John Dillon.

The renowned comedian, JOAN Dill on d.,
will appear at Turner Hall, with Wallack' s
combination next Monday and Tuesday,
May 26th and 9th. The Conjuror will be
played Monday evening and Dreadful Dad,
Tuesday evening, Dillon appearing in both
supported with full cast of characters
This is an opportunity presented to our
citizens of witnessing first class theatricals
that does not often arise and there should
be full house each evening. General ad-
mission SO cents, gallery 35cents. No extra
charge for reserved seats.
The following copied from the Madison
Democrat shows what may be expected:
my dreadful dad" This Playful.
Ions speciality-was presented at the Opera
House, last evening, to the largest and
| most respectable audience that has graced
the hal for many day. Mr. Dillon takes
| the par: of Adonis Evergreen the s'dreadful
| dad"
Perhaps great many in the vast au-
dience expected to see ''dreadfup' charac-
| ter, in the common acceptation of the term
"a regular COlU-UlUOucu, udTu-uedFtcU VII
lian. One thought of the name of the
character-Adonis Eucrgree,-and you can
| imagine (if you know that he is about 60
years of age) an extremely we'll dressed
handsome, highly exquisite gentleman.
| But Oh! what rake! An old widower,
| you know. After all the pretty women
sin a moral way"--a "dreadful' old gentle
man; here is where the moral comes in.
Spending almost as much as his good son,
a rising good lawyerl can make. The son
Richard Evergreen, is the direct opposite
to his father. This character was exceed
ingly well taken by Mr.. John ". Blaisdell.
1t is useless to undertake to portray the
character of the "Dreadful Dad" otis too
much" one gentleman in the front seat re-
marked; 81 can't stand any more of it? my
sides will burst?n
The whole house was in this same si,ua
ton, we imagine. from the convulsivs
laughter. We think Dillon never appeared
to better advantage. He twas in excellen
spirits-never was more full of fun.

Marketing Honey.

Marketing honey is Of great impor.
lance TO the bee keeper. IL we have
but small number Of colonies we can
find ready sale for our honey ut home,
and II Is not Of much importance IN what
shape II Is put up. But II we have n
large number of colonies aud get thou
sands Of pounds Of honey, we must have
some other than the home market Hon
cy TO be sent TO the city market must be
put up In neat and attractive shape,
and 10 arranged as not to give the deal
or any trouble. One lcaky box or can
may do great injury. Comb honey
should be chiefly In small sections Of one
and two pounds each for such packages
are sure TO sell. They should be clean
and white; the honey should be taken
from the bees as soon MS II Is capped; for
If II Is Oh the hivce long, after Il Is cap
pei, II Will get dark looking by the bees
travelling over Il, by having II IN see
iions which only contain single comb,
the consumer can see what he buys
These sections can he glassed II the mar
kct demands u; but | think Il will sell
better without glass, because II the con-
sumner wants to buy few pounds Of
honey he does not want TO pay for ono
fourth weight In glass which he cannot
eat | think the two pound sections are
preferable for the following reason -
the bee will store more honey In them
than In thu one pound sections, for by
uelng the one pound sections the hive IL
too much divided into small comparl-
mcnts. Besides, we can afford TO sell
them cheaper, and the consumer will
not have no much tare NJ when he buys
them In the one pound sections. hut n
the market demands the one pound SEQ
tlone, then We should furnish them
now TO PREVENT nrEs nonpiNc rAcn
