The entertainment on the evening
of Friday, the Sd inst, given for the
purpose of raising funds for the
Hughes Public Library, proved q
pronounced success. The programme
was a varied one, commencing, after
q few introductory remarks by Mr..
Tucker, with an overture by the
Rugby Brass Band, the faithful rem
derlng of it, giving unmistakable
evidence Of patient perseverance, on
the part Of the members of the band.
The overture was followed by Milton
Welling's we'll known song "fhis is
my dream" which WAS sung with
great effect by Mr.. B. H. Thomas,
accompanied by Miss Hughes on the
piano forte. Some one has said
"Thvse are the sweetest songs which
are sung from the heart" or words
to that effect, which may account
for the true and brilliant pathos
which characterized the singing Of
Dir. Thomas, who, being rapturously
encored, sang "Dream Faces"

in cornet duet, gave very pleas

stage was now taken by our worthy
citizen, MIR. Milmow, who fairly
brought down the house with the
two comic songs entitled "Belle Of
the Ball" and "S&rah's Young Man"
Mr.. Waugh then followed with Il
comic song, which, teeming as it did
with capital local hits, created un

"Villikens and bis Dinah" was sung
by Mr.. Waugh, in that irresistably

from him i'll the shape of a goose
Flickster at first resents the insult
bat finally remembering that he has
never materially expressed his obi
cations to Bonser, the clerk, for
having saved his life, accepts the
goose, and starts off to find Bonser,
at whose house he leaves the goose
with his compliments; in the mean
while the letter informing Clara Of
the contents of the goose, turns up,
and on Fllckstcr's return to Turby's
house, the latter endeavours by willy
means to make Flickster promise to
return the goose, hoping that he
has not found the contents. Flickster
makes the startling revelation that
he has given the goose to Bonser,
when, further concealment being
useless, Turby informs Flickster of
the loss. At this juncture Bonser
enters in q towering rage, intending
to thrash Flickster for what he re-
CARDS ss an insult, when he is sur
prised to find that both lawyers
seem exceedingly anxious to regain
possession of the bird, which, be in
forms them, is now in the hands OF
the dustman. 1t is said that s'truth
is stranger than fiction however,
it was a most remarkable ind timely
coincidence that the dustman should
at this point be heard calling below
the window as he went his morning
round. The two lawyers dash fran
tically into the street, each jostling
with the other in, his endeavour to
regain the goose; they both return,
bringing the goose between them,
which comes in half during the
struggle which ensuss, when the
startling fact is revealed that the
notes are not inside the goose. Both
lawyers Of course, suspect Bonser of
having taken the notes, but he
stoutly and indignantly denies this.
Gen ,ral suspicion is aroused and
melee ensues which might have cul-
minated seriously had it not been
interrupted by Clara with letter
from her aunt, who, having been
prevented from sending the notes in
the goose, enclosed Il cheque for the
$500. The cunning Turby foreseeins
that Clara (who is OK age nd has a
legal right to the money! is bent on
giving Flckster the mitten and
marrying Bonser, becomes recon-
ciled and bestows his blessing on
the devoted couple, whereupon
Flickster, seeing that his game is up,
reminds Turby that he still owes
him a goose and calls forth the fol-
loving memorable pleas from Turby:
Firstly, that he never owed him a
goose; secondly, that he had paid
the goose that he owed; thirdly,
that though the goose was a. bad
one he had a perfect right to give it
to him; fourthly, that the goose was
not a bad one; and filthy, that
Flickster had received the goose and
eaten it!
Much praise is due to the arrange
ment Of the piece, and to the actor
and acting, individually and collec-
lively, MIR. Potbury's impersonation
of the grasping and mi,erly old
lawyer, a study which few will for

But who IS doing the kind Of work the Devil

We are told he does not go about az roaring

But whom shall we hold responsible for the

Horses in Battle.

War horses, when hit in battle
tremble in every muscle and groan
deeply, while their eyes snow deer
astonishment. During the battle Of
Waterloo some of the horses. as they
lay upon the field, having recovered
from the first agony oftheir wounds,
fell 70 eating the grass about them,
thus surrounding themselves with a
circle of bare ground, the limited ex-
tent of which showed their weak
ness. Others were observed quietly
grazing on the field between the two
hostile lines, their riders having been
shot off their backs, and the balls
flying over their heads, and the tu-
mutt behind, before and around
them, caused 10 interruption TO the
usual instinct Of their nature. II
was also observed that when a
charge of cavalry went past near any
of the stray horses already mention
ed they would set OF, form them
selves IN the rear of their mounted
companions. and though without
riders, gallop strenuously along with
the rest, rot stopping or fiinehing
when the fatal shock took place.
At the battle of Kirk, 1745, Major
Mcdonald having unhorsed an Eng
lish officer, took possession of his
horse, which was very beautiful, and
Immediately mounted it. When
the English cavalry fed the horse
ran away with its captor, netwith-
standing all his efforts to restrain
him, nor did it stop until il was at
the head of the regiment of which,
apparently, its master was comman-
der. The melancholy, and at the
same time ludicrous figure which
Mcdonald presented when be saw
himself the victim of his ambition to
possess a fire horse. which ultimate
ly cost him his life upon the scaffold,
may be easily conceived
