ot the best troupes which has ever
appeared on the boards at the Opera
House. It was evfden?, at a glance,
that the charming little lady had
lost none of the pretty piquancy and
delightsomenss of manner which has
heretofore characterized her. The
piece, as presented; yas a great suc
cess and was received rapturously
by the audience. Miss Putnam was
the recipient of numerous5 floral of

as soon as possible, as she may al
ways count on a full house in Wil
