PAUL's OPERA HovsE-Fa1day ard
Saturday erenings.-We go to press
too early for notice of the Mar
tinetti- Ravel entertainments with
which our people are just now favor
ed. The mention OF the press else
where is notably complimentary. The
appended paragraph from the Ply
mouth (Pa) Star is an instance In
point:
Fun and laughter broke loose and ran
riot at Hairington's Opera House last even
ing. The Martinettis covered themselves
all over with funny honors, and large au
dicncc was filled with hearty enjoyment
The pant omimes, THE Green Mons CT" and
"Pat-a- Cake" were all that was advertised
and more. The banjo playing and comic
singing by William A. Huntley were unap-
proachablc, and thrice was he encored, re-
plying good naturally, and each time more
acceptably than before, if that were posi-
bic. The little four-year-old Adele was
cruelty compelled by the audience to repeat
the Highland Fling, so well was it received
the first time, and Master Ignacio had to do
double duty for the same reason. His
stump Grafton would fairly put to shame
nine tenths of the burlesque orations 10y

SPECIAL. NoTlcE.-We send out
this week large number of notices
to subscribers who owe us small
amounts. We trust none will be in
suited, as sometimes occurs, but that
all will come forward during the
month and, by paying, enable US to
square up several pressing obligations.
The JOURNAL has gone on during the
winter to many with the hope that
the pay would come with the spring.
This has been done with no little
strain upon our limited resources,
Paper, which is now more staple
than iron-paper, the cost of which
seems to know no decline or fall
must be bought and paid for, as also
the labor and other indispensables
attending our weekly output. These
claims upon us are heavy, while ours
are small and within the abilities Of
every subscriber. But many a
mickle makes a muckle, and if all
will respond we c-n pay and have a
little left over as return for our own
labor.
