THE DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE. - The
Seaforth Dranaatic Club_ made •their
first, appearance for this season in
'Cardno's Hall on Tuesday evening last.
The play was "The Two Orphans," or
"Lost in Paris." The audience was
the largest seen in Seaforth for some
time, .and must have'been composed of
at least eeven hundred people, the hall
being patked•full. The proceeds are to
be donated to the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Soci ty for the aid of the poor, and
will mo erially enhance the funds of
the SOO ety, and will aid in al-
leviating the sufferings of the loss for-
tunate o our citizens. The follow-ing
