AnYAN FonK-LoRE.-The first of the four

ARYAN FoLK-LoRE. The first of the four
lectures to be given in this city by John Fiske
will be delivered at the NJ L. A. hall to-mor-
row evening. There should be no need to be-
speak for Mr.. Fiske large audience. His
reputation as an original thinker and investi-
gator, the charm which attaches to all his ut
teranees, and the interest of his subject should
attract many hearers The subject-matter of
the discourses, the origin of the fables and
nursery legends of our race, is entertaining not
to the student alone, but to the general auditor
as WELL Tickets for the course, which have
been placed at very reasonable rate, can be
secured at Loring, Short & Harmon's, Dresser
& McLellan's, Greenleafs apothecary store,
and at the door of the hall on the evenings of
the lectures

CAzENEUvE.-There is already great inter
est manifested to see Commander Cazeneuve,
at his appearance in this city this week. He is
very highly spoken of wherever he has ap-
peared. A Boston paper speaks of him in the
following flattering terms:
The Commandvur Cazeneuve, most popular
of necromancers, gave two exhibitions at Bee
thoven Hall yesterday. In the afternoon
pleasant entertainment was given to large
audience, made up chiefly of ladies and chill
dren. In the evening the wonderful magician
dispensed with interpreter and complicated APP
paratus, and gave novel and effective exhibit
ton of his powers. The rapid French in which
lie Commandeur spoke was sufficiently inter
preted by gesture and action, and no one in the
audience need have failed to see the point in
every trick. The repertoire of the wonder
worker had, apparently, been carefully looked
over, and q collection of the most pleasing
tricks made. The public interest in
these exhibitions constantly increases. The
wonderful Indian mail trunk trick, the almost
equally ipexplicable umbrella trick, and several
other feats of leserdemain, exhaust the posi-
bilities of a conjecture. They are certainly
more marvellous than any OF the so-called Spir-
itualistic exhibitions; but the Commander
entirely uisclaims any mediumistic powers, or
any aid from Inhabitants of the other world,
who seek to relieve their ennui by perplexiDg
people on this mundane sphere

operators in the late Exhibition and Con-
cert for their kind assistance, as also to
all who favored the performance by their
presence or by buying ticket. May
God reward them-the clear proceeds are
a little over $500 and the citizens will soon
have the pleasure OF seeing the Church
in new shining dress, telling the behold.
er their regard for God and their tasteful
feelings in regard to the appearance of
public buildings. The success has en-
couraged us to give once more a like or
yet better entertainment on the first of
May for the purpose of raising means to

cessitated by the sale of the old one.

MAKE A START. - Everybody will
agree with us the dilapidated rookeries
now used as school houses are disgrace
to any place of the size and beauty of
Weaverville. Everybody will agree that
we must have new school houses before
long. Such being the case it follows that
some movement should be set ON foot to
build them. An amateur dramatic troupe,
which would give entertainments, say
once a month, could probably clear
enough in the course Of Il year to make
the starter for building which our peo-
pie could look upon with pride. There
have been three entertainments given for
II public purpose here and the receipts at
each Of the three show commeudable
