Amusements,

Masonic TEMPLE-The presentation
of the great play of Ingomar, last night,
was a splendid success Mr.. Hanchetts
rendition of the character Of the Barbar-
ian Chief, is, by the popular verdict, de-
clared indispensable. 1t was the most
perfect and natural representation we
ever saw, and stamps him as a star in
his profession. aie.1-1 g
Miss Fanny B. Price, as Parlheuia,
was magnificent and faultless. 50
All the parts were well sustained, and
a. highly appreciatiYe and intelligent
audience was greatly delighted.
Tonight Miss Fanny B.. Price viii APP
pear as Lucretia Borgia, with Mr.. Han
chett as the Duke, characters in which
they have no superiors. The cast for
the play is q strong one, and should at
tract crowded house. .a..
RULFs OF ETIeUErTR.-There are q
few habits that we are delighted to see
prevail at the theatre which shows the
superior refinement Of our city.
1st. We notice a number Of gentle
men ~ sit in the front side seats with
their hats on, which betokens high re-
spect for the ladies present. s
I'd. Other high-bred gentlemen CD
swing their neither limbs over the backs
of the chairs in front of them, showing
that they belong to the aristocraey, and
are independent.
Sd. Still others leave the Hall between
each act and return in the midst Of
some thrilling scene, and walk heavily
the whole length of the aisle to their
seats, thus evincing their modssty. their
appreciation of the play, and their re-
spect for the audience,
These are graees which should be Gull
tivated-they are so graceful and re-
fined
MOZART HALL-0ur people win not
forget the. rich entertainment al Mozart

preparations have been made to secure
the most perfect satisfaction, and an
opportunity is here offered to combine
pleasure with benevolence. The cause

The FAMILY OF PRESIDENT ANDREW
JOHNSON. Everybody has now, Of course,
a right to know all about President John

Herewith, and in response to that very
natural curiosity, contemporary fur
nishes the following:
Mr.. Johnson's family resides at pres
emit in Nashville, Tennessee, and con-
sists Of bis wife and four children-two
Rons and two daughters. His son Rob
ert is twenty nine, and Andrew johnson,

SHORT OF FUNDs.-The friends of the
Prince of Wales represent that this
young gentleman is in needy circIm-
stances, in consequence of the increased
duties devolying on him, since the Queen
was called into retirement by domestic
affection. His gross income does not
exceed 100000 per annum, including
the receipts from the duchey of Corn
wall, a Parliamentary grant (Which,
when approved, some people were foolish
enough to believe adequste,) and the
rents of the Sandrigham estate There
are few other trifing amounts within
reach, of which perhaps the largest is
$50, 600 pin money voted to the Princess,
but nothing worthy of mention. Now,
it ID absolutely necessary that the Prince
should keep up good exterior, in order
to escape invidious remark The ordi-
nary hospitable ties of high social DO
sitiou must be dispensed, to say nothing
Of kid gloves, embroidered neck-ties,
etc. All this disposes of good deal of
money, a. young men the world over can
readily testify. And yet there are some
old.fsshioIed people in England, COM
monlv denominated cold fogies" or ''fos.
sils, who say the wants of the imperial
scions a. unreasonable, aud that one
hundred thousand sterling ought to be
satisfactory. They think an heir to the
throne does not properly attempt and is
not expected TO vie with the actual in
cumbent This latter class, however,
are probably in minority and viii be
voted down

STATE HOUSE DEooRATIoSs-We have
been shown a drawing of the plan for
decorating the State House for the tuner
al ceremonies on Sunday neat The
pillars are to be draped in black and
white, with garlands of evergreen, inter
woven, with portraits of Washington,
Grant, Sherman, Hackleman, Sheridan,
Hovey, Lincoln, Thomas, Lew. Wallace,
Morton, Rosecrans and Hathaway, sus-
pended at intervals. Above the pillars
will be handsome painting of the State
coat of arms. by Glessing, with On ap-
propriate display of daga The north
end of the State House will be decorated
in the same manner.
As the coffin will not be opened, the
catafalque under the dome viii be built
about four feet higher than was at first
intended, so as to afford q better view Of
the coffin. 1t will be covered with black
velvet, trimmed with white silk or silver.
A chandelier, with twelve burners, win
hang Immediately above, underneath a
black canopy spangled with silver stars.
A bust of the lamented dead, crowned
with laurel wreaths, will stand at the
head of the coffin.
The entrance way will be appropriate
ly curtained, and the floor is to be COW

TowS Clock We publish elsewhere
q very sensible communication from
Rev. W. II. McCarer, pastor of the Wal
nut Street Church, on the subject of
placing a town clock in the tower of that
building. We entirely agree with him
that first rate clock placed in such >
tower may be strictly relied on. The
cost of such clock at this time, as we
are informed by persons well advised on
the subject, would be, probably, not less
than IS, 900, but such clock would last
for perhaps nearly century.

CAUGHT N THE Ao--One day last
week seventeen bushwhackers rode into
Decatur, Tenn, and began pillaging.
They loaded every wagon and carriage
they could find with goods and provis-
ions, the inhabitants not resisting, and
the women only demonstrating. The
Nashville Press says the gang was CON-
posed of young men living in the valley.
One woman who knew them said to diff
ferent ones: 1.-THE Union soldiers will be
here soon, and your fathers cotton shall
pay for this" She was laughed at, bat
Just as the gang was leaving town, a
company of FEDERAL cavalry, that had
hesn cut off from Gen Wilson's forces,
confronted them, and several of the
guerrillss were killed and the balance
captured.

that the National Banks of that city
have resolved that after the FIRST day of
May next, the note Of the free and Sta, f,

will only be taken at discount of two
per cent, and all Eastern bank notes at
S per cent. We presume this action OF
