In entering upon the ninth year and vol
ume of the COURIER we are pleased to in
form the public generally. ana especially
the many friends WHO have so generously
and s.eadfastly stood by the paper under
its present management, that its circula-
ton and advertising patronage has been
steadily incr ing during the past two
years III least: that it now has larger
and better paying subscription list than it
ever had in he past, and that its prospects
tor the future were never SO encouraging
rs they are at present.
In the future. we shall be guided by the
same conscientious motives. honorable en-
dcavors and industrious efforts which. in
our opinion. have SO largely contributed
to orr present success; and trust that, by
continuing TO publish Il live. newsy and
independent newspaper. we shall not only
retain the confidence and respect OF pres
cnt patrons. but live and grow up with

LEvICK, THE ACTOR, SUR
PRISED.
Finding a Sister in this Country After
T~weHty-Hine Years Separation.
New York world.l

New York World.l
Mines. Levick, the actor, recently
met with a surprise which materially
altered his plans for this summer.
About a month ago he was playing
with G~cnevieve Wards Combination
in Newport, II. l., and the success of.
the company was very great. The
principal actors and actresses received
many invitations to dinners and re-
eeptions. Mr.. Levick fell under the
care of DIR. Lyman Severance and the
Rev. Mr.. Otway, and with them went
to the house ola physician, who is a
man of wealth and influence. Just
before the three newly-made friends
were leaving the house, DIR. Severance
led Mr.. Leyick one side and told him
that he intended TO surprise him
greatly. He knew, he said, that Mr..
Levick was a widower, and he intend
ed to introduce him to a charming
lady. He added, however, that he
had no designs as a matchmaker.
When Mr.. Levick was introduced to
the lady he found that she was his
hostess, and more than that,
she wa his own sister, whom
he had not seen for many
years. Explanations followed which
will be made more clear to the public
by an account of Mr.. Levick's r
He was born in Boston, England. and
came to this country in 1850, at the
age of sixteen, with a young wife. He
had played in the provinces of his
native country, but hoped to do better
in the United States. Almost imme-
diately after his arrival here he was
engaged by Barnum as George Har-
ris in Uncle Toms Cabin, and made
a hit. From that time his success was
assured. and he has never left this
country. His father was a retired
clergyman with a family of twenty-one
children, of whom the actor was the
sixteenth, and although the old gen.
tleman is still living, Leyick has heard
little from him. Some years ago his
sister came to this country and married
the physician, at whose house her
brother met her for the first time since
she had been in the United States.
The mutual pleasure at the meeting
was so great that it was agreed by the
brother and sister that they should
devote the coming summer to paying
a visit to their father, who Is now
eighty-two years old. In consequence
of this agreement it has been reported
that Levick intends to leave the stage
altogether, but he will return in the
fall and resume his profession.
