Pliers OPERA HoUsE.-Our thea
ter.goers were favored with a very en-
joyable entertainment ut the Opera
House last hight. The opening piece.
"Unclc Dicks Darling" was splen-
didly enacted. Mr.. Raymond. In the
character OF Uncle Dick. created an
immense amount Of merrimcnt. Miss
Gordon enacted the character Of Mary
Bolton very pleasingly, and to the en-
tire satisfaction OF the audience. Mr.
Billings personatcd Mr.. Chevenix In
his usual happy manner. Miss Belle
Douglas rendered the character OF
Mrs. Torrlngton very effectively. The
performance concluded with the mirtli-
provoking farce entitled the "Spectrc
bridegroom" which fairly brought
down the house. The rislbilitlcs OF
the audience were kept constantly eS-
ercised from the commencement OF the
enactment Of the play until its conclu-
sion. Mr.. Rsymond's Diggory was
one Of his finest efforts, and kept the
house In 4 continual uproar OF laugh
ter. Mr.. Marden acquitted himself
admirably In Nlcodemus, the ghost.
The expression Of fright on the coun-
tenances OF the rest OF the performers
every time tho ghost-like clergyman
stalked across tho stage, was ludicrous
In the extreme. Lavinia. rs person.
ated by Mis-. Florence Kent, was tho
only courageous u In the party, anu
gave a final proof OF her valor by
agreeing TO marry the ghost. The
farce itself was tho best which has been
produced ut the Opera House during
the present season.. Our American
Cousin Ia announced for tonight on
the occasion Of Mr.. Raymond's benefit.
The performance will conclude with u
"Conjuyal Lesson" The bill ia
very attractive one and, without doubt,
the famous humorist will be greeted
with n crowded house.
