ment which greeted the late conner at Granite
Hall, last evening. The largest audience Of
the year gathered in the hall to witness the
rendition Of play which never grows old.
The singing Of the Negro ,melodies-those
wonderful songs fresh from the cotton fields
anu rice swamps Of the South-was heartily
enjoyed. Much of the acting was good, es-
peciaiiy the parts of ''Topsy" and Uncle
Tom" which were clearly sustained G. w.
Hill, as Marks, hardly seemed to enter into
the spirit Of sharp Southern lawyer, but
ouriesqued it quite as much as the part would
bear. The character is rich with humor, but
Mrs. Stowe never intended Marks to act like
an idiot. Phineas Fletcher was quite good,
while Lizzie Duroy made capital 'Aunt
Ophelia.''
