THE THEATER.
1t is IA uncommon thing to have three
GOOD attractions at the theRtCr, but last
week the uncommon event happened.
The Gorton MiGstrels retained the reputa-
ton 1t made years since. The impression
got abroad before the show struck the town
that il was not so good ~ i might be, but
the audience was well pleased. 'MiXed
Pickles was not greeted with 3 full
house, but every individual who was there
thoroughly enjoyed himself. The Pickles
got of such dry, good humOr that one
could not resist q smile or Il burst Of
laughter. II the company should stop
here next season the probabilities are that
il would have q full house at maximum
prices. "Rluuh TO- held the boards last
evening toa good audience. Tue great lot
of scenery carried by the show added bril-
liancy to a good play.
