on an account annexed, and also upon a
special contract. Subsequently in the
same year tie plaintiff became bankrupt
under the act of 1867, and received his dis.

pointed, did not appear in the case, nor did
the bankrupt's schedule of assets set forth
any of the notes, accounts or claims EN-.
braced in the suit, which stood on the
docket without further disposition until
March 1892
Held That such items of estate, cor

Hi Henry's company appears. This COM

Bangor News of Saturday, Sept 81, has
the following:
Hi Henry S minstrels drew an audience
that filed the Opera house from orche5-
ira rail to gallery wall, Friday night, and
the attendance was none too good for the
merits of the performance. For two hours
and forty minutes the people were enter
tanned in Il manner that left no cause for
criticism--in fact, everybody got more
than his moneys worth 1t would re-
quire a column to make separate mention
of all the excellent features of the per-
Torrance, and it is enough to say that
on the whole 1t was an entertainment
satisfactory in every way from start to
finish.
HI Henry and his fine band aud orches-
ira contributed much to the success OF
the performance, and the bronze statuary
posing of the Lansels was vast improve
ment over the old knock about farce
which has for years been used to drive
people out Of the theatre after minstrel
performance

and Mr.. Willard cables that the prospects

Thunderer says of the production: Mr..
Augustus Thomas has thus met success
with the first piece from his pen that has
been seen in London. He has graceful
gifts of fancy and at times of poetic die
ton, and he certainly has the knack OF
bringing down the curtain upon effective
situations. No louder laughter was heard
during the evening than at the close OF
the first act, when a slight tendency to
slowness in getting to work with the story
was fully atoned for by an unexpected and
most humorous coup that fairly brought
