The acting of the boys was really good in most in stances, and elicited the most hearty applause. As friends of fun and frolic, we think we may be allowed to say that several of tiieir “bits'’ were overdone, and that several others, not local, were on too low a plane to be put before the audience they had. These faults the boys assure us will not appear in any future pro gramme. and if they do not, the general public will show llicir ap predation of what was otherwise a good performance liy a large at tendance.

Messrs Editors: I ask here, through the columns of your valuable paper to give ex pression to a few thoughts that have for sotne time liecn on my mind. I am a Cutlibert man in every acceptation of the term; was born in the town, grew to man hood within its limits, anil expect to sleep my last long sleep itt its peaceful cemeteries. It is thus that I claim the privilege of writ ing in the interest of ourlicauti ful little city, and ask the calm, thoughtful consideration of our lieiqile to the subject matter of my communication. It requires but a superficial knowledge of our town to sec that wc have rctrogadul—lost in every thing that goes to build up and sustain a city, and are in great danger of losing faith in ourselves and the future ol Cutlibert. Now what must we do to stop this backward tendency in otti affairs? In order to answer this most important question correctly, let us see just what wc are doing that lias brought blight ami mildew upon our prospects, seeing which, I take it. every ouc will admit the wisdom of calling an immediate halt and reversing our course. Well. In the first place, what are we doing to build up—even sustain our pel institutions? Wc ail admit the very existence of Cutlibert as a city of any charac ter or importance, depends on our Colleges. Wc talk this at home and abroad, yet I ask again what Cutlibert man or Cutlibert woman is really, earnestly anti heartily engaged in the effort to build up our Colleges and add to their character and usefulness? Take Andrew College to-day, and how is it? Why, 1 am as sured that its support—meagre as it is—depends more than two- thirds upon the patronage of non residents and strangers. We publish to the world the excellen cies of our Colleges, that others may be induced to patronize them, and yet withhold our own support, aud send our children elsewhere to school. We cx|>eut the officers ol these institutions to speed their time and means in “drumming” for students abroad, while we, as a community, are utterly indiffer ent as to our duties in the premis es. While this applies forcibly to our Female College, it also ap plies to the Male College in our midst. We have even ceased to talk constantly and earnestly for our Colleges—many of us allow ing ourselves to make disparag ing remarks and unfavorable com parisons with other schools. We come now to consider our duties, one towards another, as citizeus of the same town, sup posed to have a community of iu tcrest. How many of the readers of this article have tried to do their “mite” in building up our city by sustaining with Ibeir pat ronage its merchants? How many of you have speDt your money at home? It is a fact, to be con fessed with regret, that every large city iu the stale (and very many out of it) has its regular customers in Cutlibert. I might goon almost indefinite ly. but have said enough to show that we have but to "cease to tlo evil and learn to do well” to be come once more prosperous at home and respected abroad. Every citizen of Cutlibert is proud of her prospects to-day. Would that every one had the faith and the tongue of my friend “Hub” Elder. Why, we could soon lie great by the force of our own confidence. Let us all, men, women and children resolve that Cutlibert is great. That whatever is a part of Cutlibert is great, ami that we will show our faith by our worka, giving to home institutions such as go to build up and give char acter to our city, our full, hearty and constant support. We live in Cntbbert—it is our beautiful well- beloved home, and for it we will speak sod think and act, nor have ought to do with anything or anybody speaking or acting against Us welfare. Yours truly, At Home. •om-OSED BY H. TV. l.EAII, OF Till C. M. E. council. The Ark was seen'to rest.
