Abbeys' Uncle Toms Cabin Company
gave very satisfactory performance on
Friday evening last in the Opera House to
a cood-sized audience, though the night
was stormy and cold. Had the evening
been pleasant the audience would have
exceeded the capacity of the building. A
friend over in Piitsgrove tells rs that
enough people in that township to fill the
house would have been there had the
weather permitted. The characters were
in good hands and the show was attractive
and enjoyable The music discoursed by
the two bands in the street parade was
first class, and the orchestra under the
direction of Professor Howard was bang
up. The people seem TO never tire of
Uncle Tom aud Abhey's Company can
come again.
