LEONE LOCAL CHAT.


The Hotchkins Concertin Feller's Hall
on Tuesday night was ENJOYABLE Fl eycrv
sense of the word. The Hall WasH far
once comfortably warmed. and about
two-thirds filled with an audience who
did not feel called upon to rive vent to
calls =
II IS not as rule. in the bills, but it
adds greatly.to the pleasure of the audi
ence and the actors, as well assto the gem
eral effect of the play, to see Sir Fran
cas- Levison, nagged beyond endurance
by such an element, leave a weeping
Isabel to keep up the stage farce while
he drops the role of villain long enough
to advance to the foot lights and eritreat
other villains in the rear part of the Hall
TO at least try to copy the demeanor of
gentlemen, if for that day and date only.
And 1t has happened so more than once.
II some one in authority in this city
would send special policeman upon
such occasions to take charge of this mob
element, and give him carte blanche to
dispose of offenders by kicking them
down the stairs and out of doors, fif with
4 No. 10 foot, and a boot of 6 Kauf-
man s y make, SO much the better), we
are safe in assuring him the gratitude of
every good citizen and citizeness, and
The office of Mayor whenever he wants
to sit down with that insignia of popular
lty. With the absence of rowdyism,
and the excellence of the entertainment,
even the benches were endurable. The
Hotchkins family are exceptionally
gifted musicians. The violin solo rem
dered by Miss Hattie, -Mendelsohn'
Poets Harp-I have heard Wienaski
play, and for one SO young as she, there
can be nothing inyidious in comparison
with his rendering of it and hers. Miss
Julia sang very sweetly. The song,
: Riding in a Sleigh, was especially
admired by Geo. c., who fully apprecia-
ties the sentiment of it. MISS Anna,
am told, plays upon sixteen different in
but it was her rendition of
Natures natural music that brought out
The applause of the house, and the senti-
ment from the hearts of the gentlemen,
none of whom can whistle half so we'll
and with so little distortion of their pretty
mouths and handsome faces.
So
Look out for visitors unannounced.-
Town has been over run with sneak
thieves in the apparel of gentlemen
Several houses ON Burke st. have been
early in the evening, by one of
this fraternity. In one case he was met
in the hall by one of the ladies, who
promptly started him off. In the other
instance he had time to go into the par
Tor and transfer to his pockets pair of
very valuable vases when discovered
he got away without suspicion by asking
some plausible questions with reference
to boarding house, and residents of the
town. In many instances articles have
been stolen from Railways, and doors
have been tried by strangers.
There are perhaps times when as
woman IS weapon the broomstick is well
enough, but in the case of such intru-
ders, woman ought to be able to hold a
revolver without trembling. and to use
it with discretion, and effect if necessary.
Talking of Kinks, somebody ought to
fence in East King St., just by King St.
Hall, for an Ice Rink. There is a leak of
water somewhere Whereabouts that the
drainage does not catch on to, and that
will next summer offer first class in
ducements to the cholera to settle here
unless our board of health takes charge
of it. 1t held forth last summer with
pungent odor, and fashionable shade
of green covering its placid bosom-a
watering place for ducks and the spor-
tive blue bottle fly nuisance to every
body with any sight or sense of smell.
Jones has watch on display in his
window that must have originally be-
longed to the Cardiff Giant. see the
small boy gaze at it in a covetous reverie
l sympathized with him, too, l always
do he is not half SO miserable a sinner
as his elders make him out to be. l al
most feel tempted in spasm of original
sin, to double up my hand into fist-like
attitude, knock it thro' the glass, and
grab handful of the tempting beauties
in jewelry and gems; but l refrain l
thought with one OF the aforementioned
boys, what good time we could have
if it wasn't for God and the policemen.
