in the highest terms Of praise is the "Octoroon,"
which is to be placed upon the stage at Concert
Hail. on the evenings of Friday and Saturday,
February 18th and 18th. Those familiar with
this play pronounce it the best that the citizens Of
Mortified have been favored with for a long time.
That it will be rendered in good styeiis sufficiently
guaranteed by the announcement that among
those who carry important parts in the play may
be named L. A. Howes, Thomas Averill, George
d. Thomas, William NJ. Rumbaugh, L. A. Dodge,
F, r. Bates, and several others who are by no
means indifferent actors. 1t will please the many
friends and admirers OF Miss LA Marsh to be in
formed that TO her has been assigned the part of
the " octoroon," the prominent female character
in the play. Miss Marsh has platform reputa-

nature. The New England Guards are to have
