CHURCH FEsTIvALs.-The fair of the ladies
of Plymouth society in Mechanics hall con-
tinued most successfully during the day aud
evening yesterday. The turkey dinner at noon
met with good patronage, and during the eve
ming the hall was completely filled with mem
bers and friends of the society. During the
carly part of the evening, before the throng be
came so great as to render it impracticable, Mrs
Louise Woodwork Foss of Boston appeared
upon the platform and gave some select readings,
greatly 10 the enjoyment of her auditors, by
wlcm she was warmly applauded. The
beautiful fernery, made by Rev. George W.
Phillips, VIII CHI has attracted so much attention,
was sold by auction to Mr.. IL. w. Bigelow for
$50. The old three-penny piece, dated 1862,
which was found while eXcavating for tn e
foundations of the new church building, was
bought by Mr.. c. B. Metcalf for eight dollars
The fair closed at about eleven O'Clock with the
customary auction sale of unsold articles.
The annual fair of the ladies of the Trinity
church and society began last evening with fat
terng prospects of success. The large yestry
of the church was lined on either side with
tables bearing the usual assortment of fancy
articles and Christmas gifts, tastelully arranged
to appeal to the aesthetic tastes of the buyer. A
sem-circuar flower table loaded with beautiful
specimens of dollhouse plants, moss and ferns,
surrounded the platform, and in the class rooms,
opening into the main room, were supper tables
sumptuously spread, and well attended. novel

SUPERIOR COURT - CIVIL TERM-DEwEY,
J-TueSday, Dec. 17.-The case Of b. H. Peabody
5. Augustus Rice and another, was resumed at
the opening of the morning session, and occu-
pied the time of the court until adjournment.
During the day the defendants introduced
large number of witnesses for the purpose of
showing that plaintiff had, by taking portion
OF his room to accommodate the portable en-
gine, reduced their accommodations and put
them to great deal Of inconvenience.
Cases next in order Nos 1888, 84l, 1t5, 354,

are set for Wednesdays session and the re-
mainder for Thursday, with such of the other
eases as are not concluded Wednesday.
THEATRIcAL.-Thatt the theatre going portion
of the Worcester public know a good thing
when they see it, and will patronze it accord
ingly, was evident by the immense audience
present at the second performance of Black
Crook last evening. The enterprise exhibited
by the management in bringing new scenery to
replace the familiar, faded and worn out fats
of Music hall would be of itself sufficient to
attract large audiences even if used to set off
the dullest plot But the Black Crook is lively
throughout, and cXcites the interest and'wonder
of the audience from the rising of the curtain
disclosing a valley at the foot Of the Hartz
mountains, TO the grand transformation scene
at the close The various speciality performers
are very entertaining and all meet with favor.
The company is already assured of full houses
for the remaining two nights OF their engage.

LYcEuM AND NATURAL HISTORY AssoctA-
TIoN.-At the adjourned meeting of this society
held at their rooms last evening, B. W. Potter,
Esq, delivered a most interesting and entertain
ing paper upon the prehistoric civilization of
America. He spoke Of traces found of an
ancient people who inhabited Europe, but con-
fined himself chiefly to the discoveries made in
our own country, which prove the existence of
Il wild, ignorant and barbarous race, without
religion, which numerously inhabited the
region from the isthmus ofPanama to the great
lakes. He also spoke of the mound builders
who lived in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys,
where they have left monuments, and mounds
of peculiar and systematic form, containing
relics of their workmanship, which
prove them far in advance of
the Indians in their civilization He gave
a fine description OF the remains of the ancient
city of Copan, in South America, which con-
tanned splendid temples and residences of
great and unknown people, speaking particular
ly Of the ruins Of a temple, now called the cir
sus of Copan, which strangely resembles the col
osseum of Rome, and the moulding remains of
ground or oyergrown by the luxurious growth
Of tropical vegetation. The largest building
of prehistoric man is found in the remains of
the city OF Palenque, Mexico, and is called "the
palace" 1t was made of hewn stone, with
carved figures and towers, equal in workman
ship to those found in palaces of Egypt,
and contained tablets, upon which were charac-
ters supposed to be the written law Of its people
He spoke at length of the many theories regard
iug the origin of these ancient races, and said
that their monuments are considered to date
back as far as the lake dwellings, of Switzerland,
or the shell mounds of Denmark. The antiqui
ties of the ancient PeruYlans were illustrated by
descriptions of their great acqueducts, broad
paved roads and immense walls which extend
for miles over the country, also the interesting
remains of cities in Mexico. AT the close of his
reading the thanks of the society were rendered
Mr.. Potter for his interesting paper.

FEED THE SPARRows-Those little birds
that have SO persstingy twltercd about the
city hall in spite of the cold weather, are Eng
fish sparrows, whose value in the spring of the
gear as cankcr worm destroyCrs is well known
Two years ago four of these yenturesome little
fellows took up their home on one Of the trees
on the common, and SO rapid has been their in-
crease that at present there are nearly hundred
of them who nightly seek shelter under the
caves of one Of the buildings on Front street.
During tine past week one Or two of them have
been found dead, evidently from starvation; and
if these valuable birds are to be kept in exist
ence, it is necessary that they should be fed. A
few crumbs or handful of grain thrown on to
Uncommon will keep these little fellows alive
until spring, when they will be able TO provide
for themselves, and prove public benefit by
destroying the pests that arc the cause of SO
much damage to the trees and crops.

Conservatory of Music, which was only formed
about month AGO, is making wonderful prog
ress under the skiIlul training of Mr.. Zucht-
mann. The difficulties necessarily attending
upon the formation Of lirst-class orchestra
have been well nigh surmounted by faithful
work on the part of teacher and pupils, and the
success of the scheme seems ensured. The or
chestra, which numbers some twenty pieces,
meet twice a week for rehearsals, and expect to
make their first public appearance at the Peo-
pies club concert in Mechanics hall, December
31st. Among the pieces TO be performed on the
occasion is a waltz composed especially for them
by Mr.. Zuchtmann.
