'mJ»XUATXACHThe entertainment given by Winslo wLocal Talent in Ija Trade’s Opera House bn the eyeing of ^the 17th was decidedly a 80!d^financial ppQ-A crowded house peeted the performers, which ■ addbd ' greatly to their courage in the r^dilion pf their r^es-peoiive pmrts assig^e^ It was said by several older residents of Winslow, that a larger assembly of people were never witnessed^in pur opera house. This fac^ is undopbtedly due to the esteem in which the local talent of burr ♦ ♦ city is ever held, which is, no doubt, highly-commendable for' the residents of our cbmmnnity, and it is to be sincerely hoped that the impetus thus be-V ♦ * ♦ ’ .gun will be always repe^^^ when local talent occupies the?‘bbards.”The concert cbitsisted of twelve num-bera, among thein solos, duets, vocal splos and recitations. Being numerous^ it would be almost impossible ^to par-ticnlarizbj but suffice it to say that theV ♦different numbers were carefully se-lected and eyquiaitely rendered, whichstatement has been well suDstantiatedby the^ hearty ^applause, congratulations and favorable expressions^ of praise from a i^ge and apprecmtiveaudiencA. »The curtain wai8:45 p. m., iand the m programmewas concluded at 9:55. Afte^an intermission of five zmhutes, the curtain was again £elevated, and the one act farce, “Lend Me Pive Shillings,” wasbegun. If the readers pf The Mail will refer to thet copy of the 12th, they will find a synapsis of this farce, and in. consequence, the same is omitted here. 'The oharactOT of Mrs. Major Phohbs was very credi^bly filled by Mrs. John Ptfllar. The vKbns and pleasing at-titndes, modes pf : expression and tactwhich this ohatacter requires are very seldom to be fouhd inone and the same person in the dei^ee which this ladyproved herself in possession of. Thatthis was not her first appearemce beforethe footlights,,was very evident from* ' * »the self-possession she exhibited, the firmness of voice and ibe ease and graceof her movemehts whilst upon the stage. Her solicitude for her sister-in-law seemed at times to be thwarted by the want of B^ot^neas by that same lady, afid pJso? by^tfabbraf^^ of oneMoreland, afi pjidst; ‘ Even this sister-in-law’s husb^d did nnfisAAm to com-of the audience. - It i^^that-Zthe-TchaT j^rtray' iwhich wouldiMrmit to her histrionic abilities to bettfer ^ad-vantage; still we may indulge in the fond hope that in the hear future we will have the Tileasure of seeing her in . .'■**' , i . 1. .. *a'role which will El^® heran bppurtun-ity to-exhibit her Superior facpltieawith, whicfaf she^ is uhquestibnably..I '• •• • • • • * I » « .r •Mr. Giaiigbtly^ thb^^h^ing, wasraoeurately impersonated byour worthyrDisffict; Attorneyj H.Burt)agA^Tb::baJ^part with^prec^ibhS^only be vbioih^the ienMments cff hiswmm4^heHlt;tupihedofff.. •.* .k*.tb.^,w*f^ennutie.®mmy.many adiniret'S ■ Theyarious lt;Hlehim•Aand mortificatioiis whiehthe gentleman fouhd /himself ^ ^^9?^ timer to ^-time,were readily understood and hugelyen joyed by the aqdiencp..; At timeswould be buoyant and bopefcd thpet schemes to“raise the wind” would be realized; but his fond expectationswould almost invariably be rewarded by dismal failures. Yet he was not to be disconcerted by fiisappointments;»i»p « ^ •he felt thorQUghly cohvmced—like Mi-caber in Charles Dickens’ David Cop-perfield—that something would eventually “turn up.” He was constantly laboring under the delusion that Mrs. Major PhobbW-whose fair hand andgraces he untiringly sought—was a married woman. He mistook her actions in behalf of her sister-in-law agamst Moreland, the artist, to be really an affection forthe artist himself; consequently whoD. he realized that the widow’s hand was “to be had for the asking” his delight knew no bounds. Despite his inabOity tp borrpw the paltrysum of five shillingsifie had the piness to re^izOj through the assistance of friends, the object upon whichhe had set his heart.• ' , • ' *1 ' *The role of Captain Phobbs was admirably set forth by Mr. Geo. A- Wolff. This character is by no means an easy one to portray. Ih Varions instances we notice that firmness, jealousy and good nature are e:^ibited in so many breaths, yet that geiitle^nan proved himself equal to every emergency, and this multifarious temperament was detected and highly appreciated by all. Theinstances wherein he proposes a duelwith Golightly are especially amusing.In each case, some one intercedes or interferes, inaehto the delight of the latter gentleman. - Only in the end^ofby their brotherfyunquestionable, eyidence of the siii-cerity of their feelings. .*'%*r f i *The partjOf' Sam, the waiter, was ele-tntly produced by Mr. Praok Hrehtz. l-The midst impdrtaht duty of aJ^waiter is/tdiehdeavdr to ’ please all pa^onsf^ .

Whether this rulingwas madein those interests or not, this is certamly the effect of the ruling. The Gazette says Delegate Smith talk-ed with Binger Hermann and that worthy said there was no intention of rul-^ ing mesquite tp be timber, but the ruling came, nevertheless.
