ACADEMY OF MUsIC-Madamc La Grange, whose
artistic trumphs we have often chroniced in these
columns takes her farewell benefit this evening at the
Academy, when we hope to see an audience present
such as to indicate to the fair beneficiary that she is
held in grateful remembrance by her many friends in
this city, Seldom indeed has been our lot to welcome
among us 80 faithful, deserving and estimabe lady
and only when she has finally taken her departure
from shores will become alive to her many ex-
ceencies. During her long professional career In this
city she has never once disappointed her audience
ever at her post-ever the welbred lady in her de-
pertinent and courteous and concliatory toward her
fellow-artiss. Her voice will resound through the
Academy this evening for the last tme do not there
fore let the weather be for your nattend-
ance-it is duty you distinguished artist and
estimable women. We understand that on this Occa-
sion valuable "Gold Laurel Crown will be pre-
scented as parting tribute by her friends. Norma
is the opera announced, Madame LAGRANGE sustaining
the leading role one the best approximations the
lyric stage.
