on the borders OF Pigeon Lake, town of

around striking the boy on the head and
killing him instantly. His loss will be
severely felt as he aided greatly in sup

The Clifford Dramatic Company which
presented ''Lucretia Borgia" and ''The
Sea of Ice" to our citizens on Friday and
Saturday night respectively, drew large
houses through the excellence of their
acting. Every theatrical company which
visited our city this summer secured but
Indifferent audiences III point of num-
bers, with this single exception. On
Saturday night the number of persons
present was quite fattering to the rep
utation made by the two most prominent
actors in the entertainment of the pre-
vious night. 1t is the unanimous opinion
of all who attended, that the play of Fri
day night was the finest theatrical per-
Torrance given in years at Manitowoc.
The play is particularly suited to the
dramatic talents of Mr. Clifford and Miss
Bresslau and each seemed to have full
appreciation of the character to be per-
sonated.
Miss Bresslau has a voice of wonder
fnl volume, power and evidently, Of cul
tivation. Through its whole compass,
from the softest utterance of affection to
the loudest tones of anger and denunci-
alton there is a melodious cadence
which falls pleasantly on the ear. At
times it is almost masculine in its
strength but even then it has liquidity
which IS musical. In every part of LII
cretia Borgia'' she did not simply give
voice to the words, but expressed them
with the appropriate feeling. Her move
ments on the stage have considerable
grace, and her gestures and facial express
ion are always in harmony with the
thoughts to which is giving utterance.
She has one fault; at times she gives
passages a sort of prolonged utterance,
half oratorical, half chanting. The too
frequent repetition Of this becomes dis
agreeable.
Mr.. Clifford has become quite favor
tie in Manitowoc. His fine physique
and sonorous voice give him a decided
advantage over the majority of persons
who appear on the stage. The plays did
not furnish him an opportunitunity Of
displayingany great variety feeling. His
voice is admirably adapted to the ex-
preston OF tenderness, as shown on the
occasion of his former visit here. The
drama ''Lucretia Borgia' is a storm of
passion throughout, for the two leading
characters. Some of that "modest still
ness and humility" would have added a
pleasing variety.
Mr.. Clifford was urged by some of our
prominent citizens to repeat his plays on
Monday and Tuesday, but was obliged
to refuse on account of being billed for
Appleton on those nights. He however,
promised to return in January, and give
a series of performances. We have no
doubt that he will be well patronized.

To cap all, two persons whose names are on the

CORRESPONDENCE.
Evil fer Coed.

DoxIPHAS, KAN, Feb. 9, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF.-ln your last issue, notice that one
of your correspondents from this place states that
the Dramatic Society have been refused the use of the
Presbyterian Church. Not being q member of either
the society the denomination can view the situa-
ton from neutral ground, and as am i'm ignorance as
to whom the party is that has respectfully declined
can not be accused Of any personal motive in this
communication.
few years ago, the believers in the doctrine of
everlasting damnation, desired to erect building
here, for the purpose of holding their meetings in.
Their numbers being few and funds light they invited
tie people to contribute freely to the good cause The
building partially completed and remained SO for
time, when steps were taken towardsits compile
ton To do this festival was held in the building,
and tabeaux music, etc. were added to make it more
attractive and profitable. One ''gay and festive"
youth entertained the crowd with q negro song and
banjo accompaniment, and If he could have danced,
would have undoubtedly helped the pious cause still
further by executing oldtime break down." Young
ladies, with enticing little "grab-bags" and fish
pouds- were in attendance, to relieve the people of
their dimes. Nobody objected. Those who came, e1-
pected to spend money and have good time, and the
church members seemed to be perfectly satisfied.
The proceeds, I believe, put the building in good
shape.
After q while, the denomination weakened, and for
some time, no services were held by them. During
the interval, several itenerant shOwmen gave enter
tainments in the building renting it of some who
is supposed to have had control Of it. The proceeds
probably went to the church treasury. Lately serv
ces have been held here by minister of the denom-
ination before referred to- Those of the citizens who
do not attend these services called upon to
tribute their mite' in the shape of cordwood, the
