"A FIT OF THE BLUBS."

0 It has been noticed that great actors at times become so imbued with the parts they assume that they find it difficult to resume their ordinary every-day life. If this is true the members of Brooks' Diorama and Variety Company, must be great actors. They appeared in this town last week, on Friday and Saturday, and were to have' opened again on Monday night. Xh^eomic operatta they were billed to tferjarm, was ominously entitled *' A Eit~«f ,&? B.ues." This they had in a very bad way, so much so as to cause them, instead of showing the audience the diorama of "atrip to Lon* don " to take a trip, very unostentatiously by the steamer leaving the port eaily on Monday morning. In the evening a few walked up to the Hall to take an interest in their proceedings, amongst whom, were some, who perhaps nob regretting missing the snow, objected to fiud that the company had left a day earlier than was expected. We should be glad to hear of their future success, so would their hotel-keeper, so would the owners of the Temperance Haul; so would their bill-stickeiyand until: such fortune streaks their way, these humble caterers to their necessities will have, without acting " A Fit of the Blues."
