STRANOIL CA -ll Or DR. JIMYLL 11111, Ma HTDIL -A large and fashionable 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 to the critical public, sod Rider Hag- gard, and R.

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. "Knowledge is power," but science has its limit, it cannot produce what Christi- anity has given us, an ideal man, with- out blemish and without spot. Then comes the terrible awakening that he who had speed his time in making game of • theory,now in turn is made ita sport, and paatime, and in the fascination of playing with sin it overwhelms him.

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.
