otj maids, "tout" in your portion of the
country? If you have, and they nre not
too ueful, send them, post-haite, to
Jleccaria. We have a pair of excellent
clowns, who perform bnd piny outside of
the "arena," without tlio use of canvas
and "center-poles and braces." They
act behind the curtin, (lutllo! that's mis
spelled,) however, but admittance is, I
think, grali", and their dramatic perform
ances are so grotecquo and indescribably
laughable, thut, naturally humorous gents
nnd ladies, would sink under theirexceed

dramatic "piecos" uro bo pool teal, that if
given in too large "doses" would melt the
jolly and gay to a liquid, instanter. We
do n't wish to have those "brilliant ac
tions" which are attracting the attention
of to many of our lovers of "un" dispensed
with, hence our application lor hearers.
Their principal plays are
" Woodward'a gone up 'Bait River'"

that part of the dramatic piece,)
"Curtin haa 'klim' the polo,"
