day night. The reputation of the Thes

night was rainy. The play is very
difficult one, and required much scenery
stage machinery, and great variety o
costumes. The stage scenery had beef
prepared and painted, by Capt. Tucke
and is very fine. The costumes wer,
from Boston. The play is thrilling iron
beginning to end and was acted wit
good taste and skill. We do not wis
to particularize, but will say that tn

part of the witch to perfection, and Mis-
G. /. Parker who has the leading part

The play will be repeated on Thursda
night Of this week, that the large nun
Der who were prevented from gettin
