shakespeare Reodings.--On Tuesday even
ing last, Mr. Murdoch, the world removed ira
gedian, visited our place, and entertained our
citizens for an evening, at the Concert Hall
with reading extracts from some of the best of
Shakespeare, Milton, Byron and SCOTS wri
tings. In this more humble department of Mr.
Murdoch's profession, he clearly indicated the
power which his impersonations have over an
audience. The rapid and sudden, the entire
transition which his style and intonations would
undergo, from the weak and yascilatipq, tc
oVer-powering majesty, as he would change
characters, was astonishing as we'll as interest
ing and while repeating the more delicate
parts, the audience were spell-bound by hi:
magical powers. The audience, so far as VIC
nave heard an expression, were universally well
pleased, and we can hope his exhibition NAV be-
repeated.

The chances of getting at the Nebraska

That the administration is desrous of

fact hat all sorts Of personal influence is

still difficulties are increasing. and unless
favorable change takes place there is no

An impression prevails that the Home

effect of reviving and passing it. The
prospect however, is that it will not be
reached this session.
