set the stage back about thirty feet, and
fitted it mp handsomely, with private
box on either side. The decorations are
tasteful and neat, and when completed
will be very attractive. Ample dressing
rooms have been built, and 1t will be a
model of convenience. The stage is a lit
tie more than twenty feet square, has its
own street entrance. and in every way
will meet with the demands OF those who
have occasion to use it. The side CALLER

gallery will be brought forward ten feet,
and it will be seated with chairs, while

So passed away, after brief illness, a
noble woman-a devoted wife and
mother. She was gentle and unassum-
ing, warmly attached to her friends, and
enjoying the affection of all who knew
her. Of retiring disposition, she never
thrust herself prominently forward in
social circles. but within the circle OF her
acquaintainces she was held in the high
est esteem for those exalted Virtues
which adorn womanhood. Charitable
in thought as in deed, her delight was in
making Others happy, and the reward
promised to such is hers is the fullest
measure.
