home talent in Helena two or three evenings
last week for the benefit of the Library, and
is pronounced by several we have heard
mention 1t the best amateur performance
they ever witnessed. Miss Lena 4. Wallace
appeared as Patience; Mr.. A. NJ. Thornburgh
As Bunttorne; Mr.. Charles w. Penrosc, (of
Missoulal, ~ Grosuenor, and Mr.. H. w.
Child as Col. Caiueriy. Mrs. d. w. Fisk was

thing in connection with the entertainment

the opera In the Independent. When Arthur
and Sullivan want another opera they should
get Piatt for an assistant.
