The grand dramatic peformance in aid >of the Church of England Sunday School will take place at the Theatre Royal this evening when the thrilling romantic drama, entitled “The Sea of Ice,” or “ The Wild Flower of Mexico,” will be produced. The Brass Band will be in attendance. The scenery and mechanical effects are to be on a grand scale ; and judging from previous efforts of the ladies and gentlemen who are taking part in the performance, an excellent evening’s entertainment may be expected.

A thoughtful judge may well consider whether society would not be better served by ordering a bottle of Hop Bitters for the unfortunate in the dock instead of years of penal servitude. Read Now is the time to secure a large parcel of drapery for little money. Genuine sale. J. Manson and Co.—[Advt.] A Good Account. —“To sum it up, six long years of bed-ridden sickness and suffering, costing £4O per year, total £240, all of which was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my wife, who has done her own housework for a year since without the loss of a day, and I want everybody to know it for their benefit.”—John Weeks, Butler.
