ACADEMY OF MusIc.--The closing performance
drew another overfowing audience. The end having
come, curiosity heightened, and We learn that al
high four FIVE dollars premium were paid for
some seats. The company now proceed TO Philsdd-
phis for a brief season. On their return they viii
produce two new operas
The great success which has attended this season,
by which the Manager has been enabled to pay of all
obligations, leads to the belief that, with proper dh
cretioD, the good fortunes OF the Academy estab
rhed. II will be seen how permanent this insi-
tuition can be made. The great end and aim Of tho
direction should be TO popuarize the performances.
gviI attractions for all tastes and nationslities We
believe that such is the intention Of the present Man.
ager No such decidedly successful season has marked
the Academy that just passed.

Correspondence Of She n. Y Tribune.
The Committee on Territories in the Senate viii
hold another meeting on Thursday, to decide upon
the application Of Minnesota for admission into the
Union. Gov. Medary will of course relieve the
difficulty which his partisanship involved, since
refusal would preclude favorable report from the
Committee. The other objections are more easily
removed, after this serious shall have been got
out of the way although at the expense of formal
ties strictly demanded by the law.
Mr.. Clay Of Ala. reported his fayorite scheme
from the Committee on Commerce this morning,
for the repeal of the fishing bounties. He has pur'
sued this subject zealously for years, and is now
likely TO be rewarded for his pains. That sectional
hostility is the prompting motive for his persistent
devotion is not disguised. He hates the Free
States, aud especially the New-Engand States, and
this is one Of the modes of emphasizing what mas

West street addressed by rather decenty dressed
men ldecOys attached To notorious ticket swindLnS
establishment who inquired their business. The de-
coys were unusually aflabe, and insisted upon that
they were old acquaintance The young men were
duly cautioned against the many tcketswindling es-
Establishments about the city. They said they wanted
TO find the office of Mr. j. W. Raymond. TO which
office the decoys kindly consented to conduct them.
After walking short distance the party entered the

TEMPERANCE CELEBRATioS.-IIarmony Division.
No. 5, Sons OF Temperance last evening celebrated
their fifteenth anniversary by public meeting at CO.
lumbar Hall No. 2S1 Grand street. At an early hour
the spacious hall occupied by the society and the pas.
sage ways leading thereto were dcnsey crowded, the
ladies being very largely represented The exercises
of the evening were opened by Mr.. johnson. the
Worthy Patriarch, who offered few appropriate re-
marks. The Temperance Pledge was then read and Q
glee sung after which Mr. Beae OF Washington Divis-
ion No H. delivered very effective aai touching adj
dress in behalf Of the Temperance cause. Mr.. Ii, Ia
an active member Of the Prison Association and viv.
idly portrayed the scenes Of wretohedness and
degradation arising from intemperance which
had conc under his observation while visiting
the various prisons of this city and state.
He was followed by Mr.. Revel, gentleman who
had been travelling in England Ireland and Scotland az
well as IN this country, temporary advocate, who
gave painfully interesting account Of many instances
IL crime including MURDER having been committed by
pesons while laborng under the effects of the poison
Gus hQuils.
The Recording Scribe then read the annual report,
in which he set forth that in the year 1913 the Dvs
ON organized end held meetings at ITALIAN Hall,
Grand street, but the members soon increased to q
degree that rendered more extensive accommodations
pecessary which they have since occupied in connec-
Nion with Jefferson Division ut expense Of 500.
since early IN the SprlnR OF 1874 they have held
weekly meetings, and initiated 450 members into tbs
Division since its commencement; they have paid ~
per week to each sick member, $l5 To each member
who had lost his wife, $50 on the death Of each
brother, to deray the funeral expenses, and 80 To
the widow and 0rphans from the Widows and Or.
phans Fund. The number Of deaths which occurred
during the time, where the parties were entitled to
benefits, H. AZ $50 each and 10 wheh the brother
members died previous to being entitled 10 funeral
benefits paid $50 each. Every member who
had died, duriOg their long and suffering illness had
been daily visited and watched over with consoling
sympathy.
The members and friends Of the Division believing
that the time has arrived when great revival In the
pose doing their share of the good work and certainly
their meeting last night indicated that deep interest
is manifested on the subject.
Another address was delivered by Mr.. Elton OF
Division No. a. and several temperance songs and
gees were sung with good effect.
