 Fun at The Opera House.
 The Buffers opened their en- gagement last night at the Opera House to a fair sized audience, and the way it laughed and yell led, they fully redeemed their promise of a most laughable show.
 The Buffers are considered by critics all over the county as be- ing the most expert and reliable hypnotists on the road. Dr. and Mrs. Butler are people of the highest and most refined, moral and intellectual attainments. They never resort to subterfuge or deception in any form. Their work is open, and free from all gross or repulsive scenes. Mrs. Butler is the fun maker of the company, and she soon cap- tivated her audience by her clever and artistic manner of handling her subjects.
 The audience was kept in a constant laugh from start to finish, and at the close all voted it the most Imaginable entertain ment that ever came to New port.
 The Buffers are not to be com pared with other hypnotists com ing to our city. Their work is refined and intensely interesting and one feels a sense of satis- faction and rest after witnessing one of their performances.
 Tonight Dr. Butler will awaken the young man from his long sleep, upon the stage, after which Mrs. Butler will give a most Imaginable performance. The ladies will miss a treat if they fail to see the performances of Mrs. Butler while in the city.
