ODDFELLOWS' HALL.

• " The Two Little Vagabonds."

As the title of the play indicates, the plot of the "Two Little Vagabonds," which will be put on the boards at the Oddfellows' Hall on Wednesday and Thursday next by Messrs Williamson and Musgrove's Company, centres round two young lads who have received that distinctive and not altogether complimentary appellation, owing principally to the fact that they have been cast upon the world to earn their living j and not being able to get it in the legitimate manner which the law demands, are unfortunately led into temptation. One lad named Diok is a poor miserable sickly orphan, whose great ambition, nevertheless, is to be a " blacksmiff," whilst the other, Wally, is a sturdy youth, who as a babe was clandestinely taken f'om his mother, for reasons which the story of the drama shows and was apprenticed to a gentleman in the " burgling " profession. The vicissitudes wh'ch the young waifs go through and their many humorous adventures, combined with the many loving scenes as tho sturdy one shields his weakly companion, are said to -be highly amusing hi the one ca.se and intensely pathetic in the other.
