Y. and Boston success, will be presented for the first in this city. The main idea of the piece ig, I think, taken from one of Chas. Lever’s stories, but I'm blest if I can just recall which one it is in which a gay collegian dresses up in woman's clothes. Two Oxford fc llows are to serve tea for two young aud pretty girls in their rooms. The auut of one of them, ‘‘*Charley’s Aunt” is expected that day “from Brazil where the nuts come from,” and is to act as the chap- erone, After the girls arrive and while they are promenading, a telegram is brought saying that *Charley’s Aunt” has been delayed. The boys are in a deuce of a fix. They do not want to lose the tea, yet they know the girls will not stay unless properly chaperoned. In this dilewnma, of the students who is getting ready for private theat- ricals, comes into the room dressed in his togs, a woman’s old fashioned black | silk dress, which he has donned right over his trousers, and a quaint Why should he not impersonate **Char- ley’s Aunt ?”’ Anything in petticoats will do. At first he declines, but they tease him, and finally he yields with the explicit understanding that it will be for only 15 minutes. The complications that arise out of this are too comical. It is not only the fact that his are visible ; that he tries constantly pocket his hands; that he pulls up his skirts when he sits down, to prevent their getting knee-sprung, but the dents of themselves are side-splitting. one wig. trousers to inci Dug Out a Horse and Sleigh Workmen under the direction of the Township Supervisor huge snow drift from the last Friday Carroltown, C they were cleaning a public road between Chest Springs and ambria arthed a h The horse had been drift on the first night of recent blizzard.

Tanne! on a Sidewalk, The snow drifts on North street, in Milheim, are sights worth seeing. At Charley Albright’s, a tunnel has been dug through the snow on the sidewalk of about thirty feet in length, and about three feet wide and six feet high, and people now walk through the tun. nel. Many people visit the locality to see how it looks. — - D8. DUNHAM, D. 8S.
