Comedy is the-essence of all stasje ; success, and the great demand of the theatre-going public is to be amused. This demand on the part of local theatre-goers can he satisfied fully when “My Wife’s Family” comes to the Star Theatre next Thursday night. Tills is one of the newest and most original of the pro- iductions of the musical farce comedy {variety, and into it Stephens and Linton, the authors, have iniected some of tin essence of ginger %mj originality which is neces^saj^. to make this sort of a niece a success.

After the trial another negro told that the wrong negro had been convicted, that he was the guilty negro at the time whereu.Km the magistrate tried the other negro and convicted him. Dur- ir" 1 all this time the innocent negro was serving time on the gang. T. B. Butler. Esq., wrote the governor giv ing a historv of the case together with the affidavit of the witness on whoso testimony the guilty negro was convicted; this was on the 22nd of Ap-il. The governor replied that he required the aflwlavit of the pro secutor setting forth tho facts, and stating that Chambers was not guilty. This affidavit was forwarded to the governor on the 24th of April, but no action has as vet been taken in the promises. In the meantime an innocent man is suffering the penalty for a crime which he did not com mit. iV Id of Money To come from Savings. In many cases it would be spent hut for a Savings Bank.
