A happy Christmas to tlie proprietorsj of the Camden Journal. Americts. i [coJIMONICATEP,] Kutcrtainmeiit of the Liberty 1!ill Social (Mub. Mb. Kditoh; Permit tnc to give you a short and imperfect account ot the entertuinnicnt given by tli- Social Club of Liberty IIill on the nights of the 13th and Nth instant. We hud heard that the pop- j ular play "David Garrick" would be acted, ' and also that the object of the entertainment was to procure funds to assist iu | building a church at Liberty Ilill, and, therefore, determined to go. Arriving at the hall, wc at once met an appreciative, IllOllgu uui nugc, uuuieutv , aiul promptly at 8 o'clock the bell rang, i the curtain rose, ninl we were gazing upon .1 beautiful and tastefully arranged stage ; j and beheld the accomplished aud rich Miss j Ada Ingot, Shakespeare in hand, living; over ug.iin the hours that she had listened to the impassioned words of David Garrick, when the words of the poet had fired the heart of the comedian?words, too, that had entirely won her heart. Soon this reverie was interrupted by the entrance of; her father, who thought Shakespeare a fool j and David Garrick a Magt-plnyer unworthy of his notice, especially as this infatuation interferred with his own scheme of besiowing his daughter's hand upon his own nephew, Richard Chivy, who, though some day to be a peer, thought too ruuch of iiorse racing and frolicking to suit the refuted taste of the lovely Ada. The passion j was too strong, though, to be despised by 1 her papa. Failing in persuasion, lie uu- j dertakes to bribe the player to quit the | stage, and betake himself to parts un-, known. In this he also fails, and the high toned Gairick assures him he need fear i nothing from hun, but on the other hand pledges himself to cure the girl of litis 1 fancy. Tiie old gentleman believes him. and invites him to dine wi;ii him, together with a few of his friends, who knew him when lie was poor. Now, begins the scenes that I arn unable 1 to transmit to paper. Mr. Smith, of Smith, Smith Co.. with his g.-od wile, worried about her sown children; Araminta, proud of her literary attainments, ami prou ler of her pretty blue dress; to say: nothing of Mr. Drown* with more tnotistafhe than brains; and the stut-stulterstittK ring Mr. Jones, all pleasantly entertained by Miss Ada, till thrown into great confusion by the announcement of Mr. David Garrick, who meets for the lirst time the j lady who lias his heart.|anu whose heart lie also has won, as well ns tlie woman he lias pledged himself to cure of this attachment for him; not kuoowing till too lute who she! was. Having promised, he plays his pari well, acting the drunkard, the gam est err the bully, and everything bad,to disgust the j lovely creature. Then it whs, Mr. Editor, that uiy tender heart got ttio better of me. To sec poor Ada, disappointed, mortified, weeping and miserable, was too much for us. We cou'd have mingled our tears with hers. There it was that we forgot that it was only acting, and not real, so well did she act her pari. Garrick is successful. She orders hiiu out of the room, and on her father's neck promises to marry anybody he desires, even Cousin Dick. Cousin Dick, upsets all by unintentionally, while tipsy, telling I hut Uarrick was oniy acting, which, when the jrirl knows, places her again under the influence of the same old infatuation : and, instead of marrying Dick at the aj pointed hour, leaves her father's house to prevent Carrick from fighting a duel, which cause - the enraged lather to | denounce her. She faints, David conies in, persuades her to let him carry her to her ! father; he, moved by the honorable and I gentlemanly hearing of her lover, gives her I hand where her heart is already bestowed, much to the disgust of Dick. It was well worth seeing, and it has seldom been my pleasure to attend such an entertainment. The performance closed the first night with a very laughable farce?15ox and ''or?and a more laughable one tlu second night, c.ilie 1 "The Mage .Struck Yankee,'1 in which Curtis Chunk?'or short, Cur chunk?and Mi.-s Tannic Magnet and Jedidah had a lively time. Too much praise cannot be given to the managers and performers for this delightful rutertniiiinent. i Wo were son y to note the absence of our I friend- from Camden, I ..a mat si or and Hidgc; w ty, and as the Club expect to have aiiullij cr entertainment early in January, we hope ?? .? .? .11 ? lw? ?,!? isiirn <il" vniMliir Villi nl! t lien.
