INTERPRETATION OF HAMLET, MUSIC

NJ Mhs
INTERPRETATION OF HAMLET, MUSIC
HALL, APRIL 10Th, 1881.
The first performance of Shakesperear
play in BridgetOn will, it is believed, be an
event of no common interest; one appealing
in the strongest manner to the culture and
refinement of this important social and bus
mess centre.
One of the noblest OF Shakespeare's plays
the immortal tragedy of Hamlet-effi-
ciently cast, finely set, and superbly CO.'S
TUNED, will be offered the students and low
ers of the Bard of Avon OF the Goth of April;
the promise being given that the perform
ance shall be at all times equal to the stand
ard of Shakesperean productions in New
York and Philadelphia. A conscientious
effort will be made tn give community
hitherto strangely neglected an entirely ex-
celent opportunity, and the character of its
reception will doubtless largely determine
the advisability of future efforts in the same
direction.
The Importance of the Shakesperean lit
erature as help in education, as pro-
moter of all that is sound and profitable in
morals, even as an adjunct in religious
teaching, is not to be doubted it is every
where upqualifedly admitted. In intro
ducing this literature in dramatic shape to
the citizens of Bridgeton, the present man.
agement intends simply to do its very best.
No effort will be spared to give as complete
performance OF Hamlet as the resources of
modern stage art can supply; the rest must
be left to the intelligence, the public spirit.
and the love of letters of the ladies and gen.
tlemen of this vicinity.

A prominent physician of the State. wi

A prominent physician of the State, who
has lately had much to do with smallpox,
said the other day that everybody ought to
be vaccinpated at least twice in their lives,
once in childhood and once in maturity; for
in the change from one to the other period
of life the preventive properties of vaccina-
ton is attended with some little fever and
the appearance of lump in the region of
the armpits. His advice was that all should
continue the attempts at vaccination until
these effects were observed. Then, said he,
a person is almost safe from the attacks of
small pox-State Gazette.

The removal of Mr.. Samuel C. Brown
from the position Of Chief Clerk of the De-
by Chief Bishop, is an outrage. Mr.. Brown
is Republican, and this was the only argu-
ment for bis removal. He is compelled to
give way in order that room may be made
fol Chas. Fl. Simmerman, a defeated Dem
ocratic ofice-seeker. When the Labor Bu-
reau was established it was distinctly under
stood that it should be non-partisan. Now
that it has become entirely Democratic it
will perhaps be well to wipe it out alto

MARRIED IN HASTE.

The usually quiet little village at East
Schuylkill Falls has been in an excited state
during the past two days over the elope
ment of Miss Mamie Dobson, the eldes,
daughter Of James Dobson of the widely.
known firm of John 6 James Dobson, car.
pet manufacturers, No. 800 Chestnut ST.,
Philadelphia, with Thomas Jeffries, young
man we'll known in the latter city. Mr.
Dobson lives with his family in handsome
mansion within short distance of the rail
road station at the Falls. Mr.. Jeffries had
been devoted in his attentions to Miss Dob.
son for some time past, and although it wat
known that the couple were very much at
tached to each other, the subject Of matri
mony was never alluded to, SO far as the
young lady's parents are concerned. On
Thursday last Mr.. Jeffries called upon Miss
Dobson, and shortly after they left the house
together. Not returning when evening ar.
rived, the parents of the young lady became
very much alarmed at their long api con
tinued absence, and Mrs. Dobson was al
most overcome with grie. On the follow.
ing day, however, the cause of the absence
of the young couple was fully explained by
the receipt of a postal card from Mr.. JEFF
fries, addressed to Mr.. Dobson. which brief.
ly stated that he and Miss Dobson were
married in New York, and that they were
then at the st. James Hotel. Mr.. Dobsou
was greatly incensed at the rash conduct o
the infatuated pair, for the reason that he
regarded his daughter as being entirely toe
young to marry. He went to New York
accompanied by the clipping couple
who it is stated will reside for the pre-
ent at the Colonade Hotel. Miss Dobson is
but Is years of age and quite pretty, but
rather inclined to be delicate, which is an
other reason given by her parents against
the hasty nuptials. Mr.. Jeffries is very
respectable young man Of 25 years and is "a
voraby known in business circles.

Temperance is attracting much attention,
showing itself in local option laws, societies,
crnsades and restrictions upon liquor pro.
duction; but with all these efforts the con.
sumption is enormous, and, undoubtedly,
the reason is, because there is nothing siren
hously advocated to relieve and destroy the
craving for stimulants. But, if the disease
was treated nationally, by arousing the tor
pid Liver with Simmons Liver Regulator,
the dispirited drunkard would find his crav-
ings soon dissipated. and with cleared head
and active Liver he would not want LIQUOR.
