The theatre given by the Cedarburg Dramatical Society at SCHLITZ's Hall here last Sunday, was well attended. Our neighbors can be well satisfied with their reception here, a crowded hall greeting them, although the weather was not the pleasantest. The rendition of the play, which in itself is an excellent one, and of a very popular kind, far exceded our expectations from an amateur club. The cast of characters had been very fortunately selected from among the people of Cedarburg, and several of the actors played their parts in manner that would have done credit to professionals. The play, which is from a well-known German author, brought before the eyes of the audience many infirmities to which mankind is subject, conveyed with it a lesson and taught morals in a manner which cannot help but be of influence upon the character of the listener. The music on this occasion was rendered by WEBER's orchestra and was very fine. The play and music were a credit to Cedarburg and if the club should ever again favor us with a call, it will no doubt meet with a rousing reception. The manager requested the editor to thank the people of West Bend and vicinity for the manner in which the club had been received, he is however of the opinion that thanks are due to the Cedarburgers for giving us such an excellent entertainment.

How to Hurt Cedarburg

Buy of peddlers as often and as much as possible.

Denounce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods.

Make out your town to be a very bad place and stab it every chance you get.

Keep every cent you get, and don't do anything of a public nature unless you can make something out of it directly.

Tell your merchants that you can buy goods a good deal cheaper in another town and charge them with extortion.

If a stranger comes to your town, tell him everything is overdone, and predict a general crash in town in the near future.

Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own, and then denounce them for not being as large as the city papers.

If you are a farmer, curse the town where you trade as the meanest place on earth. Tell it to your neighbors.

Make them think the business men are robbers and thieves. It will decrease the value of your property, but then you do not care.

These several recipes are warranted to prove effective. If you have any desire to see Cedarburg grow or prosper, avoid them all as you would the grippe. -- Ex.
