Z Our Dover Letter.
Correzpondence Of the Republican.

Down, Del. March 12--One of the
most enjoyabl6 entertainments we
have had here Tor some time was the
Musicale" In the Opera House on
Wednesday evening last. The flute
solos of Mr.. TrlDkaus apd the plano
accompaniment of Miss Delaney were
really exquisite. whilst Mr.. Fuller as q
mimic. vocalist aud an elocutionist
was delightful. Mr.. ". 4. Smithers
gave us once more his limitations OF
Booth, as "Richelieu;n Lawrence Bar
rett, as "Cassius;" and j. X. Emmett,

about time that this business WIS
set down on SO hard that all tho int er-
ested ling would learn lesson.
lie says that in 1890 this tramp bust
ness cost the county thousands of
dollars, and that one Justice of the
Peace, whose official bill legitimately
should not have been more than So,

the tramp catcher's bill for witness
fees, was equally morstrous.
