 There was big house in attendance last night to see The Convict's Daughter played by local talent. The characters were all very we'll sustained. That of Jerry Weston, a convict tramp, by Daniel McGinness, we consider the best amateur work We ever saw here. Charles W. Haight as James Blackburn, the schemer, was also extra good. The other male characters, taken by George H. Waite. John Snuprue md Edward Miller, were very we'll played Of the three lady ch r acters, Miss Johnson. as Mana Lte. the convicts daughter; Miss Blansfeld. as the | mother, and Miss Close. as servant Tn want of a husband, all did their parts ad- mirably. It is seldom that we see better amateur work than was Tn the scene ln the third act, between Mana, Blackburn and Weston. The piece was we'll staged and costumed The orchestra was very good. There has been many professional com pany here that did much poorer work than the cast in The Convict's Daughter"

There is also a slight difference of Opinior as to whether tax collectable next month should be collected by the old or new col lector.
