kept in roar of laughter throughout
the performance. Another entertain
ment will be given New Years even

In the case of the People VS.. p. c.
Tonner, yesterday, little evidence was

$500, and the trial put for to-day at 2
O'Clock. When the evidence of both
sides is in, the HERALD will give it in
full. Until that time it seems but JUS
tice to a gentleman who has heretofore
borne an excellent character, to let
everything remain unpublished.
