sold for the masquerade ball to be given
at this hall next Friday night. Merry
masquers will come from Bellaire,
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry. Cock.
agnes celebrated band has been engaged

EMMA ABBOTT.
On Thursday night the wonderfully
gifted little songstress whose name heads
these lines, will appear to the people of
Wheeling, at the Opera House, with
brilliant and well chosen troupe.
We would heartily advise the public
to give Miss Abbott the warm support
which she so well deserves. She is
bright, charming daughter of our land,
having been born in Chicago, and it
would be q blot upon the gallantry OF
American gentlemen and lack OF ap.
probation of their own sister on the mart
of American ladies il they should fail to
show their sympathy and not pstronize
her.
Miss Abbott had hard lot in the ear
lier years of her life, and only her own
indemitable pluck and love OF her
parents and her art have lifted her int
the position where she now stands-with-
out q superior on our operate stages and
with few peers. He: pure, clear soprano
voice-which Madame La Grange
once said was like that OF
Jenny Lind-has been carefully and
laborious.y trained, under the best native
and foreign masters, and to-day she
stands "queen of song of whom her
native land may well be proud, and
pours forth her limpid, silyery flood of
music, with the charming grace OF Patti,
the purity of Nilsson and sweetness
and pathos that is peculiarly her own.
Mr.. Stanley, the famous English
tenor, ably supports the primG donna,
while Ferrsnti, the buBo singer, is with
out doubt, one of the best IN the world.
Mr.. Arbuckle, the famous cornet play
er, formerly of Gilmore's band, is also
with this troupe.
SWEDISH QUARTET.
The Swedish Lady Quartet, who closed
two nights engagement at the Opers
House, Saturday evening, in their voices
were we'll matched, and managed with
delicacv and skill. With them there is
no uncertainty as to pitch or hesitsncy,
| but the pieces they sang were pleasing
and we'll composed. Their triumph was
most signal and complete, and the charm
ed audience were reluctant to let them
60 when the hour for parting came.
The Quartet is the pearl of song.
THE MIGHTY DOLLAR.
The Florences will appear at the
Opera House tonight, in the celebrated
society drama of the mighty Dollar"
This play has had great run in all tho
principal cities of the United States, ard
is highly spoken of by the press of the
country. The play is described as being
full full of wit, hnmor and psthos. Re.
served seats are being sold rapidly, and
from all appearances a large audience
will greet the FIorences tonight.
GRAND CHARITY BALL.

of the Arlington Stove Works, North
Wheeling, will give grand charity ball
at the new wareroom OF those works at
No. 335, Main street. The proceeds OF
Home, and all who do or do not wish to

BILE citizens will make the ball the fnsn-
cial success Of the season.
