mic Of the Sunday School of St. Peters
Roman Catholic Church comes of on
Tuesday next, at the Ford Place, and
promises to be an unusually pleasant
and interesting affair. The proceeds of

worthy object, that of purchasing q
Sunday School library. We hope to see
the grounds crowded through the day.

The VARIETIES. s.--Another excellent
bill will be presented on this stage to-
night, introducing the entire company
in new and pleasing songs, dances and
acts. The local burlesque of the K. K.
K. and the beautiful spectacular panto
mime of the Green Monster will also be
presented once more. The house will, of
course, be crowded from pit to dome.
MAY BALL.-The opening ball of the
season, at Forest Hill last night, was
success in every sense of the word. The
attendance was at once large and select,
and the pastimes Of the evening we're
conducted in manner to afford general
satisfaction and enjoyment. Prominent

NEW MEMPHIS THEATER. The at
tendance at this establishment last night,
on the occasion of the amateur enter
tainment in aid of the Masonic Orphan
Fund, was both large and elite The
entire parquette was filled to repletion,
while the galleries we're well patronized.
We have seldom seen so large per
centsge of ladies in any audience, and
this alone is compliment to the per-
formers, the highest that could be paid
them. The Serious Family was pre-
sented in manner of which profession
ais would have had no occasion for being
ashamed. We would draw no invidious
distinction between the members of the
drdmatis person@, where all acquitted
themselves so creditably. The recitation
of "Shamus o Brien," by Mr.. McKeon,
was almost faultless, as was also the reci-
tation in dialogue, by Messrs. Lehman
and Leubrie, while the graceful pas by
the airy and sylph-like prodigy, little
Katie Gilbert, was received with every
mark of admiration, ard repeated in re-
sponse to Numerous and enthusiastic
calls. The proceeds of the house we're,
doubtless, very handsome. 81 ae'
RAQUErTE.-This great national game
of the North American aborigines will
be played at Mound City tomorrow af-
ternoon, by band of fifty Indians, rep
resenting four distinct tribes. Those
who have witnessed similar performances
by the same party pronounce them wild
and exciting in the highest degree. We
doubt not, therefore, hundreds will go
over from this city tomorrow to witness
the novelty, as IL certainly is. The
steamer Peosta, chartered for the express
purpose, will carry those wishing to view
the game over the river, leaving the foot
ofUniou street at eleven. one and half
past two o'clock. The fare for the round
