CARTER, THE MAGICAN.

Carter, the magician, who shows in the Oddfellows Hall on Thursday night, has presented his entertainment in almost every country on the globe. Carter creates much merriment and amusement when not engaged in his woik professionally. For instance, on a recent trip he astonished the natives, as well as many others who had gathered, by producing a sovereign trom an orange which he found at a vendors stand. Carter pocketed the sovereign, and then bought another oranp, and attracting the attention ot the vendor, once more cut the orange, and again brought to the Mew ot the astonished native another gold p lOC e between, the halves of the truit. Carter thereupon bought two more oranges, and after opening these, and finding two more sovereigns, one in each which the magician took pains to reveal to the now mystified man, asked the vendor to sell him a dozen of the fruit, which the vendor promptly refused to do. Carter and Ins friends smilingly took their departure, and from a slight distanco stopped and watched the vendor cautiously take up and halve one after the other, five or six oranges, hoping to find gold m fruit, and thus be able to work no more. Those who like to see clever mystifying work sh(Jukl not miss the ' Oddfellows' Hall on J hurs'day evening. The box plan is open at Clarke's, tobacconist.
