THESPIANS AID ACADEMY.
This evening will be performed by the Thespian Society, a favourite Play, called the Deserter, or the School for Soldiers, with the Farce of the Lying Valet, for the benefit of the Academy. The laudable exertions of the Society to promote the interest of this valuable institution, deserves Approbation, and we hope will meet with encouragement from the citizens of the town and neighbourhood.
