STRANOIL CA -ll Or DR. JIMYLL 11111,

audience was gatheied in the Grand
Opera House, on Thursday evening of
last week, to witness Kr Percy Herniae
in his dramatis representations of Mr
Louie Stevenson's well Lem° novel.
Mr Hunting enacted the difficult role of
tbe widely dissimilar characters of Dr
Jekyll, and Mr Hyde, woh great his -
ironic ability. The scenic effect was
good, and his support fair- the part of
Dr Lauyon being very pleasingly sus
taioed. The strange weird nature of
the plot is exceptionally and
' peeks well for the versatility of the
wind of its author. To propound a
new theory, or conceith a sensational
plot is this latter part of the nineteenth
century, is more difficult than It appears

Dr Jekyll succeeded in possessing
these dual natures, but there was one
slight flaw apparently in the tranefor-
mation--one nature was, as desired,
wholly evil and satanic, but the other
was not the purest good, the just and
holy man- it was still the inectigruom
compound of the old physician.

when headline money, and also that the
officers had become liable for sundry ne-

ties they gays orders on Ben as our pay-
master. Now, on our way from Wind-

gone to Areherstburg for money, were

that was done; but notwithstanding eh
that, Sir, I shall yet have to show you
some instances of his nerve and fir -mu...
in real danger, that very few could have
exceeded. On our arrival at Mr *tut her-
lesd's (who was • retired merchant
tailor from Edinburgh) we were treated
with the greatest kindnem, but with all
his influence amongst his neighbors, be
could neither get teamster nor farmer to
hoop us homeward, either for love or
money. The roads had become very
bad, so our only amusement for several
days was watching ,he myriads of fish
rushing up the river, close to the side to
get out of the current, when some of ea
accidentally observed • large canoe lying
at the bottom, and were told that we
would have been welcome to it, but that
it was useless being split in the bottom ;
our circumstances had become so des-
perate however, that we determioed to
have a look at it,, but having
all to do ourselves it cost some
scheming and hard work too, be-
fore we got it on shore. We foaled
it to lb* • large, black walnut dug-
out with a crack in the bottom some
eight or ten feet long, and • full fourth
of an inch wide; but Mr S. having
plenty of pitch in his store, we let the
canoe dry for a day or two while we
collected such rags as we thought would
suit in lieu of oakum, act to be got, and
made a tolerably good job of the caulk-
ing with several good costs of pitch on
top of it. Having procured four or five
paddles orsmall oars, and Mrs Suther-

cooked meat. breed &c,.and well wee it
for us that she was liberal in doing so
for it turned out to be fully double the;
time before we got home, we then start-
ed for Sarnia, following the example of
the fish in keeping close to land and
resting occasionally by the way. But I

made an attempt to paddle up the rapids
at Point Edward, but were beaten and
had to return fur a rope when placing

our utter consternation we found • full
