lv, evening in st. Stephens Hall, corner OF
.noleou avenue and Chestnut street. The
ar ia for the benefit of st. Stephens new
urch, the walls of which are now thirty feet
oh. nearly half their intended height. That
Ia church promises to be . beautiful one we
II not cay, but leave it to each one to judge
himself when he sees the nicely executed
painting of it exhibited at No. IS Canal
'kees, at Lilieuthals jewelry store. TINS
hitting, made at Lilienthaps gallery 0y n's
list, Mr.. Tensfeld, will be ono OF the prizes
the Fair. We have no doubt but thas' -
brk of art, it we'll deserves the attention OF
ateurs. One other very attractive object IN
!. Fair, for the many friends OF the iate
ather Duncan, will be q representation OF him
an oil painting. Many have already ex-
essed the desire Of securing it for themselves
trusting to chance in the rafting OF It.
q GOOD ladies Of the fair have exerted them
YES in making every necessary preparation
satisfy visitors. A visit to the Fair will be
an additional pleasure to an evening trip
the Baronne and st. Charles street cars, or
those of the Magazine street line.

ke success which attended the previous et-
IT'S of these gentlemen adjusted them to con-
Aue for some nights longer. On Friday ever
>. at the Saturday matinee, and during the
3xt night, the auditory was most pleasantly
tertained by the impersonations, songs
noes and olios Of few of the performers
ho are too modest to be particularized. we
4 glad to chronicle the practical results oo-
lined by the merits of the Belgrave Dramatic
&sociation, and we hope the latter will receive
mporal, as we arc certain they will spiritual
wards, for lending helping hand to educate
orphaned.
Concert of Eugene Prerost.-It is to be regret
a that the commendable actions OF this gen.
Imam and his assistants did not meet with
appreciation they justly deserved. The
zopramme was q most excellent one, consist
tho choicest and sweetest of operatic gems.
Young lady, whose name we do not remem-
=, sang q solo Gin oontralto) which setcriti-
Im at defiance. The upper notes were rem
red with clearness and soua, the low were
Dund, full and expressive, and tie spirit per-
3dng the whole moroeax was most sppropri-
B. The duet, Hear me, Norma" could not
I've been sung better by professionals. An
&reeable variety 90 introduced by q young
ntleman performing ON the violin. He mani
eted the utmost familiarity with tho instru-
ent, and his position was quite artistic. His
&ection of airs was calculated to interest and
B $50 an intelligent auditory. This Concert
ks given for the benefit of the Fair at Odd
Sllows' Hall, for st. Joseph's Asylum, which
me to close last Wednesday night. Though
Ia ladies engaged in this Fair did every thing
i their power to make it q success, we are
rry to have to state that their expectations
ere not realized.
( Fair for the Church of St. Tincect de Paul.
6bnsideripg the dearth of money, and the i'm
&ense drain on purses, Father Feltier has rea-
Aa to congratulate himself upon the success
hich has attended his Fair. The visitors are
z|beral in their patronage, thus showing an
epreciation. of the Rev. gentlemans zeal.
2he pair of magnificent affairs were given to
be fortunate candidates-that of the Blessed
Firgiu to Miss Caroline Vallee, and St. Joseph's
8 Master Morris. The iremen have not mani
&sted their usual enthusiasm with regard to
DE Signal Lamp. We attribute this to the
normous debt due them by the city. Bot
bat should not discourage the brave men OF
ur Fire Department. Enter into the contest
fith spirit. No one expects you to be over
generous little will suffice from you, and a
hundred fold will be given you in return. Thus
pr the curate of St. Peters is greatly ahead
i him of st. Patrick's in the contest for the
@estments. Should the friends of the latter
4esire him to obtain them, they have no time
70 lose in the matter. The captains of the
9arious steamers, who were striving to become
4he possessors of o handsome gold headed
pane were unknown to the public of the Thirt
District, and hence recourse to another plar
Pas necessitated. The cane in question will
Pc rallied at twenty-five cents chance. Fa
her Foltier requests US to state that thu
articles neither ratified nor voted for, will b.
2old at auction. The auction will commence
fhis Sunday evening.
