 MAY PARTY-The party given by Society of M. c. c. Els last night, as all their parties are, was a very pleasant affair, but owing to the prevailing illness, which kept many away. there was not a large attendance. The receipts are reported at $69, which covered expenses and the managers are happy. Th-s association is not intended as money grab ping institution, but is instituted for socia- bility and amusement, and as long as they can make the receipts meet the expenses they consider the financial part of it a suc- cess.
 Judge Silent is expected here, either on tomorrow mornings stage or the next one following it. The first official business for him to attend to will probably be the hold ing of bankruptcy Court, at which the Assignee of the estate of Miller Bros, pro- poses to make complete report of all that has been done by him or his Attorney in the premisss, and to ask that it be approved by the Court. If any one has objections it will be we'll for them to prepare. them and be ready to present them when the Court con- yenes. Of course the exact date cannot be determined until the Judge arrives, but it is the desire of the Assignee that it be at as early date as possible, and that all those having objections to the management, be on hand. in order that it be settled, and his action either approved or condemned. The Csntata O Esther was again rehears- ed ou Tuesday evening, at the Marina street church, but owing to rather light attend ance of the active members of the Philhar- monic Society, the parts were not assigned to the various persons who are to take part |ip the perrormance of the Oratorio. We hear John Lloyd mentioned as the proba- bic Haman, Mr. F. Joyner as Moraecia the Jew. and either Mrs. Parker, Mrs Ken .l dall. or Mrs. Lewis, as Queen Esther. Pro- lessor Neumayer will get a knowledge of the sdaptability of their voices to each par ! ticular character ut the rehearsals, and assign them accordingly at the proper time. Steady improvement on the part of the singers is quite manifest. but it will require considerabie training yet before they are prepared for the acting. which coast tiites large portisa of the entertainment. csrAx RUSxrSe Marshall Dodson was m his way to the ca,abcse with soldier, inst after noon to-day, when his prisoner hrnke awsy from him at the corner of Cor tez and Garley streets; the Marshall threw his heavy hickory cane after him. striking
