 The Litchfield Dramatic Association gave a very enjoyable entertainment on Wednesday evening of last week. The Spirit of Seven ty-Six" was notable success. Tom Carberry GA. E. Bostwick) was an extremely lively and interesting chief victim of woman's wiles and oppression. We have seen several real judges who acted the part with less dignity and dis cretion than Miss Adams. The confused Car berry struck us, though, as rather unsympathet- ic teacher in the lost art of love-making, for SO apt pupil as Victorine.

We must not forget Mir. Wigfall CD. w. kichards) the most interesting male of the new regime. He was the real heart broken husband; and as he soothed that won- oerful baby with bass voice. and qualled be- lore ms strong minded sister-in-law, he was nnquesuonably an awful sample of the pros- pective fruits of woman suffrage.
