MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
MIR. Edwin Booth as ssshyIocIs. ,,

Mr.. Booths present engagement promises to
be one of the most brilliant that he has ever
played In this city. The theatre has been filled
to its utmost capacity every evening with fashion
able audiences, and the warmest appreciation of
Mr.. Booths efforts has been shown. Last
evening The Merchant of Venice was performed
with Mr.. Booth as "Shylock." This is one of
the least satisfactory of Mr. Booths persona
tions, and yet in many respects IL is one of his
very best as an artistic study. His conception
of the part is original and picturesque, his
makeup" excellent and his acting in some of
the difficult scenes is entitled to the highest
commentator. His voice, however, initiates
greatly against his success, and while the more
critical admirers of the drama will always hold
Mr.. Booths "Shylock" in esteem for its intrinsic
merits, IL will never make the same impression
on a miscellaneous audience as his Hamlet" or
'Iago," the last named of which is, in our
opinion, his best performance.
The AMERICAN CONSERVATORY OF Music
On last Wednesday afternoon, before one of the
largest and most select of Philadelphia audi
ences the thirty-first matinee of the American
Conservatory of Music took place. The pro-
gramme for this occasion was very fine aud
complete. The overture to Mozarts I'll Seraglio"
was played by the professors and pupils of the
orchestral department, and gave general salts
faction. The concerto in minor, Op. ~,
Beethoven, for piano, with orchestral accom-
panment was executed by Professor John f.
Hmmelsbach in correct and effective style.
The "Traumbilder dream Pictures) Fantasie,"
by Lumbye, was performed by the members of
the 0rcneStral department WIN gOOu taSte ana
produced marked effect upon the audience.
The first concerto, A minor, Op. H. Golterman,
for violoncello, with orchestral accompaniment,
was played with the fine style and expression
peculiar to Professor Hennig. The most re-
markable performance of the afternoon. how
ever, was the violin solo, consisting of two parts
("Variations de Bravoures," for the G string
only, by Paganini, and "La Cascade" by De
KontskD, performed by Professor Wenzel j.
Kopta, the brilliancy of whose execution took
the audience completely by storm The singing
by both professors and pupils was remarkable
for correctness and elegance. The whole per-
formance was meritorious, and gave evidence of
the great care bestowed in the general manage
ment of the Conservatory.

price OF over $500 per acre While a part OF the re-
mainder OF the land is OF little value for agricultural
purposes, there is another part from which con-
siderable sum will bp tlized. The value OF the

valuable and perfectly safe investment.
