The Parens. Conne,-t

This musical exhibition takes place to-mor-
row evening at City Hall. The expectations
of our lovers of music are raised very high,
and we judge, from all the information we
have received, that they will not be disappoint-
ed. No such artistic as Parepa has ever visit
ed our city, and we are glad our citizens will
have the opportunity to hear music Of the very
highest order. Perhaps it is not too much to
say that this lady has no superior in the world,
especially, when all the qualities that consti-
tute vocalist of the first class are taken into
the account. Mr.. Levy, too, stands first and
foremost in the rank of cornet players. Carl
Rosa is also placed high by all musicians as
violinist; and then, in addition, we are to have
Seguin and Castle, two celebrated vocalists.-
Absolute and Lang will also be present and
lend their assistance. Such is the combina-
ton of musical talent which viii appear to-
morrow evening; and if our spacious Hall Is
not graced 18th one of the most brilliant audi
ences ever assembled within its walls, we shall
be greatly disappointed. Reserved seats are
now. selling rapidly at Paine's Music Store
and we advise our readers to secure their pla-
ces in season. Mr.. Bateman has placed his
admission fees at very reasonable rate, and
we trust and believe our citizens will not let
this opportunity pass without taking advan-
tage of it. Years may elapse before they will
again have the privilege of witnessing the
richest musical entertainment ever offered in
our CITY. i-lEa.N

NJ The Democrats claim to have ruled the
country, with short intervals, for half century
previous to 1861; and yet all this time slavery
was taking root and STRENGTHENING itself, be-
coming, as ali now confess, the great rock on
which the Union was most likely to be wreck
ed. The Republicans have been in power less
than five years, and yetslavery is abolished, the
people of the South cooperating in the work.
and the last root of bitterness, according to the
Democrats has been extracted. To which
party will posterity owe the deepest debt of
gratitude ...,tf

CHRIsTMAs.-We have never known Christ
mas to be so generally observed as a holiday,
in this city, as it was ON Monday. Business
was suspended, and every one seemed inclined
to make it perfect gala day.
Religious services were performed as usual
in the Roman Catholic and the Episcopa
Churches, with great pompt and splendor in
the former.
The sleighing was grand, and everything in
the shape of horse flesh was obliged to do duty
on that day.
1t was no Merry Christmas to the horses.
Congress Street, in the afternoon, seemed to
be the park for driving, and the sidewalks
were lined with spectators, who viewed with
interest the vehicles as they passed, beyond
number, up and down the street. 1t was the
iveliest time ever seen on that street. Good
humor prevailed and every one seemed happy.
And, with all the fun and enjoyment, there
was but very little intemperance to be seen.
We observed but one single person, through
out the day, that appeared to be the worse off
for liquor, and this one knew enough to be
making his way home, where he would be
cared for.
We heard of one or two accidents, occurring
by sleighs running into each other. In one
case horse had his leg broken, and his own
er was obliged to kill him. In another case.
the runners of both sleighs, that came in col
lisiOn, were stripped of, but no person that
we heard of was injured.

1 FATAL AcCIDENT.-Mr. John Archibald,
one of the employees in the repair shop of the
Grand Trunk Railway, went into shop on
Commercial Street, Monday afternoon, for the
pose OF lighting cigar. Having lighted it, he
started to leave the shop, but stumbled and
fell, his neck striking ON the Threshold He
was taken up insensible, and surgeon was inn
mediately called; but all efforts were vain, and
he died in few hours, his neck having been
dislocated by the fall. Archibald was a single
man, "a years of age, and native of Nova
Scotia, where his mother resides.
Coroner Hall was called to view the body.
After learning all the circumstances he deemed
an inquest unnecessary. s~'lS

large classes he has taught, we should Judge
that he deserves all the encouragement he has

any wishing to learn this polite accomplish
ment, to secure place in the new class.

THEATRE.-The Continental Troupe Ct
Messrs. Morris Brothers, Pell &c Trowbridge,
made their bow to Portland audience Mon
day evening. The house was crowded with
beauty and fashion, and the performances were
warmly applauded.
The plays selected were well calculated 10.
exhibit the talents Of the several members of
the company, and it was the universal expresf
sion of opinion that the Continental Troupe
was far ahead of any stock company that has
yet exhibited in this city. The selection of
artistes appear to have been made with judg-
ment and good taste. and we congratulate the
proprietors upon securing so excellent troupe.
Mr.. Medium, not unknown to Portland
tbeatre-goers, is the leading man; Mr.. W. j.
LeMoyne is the first old man, and Mr.. j. De-
lano the second old man; Mr.. w. IL. Otis IS
the eccentric comedian, and Frank Harden
burgh the low comedian; Mr. ID. r. Allen does
the juveniles, and Messrs. w. II. Chester, L.
NJ. Hunter, j. A. Adams, and j. Keeie, are
the second low comedians.
Mrs. ID. X. Allen is the leading lady; Mrs.
James Dickson, singing chamber maid; Miss
Susan Flood, Juvenile walking lady; Mrs. j. II.
Rogers, first old lady; Mrs. w. H. Chester,
second old lady; Mrs. II. A. Whitney, second
singing chambermaid; Mrs. L. M. Hunter,
walking lady, with plenty of supernumeraries,
and a corps de ballet. The orchestra under
the direction of Napier Lothian, was coed
and efficient. The curtain was PROMPTLY
OF f1a
unnecessary delay in any thing.
We heard no fault found with any of the
actors, which we consider something singular,
from its being the first appearance of nearly
every one of them in this theatre. We in
cline to the opinion that it will become the
most popular stock company in Boston.
Tuesday evening the comedy of Leap Year,
and the farce of Phenomenon in a Smock
Frock, were admirably performed to very
fine audience. The favorable impression
made upon the first evening was confirmed,
and repeated plaudits were accorded to the
performers. We will not be invidious in Sc
lecting few of them for praise, when all did
so well. Our old theatre-goers (and they are
judges0 pronounce the company superb"
The music by the fine orchestra was excellent
much the best that we have had at our
theatre.
This evening the play will be Tobin's popu-
lar comedy Of The Honey Moon, and the
musical farce of The Swiss SWANS.
The company perform here but three even
ings longer, as the members are obliged to be
in Boston on Saturday, to prepare for opening
the Continental Theatre in that city on Mon
day. o-- l.-- 1J-
On Thursday evening, Mrs. Lon Morris, a
beautiful and accomplished lady, will make
her appearance as Pauline, in the Lady of
Lyons-her second appearance on any stage.
