Esmarelda.

AS we issued the Advocate on Wcdnes-
day Of last week, we could not notice the
play Of Esmarelda' that was SO success
fully put on the boards on Thanksgiving
night. But the excellence OF this amateur
performance and the degree of historic
talent developed by some of the partici-
pants merits more than passing notice
Our entertainment loving people were out
in full force, and the enterprise must
have netted a handsome return after
paying all expenses; but to the play.

success. The "old man Rogers was per-

his rendition of that character Mr.. O'Don-

sented one of those unfortunate beings,

dragged to parties by his ambitious wife

tation; and the same restless Mrs. Rog-
ers is bent on marrying her daughter
Esmarelda' to French Marquis, for
whom she has no love, and whose love for
her is only because of the money she is
supposed to be heir to. This character Of
the French Marquis was represented by
Mr.. NJ. B. Dean, and very difficult part
it was. But Esmarelda's heart has been
given to young farmer in North Carroll
ma and the gay life at the French metrop-
oils has no charms for her. This charac-
