The Y ung ladies of the Literary
Musical Society of Martin College,
will present to morrow evening, at
s O'Clock, a beaut iful categorical,
drama entitled "Tbe Banner of St.
Claire" The entertain ment will
be given for the purpose of raising
funds to purchase a library. The
object is commendable one and we
feel safe in saying that the enter
tainment itself will be exceptional
ly good. Fifty young ladies will
appear in the piece, which is full of
beautiful tableaux and striking
dramatic situations. Following is
a synopsis OF the play:
Louise de Morne, after a series
of reverses, has lost the Banner of
ST.. Claire, the ensign of the realm
of Aube. It had been wrestled
from the hand of the dying lie
Grey by Villain Noir, rival of the
house of Morne, and placed in the
custody Of Candida and the Daugh-
tiers of the Mist. The people of
Aube are ardently attached to
Louise de Morne, but will not pro-
claim her unless she appears before
them with the lost banner. They
are finally persuaded to accept vi
lain Noir as princess. BY the laws
of the realm the sovereignty of
Aube is elective. At the opening
of the drama, Villain Noir has oc-
cupied the throne for number OF
years, but the time has arrived
when the people are to give express
sion to their preference. The
daughters of lie Grey have never
acknowledged Villain Noir. Though
oppressed by unjust and discrimi-
mating laws, they remain firm in
their adherence to the house of
Morne. They toll at the spinning
wheel in their fathers cottage, I'M
terrified by threats, interrupted by
bribery. In the present crisis OF
affairs they hold the balance of
power and are opposed to Noir.
They weave their webs and stamp
them with the arms of Morne.
Villain Noir appeals to Gambia,
who volunteers to remove all OBJ.
stacles to her peaceful accession to
the throne, and, with the assistance
of the Daughters OF the Mist, she
steals away the daughters of LIE
Grey. Villain Noir is crowned and
receives ambassadors. Hixa adj
vises Louise de Morne to attend
court and there she finds the clew
to the hidden banner. Louise then
visits the stronghold OF Gambia,
raises the banner, captures the
Daughters of the Mist, appears at
court and is reinstated in her form
err power. Villain Noir, Gambia and
the Daughters of the Mist. "Pass
under the yoke"

Mary's Little Mad Dog.

Mary had little dog,
Its teeth were white as snow
And everywhere dear Mary went
That pup was sure to go.
1t went with her the other day
Into the public school
And bit the teacher in the leg,
Which was against the rule.
1t ripped and tore the trouser seats
OF several sprightly chaps
And at the stockings of the girls
Made sundry vicious snaps.
Then Mary got upon a desk
And asked what made him So
The teacher rubbed his leg and howled
Giles got the hydrophO-!"
"WhoopeeI" the scholars cried, and
then
They mauled sweet Mary's pup
With sticks and stools and sundry
things
Until he was used up.
And when he was a mass OF pulp
They flung him out to dry
And in the yard the scraps remained
Till Mary scoOted by.

Hymeneal.

On Thursday afternoon last, DR..
Mark L. Clark, of Brick Church,
led to the hymeneal altar Miss Sal
lie Kate Fry, the charming and &C
complished daughter OF Jesse Fry,
esq, of Lynnville. The ceremony
was impressively performed, at the
residence Of the brides father, by
Elder George w. Campbell. The
attendants we're Mr.. Terry Dicker-
son with Miss Annie Buford, and
Mr.. Flournoy Rivers with Miss May
Gordon. Messrs. r. A. +. Jackson
and William II. Buford acted as
ushers. At the conclusion of the
ceremony, the bridal party were
cordially and most agreeably enter
tanned at the residence of the
groom's father, DR.. b. p. Clark.
The principals in this interesting
affair are both deservedly popular
and they enter upon new exist
ence attended by the kind wishes
of very many friends. The bride
is a bright, warm-hearted and ex-
ceedingly attractive young lady,
whose sunny temperament has
made her a general favorite. 1t is
safe to say that she will preside
with grace, dignity and sweetness
in the new home she is about to
enter. DR.. Clark is a young physi-
clan OF decided promise and one
who is likely to prove an ornament
to his profession. He is also q
gentleman of high moral character,
generally admired and widely es-
teemed for real worth. He will
know how to appreciate and tender
ly guard the prize he has won.

and the hope of getting a certificate
of distinction on each of their
studies, is urging the boys to more
diligent study every day.

A sure cure for hydrophobia is
to kill the dog before he bites you
and then if he bites you he is al
most sure not to do it. Take down
your guns brooches, if it has more
than one, and scarify it and then
apply maidstone to your sight-eye.
Shoot the dog every fifteen MIN
