learn, has operated TO the annoyance OF Mr.
Robertson, the present proprietor of the
st. Charles and somewhat to his embarrass
ment. No change in the management of
that excellent public house is contem-
plated Mr.. Robertson will remain in his
present position, and maintain the house as
he hitherto has done, as one OF the best
hotels in the state Of Illinois
The staid and modest editor of the
Sun, alluding to Zenobia's philippe
against tightlacing, declares that sal
though corsets may not be the best thing
in the world to wear they are much better

ance Reform club will hold an election for
president secretary and other officers, this
evening, AS the continued success, even

should, therefore, be reelected, with loud
acclaim, though he resign two minutes al

talented dramatic company under the
management of Mcssrs. Rial g. Draper.
For period of two weeks the company
called out crowded houses nightly in the

Democrat, speaking Of the compsny'S rem
dition of the play, says that il was pro
duced with all possible spectacular and
realistic effects blood hounds, donkeys,
colored jubilee singers and plantation
scenes appearing with marked effect,
where they belonged. Popular prices of
admission will be maintained, and the
Atheneum will, we dare say, be filed to
