Frank Mayo in " Hamlet
A fair sized audience gre ted Frank
Mayo in Hamlet" last evening. Not
withstauding the favorable notices the
press gave Mr.. Mayo aud his troupe, our
citizens expected Hamlet to be butchered

talent, made &" D.,vy Crockett - what it is,

During the performance last evening the

number of drunken men III the gallery
talking. IL was very unpleasant to the

were heard on all sides. There was also q
scttO in the entry, but by the pluck OF

policemen were present, but made 40 at
tempt to arrest them. They never do :
but had the persons been tramps, then the
situation would have been changed imme

A "Base Lie' Nailed.
1t will be remembered that on the 2lst
inst, the Vigilant fire company gave IL
complimentary and benefit ball for Mr..
Samuel Blackson, and that it was q sue
cess. AIso that on Washinston's 5 birth
day they had a number of friends from the
Union fire company of York. The EIgics
are very hospitablc set of young ma:i,
and always treat their guest in tho bast
manner. This was carried ont on We'd
neSday, as the largo number of beer kng1
and the remains Of the banquet showed.
The money to purchase eatableS and
drinkah!es was raised by the inem-
bcrs of the company paying for them
cut OF their own pockets. Aud now they
are accused of paying for it out of the
money made at the ball. This is base
lie. Mr.. David Coleman was the head
man of the ball and The money was en-
trusted to his keeping. When the things
were bought lie had the money safely at
home. 1t is shame that this un-
true and despicable report should
be circulated about TIE above COM
pany. All the members are hard
working men, and it would be a strange
thing to find them without dollor or two
in their pockets. MT. Coleman: honesty
cannot be questioned. and if those evil
minded persons who raised tho report ,a:c
not satisfied they can call on him and liH
out what the expenses of the bali were );
that he gave Mr.. B:ackson si5.23 and
how many tickets were sod, and Tic
amount of money raised by subs ,rir:ion
