fell while nobly defending the land they
loved so well.
The programe was opened with the
“Historic .Chamber,” in which was
nrayed quite a number of “figures,”
representing the characters to be de
lineated. “ Mrs. Jarlcy” (Master
Andrew Lipscomb) stepped to the
front, and in an admirable manner,
began her address, after the style so
well described by Dickens. In the
course of her remarks, she saw fit to

pletly frustrated our naturaiy modest
aud retiring self, that we were
declared, by a friend near, to be “ un
lit for further service.”
The first thrust made at us by her
keen sword, was, “ that upon her
arrival in the city, the editor of this
paper had met her at the depot and
promised her a “puff.” Now, this we
most emphatically deny. We have
frequently met “the old lady” on Col
lege avenue, and thought, when our
visiou rested upon her long, gawky,
lean, cadaverous carcas, that surely
she needed “putting” up as bad as
any one we knew, and often expressed
a desire to fill in the frame so thinly
settled (with flesh), for its corporate
limits. Wcatone time contemplated
purchasing 80,000 feet of gas, with
which to “puff up” the “female,”
but wo were advised by several of her
friends, not, by any means to resort to
such an experiment, as there was no
other ingredient in her entire “ make
up ” but gas, nnd very poor gas at that.
But to return to our account. Mrs.
Jarley performed her part admirably
throughout, and elicited much| ipplausc.
Where all performed their part so
well, we think it unfair to discriminate.
The ladies, especially, engaged in the
performance, deserve the highest en-
coniums. To them, chiefly, the great
success of the exhibition may be at
tributed, for by their untiring persever
ance nnd good example the gentlemen
connected therewith received an ex
ample which, we are happy to say,
they did their utmost to imitate.
To properly appreciate this enter
tainment, one must first read Dickens’
account of “Mrs. Jarley’s Great Moral
Exhibition.” But we do think, if that
reat novelist had been present last
ening, he would have admitted that
month, the prewnt year. This condition is nee- the entertainment fully came up to his

dered by the Board, that at every place in the
county where a suitable house has been or shall be

the following conditions:

A called meeting of Council

The Mayor stated that Council had

The following bill was ordered to be

entire affair. The posse first went to
the house of Holliday, aud learning
that he was out in one of his fields, im
mediately proceeded to the field.
When first seen by Holliday, they were
in about 75 yards of him, and his
double barrel shot gun was between
him and them. He ran toward them,
with a view to seize his gun.
The officer called to him not to take
his gun, but to surrender quietly, as
he had a warrant for his arrests.
This request was repeated by several
of the posse. Regardless of this, by
