Scenery, Props &c.

Special new Scenery and Props on
the same style exactly as that used in
the London production has beer pain
ted by Seavey & Co., of New York City
for the American performance of Col.
Theodore Hoppenheimer's great Lon
don production of Widow Murphy's
Goat. This is purely acomedy-d drama
in three acts. 1t is extremely funny
and is full Of songs, Irish reels, dances
etc. In fact there is not a dull mo-
ment in the play. The action of the
play causes laughter from beginning to
end. The scenery is made to fit any
stage in America and will positively be
used in our city during the presenta-
ton of Widow Murphys Goat.

First: A teacher is not responsible
where there is no capacity. Second {:
A teacher can have little responsibility
where there is no spiritual perception.
Third: Where character is crystaliz-
ed and fixed and settled, a teacher is
not responsible for the teaching. But
the teacher is responsible for the man.

state to the counsels of her cabinet. In
that she displays much better Judgment

sugar business, our principal industry,
has received a severe blow, owing to
the admission Of that product into the

dollars sacrificed" Aef
