done to the Academy of the Fine Arts by the
hail-storm, the exhibition of T. Buchanan
Reads picture of ''Sheridan's Ride" was alb
ruptly brought to close, much to the disap-
pointment of a large number of our citizens.

Gallery, No. 1884 Chestnut street, opposite the

in honor of the General Assembly, at the
Academy of Music on Tuesday evening, May 81.
An improvement over the usual mode of pro-
viding such entertainments is, that the commits
sioners will be distributed through the house
instead of being seated in body thus leaving
as good seats for their friends who purchase
tickets The sale of tickets will be announced
in few days. OF course the house will be
filled to its utmost capacity.
