mas Night, the 18th inst, as will be seen by
the bills of the Good Templars' Entertainment
which is to be given in Washington Hall,
on the above date. A glance at the cast of
characters is enough to insure success. The
play chosen for the occasion is "The Lady of
Lyons, or Love and PRIDE" by Lord Lytton
Bulwer: The events of this play take place
at the city of Lyons, in France. As almost
all our readers are familiar with the writings
of this celebrated author, we feel safe in say
ing that the hall will be filed to OVERLOOKING
to witness the rendition of one of Bulwer's
best works. In order to render the play in
the most efficient manner possible, for am
ateurs, it will be presented in full costume
This play is strictly moral, and free from all
impure thoughts. 1t is interesting to young
and old, married and single, lovers and sweet
hearts.
The entertainment will conclude with the
laughable farce, entitled 'The Country
Cousin"
