L
ming proved to be both surprise and 9
success: a surprise to those who had I'M
derrated the amount of histrionic talent
in the Clubs possession, and a success
in that the performers, without single
exception, acquitted themselves in every
detail of the two plays without the least
confusion or hitch from first to last. AS
an amateur performance, and the first OF
the kind in which some of the characters
had ever participated, it was far above
the average, and that the audience was
thoroughly pleased throughout the fire.
quent and hearty applause given bore
ample testimony. OF course this is very
gratifying to the members, and will en-
courage them in their intention to give
several more entertainments Of this sort
in the near future. Where each and all
did so well in their parts it is unneces-
sary to note them in detail-"h onors
were even" all around. If you were not
present you missed good thing, SO be
sure to attend the next. Another pleas
ing feature of the evening was the mu-
sic furnished by the selected orchestra
under Prof Harris, of which the audi
ence was prompt to make recognition.

R. Bryant had an experience week
ago that he would not care to repeat,
and which would have killed him had a
physician not been in the house at the
time. 1t appears that Miss Lyon, who
boards with him, had been prescribed
aconite by the physician, and she had it
in cup and was about to prepare some
for use. She left the cup near the pail
of drinking water and went to her room
to get something. Meantime Mr.. Bry-
ant came in and took the cup, filled it
with water and drank it. When Miss
Lyon returned she asked for the medi-
cine, and it was then discovered that he
had taken about sixteen drops of the
poison. DIR. Frank Webb happened tc
be in an adjoining room with Geo. Hunt
er. He at once gave strong emetics and
after time of suspense and anxiety
succeeded in removing the poison from
Bryant's stomach. Had any time been
lost his life could not have been saved
