Page of Owen Sound delivered an address to " Mothers, Wive* and Daugh- ters," in the R. T. Hall on Wednesday afternoon of liutt week. Her audience 'as rather small, but very interested in the speaker and her work. Those who were present speak very highly indeed of the lecture. Our reporter was unable to gain admission, owing to the native mod- esty of the young lady lecturer, and we can therefore only advance the opinions- uf others as to its merits. Mr. Herb.

A Toronto thea're manager sends 'Jt% a half column solid advertisinentof his show which he desires inserted, in return for which he will be happy oo give us a 25 cent ticket of admission to his. wonderful comedy.. If the manager himself were to place his person in a ^laas case and exhib- it it ftm tho st)(o of tho theatre we would be sorely toinpted to insert the ad- vertisement and go all the way to Toron- to, if we could mortgage our paper cuttvr for sufticieiit to take us, just to feast our eyes on so collotwal a statue of brass. We have seen Irving, Langtry, Keene, Joe Murphy, Mark Twain and many other shining lights, but they all pale into utter insignificance before an exhibition such as this shining managerial artist would sffoid.
