"YoUNG MRS. WINTHRoP."-The Madison
Square Theatre Company, SO justly popular
with our theatre-goers, added another leaf to
their laurels on last Monday night, at the OPP
era House, in the play of young Mrs. Win
throp." Though the play is lacking in plot
yet it isadmirable for its purity and simplicity
and grows in interest as it progresses. The
character of the old family lawyer, who, in his
pretended effort to bring about a separation OF
the estganged pair, really reunites them, and
that of Mrs. Chetwyn, the mueh-divorced and
REMARKED woman, are the onlysstrong charac-
tiers in the play, and were splendidly portrayed.
The character of the blind sister was admira-
BILE in its utter simplicity and naiveness, and
was extremely well personated. In fact, the
whole caste was good and thorough in their
parts and gave an evenings entertainment
that was highly enjoyed and added another
evidence of the we'll deserved reputation of the
Madison Square Company for presenting only
dramas Of high order

On SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

AFTER THIRTY-THREE. YEARS.-A
Philadelphia man reached Lowell,
Mass, several days ago on strange
quest. About thirty-three years ago,
George Toy took to himself wife in
that city. but deserted her after few
weeks. Mrs. Toy was poor and had a
hard struggle TO support herself and the
little girl that came to her after a few
months. Several years passed, and Mrs.
Toy, tired of the fight with poverty, and
losing all hope of Georges return. mar
ried another. This union was not
happy one, and soon separation was
agreed upon and divorce followed. A.
third husband was added to the list,
who died two years ago. About seven
months ago the widow in the third de-
gree, because of illness and restitution,
was compelled to become guest at the
City Farm. Meantime the daughter
had been married, but was unable to
contribute to her mothers support A
day or two ago an elderly gentleman
called at the poorhOuse to see the moth
er. 1t was George Toy Recognition
was mutual. Toy proffered her his
band again; it was accepted, and Mon
day evening the broken chain was re-
united by a clergyman. Tuesday morn
ing the bridal couple called upon their
daughter, whose acquaintance Mr. Toy
was glad to make. and in the evening
took a train for Philadelphia, where
their home will be. During his years
of absence Toy spent much time in the
Western States and Territories, where
he accumulated considerable property.

to neighbours house and told him
the sick ones were dying But they
came dangerously near death. One is
