S- The audience in attendance at ODD
Fellows Hall last night, to witness the per.
Torrance of Knaey's JuUeaiLe Concert Troupe
was somewhat limited on account of the In
clemency of the weather, aud the oceans OF
mud and mire which our side and cross-walks
are at present teeming with.
In consideration of the fact that the per-
formers OF this troupe are only youths, and
some of them almost infants, it would not be
saying too much in praise of their musical
talent TO saw that the vocal mnsic was good
and their instrumental music e1celLeht. Master
CHARLES McEwEN is a good dancer, and full
ly sustained the reputation claimed for him
by the managers in their challenge to the
world to produce his equal. Go and see the

In offering my thanks for the very kind and
liberal patronage have received during the
that it would be ungrateful for me not to
obey the pressing assurances from my numer-
Gus friends and patrons, to postpone other
engagements and delay my departure. This
will also serve as an answer to the many let
tiers received from the vicinity aud counties,
who are anxious to provide themselves with
my Glasses. / am gratified TO state that their
merits are recognized, and those who value
their eyes and wish to SEE, DID "COME To

make them SEE and not INJURE their
SIGHT. 1t will not be out Of place to adjoin
to this card the following remarks from the
pen of an eminent Oculist, who is now in this
Coy. allude to DIR. Won MOSCHZISKER
who, in his work on Optics says:
The adaptation of optical contrivances TO
amend disordered vision, is one of the most
exalted applications of high abstract knowl-
edge for the relief of infrmities of man.
Thousands and tens of thousands are suffer
ing from damaged vision. caused by improper
use of cheap Glasses, and what would the
sufferers not give if they could but retract
their first wrong step. Vision has been in
sidiously aud gradually damaged, and there
fore the idea of its impairment has not been
suddenly or forcibly brought before their
mind but had the defect come at once upon
them, they would have been amazed and ter
r;frd.' Again There cannot be a greater
error than that committed daily by persons
entering into any store and purchasing Glass
es without the slightest regard as to the su-
periority Of the Glasses and adjustment in
all its optical points, or care if the man who
sells them knows any thing more of optics
than the size of the money he receives for his
Glasses or to get his trash off at the least
price he can get for them. Great judgment
and discrimination are required in order to
be able TO judge Of lens, if it is just in all
its points, and also what Glasses the appli-
ant should use. The rules Of selecting Glass
es are of paramount

DEAR SIR:-Nothing can afford me more pleasure

sional duties have lately weakened my eyes so
much as to prevent me almost from reading in the
evening, and it with the greatest efforts that
could really do So but these efforts were followed on
the next day by heavy pains in both eyes and con
slant ILLUMINATION, which was the more trying for
me as l always could only make Of one eye,
0he right one being covered by a-freckle from in
fancy.)
Your arrival in this city has been highly beneficial
to me. You have not only in a very few days rebev-
ed me Of pain and Inflammation, but you have also
strengthened my sight, and gr atty relieved thefrec
kie which covered my other eye. All this was dc ne
without any cessation Of my professional duties, and
at the expense Of the most tri1ing which ever
could be paid to any ply scian.
In expressing you my satisfaction intend merely
to do justice your eminent skill Oculist, and
nenever this testimonial be Of any use wish
you TO publish it for your advantage, ON my side
will always confirm this stat, ment verbally.
Yours, truly,
