THE BERGER TRoUpE.-As will be
learned from tho advertisement pub
lishcd i'm another column, tho Bergers
will give an entertainment in the
Thcspian Hall on Saturday night. The
troupe has recently received several
new and important acccssions, and is
,hlGtte: prepared than ever to entertain
IFS audiences. Speaking Of its per-
formances, a contemporary says: "Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
instrumental music by tho Berger fam
lily, for they never fail to- delight Oh
audience with their artistic and COM
plctc rendition Of the most difficult
compositions. The programme IN.
clude selections by the company as a
parlor orchestra, singing melodies on
tho Swiss bells, cornet and saxophono
soIoes, and character songs and del'n~
1ations by Mr.. Charles Duncan. The
vcntriloquial humorisms of Mr. c.. w.
Brewster, assisted by his family of
block-hcads, is the best and purcst fun
we have ever Witnessed. Never have
the Bcrgcrs offered the public an OH
tcrtainment so rep'ctc with novelty,
sentiment and humor, and wthal of
such prominent artistic excellence.
We must not fail of one word of en-
