ALLEGoRIcAL TABLEAUx.-City Hall was
filed with very large audience last evening,
many of whom, as may lily be imagined,
were little folks, who. in common with their
elders enjoyed the entertainment hugely. The
tableaux are all connected in the dialogue, aud
are supposed to refer to some of the principal
scenes in the life OF our Savior, commencing
with the advent of the wise men among the
shepherds, following the star in the Elst-
Many of the scenes are very pretty, and es-
pecially the forming of the cross" and "sufier
little children" The "Beatitudes" was the
most artistic of any of those we saw, but it
seems invidious to particularize where all did
SO we'll, and We should advise all who wish to
assist the society aud at the same time see
something out of the ordinary line, 10 attend
the final performance to night.

great boon, HEALTH, and they cannot be en-
joyed without it. And yet how little is it val
ued, and how carelessly preserved. The laws
of nature cannot be violated with impunity.
Night revelry, luxurious living, irregularity of
meals and a disordered appetite, will gradually
destroy the power and activity of the stomach.
How many ladies and gentlemen eat and drink
disease at late suppers, and arise in the morn
ing with headache, loss of appetite, feeling Ian
guild and unrefreshed. There can be no medi-
cal remedy that will turn lead into food, or
poisoned drinks into nutriment, but medical
science can assist nature, supply exhausted
fluids, and to great extent correct the effects
of disease. In all cases such as the above, we
recommend PLANTATION BIrTERs. You will
find them Just the thing-at the same time
most delicious tonic and appetizer.

AS Christmas is approaching and many peo-
pie are exercising their minds what sort of
present to make to their adult friends, we
think there is no prettier gift than handsome
painting or chrome, or engraving, handsome
ly framed.
Saturday morning we dropped into Harry
Browns studio. There we saw a very fine ma
rine view, which is ordered by parties in Hart
ford. 1t is of large size, and pleased US partc-
ularly on account of the more subdued color
ing of the rocks than is exhibited in many OF
Harry's paintings, while the effect of the sun
| light on the more distant rocks and the waves
is very fine. Mr.. Brown has for sale coast
| views off Mt Desert and Grand Menan, and
landscaps on the pemigewasset, Connecticut
and all of our Maine rivers.
Miss Haley has a very pretty, quiet little bit
of landscape entitled "Down by t1e Brook
Mr. Leighton, a rising young artist, little
| rural scene called the "Halt by the Wayside"
in which one should particularly notice the
effect of the light striking upon the road be-
tween the large trees, which overshadow the
highway, and the fence on the opposite side.
Al f. F. Hale's ON Free st. Will be found
large number of new chromos just arrived
| from New York. Mr.. Hale had hoped to get
into his new store before this, but has been
| disappointed. In landscapes will be found
| "The Ford" after j. r. Lee, and two fine White
| Mountain scenes. Also a fine view of the
"Yungfrau." In marine views, Fresh
Breeze" after Harding, recalls summer excur-
| sions in the harbor. Two charming little pic
lures, entitled "Sober' and Drunk" are sure
| to excite the risibilities. There are also some
| fine Autumn Leaves" in water colors, hardly
| distinguishable from natural leaves pressed
| and varuished. The original author of the
| slhouettes of the "Grecian Bend" has got
| new one of Horace Greeley, styled the Moral
| Philosopher" There are two fine chromos
"When the family are not at home," and
"Poorer Than yourself"
| McKenny and Davis have not yet got in
their full Christmas stock and we shall visit
them again. In their Art Gallery are several
| printings displayed at the late Fair, among
them Bradburys ''Wild Flowers" Seavey's
Water Lilies" and two landscapes by Hud-
,son. Miss Beckett has "Swiss Mountain
| Scene" on exhibition, but it is not in a good
| light, and is to be put in the Gallery where it
may be seen to better advantage. There are
many chromos some of which are new, such as
a number of fruit pieces, one especially, a
Regal Dessert" Several fine Swiss views;
the photograph (French) OF Rock of Ages
Cattle pieces; Dog pieces; "windsor Castle"
new; the Christmas Bell" not Hew but al

many others.

COCK AND J. Q. ADAMs-sPEEcH BY THURMAN.
Washington dispatches Of the 22l and 23i to the
estefn papers say:
The only resolution adopted by the Democratic
committee was one declaring the call for the
national convention shall embrace all WAC are
willing to aid in Manufacturing the Union, aud OPP
posed TO radicalism. Just previous to adjourn
Of the Soldiers and Sailors Uaion, were admitted
and formally announced 10 the president that they
would call their convention to meet in New York
at the same tine. The last vote on the place was
August Belmont, f. o. Prince, W. A. Galbraith,
W. f. Storey. George II. Paul and Louis V. Bogy
were appointed committee TO draw up an ad-
dress. They meet on Monday.
A Washington special TO the Herald says Il Is
confident that the committee, as q body, is oD-
posed TO Pendieton for the presidency. Seymeur
Is talked Of by many Of the representatives n
the Eastern States; bat his claim assumed no
definite shape. Senator Hendricks, of Indisns
viii be pressed by his State. All propositions ia
favor Of Gen. Hancock are met with the reply
'sKe don't want q soldier; we want q civil q ~
For vice president the most marked unauimity is
manifested for John Quincy Adams.
The decision 10 hold the Democratic convention
at New York, on the 4th Of July, is considered as
hostile 10 Pendleton. Many Western members
express the opinion that Senator Hendricks, Of
Indiana, will be the nominee. The selection Of
New FORK was made by majority of three over
all oiher places. The time was fxed by a ma
jofity Of two against any earlier day.
The convention of conservative soldiers aud
sailors, in which half at least Of Northern States
were unrepresenied. was also held yesterday, and
the agreement reached to meet the national con-
vention in New York, on the 4th Of July, to take
such action as may seem proper to them then and
there.
A Washington special, 70 the Herald. says this
evening the senator elect from Ohio, Judge Thur
man. made q speech from the balcony Of the
Ebbitt House. to q large sereuading party. He
said the present representative body in the
national legislature was mere faction OF the
American people, aad commended that until the
entire number Of the States were represented Ia
Congress, such thing as republican form Of
government was not legally declared. Every sen
tmsnt he uttered about State OF the South be-
ing kept outof the Union by the operation Of the
laws which disfranchise whits male citizens Of
said States, and give controlling power TO the
blacks, was warmly spplauded.
