Mr.. HELLER's LAST NIGHTS.

The final opportunities of seeing Mr. Heller,
al the Fifth Avenue Hall, are upon the wing This
admirable magician and accomplished musical artist
Will remain here only till the end Of this week There IS
no need or his own sake, say that M Heller is the
best artist Of the age in his chosen line; but Tor the
sake Of the local public, this just and amply sup
ported Judgment may well be reiterated MI Heller
gives an entertainment most refreshing in novelty
and in brancy. He perfect Illusions, and he
does this with unerring skill and with per
feet grace Moreover he enhances the charm OF his cZ
hibion by a lively play Of fancy 10y droll humor ana
BY the unyarying genueness Of thorough goodbreedDg
and OF a sweet, CHEEKY and charming temperament.
His musical compositions worthy Of a poet and they
are executed by him with skill that many an eminent
pianist but seldom rivals The spirit Of his entertain
ent is pure and wholesome; and II is never common
place The feats Of Second sight, which are accom-
pshed by Miss Heller, IN association with the magician
illustrate either marvellous faculty or marvellous IN
eenuity. in either case they afford great amusement
Mr. Heller will proceed 10 EaClaud al The close OF la
season IN this eIty; aud Il may Dee very long before De
will again visit America.
