The New Orleans Ministries were greeted
with a rousing house, at Darts Hall, last
night,-the largest audience seen there this
winter; and the entertainment gave univer-
sal and unbounded satisfaction. Where al
was so well done, it is almost invidious to
particularize-bu we cannot omit to speak
Of Walter Wentworth, in his great contor
ton act, as something superior to anything
of the kind we have ever witnessed. 1t is
surprising that any man can twist himself
into SO many and curious shapes, and live
No description of his wonderful movements
can do justice to the subject-he must be
seen to be appreciated. In his piece entitled
aerial Rings there came near being q
fearful accident. The iron by which one of
the rings was suspended to the ceiling pull
ed out and came down with a crash. Mr..
Wentworth lodged it so that the iron passed
his head, but hit him on the shoulder. He
hung by one hand and in a moment of ter
ror the other members of the company forgot
to come to his relief until he spoke them
Fortunately no serious harm occurred. The
piece, OF course, was not attemptsd-but the
ropes will be securely fastened and the piece
performed tonight.
Miss Maud Stanley, by her modest and
graceful demeanor, attractive personal ap-
peassilDe and excellent musical taste, won
the admiration of all. She possesses voice
of exquisite sweetness, remarkable power,
great compass, and fine cultivation, and her
singing was rapturously applauded and al.
ways encored.
The cornet solo, by Mr.. Benjamin, was
excellent and Hank Goodman and O'Neill
as End Men," were excessively droll and
funny. In fact everything was good, and
we look for a full house again tonight.

HOwaa bachelor was taken In and
Done for by q Woman Doctor.

DOn0 AOE ny u woman DocLOE.
The Providence papers give the fol-
lowing account of how wealthy Mr..
Peabodie, OF that city, was induced to
leave all his property to a spiritualistio
woman doctor: 1t seems that about
year and half ago Mrs. Petty, named
as heir to the property, received call
one day from the wealthy young bach
elor, who was DESTROYS to obtain treat.
ment for n painful and lingering dis
ease. He had been treated by scores
of regular practitioners, but all their eff.
forts had proved futile in restoring TO
the invalid his wOnted health. So hear
ing of the success of the mediumisttc
dootress, he came to try her skill in the
wonderful art of healing. She could
cure him. Visits were frequent, and
various kinds of treatment were adopt
ed, aud the patient seemed to get better
and better. or course the experience OF
better health made the opulent indlvid-
ual generous. His fees were proIuse.
Money WAS OF no account He gave 1t
almost constantly. Down one day came
a check for $4,000. When 1t was pre-.
scented at the bank for payment, twas
thought TO be mistake, and clerk
was sent out TO hunt up the drawer,
and ascertain its correctness. II
WAS Eaid however; and the green
backs went to carpenters, masons, and
laborers, who were building new and
eleRauJ nOuSeS lOE the ldlE uIlu buC-
cessfnl doctress. He came at last to
believe in things unseen but potent.
They had spiritual SiItings together.
The room wherein these happy and in
tereSlln2 hours were passed was christ
ened "tho room OF Jesus" because
heavenly visitors came down and
abode in 1t, and uttered, through the
earthly medium, words of divine and
godlike import. The treatment and
the familiar acquaintance continued
from month to month, and another
check was given by the invalid. this
time amounting to SIS. 600. All at once
the improving health OF the patient
seemed to fail. The bed was taken TO
and the man felt the earth slipping
away from him hour by hour. When
will was made, in which, in consid-
Grafton of the respect that the dying
man felt for the woman, and for her
cause, all his large estate, estimated at
$4,000, was given unreserved to her
and her heirs, in fee simple. The heirs
at-lRw, when they heard of the disposal
of their kinsman's property, were nat
urally enough Rstonished, aud meas
ures were at once taken to contest the
probate of the last will and testament OF
the uncle. on the ground OF insanity,
undue influence, and unfit state OF
mind to make such document.
