PAxosAnA.-Risley's magnificent panoe-
ANA Of the Thames viii bs unrolled again
this evening 1t the German Theatre, for the
benefit Of the Christian Home. We hope to
sss every seat in the Theatre occupied. The
cause is most praiseworthy one.
PrsLrc Noncs.-Mayor Lowry recon-
msnds, in view Of the very unsafe condition
Of the ice, that not only teams but foot pas
sengers refrain from crossing until It be-
comes stronger. The advice il safe, and
should not be disregarded.

who wish to get the very prettiest and most
durable styles Of Album now made, should
call At E. n. Greene's new store, Brady, be-
tween 4th and 9th streets. He has very
large end most beautiful stock. Call and
zee for yourselves.
BAxKRurr LAw.-It is thought that the
Bankrupt bill, thst has 50 readily passed the
House Of Representatives, will also pass the
Senate, and become law. A judicious law
Of this kind might be creditable to our stat
ute books; but one got up for some particu-
lar temporary occasion would be injudie-
ious.
GREAr HRLP.-The net proceeds Of the
Tableaux exercises for the benefit of the
Christian Home. Amount to the handsome
sum Of $43s. II, which will do much towards
building up that institution. We trust the
public will not fail to patronize the Panara-
ma of the Thames this evening. The pro-
ceeds Of which exhibition 70 for the same
charitable purpose.
The CoxIxG DRAFr.-In the course Of
few weeks instructions will be sent from
Washington for 4 new draft. There il no
longer any doubt about it. 1t is the part Of
wisdom to provide for the emergency. We
notice that the Fourth Ward is taking the
right course. The other wards should 90
and do likewise at once. It 10 high time to
be aetipc in this mater.
