.
The entertainment opened with an
amusing farce entitled Popping the
Question:" The characters were gem
orally well sustained, in fact, with more
ability than is generally found among
amateurs. The Henry Primrose" Of
Mr.. Lay was a faithful and amusing
dclneation of the character, and his
appearance upon the stage was always
greeted with the applause and merriment
-irdeseryed Miss Lizzie Bachelor merited
all the praise she received from the ap-
preciative audience. Her diffidence, while
it was quite apparent, did not detract in
the least from her successful impersona-
ton of the character, while the bushes it
created added considerably to her beauty.
She is pretty brunette, and we scarcely
think that Popping the Question" to her
is limited to the dramatic stage. Misses
Burche, Lou Bachelor and Linn acted
their parts with remarkable success and
justly earned the favorable opinion of the
audience. The character of Henry
Thornton" received rather shabby treat
ment at the hands of Mr.. N. Brewer, or
rather of the three who undertook to i'm
personate him, for Mr.. Brewer appeared
on the stage as Henry" the prompter
did "Hcnry's" talking and we presume
somebody behind the stage did ''Henry's"
acting. Poor Henry" thy name has
faded from the drama, thy foot6teps from
the stage, thy form from behind the foot
lights and thy voice from the ear "Ellen
Murry," for when the springtime comes
the wild violet will be nesting by thy
tombstone and the weeping willow en-
bracing thy grave with its branches. An
evil star presided at thy death and hur-
ried thy dissolution.
The farce was followed by numerous
beautiful and well selected tableapx
which were presented with good mana
~ and taste. The music was

There was complete jam in the canal

OF the same, were compelled to shut down about

but the blockade vast OF the bridge down to and

that the number Of infantcidcs and deaths from
neglect Of unknown infants has greatly increased.
lie states that In his report fur last year he called
attention to the subject, and suggested remedy to
prevent such wholesale slaughter, and he still be.
licves that many ofthese unnatural mother can be
apprchended and brought TO justice by the offer Of
reward to those furnishing evidence OF guilt.
For this purpose he recommends that contingent
fund bo appropriated to be expended either by the
chief of police OF the coroner. He also renews his
recommendation for a morgue or some suitable
place to which the bodies Of persons found dead
can be removed TO await Identification and where
examination can be made and inquests held in
eases OF suspicion of foul play His estimate for
the expenses Of the coroner oce Is q 600 salary
