HOLIDAY AMUSEMENT rs.
The Entertainment Given for the. Bene.
fiji of the Ladies' Aid Society.

Brookhaven has been blessed with
amusements during the holidays.
The OCCASION of the entertainment, Dec.
2lst, for the b-neit of the Ladies Al d So
ciety, will long live in the memory Of our
citizens. The entertainment WAS given
under the management of Prof. Coulon
and Mrs. Carrie Eckhardt, and was all
that the most exacting worshipper of Thes-
pis could have craved. Beauty and the
Beast" WAS fauitlessly rendered. The play
was deliberately mounted, and the seen
cry brought out in the piece was probably
the finest ever set upon our stage. The
leading characters were PLAYED by Miss
Hattie Martin and Prof. Coulon. The
music by the ladies was very good, and the
"Way They Kept Il Secret" WAS laughable;
but the Dutch song and recitation by Prof.
Coulon drought down the house" We
have never seen a better Dutch specially
actor thar Coulon upon the regular stage
and nothing to approach him upon the
amateur boards. His accent is perfect,
dress good and facial expression excel
lent. His Dwarf also created some
amusement and wonder. The entertain
ment was repeated Dec. 22d, and the pro.
ceeds of both nights amounted to 800.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR BENEVOLENT PUR-
POSES. .
One of the most delightful entertain
ments ever witnessed by a Brookhaven au-
dience was given at the theatre last Satur-
day night, for benevolent purposes. The
exhibition consisted..of tahaleaux, music, a
comedy and farce. 1.-THE Serious Family"
was presented in a creditable manner; but
the applause of the evening was reserved
for ~ePocahontas." Miss Josie Warren
assumed the title roll, Oscar Crosby sup
porting her with "Captain John Smith,"
little j. NJ. II. Martin playing Pow
hatan." The farce was rendered in a
smooth, easy manner, and every character
was well sustained, but "Pocahontas,"
"Captaia John Smith" and "Powhatan"
eclipsed all Others, Wei doubt if those
parts could bave been better played. Miss
Josie Warren has a sweet, ringing voice,
and made a most bewitching Indian girl.
The costumes we're true representations of
Indian dress.
Mrs. Crosby. tbs director of the %entain-
ment,is entitled to the thanks of the public
for providing SO enjoyable a treat. When
she undertakes an entertainment it never
fails TO please all who see ii. The enter
tainment was repeated last night. Pro-
ceeds OF both evenings al o It $50.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin, reminding
its readers that the next few weeks give the
best season of the year to "p]ant fences" sup
plies some very remarkable figures as to the
use Of wire fence, and especially Of the Barb
Fence of the Washburn s. Moen Manufactur-
ing Company. Since the introduction of wire
fence, twenty years 40, one hundred and
JDfy thousand miles OF wire fence have been
Constructed. The Barb Fence has been before
the public only three seasons, yet already
tacenty feur thousand miles of this fence are in
use III thts country and various parts Of the
world. 1t is in the highest favor with land
owners, for farm and home protection against
depredatOrs of the crops and orchards. The
fence is constructed Of Galvanized Steel Wire,
and carries steel barbs firmly attached by the
process OF manufacture patented in this
country and very widely abroad. The Barb
Fence is literally steel thorn hedge with all
the durability Of galvanized steel wire. 1t Is
cheap as material, easy. in construction,
and has almost the life and tenacity of stone
wall. The Barb Fence Wire is being extern
sively used in single strands to perfect and
give efficiency to walls and fences OF old con.
struction. It will turn the hreachiest steer,
and is as useful in the home enclosures as in
the outlying fields.
