Allies that he has merit. In last weeks lets
ter appears the following: "Veritas had the
honor to serve on the Grand Jury land it is
an honor as only the best citizens are select

there is a contest between evil and good
fairies, pointing an excellent moral 1t will

the following Mrs. s. D. Sloan was Van
derbilt, and is one of the richest women in
New York. She spends 100000 a year
house keeping and has gold and silver tabl
service worth over 100000. She is very
charitable. She can afford it,"

FINED.--Burgess Cover got his official hand
in during the latter days OF last week AMI the
result was eight or ten fined and veral hung
up for future actloti. II appears that num-
Der of our boys haye gotten somewhat
beyond the mark in the matter of disorder
on the streets. When the bali started to roll
IL gathered about all the snow that came in
its path 1t cannot be doubted that Mr.. Cover
got them nearly or quite all. There are
now just about ten pairs of lynx eyes aiding
in preserving public order and woe to the
unwary begetter Of turmoil on our streets;
the evidence will be overwhelming against
him.

was most pronounced success The music
was well rendered several Of the parts ex-

tina part of several for whom this was their
first public appearance. The costumlng was
great feature and the action throughout
was natural and expressive.
Allowing for pardonable bias, our claim
that much merit was shown, must really be
permitted to have some weight we are
proud of our ability to produce with strictly
home talent anything of the musical dramatic
and spectacular merit that was evidenced by
the Cantata of Rebecca.
The receipts exceeded sixty dollars.
