I'D nightly by large and fashionaDe au-
Ds; and we may judge from the SHOUTS
yhghter and applause that greet !no i entss' t
aders, and must bo very gratifying TO the
nanagement. Mr. W. II. Donaldson is q very
'ormidable rival Of Blondin; he performs the
different hazardous feats on tho rope, with an
case and grace, that at once inspires the au-
dience with confidence in his abilities, and the
feeling of fear that at first takes possession OF
the beholder, gives place to one OF admiration
as the intrepid perfoymer, proceeds on his per.
ilous journey. Miss Mollie williams. 9 very
dashing actress, is hew face in this city, and
she will become great favorite with our the

pretty face and figure, and dresses tasti'y.

Growers THEATRE.- elegant and com.
Invdious theatre. was filled last night with one
Of the finest audiences Of the season, . large
proportion Of which consisted Of ladies Of
beauty and fashion. HOoley's great minstrel
troupe are rapidly increasing In public favor,
and their drawing room entertainments are
deservediy popular. Their vocal and instru.
mental music would do credit to an English or
Italian opera troupe, and their highly amusing
burlesques, together with their delineations OF
negro life ant. character, are Of very superior
order, and are nightly Witnessed with great
interest by the crowd who attend. We hope
duced to re.engage them for another week, but
for fear such will not be the case, our citizens
should embrace the opportunity to see them
tonight.

during the last two weeks. The managers offer
a we'll selected programme for tonight, EN-.
bracing the whole company; and As 1t il their

temple tonight The evenings entertainment
Will conclude with the side splitting atterpiece
called "Ireland in '0s," during which the en-.
tire company will appear IN several Irish songs
and dances. Go early tonight. WORD to the
