The mother and her child ren are willing to have mortals, both big and little, come and see their pranks and the golden ducats left by the good mor- tals will be given by the immortal Moth CT Goose to the treasurer of the Fresh Air fund to help this noble charity. Miss Suitor, the young Scotch girl who danc- ed so gracefully at the carnival of opera at Bridgeport, last Spring, is to dance some of her beautiful national dances in Highland costume on this occasion.
