The AcADENY OF MUsIC.-As was expect.
ed, the attractions offered on the occasion
of the benefit of Mr.. R. Stephens, drew to
the Academy on Saturday night a very
large and appreciatiye house. The nautical
drama. &c Drso--Asaa" for which wehave
waited lopg,proved a beautiful and fsscina-
ting performance. Mr.. Stephens was in his
best trim, and dsmsaned himself in s man
nsr to win the applause of the house. AT q
convenient part of the performance Mr..
Thayer stepped upon the stage and, in be-
half of Mr.. Stephens many friends, pre-
scented him a elegant gold-headed cane, in
token of their appreciation of his abilities
as an actor. Anest little speech wss made
by the donor and an appropriate reply given.
The chief novelty of the evening was
the farce, "The Irish Lion" Mr.. John
Heron, better known SIS "Bsrney, the
Guide" appeared as "TIm Moore" and
Irish character was never better d~elinested.
The interpreted songs sung by him, were
rendered as only "Barney" is capable Of,
and elected great applause.
Mrs. simcoe Lees p~ersODation of "Mrs.
Fizgig," was in her best style.
Mr.. Ellsler has made a brief engage
ment with Mr.. Heron. Tonight the "Bar-
rack Room or, the Military Marriage"
will be presented, to be followed by the
farce, "Betsy Baker" and the play,
"Young America" Mr.. Heron will sing
several of his capital songs. OF course.
the Academy win be filled full.

'Soldier's Home has been for the past
two weeks crowded to its utmost capacity
by regiments returning home. Each, as
it passes through, is provided with a good
and abundant meal. During three days
last week Lac meals were given at the
"Home," and since Sunday, 1,l2O have
been served. tH.- -s.s
This heavy drain upon the resources of
the Soldiers Aid Society has been cheer
fully met, but the immense quantity of
provisions needed to feed SO large a num-
Der of men, makes it necessary for us to
again urgently desire citizens and our
friends in the country to send in contribu
lions of fresh vegetables, such as onions,
potatoes, radishes, beet aud spinsch greens,
asparagus, pieplant, &c. Pickles of all
kinds are much needed and also sour
krout.
Citizens and friends of the soldiers every
where are cordially invited to visit the
CLONE" and witness the efficiency and
largeresuIts of this noble charity.
Contributions can, be sent to the esol-
dier's Home" at the depot, or the rooms

add further that do not believe any

But would cast no reflections, as your
