The date of the presentation OF Mr.. @.
| w. Henrys original drama in five acts,
Darkness and Daylight" has been liked for
Tuesday evening of next week, l1th inst.
We have been allowed to examine a copy OF
the play and have no hesitation in saying
that the plot is good, the movement spirited,
and the situations varied and novel, assuring
sustained interest to the end. The cast is
strong one and will bring out some promising
but hitherto unknown local talent The com
munity has already had some excellent speci-
mems Of Mr.. Henry's talent as an author and
dramatist, and we trust that he will be given a
full house on this occasion.
- The Vermont Asylum, Z. G. Frost, and
Gen W. W. Lynde at his Office in Crosby
block are subscribers TO the telephone OK

board was shipped from indianapolis, Ind,
yesterday, which will nearly or quite double
the capacity OF the exchange. An account
kept of the calls at the exchange during one
week since this year came in shows that they
average 500 per day. During some parts OF
| the day and evening it taxes the operator to
the utmost to keep up With the business. As
soon as the subscribers number 100 the COM
pany will put on a night operator, and 1t will
then be a very simple matter TO utilize the
telephone system for fire alarm purposes.

in the West River valley, and all visitors to
South Londonderry, will learn with sincere
regret Of the destruction by fire of the Pea
