JAMES SrARS.-The grand benefit given
last Saturday evening to james Stark,
the well-known actor, so long sick AZ
the International, Virginia, was very
complimentary in every sense of the
word. The spacious theater was dense'y
crowded, every inch of standing or st
ting room being fully occupied The
dress circle presented an especially bril-
liant appearance with the gay dresses of
the numerous ladies, large numbers OF
whom had to be provided with chairs
and stools all around next the walls OF
the house, all the regular seats being
fully occupied. The singiu: of the mem
bers Of the Choral Society, accompanied
By Professor Gee on the piano, WAS OF
course unexceptionablc, not calling FOR
criticism. Mr.. Hoskim, u member OF the
Gold Hill Brass Band, also sang a comic
song or two, which took immensely with
the audience. The reci,aiions by Coloael
Bob Taylor and Dan Vigil Gates, were
we'll received, as was also the recital OF
"Shmaus'O'Brieu, by Rev. Mr.. Cheney.
The Gold Hill Bsnd filed the orchestra,
and discoursed some most excellent
pieces of music occasionally. There are
fine musicians in that baud. During An
