acters, upon the occasion of complimentary tes-
t;monial rendered him by many influential citizens
whose names are published elsewhere. We AN

Prince" and |" Temptation, or the Irish Emi-
grant," are the pieces selected.
ACADEMY OF NUs1c.-To-day the matinee per-
formapee comes around again, and what with the
fsir weather, clear skies and warm sun wooing

There viii be the usual emount of songs, dances,
and funny sayings. and above all, the little ones

upon such beautiful illuminated tableaux as few
children, ereat or small ever dreamed of. even
after esting turkey and plum pudding od libituns.
