applause of the large audience proved
last night. The singing of the company
and merry pranks OF Peters kept the
audience in good humor throughout
the evening, and the laughter was as
frequent as the applause. He has a
faculty OF keeping his audience in a
steady laugh. The Old Soldier" Mr..
Peters, and his companions are bound
for success throughout the country.

Miss Rame Austen, beautiful young
