A class of rum peddlers living on
Lake street and vicinity, have been

The Beedle and Prindle Pleasure
Party gave their entertainment in the
Opera Hall last week, and the attend
ance both evenings showed the
popularity of the troupe. In making
preparations for the tour of the com
ing season, no pains seems to have
been spared in obtaining first-class
musicians, actors and specialists to
form a combination that cannot fai

for Mr.. Prindle, who plays an impor
tant part, and is host IN himself.
On Thursday, the 18th inst, par

of Stickney & Glover's store, a

1t is possible that the same person
or persons, who broke the safe at TIT
depot bere, had something to do will
the Woodsville matter.
