The play and farce given for the benefit
of the high school Thursday evening was a
great success, and met with full house
The parts were well adapted and the act
ing admirable. Principal Sherwin took the
part oil the unScrupulouS on hichdiu Hos1
excelIently and Frank Gibson as the fasci-
mating Major Murray, the ,Jacobite, SO
deeplyin love with the pretty and graceful
Lady Somerlord, who braved all dangers
for his sake, sustained the interest without
tagging, while the coquettsh Patty Pottle,
and John Duck, the inimitable and the ire
pressible, were capital and brought down
the house every time. Miss Mary Maynard
Z as Widow Pottle was an unrivalled success
and deserves an especial paragraph of com
incubation, and we doubt if the actors of
1855 did themselves more credit. The
farce was very bright, and Michael Dris-
coll as the bewhiskered Singleton Coddle
afflicted with deafness which was suddenly
and miraculously cured, and Miss DriscoIl
as his daughter, the romantic and sentimen-
tai Miss Byzantine, were especially good.
The parts of Washington Whitwell. and
Jane the servant, taken by Arthur Davis
and Mrs. Hayward were very amusing and
well acted Between the acts a reading
was given by Minnie Hathaway and piano
