VIEWPOINT.

One of the very best productions by amateurs was the play entitled 'fStrtk- ing Oi1'', given under the auspices Of Pootatuck Grange at the town nall Tuesday evening. The large audience present were agreeab1y surprised. Mrs Herbert Wright as the wife of Joseph Watson a retired Western farmer, with aristocratic notions; James B. their daughter, Mrs. John J. Northrop, acted we'll their respective parts. Mrs. Northrop more than pleased with her perfectly natural and easy manner' Mrs. James B. Nichols as maid, d!o her small part equally well. as dld Mrs. Wallace Mitchell in the imper- Watson, who captured Solomon Steady (Char1es G. Peck). Mrs. Frank Mitch ell as the widowed aunt from the lit tie Connecticut town of NeWtoWn' came in for a good share of praise, her local hits helping out considerably. The part of the English Lord was ably presented by Austin N. Botsford, and with the part of Edward Pitzschler, an escaped lunatic, were both a fine support to the cast MT. Pitzschlerf made the most of a difficult character Cousin Joes' visit, capa,bly presented, brought to finish a most pleasant evening and one of which the members of Pootatuck Granre can be congrat- ulated. In the latter farce the cast was as follows: MT. Foozle, Charles G. Peek Mrs RoGzlg, 7oe Mrs Afsin 6ofT ford.
