The Hair & Festivals Tableaux

VTT,a Hair & FestiVai& Tableaux.
The Ladies of st. Mathe rs (EpiacopaD Churon
have been holding a Fair and Festival at Sim
mons Hall, for the Church.
On Monday afternoon and evening a Fair snd
Festival was given. A large number OF Fancy
Articles, for use and ornament, mostly prepared
and manufactured by the ladies, were offered fof
sale. Anominal admission fee of ten cents was
charged. The Hall wes fairly filled on Monday
evening. and a commendable liserality was exN
hibited by the audience. A supper was also pre-
pared, which was literally patronized. The re-
ceipts on Monday afternoon and evening, we unN
derstand, were 5000.
On Tuesday evening. a grand entertainment OF
Tsbleaux, Pantomime and Music wac given. The
Hall was we'll fllsd and the audience was entire
" charmed Aith she entertainment Great ored>
II is due to those who had this portion Of the afH
fair in hand. Everything was prepared with
much taste and skill, aud all the arrangements
or the entertainment Of the audieace were per-
feet. WeLave never seen more perfect represen-
tations in the way OF Id6tedHE V9v1ns than
wa Witnessed on this occasion, aud equal praise is
due to those who had the preliminary arrange
ments In charge and to those who took part in
fine performance. The best praise tiat could be
given, perhaps, was the involuntary
we heard from Il spectator-"What beautiful
.Tfe,Hke Paintings !'->wheu the first Tableau,
I"Moore's Heroines', was revealed. The Greek
Statuary was another perfect representation: But
come to particularized, we find that every piece
calls for the same remark:
The sony of "Auld Robin Gray, was represents
ed in Pantomime, in six scenes. The acting wac
perfect, and conveyed to the audience the entire
spirit Of the piece. We cannot resist the mention
in this connection, the name of Miss NELLIE DUE-
LAP, who represented the principal character of
the piece with inimitable grace and fidelity to the
life.
The exercises closed with q Patriotic Tableau
and the singing ofthe song "The Battle ICry OF
Freedom. The receipts from the sale of tickets
on Tuesday evening were sos.
A motion was made and carried unanimously
BY the audience, to request that the entertain
ment be repeated, which request was acceded
to, and our citizens were delighted with another
exhibition last evening, The Hall was not SO
FIJI as the first evening, still there was a very
respectable audience. The Tableaux and repre-
sensations exoelled, if anything, those of the
previous evening, as we'll in the selection of
pieces as in their execution.
This whole affair was q complete success, and
those who had it in charge deserve great praise
for their energy, skill and Judgment. The en-
tire receipts will vary but little from $500.

it only buys three bushels. Fast fall a years EubseriptioH

seven and a half pounds. Last fall a years subscription
would pay for from 7 to yards Of factory cloth, noVis only
pays for Q to 4 yards. And everything else is in the same

such circumstances Of attsn ptins to continue the publioa-

Ill. Cavalry, is home On a short visit for the
holidays, and we were happy to receive a call
from him yesterday. Capt. HYNEs, is almost
as good a printer as he is a soldier, which is
high praise, if we may judge by the many
lattering compliment, he has received from
his commanding officers, for dashing bravery
and many other fine soldierly qualities, and his
old instincts always lead him to the printing
Office. May his shadow never grow less, and
may his highest hopes be realized. He is one
of the boys Kenosha may feel pround Of.

At EEOme.=Ihe MANY friends

At E1Ome.-Ihe many friends of Rev.
A. HANSON have the pleasure of again shak-
ing hands with him after an absence of two
years. Mr.. Hanson returned home from Mon
rovia, Liberia, where he has acted as Consul, and
U. s. Agent for the past two years, with the
expectation Of remaining, having found that
the compensation of the position was not suf-
fcient to warrant his remaining longer tfere.
On his arrival at Baltimore he first learned
that he had received the Appointment of Con-
sui General at Liberia, a post of much respon-
sibility with a salary Of $4,000 per annum.-
He will Immediately return to his increased
duties and responsibilities.
The feverso of the western coast of Africa are
almost fatal to white men, and Mr.. Hanson
has not escaped them, but an excellent con-
s%titution triumphed over them, and he is now
looking well and healthy. "

Gift PanoFaimR.-We call attention to the
adv semsnt of Lanes Gift Panorama, to be
exhibited at Simmons Hall this afternoon and evs

series of paintings have been exhibited. we Judge
1t is well worth the patronage Of our citizens. We
clip the following from the Milwaukee Wisconsin,:
The panorama contains 10 900 8 uare feet o.
canvas, and has fifty views, nearly all of them Of
direct interest to the people of Wisconsin, Near
ly all the battles in which Wisconsin troops have
been largely engaged are here represented, and
there are also a tew views located here in Milwau.
kee such as the return of the LIST regiment, and their
march up East Water street. a review of other
regiments, and scenes of various descriptions, in
cl uding some of the finest public buildings in the
city.
In connection with the panorama, a system of
gifts has been arranged, aud on this account it ia
designated az the Gift Panorama. For instance
every person purchasing a dollar ticket, admit
ting four persons, is entitled to a chance in this
s. stem of gifts, which range in value as high as
$25. There is also music with the panorama, and
Mr.. Lane is himself to do the descriptive talking
Those who know him need not be assured that
it will be done right. "
