"Joshua Simpkius" Tonight

The sensational rural comedy drama,
Joshua 3impkins," will be produced
at the Opera House tonight. The play
contains an interesting and Ineligible
plot, but it is not allowed to interior
with the fun, which is said to be in
abundance. During the run of the play
some startling scenes and situations are
seen, the principal of which is said to be
the sawmill, in the third act, shown
in complete operation, cutting up real
timber. The saw used is genuine, the
same as is usually seen in large country
sswmilis. An excellent band and fine
orchestra accompany this attraction. The
band parsded at noon all being dressed
as farmers, when some good music
was rendered.
The Joshua Simpkins" country band
gave a concert at the corner Of King
and Royal streets today and will give a
concert in front of the Opera House at
O'Clock tonight. The baud is composed
of talented musicians and the music was
very fine.
