Edward Eggleston's Lecture.
One of the best audiences OF the season assem-
bled last evening to hear this well-knoWn writer
whole "Circuit Rider and "HOosier Schoolmas-
ter" have made him famous. He is q very pecu-
liar speaker, but has 4 magnetism about him
which holds his audience SPELL bound. His lecture
was upon the subject, paradise OF Childhood"
and strain or pure humor, intermlngling with
his sound doctrine in regard to the early educa-
tion, made the discourse Intensely interesting,
Just preceding the lecture Prof J. W. Bischof
gave the audience fine impromptu voluntary,
and the encore which he received fully attested
his popularity in this quarter. He is q genial and
true gentleman, and has many warm friends here.
He Is to take prominent part in the concert next
Wednesday.
MeMOElaI GnuTcn LECTURES.
The second lecture Of the course on natural
history by DIR. J. G. Morris, of Pennsylvania Col
lege, will take place tomorrow friday evening.
The subject will be The Microscope and its Dis
coyeTies," and, judging from the satisfaction
manifested at the previous lecture and the Doc
tors hiP reputation as an authority in science,
we predict another crowded house. This course
is an exceedingly valuable one, and as 1t is by one
whom Prof. Henry has called the Humboldt OF
America, It cannot fail in engaging the attention
OF our best leeture-gOers.

dramatic company, will appear at the National

dents and sparkling dialogue, and ts one OF Miss
Putnam's most popular Representations.

served seats, for which there is no extra charge,

is to be celebrated. The occasion is one OF much
prominence, and IL will be made very interesting
as well. Seats should be secured, as the hall viii
doubtless be crowded.
The Avenue Theatre.
The company at the Avenue theatre having
been completely filled up, appeared to excellent
advantage last night. The programme was
frst-elass one, and the audience most respectable
and orderly. The transformation worked IN that
establishment by the new management Is really
wonderful.
