except perhaps on the evening Vi AiN"NA 80
and the applause was warm and frequent Ahe
artists acquitted themselves admirably. PARoDi
was very perfect in her part, and the style OF the
first three acts was singularly natural and
true. In the last act, which alone offers oppor'
tupity of violent dramatic action, the Prima
Donna outran our sympathies. LoRISI reached
higher point in our critical regards than ne has
hitherto attained, and the brave BENEyENrANo
expended energy enough for many potent and
outraged monarchs upon his single scene. NO
yELLI's Monk was grave and good, and the cho-
ruses were well up. Was that quite true Of the
orchestra?
WLoR1EI sang the "Spirto GentiF' carefully and
tepderlv. He gave 1t with too much action, how
ever, and not intensely enough 1t is in feeling,
monotonous wall Of despair. LeoH0ra's parts
are all best in the concerted pieces as in the 18th
scene Of the second act. PARoDI and LoRINI
gave the final duet 4" Vieni, all VteRi," accurate
" and admirably although it must be always
matter of regret that any Soprano and Tenor are
called upon to execute such an Inexpensive mu-
steal conventionalty, which seemed to have been
designed for the hand organ, so much better is its
effect there, than upon the scene. Bad as this
Duet, is, however, it is properly the end of the
Opers, which necessarily falls deadened upon the
attention after dragging through a superfiuous
page Of Libretto, introduced for the purpose of
restoring the moral equilibrium.
The audience was most genuinely pleased and
the very crowded house and the close attention
indicated that the Prima Donna has achieved no
greater triumph than her LeonorG.
Space only allows us to remind our readers OF
Romeo and Juliet on Tuesday evening-with
PARoDI, for Miss WRITINGS first appearance on
any stage.

less true that it might be administered to child

ter station. The car was empty and locked, and
it is supposed that the fire originated from aspark
from the locomotive entering through the ventt-
lator. The fire was easily extinguished, bat the
conductor was slightly burned when be entered
the car.

the shower bath, and pinioned, after which the
gate was hoisted, letting food of water on his
heao and completely drenching him. This mode
OF punishment has not long been in existence,
and Isl said to be one Of the most sure
nesnoos OF enforcing obedience from refractory
