The stage was full of children, but not one of the audience screamed or acted frightened in any way. Those near the fire succeeded in smothering it out before there was any panic. The speaking was good, Steve Yeoman doing especially well. The door receipts were $29.40. The wedding in the north port of town was a most brilliant affair, and the presents were numerous and beautiful. \ Geo.
