This is a good bill of fare and we hope TO
be one OF the participants. We are not
acquainted with Aunt Betsy's beauX, but do
not doubt their being very nice young men,
! especially If they live in Providence. The
Little Treasure is a piece Of which we do
undertake. to speak, rs one of the prettiest
specimens OF the society drama that has
ever been put upon the stage. We used TO
see it played by Msggle Mitchell when
Maggie was young and pretty, which alas is
twenty-five years ago. Take our word for
it that on Thursday night you will see il
done by one as attractive as Maggie in her
best days.
