The Comic Opera, "Patisnoe."

The Comic Opera, "Patisnoe."
We honestly believe that Union can produce
fully as fine amateur dramatic and musical
talen: as any other town, and the rendering OF
Patience fully sustained our belief. 1t was
perfect success, from the first rising Of the cur
tain until it was lowered at the close of the
opera.
There could be no fault found during the
performance Each one presented the character
assumed with much Intelligence, case and COR
rectness.
The cast OF characters, was admirablc-cach one
appearing to be peculiarly suited to the character
assigned her or him, and all striving to do their
best. The choruses were exoolleut-tho voices
good, the time ami harmony almost perfect.
Mrs Sloan, as Patience, looked the character,
acted the character and sung the character, ex-
quisitely. a lady in the auiieuce, who had seen
the character renderel by one of the most pop
ular opera actresses in New York, considered
Mrs Sloans singing and acting equal in every
| respect
Mrs. Mcdowell as Lady Angela, Mrs. Goss,
rs Lady Saphir, Mrs. Munro, rs Lady Ella, rem
| dcred their characters in most admirable taste
their fine well trained voices adding n charm to
the perfect harmony of the pcrlormance-while
our friend ~. j. Jones, did Lady Janeadmira-
| bly,
Mr.. Bay, as fleshly poet," Mr.. Grimball as
"anidyiiic poet" AR Farrar as Col. Cnlvery. Mr.
Mcclure, as Maj. Murgatroyd, Mr.. Powell as
the Duke of Dunstable, acquitted themselves al
mirably. In their respective parts all did
equally WELL
We have never known audience so we'll
satisfied and so unanimous in their praise of
the performance all connected with it.
The success was complete, and we sincerely
congratulate Miss Sallie. Munro, through whose
inccssant and untiring work, skill in training
AMI admirable management, the success was'
achieved.

The Success of the State Fair.

We are inclined to think, from the general
absence of Col. u p. Duncan's name in connex-
ion with The great success of the last FAIR Of the
State Agricultural Society, that the credit due
him for that success is either not recognized or
not appreciated. From the time he was electe
President Of the Society he has been necessarily
nt work TO inspire among the people of the State
feeling of deep intercs. in the success of the
Fair, and doing all in his power to make it pop.
ulnr rs an important institution for the diffusion
of useful practical information to all ne sons
interested in industrial pursuits.
Before the State Fair Col Duncan visited
the annual exhibition Of almost every County
Society in the State, and with much earnest ness
presented the claims Of the State Fair TO the
citizens anu exhibitors Of those counties For
many weeks Col. Duncan was steadily con the
80, working up" the Fair, devising means
to make it both attractive and valuable to
the people, encouraging all to contribute TO
the exhibition, securing low rates Of fare on
Railroads, and in every other way making ar
rangemcnts for n cheap, quick and pleasant
visit and q full exhibition. In our opinion, the
success of the last Fair was mainly due to the
indomitablc energy and perseverance of its
young President, Col. ID Arcey p. Duncan, and
we most sincerely congratulate him upon the
result Of his labors.

Very Sensible.

Messrs j. c. Hunter & Co. have q very sensi-
BILE notice in another column. We are struck
with che truth Of what they say. Merchants, as
class, are patient and courteous, and in many
instances embarrass themselves in their efforts
to avoid embarrassing their customers. This
ought not to be. Customers should not wait to
be asked to settle, but should, by prompt pay
ment, encourage and sustain the merchant who
has accommodated them, and at the same time
enhance the value Of their own credit.
