The entertainment given at the
st. Joseph's on the evening of the
18th was a decided success. When
we entered early in the evening we
were not prepared to see the rooms so
filed with young and old, apparent
ly enjoying themselves immensely.
The usual buzz and hum were sus-
pended for awhile that the audience
might listen to the entertainment
given by the children under the
guiding hand of Misses MAxoN
and INGLEs. To say that the selec-
tions were good and the music fine,
would be giving but small praise to
so worthy and entertaining portion
of the programme of the evening.
Oysters scolloped and oysters stew
ed, were served in the most approved
style. We must say that soup
was good, and the ladies have reason
to congratulate themselves on the
success of their mite. The receipts
were not near as large as on former
occasions, yet the fair sisters who
had charge of The Cake "a donation
from Mrs. SHEPARD, and candies
realized the net sum of $7.6S, which
was given over to Mr.. SMITHERs, the
treasurer of the benevolent fund.

LIEUTENANT-CoM CUSHING, of
the Navy, and who acquired so much
fame during the war for his feats of he
roism, died in Washington, on the 18th,
in the Insane Asylum, to which he had
been removed about fortnight since.
The deceased, we believe, was nephew
of our late townsman, Col. A. CUSHING.
Sad as was his death, says the Cincin-
natl Times, and short as his life has
been, Che died at thirty-four) his record
will be remembered so long as the Uni
ted States Navy has any existence. "No
man in our Navy" says HEADLEY, in
one of his biographies, sat his age ever
won so brilliant reputation" He
seems to have set no value whatever
upon his own life, holding it simply as
so much capital to be expended in the
cause of his country. There was not d
