From Highland.

Saturday night last, the red rib
bon club of this place, gave u dra-
matte performance before good
house. Owing e the untayorablc-
ness Of the weather the attendance
was not as large as would have been,
had it been a pleasant evening.
The performance was good, and from
the fact that many of the. actors
made their first appearance on the
stage, justly meritcd the applause
they received.
The neat little sum Of s310O was
received at the door.

of comment. 1t seems that II lady

procured some boxes of strawberries
and invited her neighbors TO come

In discussing the matter it was held
by one gentleman that if the guests
took cream Oh their strawberries
they would become particeps crimi-

But a republican present held

that there was no going hehind the

things Shields was spoken of as a
"dandy who went lloatin' about the
