One of our enterprising citizens has attached a pressure gauge to his hydrant in order to see just how much pressure the waterworks is furnishing.

Bruin ha vine heard of the forest children, guards well the treasures hidden in the cot. While at a meal the bears hear the merry forest children and hasten to scatter the foe, returning with a loud hurrah for Bruin, Mam my Muff and Tiny Cub. The queen reveals her secret to Golden Hair, and promises wealth and beauty if the young princess will go and steal the jewels for her coronet The faithful bard again appears and warns lier or coming danger. As night is approaching, Golden Hair reclines upon a grassy mound, while the bard's sweei lulla by soon carries her to dreamland. The three bears, on an evening stroll, discover the little maiden, but are frightened away by the Will-o'-the-Wisp, who calls the children from far and near to twi light rest Again the bard's sooth ing lullaby quiets the group, till npdding, they all fall asleep. A new day finds Golden Hair in the home of the three bears. Bruin and family being away, the maiden examines the cot, tastes the por ridge, and tests chairs and beds, till wearied she falls asleep upon tiny cuo s coucn. rue Dears, re turning, declare that some one has been in. Golden Hair is finally .uffht upon tiny cub's bed, and the bears, in great excitement, proceed to secure the cot, lest she escape, torgettincf an open lattice window near by. The voice of the bard is again heard, below the window, calling her to come quickly for her life. She hurries to the window, and waving a "good bye' to the three bears, is soon off through the wood, to the astonish ment of the horrified bears. The forest children are now searching for their lost one through the wood. Faithful reveals the fact that their queen nas Detuned Lrolden lair into a snare, which has probably been the cause of her death. The enraged children depose the queen from the throne, and in sadness e retires in disgrace from forest land. The merry voice of Golden Hair is heard in the distance, re turning with the Bard. The happy children hasten to greet her, and cheerily escort her back to the lovely vale. The ancient bard is crowned in place of the fallen queen and the operetta closes with the loud echo of Loiifif live our noble King." fJort h piatte jamniei- Itomal Commencing June 24th, ending August 3d.
