"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."

Like "Struck Oil," "Kip Van Winkle," and all those good wholesome dramas that used to delight our fathers, " Uncle Tom's Cabin " is always sure of a warm reception whereever and whenever staged. The pathos in the charaetcrs of Uncle Tom and Er», the brutality of Si nion Legree, the trials of the two quadroon slaves in their flight for freedom, and the irrepressible simian proclivities of Topsy make as strong an appeal on the feelings of the audience, as they did on the people of America mo-'c than sixty years ago, when Mrs Boeclier Stowc's powerful xtory awakened a natioual throb which helped to unfurl I lie flag of emancipation over thousands of oppressed human beings. A dramati•ation of this famous story will he staged at the Theatre Uoyal, New Plymouth, on Tuesday, January iith, by the popular Taylor-Carrington Co.. whose name alone is a sufficient guarantee of an adequate and realistic interpetation. New scenery and novel stags effects are promised, and with a special price concession for ladies and children, there should be a large audience. The box plan is now open at JfcEnnou Bain's,
