PArwoRTH's CRY CoEsEr BASD-This COM

MINsTRELs-Duprez L Benedict's min
strels gave 4 splendid entertainment at the
Academy OF Music last evening to a very
select audience. Unlike most minstrel
troupes they depend chiefly on their
merit rather than their grotesque represen-
tations for their appreciation-shOwing We
think decided taste and d~iscernment. The
first part, which usually consists of music,
song and jests, was more than commonly
well rendered. Dick Sands, the champion
clog dancer of the world, appeared in the
second part and won golden opinions. We
cannot here specify every excellent part
all was good and received well merited ap-
plause.
Another exhibition will be given this
evening with an entire change of program
me.
J. N.-The immortal al. N" who has
undergone twenty four voluntary inearcer-
ations, is the only man who can speak in
the South, and proposes TO offer himself as
a sacrifice at the Philadelphia Convention
and assume the pressure for President
Johnson and those opposed to him, without
being responsible for either.
d. N" was at the WeddelI last evening,
but hearing the pressure was great against
his truths and the band occupying the
Square, he concluded to postpone his mar
tyrdom. He martyrs in Cadiz on the 9th,
and addresses the masses of that city on
the 2Sth.
THANKs.-The editorial corps of the
DAILY LEADER desire to express to Pap
worth's City COrnet Band their apprecia-
ton Of, and thanks for, the beautiful sere-
nades in front of their residences last even
ing, witching them from their slumberF,
and blending with their dreams half-re-
mcmbesed tones sweet as the harpings of
the viewless land.
We understand that the editors of the
other city papers were similarly eompli
mented.
VESSEL BuILDIyG.-A new bark rugged
vessel is now in process of construction in
Quayle & Martins ship-yard, which it is
intended shall be the finest craft afoat on
the lakes in every particular. She will be
COCO bushels capacity, and in everything
that pertains 10 her construction will be of
the best and choicest material. She will be
owned by 0. L. Minis, Esq, of Buffalo, and
when ready for commission, commanded by
Capt. Flint, late of the bark City of Mil
waukee, who also looks after her construc-
ton.
RIDICULOUS RUMoRs.-Says the Sandusky
Register : Every day rumors are current
that cholera is raging in Toledo, Cleveland,
and other ~neighboring cities. Six cases of
cholera were said to have occurred in
Cleveland on Monday, but the LEADER
says that the rumor was entirely unfoun-
ded. People should be careful about CIR
c~ulating such reports. The health of San
dusky was never better at this season of the
year. 1t is now highly improbable that
the cholera Will advance much west of the
Hudson this year.
RoUGH on C~LEvELASD.-A dispatch from
Louisville to the Associated Press an
nounces that g man was drowned off a fer
ry-boat in that city on Tuesday IN a state Of
intozication. This care rise to the report
that the man belonged TO one Of the CeUeland
Musical Societies. Things nave come to a
pretty pass indeed, when a man is taken
for a CIoTelander simply because he is
drunk. If our citizens behave, while away
from home, in e manner to Justify such in
~ferences, "there is something rotten in the
state of Denmark"
FEsTIvAL--Tho Freedmen's Educat1~nal
Society are making preparations for 4 grand
time next Wednesday evening at CARROTS
Hall, it being the anniversary of West In
dia emancipation. The young ladies are
preparing themselves to give quite a treat
in the way of Vocal and instrumental music
Some essays are also being prepared for the
occasion, in addition to which the able and
eloquent J. NJ. Langston, of Oberlin will
deliver an address on the occasion. We an
ticipate for them a grand time.

LARRe SHIPxEETs.-The movement ofIum-
Der cargoes the past two days has been
ually brisk, not less than so cargoes having
come down the lakes from the pineries of
the west. Five of these cargOes were by
steam propellers, carrying each ABOUT geo.
