The entertainment in the court house
on Friday evening last, under the aus
pices of the M. E. Ladies' Aid, was en-
joyed by large audience, including a
goodly number from Emerson and St.

very excellent style, and again proved
that Psmbina excels in talent for anna
teur theatricals. Mr.. Ashby, from Emer-
son, assisted with solo, which was en-
Enthusiastically encored. He was accomp-
anied by Mrs. Casselman, of Emerson.
Katie Kneeshaw also pleased the audi
fence with very pretty little solo. The

"old maid, passed before his dreamy
eyes, and made beautiful series of
moving tableaux,-The "Humaphone,"
OF living musical notes, representing the
white and black keys, under the magic
baton OF Herr Augustus Short, was given
an uproarious encore. "The Freezing
of Mother-in-Law," short farce, was
splendidly acted by Mrs. c. B. Harris,
Miss Birdie Wardwell, and Messrs. w.
c. Short Carr and Forster. Any re-
marks that we have space to make are
too brief to do justice to the rendering
OF this play, but will Just say that the
audience was highly pleased. We should
uot forget Miss Moran's jolly Irish rec:-

amusement. A bounteous lunch and
coffee was served at the close of the en-
tainment. AS.
