A NATION'S Horanaelo are largely .the measure and expreesion of its patriotism, and upon their due ob. servance depends the degree of es- teem in which they will be held by other natione This axiom is worthy of consideration when de- termining what Huron's county hub should do in the way of the proper observance of the coming twenty-fifth anniversary of our Dominion's birth. July first ehpuld bo kept in commemoration of the most important event in our history ; nor should its importance be lessened by permitting it to swallow up any other holiday. It' adjacent towns have not made a move in the matter could not en- ough inspiration be found in Clin- ton to arrange for some demon titra- tion Of the day here. What are our seval sporting clubs for if they do not give us an occasional day when the service of mammon is under suspension? • DRAMATIC DOINGS. Intended fo: last week. Anything but inviting was the prospect last Thursday eveniug, . chill rain falling and the sky o'er - cast with a mantle of clouds heavy' and sullen, yet there was sufficient; interest in the theatre going people- of our town, in the appearance of our local talent in the Mennel Bone - fit drama "Hazel Kirke," to brings in front of the foot -lights a house,, the financial measurement of which, was a little over fifty dollars. We• had hoped that the combination of pleasure and good deede would attract a larger audience, yet, the opposiliou .of• the elements and a counter attraction iu town same evouing being considered, one may say "well done." It is pleasurable • to record the success of the rendi- tion of the various numbers under the direction of Mr. Harty Hart, who has proved himself a qualified teacher of the dramatic art in bring- ing our amateurs to such a state of proficiency as he did ; and a very excellent actor in his caste of "Pitta- cus Green," the hero of the play. Miss 1t1CHardy was prepared for the character of rho heroine "Ilazol Kirke," but on account of a lame• nese it was found necessary to pro- cure for it Mies Graham of Luck - now, who took it in a way to com- mand the ‘admiration of _the most critical. Miss Kate Read, in "Dolly Dutton," by the facility and dexter- ity with which she disposed of a labyrinth of gestures, smiles and ex- nressions inspired the ' audience with. a warm glow of enthusiasm. Miss Shute and Mies VanTassel had very pretty parts and their appear- ance ou the stage was in the highest degree praiseworthy. Mr. H. T. Rance, in "Dunstan Kirke," showed the occult magic of his power as an artist. This heavy and intricate caste was' executed in a way which made many envious of his talent and seieuity. Messrs. Spaldiug and Barrow had parts not entirely suited to them yet 'did very well even iu their embarrassing situation. Will Harland and Harry St^.nbury wero- the funny men, and funny mon they wgre with a naturalness and grace becoming the play. All did well. There vas veneer, but it was genuine and appreciable. Between the third and last acts a feature not in the program was introduced by Tor Rance. He thanked the audi- once for their patronage in a few well worded remarks, and then the shadow of the impending crisis seemed to deepen and his imagina- tion was taken captive as ho deploy• ed the fact that the stage's mechan• ie and appointments were quite un• fit or a town of Clinton's importance and conceded devotion to Thespian, dramatic and other phases of Intel• lectualart culture. Tor is eloquent, yet he could not utter opinions hot enough or faotte strong enough to satisfy himself. His oration was received upon the wings of popular applause. —Michigan has 104 million, aires, forty.five of whom call Detroit their home. The state has. also the largest number of impovers isbed farmers of any awe in the Union, population considered.
