In Livingston.

Livingston, April 23.-Considerable
hard work has been done this week
in the city in the way Of clearing up
lawns and Kidding streets and alleys of
rubbish accumulated during the past

dressy appearance of these same sur

decided Improvement in the appearance

public streets. 1t is understood that
measures will be taken this year to
keep owners of cattle allowed to run at

The production of "A Dolls House" at
Hefferin'S opera house Wednesday
evening was a decided Improvement
over most plays which come this way.
The play attracted all of the residents
of the city who draw their lineage from
Scandinavian sires. for Henrik Ibsen is
the pride of the Norseman everywhere.
and in applauding the actors on the
stage the Dane and Norwegian paid a
tribute to the greatest of all modern
authors in their fatherland. The bills
said that Ibsen lived in Munich, but
those of his countrymen who sat in the
audience disputed the statement and
said he resided at Christiana, where he
was born. The play was a good one,
