AMUsB MENTS.

WooD's THEATER.-A very fair audience
was present at this establishment last night
to greet the first appearance of Miss Elite
Henderson. The lady is really beautiful and
possessed of O good figure; she lacks how
ever, voice, and in some instances her pro-
nunciations were quick and indistinct. By
observing more carefulness, and constant
exercise of the voice, these defects can easily
be overcome. Miss Ettie is graceful, and
renders her impersonations in an attractive
style: To night will be presented AsmodeuS,
in which Ettie will personate Carlo" also
the laughabe farce of A Kiss in the Dark,
and The StrategemS Of an Actress, in which
she will assume four characters.
PIKE's OPERA A-HoUsE.-Decided the larg-
est audience of the year was in attendance
last night, to witness Professor AndersOn's
opening entertainment. The dress.circle
balcony and parquette presented a gay and
enlivened scene, impressing us with the
idea that we have grand reserve to fall back
upon should our present force of soldiers be
inadequate for the suppression of rebellion.
Professor Anderson amazed his audience with
his art in magic-executing so many clever
deceptions, and dismissed them with the idea
that he is indeed magician. Miss Ander-
son presided at the piano, producing excel
lent music. Believers in spiritual manifesto
tions are particularly requested to visit the
Psychomantheum before the departure of
this celebrated master Of the art diaboGque.
UNION HALL,-The concert given last
evening at the Catholic Institute, for the pur-
pose of raising charitable fund for the Sis
ters of Mercy, was largely attended. The
entertainment was of varied character, and
proved a decided success We are pleased
with the manifestations of our citizens when
benevolence and charity ask their aid and
assistance
O d. a4I, ~ -
| BILE entertainment will be egiven this evening,
| at Smith & Nixon's Hall, the proceeds of
which are for our soldiers who, while in
| the service of the Government, have be-
| come sick and disabled. Having severed the
ties of every thing they loved at home, and
| gone forth to aid in quelling the rebellion, we
| think it due them, when sick and away from
friends, the people should let them know
their services are appreciated. We want to
see the above hall crowded to overlooking
by those who have friends and relatives in
the army.
CINCINNATI TRoTTING PARK.--On Monday

5000, mile heats, to go as they please, for
which james Rockey has entered "Reube,'

Rice, with an equestrian and acrobatiC
