Rossi, in the tendrr, lich tones of her
lively voice. and responded with Kevin's
"Oh. that wo two were Mayirg."
Mr. Haydn Myor's tine tenor voice was
heaid to advantage in Cocchois "Since
thou art mine."
But second to none of the, vo:al num
bers in interest were the violin, solos of
Mr. Charles Ilagenow. The sweet tones
were drawn from his instrument with a
light cess and certainty that charms-d
bis hearers. His selections weie Wienia
wafki's "Polonjiee de Concert" and "La
Melancholic" by Pru me.
The program closed with a quartets in

The biting, wintry weather prevented
many from enjojing the performances
of tbe Mackay comic opera company on
Thursday and Friday evenings at tbe
Funke. This excellent company de
serves crowded houses, as the voices are
, u liformly good and the music timeful.
"Said Pasha" which was given Tbuis
day, is by an American composer, Rich
ard S'ahl' and abounds in spirited.
I r ght choruses, dancs and melod ous
solos. The greatest originality bowevei ,
is shown in the humorous pails and the
jokes, which are innocent and extremely
amusirg.
The scenes changing from Constanti
nople to India, allow the picturesque ef
fects in costumes, and groupings. The
chorus, while not large, contain? so
manj excellent voices, that the pretty
airs are cot only pleasant to hear, but
are satisfactorily rendered from a musi
cal standpoint.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
In "The Hoosier Doctor." Augustus
Thomas' latest success, there are many
absolutely new departures in comedy
scenes and love episodes, as well as Borne
pathetic bits and heart touches.
One particularly f fleet ivo comedy
scene is connected with a typewriter
machire. The comedian affects to dic
tate a It tter to bis brother, and so makes
a proposition' of marriage to the pretty
trpewriter.
Another effective fc ne is the pro
po6aI of. marriage between Tom, the
"journeyman printer," and Mait""a. the
"Hcosier Doctor's" favorite daughter.
The visit of tbe white capnicg committee'
in the last act, for the purpose of dieci
pliningthe doctor and his new bride is
intensely dramatic. In "The Hoosier
Dcctor," Mr. Thomas haB written his best
and mrst effective play. As for Digby
Bell's individual performance. I need
only quote the eastern press which, with
one accord, concedes his "Hooe-ier Doc-"
tor"' performance to equal anything ever
attempted by Joseph Jefferson or Nat C.

The secret of the great success of

An Old-Time Dunning Letter-.
It often remarked that with the
forefathers, courtesy was a stud;ed art
that recent generations do not hive time
to cultivate. This is quite well illustrat
ed in the following letter which was
shown a reporter a short time ago:
WniTEsToWN. lCJune, 1703.
"Honoured Sir. A few months ago
you did me the honor to become my
debtor for the purchase of ccods at my
store amnuntirg to 12 dollarp and eight
een pence. I have no doubt that a
small transaction of this nature may
have s'ipped your mind, and I trust you
will pardon and excuse me for menuop"
ing it to ynu upon this occassion. If
you could find it convenient to forward
it by safe bands the samo would be
greatly appreciatpd, for I am in expecta
tion of the receiptor some nine barrels
of extra fine rum, for which I shall owe
the consignor a part or thi purchae
price, and which I desire to pay at. the
earlifst convenience. If you should not
hnd it conveniant to forward the same,
tak no thought of what I have written
until you might chance to come this
way. when you may quit the indebted
ness in your own time.
I should be p'eased at any occasion to
receive a visit from you, and shnu'd jou
bo in naed of rum, axpp, log chains or
some vpry heavy boots for self or ser
vants, I should be pirated o sell them
to you. Y'r ob't servant."
"Wm. Green."
It is undprstcod thit Mr. Green had a
small supply depot near One kanyCreeK.
and bis polite and apologetic dunnirg
letter (so different from the "Plense re
mit at once" of the present day) was
sont to a man named Doxtadpr who re
sided down the Mohawk Vallev. somo
where near Fort Plain. Utica Observer.
