OF Miss Minnie W. Collins who give,a
public reading in Union hall, next Friday
evening. Lucius F. c. iarvin, Senator from
Rhode Island says:
Miss Minnie W Collins, who has given
public reatings. has shown herself to possess
decided ability. She renders the composition
selected whether prose or poetry, grave or
humorous. with equal faithfuness and spirit.
The power TO appreciate and interpret the
masterpieces of literature, requiring as it
does. both natural capacity and cultivated
talent is very rare. This power. however.
Miss Collins possesses in high degree"
We have no need to say that Dockstsders

city next Thursday evening. Everyone 10

When Dockstader and his merry minstrels
we're in town few weeks ago, everybody

their return 10 the city this week. As be

rose Monday night, for the first of the series
of eight performances Docks'ader has far
/, IS uonsence than most of the managers of

funny that it is a treat to see him. The pro
gramme laid out for this week is decidedly
pleasing one and it is not made up of songs
AID saw x. with which every body has long
been familiar Much of the singing is de-
serving of warm commentator, and the end
men are as Jolly as any one could desire,
One of them contributed a song about

equally peculiar shouts. is one of the hits of
the evening.
