BUCK LEY's SERENADERs.-T The entertain
ment at Music Hall last night seemed like the
best days of Corkiana; like the time when
Christy bore sway in New York. and Morris
Brothers in their best estate in Boston, where
the best music could always be heard, and the
choicest dancing, farce and comedy were afford
cd by the negro MINISTRIES; when it was quite
the style to visit them, and their exhibitions
were not tinged with the vulgarity which has
of late been too prevalent IN them.
In the opening part, consisting of the stand
ard altevnations of songs and conversation with
the end m en-, tine performances were first-class.
The songs were heartily applauded, particu-
larly those of Buckley himself, who is thor
ouab artist sort of genius in Negro Minstrel
sv-with an infinite versatility of fun, always
irresistible. The jokes were commercially
free from the lowness of style, and the double
entendres which mar the efforts OF the average
end man.
The dancing in the second part was capital,
the music by the orches ra excellent, and the
burlesque opera immensely ludicrous, consta Mt
Iy convusing the audience. In this, the guard.
very slim youth, of great agility specially
distinguished himself. The audience was large

carnival of merrment to the utmost, 1t is very
agreeable to be able to commend an entertain

perfect confidence be pronounced frst-class in
every respect-such that one can safely attend
without fear of an affront to propriety The
troupe proposes to exhibit again tonight with
change of programme, which Will give those
who were not present last night, an opportuni-
ty for hearty laugh at genuine fun
ENTERTAINMENTs.-T coming winter gives
promise of an unusually brilliant lecture sea-
son. The Portland Army and Navy Union
have arranged for a programme that for at
tractiveness has never been surpassed in this
city. Among the speakers engaged may be
mentioned Hon. Daniel Dougherty of Pennsyl-
vania, Hon Wendell Phillips of Massachusetts
and Professor Edward Morse of Salem. So far
as the musical concerts are concerned, no pains
or expense have been spared to render them
,,erfect The Theodore Thomas troupe have
.been engaged and the Union expect to be able

for this portion of their entertainments. For
their vocal concerts they promise programme
