Pepin, Geo. Tanguay, Billy Pepin and
Martin Kimm. Mr.. Kimm was the
only william in the play and for the
benefit of those who have not had the
pleasure of his acquaintance in private
life, we would say that he is not any
thing like he appeared on the stage,

depositing their money in the Mer
chants National bank. The special

speeches by Rev. Father Campeau and
Mr.. Mahaney. an instrumental duet by
