Grand Lisa Weber Matinee this afternoon
at y O'Clock. Pluto, Pluto.
The IIsa Weber Troupe.

The Lisa Weber troupe of blondes gave
their second entertainment at Masonic
Hall last night, the performance opening
with the farce of the Dead Shot, and
followed by LA Sonnambula." The per-
Torrance was excellent throughout, and
greatly enjoyed by the audience, AS
Alessie, in the grand burlesqge, Miss
Weber fully sustained the high reputation
bestowed upon her by the press elsewhere
Her charming vivaciousness and spright-
illness, together with a fine voice and
figure, served to make her the centre Of
attraction. One of The most enjoyable
hits in Sonnambula was the barber scene,
in which Ketchum, as Count Rudolpho,
was fully equal to the occasion, and
stamped himself as a comedian of merit.
George Atkins, the funny man, personated
Amina, and kept the audience in roar
from beginning to end; while Vincent, as
the Village Notary, was a valuable acquisi-
ton to the cast of characters. Misses
Hattie O'Neal, Cassie Troy and others
rendered excellent support and aid in
making the burlesque success. A pleas
ing feature of the evenings entertainment
was the quartette of ''Come Where My
Love Lies Bleeding, in which the audi
ence had an opportunity of judging of the
musical talent of Miss Weber. While
much can be said of her merits as a bur-
lesquer, it is evident that she would have
been a brighter stari in the musical galaxy,
for her voice is as sweet as the tones of the
lutte.
There is to be matinee this evening, at
p o'clock, and tonight is the last of their
engagement, when a very attractive pro-
gramme will be presented.

A Distinguished Wildcat Hunter
In Wayne county there is now living
man by the name of David Rally, who,
though over one hundred and fifteen years
of age, is still in good health and fire.

miles to visit his nearest town. He has
resided in Wayne county for more
than fifty years, and has always led an &C
tive life. 1t is said that he never took a
dose of medicine until within the past few
weeks. He was great hunter, and has
probably killed as many wild cats, bears
and other ''varmints, as any man now
living in the State. Besides hunting, he
has spent great deal of his time in gath
ering chestnuts and berries, and has prob
ably been hunter and forester

never owned a horse, saying that he never
| had any use for one, and that he would
rather have dog than horse. He has

Hosrsenesss and all diseases of the bron-
chial tubes are cured by the Hungarian
Balsam of Life, the most popular and eff
fective cough remedy of the day. The
ingredients of this medicine are no secret
they may be read on the wrapper of
each bottle, and the perusal viii convince
any person of experience that this medi-
cine is good one. For twenty years pest,
testimonials from every State in the South
and West, have been received, by the pro-
prietors, of its efficacy. There is no OPT
ate to be found in its composition, and the
healing process commences with its use.
The afflicted should at least give it trial,
and very few doses will convince them
that here indeed they may find relief

yesterday morning, for murder in the
second degree, aud recommended punish
ment by imprisonment in the State Prison
for term of 20 years. A motion was
made for a new trial. The case of the
State VS., GalbraIth, for the murder of
Allen, occupied the COURT yesterday, and
will not be concluded, probably, before
Monday.
JUST .oEs' COURTS. Richard Watkins, a
colored individual, was brought before JUS
tice Basket yesterday charged with larce-
ny of money from the money-till of Mat
thew DAILY. Squire Basket found the
evidence sufficiently strong against Wad-
kins to warrant him in binding him over
for his appearance at the Criminal Court
in bond Of $500 Watkins couldn't raise
the paper, and was therefore committed to
jail.
The case of Andrew Scott, who had a
preliminary examination before Justice
Cassetty, on Tuesday last, on the charge Of
robbiDg one Jones at the Louisville Depot,
was again brought before his Honor yes
terday, and upon full examination of the
case, Scott was honorably discharged, there
being no evidence against him, worthy of
consideration.
Another case came before Squire Cssetty,
yesterday, entitled the State VS.. 10 Warren
and Emma Blood for notorious lewdness.
They are colored people, and their case
had the effect to fill the court room with
the colored population. 1t appears that
Warren had left his wife some months
since, and ken up with Miss Blood, since
which time they have been living in open
and notorious lewdness. The two were
arrested Or this charge, for which they
will have further hearing this morning.
Warren was also arrested at the instance
of his wife, on a peace warrant; she as
serts that, not satisfied with abandoning
her and leaving her to shift for herself, he
comes to her domicile periodically and
nearly beats the life out of her, etc. For
which amusement she desires that he shall
be bound over for his conduct in future
This case will also be continued this morn
ing.

Protestant Orphan Asylum

The management of this institution is to
be peculiarly commended, AS we learn
the object of the managers is to provide
homes for all destitute orphans-not so
much by keeping them aggregated in the
institution as by finding homes in good
families-this is not only the cheapest but
the best mode of caring for them. A num-
Der of helpless and afflicted children cannot
be SO disposed of, and an economical use
of funds is made in keeping them in the
institution. The pastors of several of our
city churches are now delivering lectures
for the benefit of this noble charity. All
our citizens should feel a deep interest in
the institution.
