THE CEMETERY ENTERTAINMENTS be-
gan on Wednesday evening, with tolera-
bic fair house. The enjOyments most
ly were of the astronomical class. and
these very generally INDUCED in Fancy
articles. by the ladies after being displayed
and duly admired, were sold either a:
private sale or auction-Mr. Jas. Prentice
officiating as suctiOneer As the enter
prise was gotten up for helping the
Cemetery Association TO improve their
grounds, all parties and churches entered
into it with earnestness, and the compa-
ny was very agreeable and pleasant
one. The suppers were eaten at SO cents a
head, and the fancy goods were all sold
at fair prices. Interest was excited by
putting up a very handsome gold headed
cane at lottery. The tickets were sold
at 25 cents, and whether the number
was limited, or not, we have not learned.
A very handsome amount, at least, was
raised in this way. The candidates for
its possession, seemed to be only two
Rev. Mr.. MOORE, and our jocOse friend
GEORGE STEVENS. The contest proved
a sharp one, but our reverend friend Car
ried one too many guns for George, and
therefore took the handsome prize.
The second night was different af-
fair, and beside the table enjoyments
presented very attractive programme
of tablaux, which was well and thought
fully COTTON up. The appreciation of
this style Of entertainment was seen in
the full house brought together. The
Opera House was crowded to its utmost.
The number OfpersOns present was 748.
The enthusiasm at times was very great.
Especially was this true of the Art Gale.
~. which could hardly have been improv.

a more correct and detailed idea of this
entertainment the programme is copied
