passed OF in pleasant style. About
sixty persons met at the house of

picnic and dinner, interspersed with
music, singing, reading of the Declara-
ton, ETC., and in the evening they
met at the house of Mr.. Church and
enjoyed themselves at dance and
supper. Our correspondent speaks in
very fiattering terms of the hospitality
OF the people Of that new settlement,
and says: "We still have room for
many more settlers here. Of the same
sort, and wouid be pleased to see
them come. Families preferred. "

Widow Bedott.

These comical papers, the reading
of which has caused such meIrimemt
among the general public ever since
they were issned from the press, were
dramatized some years ago by Mr.. ID.
Il. Locke, Petroleum Y. Nasby, but
they were laid away on account Of
none of the young actresses of the day
wishing to take the role OF the mature
Widow. At last, in the person of Mr..
Chas. u. Bishop, the great comedian,
one was found willing to assume the
character, and his remarkable success
IN this part has shown an adaptation
rarely equalled and not surpassed even
by John +. Raymond as Col. Sellers,
or Joe Jefferson as Rip Van Winkle.
Mr.. j. II. Haverly has formed this
Widow Bedott Comedy company, and
viii give an exhibition ln Astoria as
per advertisement. Mr.. Bishop will
be supported by able talent, among
whom we notice Mr.. Jas. o. Barrows
as Elder Shadrach SRiifies. The com
paHy has won the enconiums Of the
press of New York and other cities,
and no doubt their appearance in As
toria viii be welcomed by all those
who are fond OF the legitimate drama.
Already the box-sheet is filling up,
and we expect to see crowded houses
Oh both Of these occasions. Reserved
seats may be secured at Carl Adlers.
