Marshall Messenger: Last Fri
day evening Longfellow's 'Evange-
line" was presented in tableaux and
pantomine, with Mr.. Chas. B. Ken
dali reader. The presentation was
for the benefit of the Episcopal
church, and was participated in by
about forty people, under Mr.. Ken
dall's direction and training. The
several pictures, without exception,
were finely presented, and it would
be difficult to pick out the best. 1t
speaks we'll for the merit of the pro-
duction that everyone of the large
audience went away with express
sions of pleasure and surprise. The
choral effects introduced and the
colored lights enhanced the impress
siveness of the pictures, and the
butterfly ballet was a feature. In
one of the scenes Mrs E. G. Patter-
son introduced a solo, which was
much appreciated, and between the
parts little Holiday recited in a par
| ticularly charming manner.

A Sudden Introduction.

A Philadelphia paper tells funny
story Of the blizzard days Of last win
ter IN that city. A certain Mr.. K. had
over his dining room a skylight which
was burdened with a great weight of
snow, and early one evening he took a
snow shovel and went up to remove it.
He shoveled it off, and then it occurred
to him that he would perform the same
service for his next door neighbor,
whose dining room lay side by side
with his own, the construction of the
two houses being alike.
The inmate Of the next house was a
worthy widow. whom MIR. X. had new.
or met, but with whom his wife was
on calling terms.
Mr.. K. proceeded to position from
which he could, as he supposed, safely
shovel off the snow, but in doing so he
made q false step and got on the sky

through the aperture went Mr.. K.
