GEO. M. " nLMARTH, Secretary.
The Lilipuiian Opera Company
gave their entertainment to crowded
house at Academy Hall, on Tuesday
evening last. The performance was
quite satisfactory, most of the little
folks putting considerable spirit into
their acting. Miss Jennie Quigley and
Admiral DO in particular did very
we'll. The contrast between the gigaii-
tic Col. Orr and the others was quite
striking, and made an amusing feature
oil most Vt the scenes.
The revival meetings held at the
Court house, by Miss Townsley, are
yer, largei, attended and the interest
is rapidly increasing. Her topic Was
"Sinn Tor the first three evenings vi
this week, which she handled with
good success. There is promise that
much good will result from her efforts.
Her appeals are more to the reason of
minds than to their feelings, and her
discourses are mastery in their logic
and constant reference to scripture.
We trust she will gather in good har-
vest before her labors are done in Mid
dlebury.
