 HEZEKIAH PERKINS.
 The rain undoubtedly prevented a number
 from attending the performance last evening at the Grand Opera House, given by slavin's comedy company, but as it was, fair-sized ! audience was in attendance. The play, t'Heze- kiah Perkins, :" is one that portrays the mis- haps and establishments of a genuine coun- tryman who visits the metropolis, and does | not require the best of acting to keep the company in an amused condition. plot adds interest to the play, and, together with 5 the old-fashioned quilting party and pillow ! dance, afforded an entertainment which the ' audience seemed to enjoy. Tonight and to-  be repeated.

 LADY MAGICIAN.
 special engagement of Miss Kingsland, | the only lady magician, is announced for the ! New Haven Opera House under the manage
 ment of the favorite New Haven manager, MT. George H. Coe, for one week, con- mencing Monday evening, September 18th. The British Review says of this wonderful magician:
 Miss Klngsland is certainly remarkable lady, and her tricks in legerdemain bafffed the audience completely. She also gave a num- Der of recitations in clear, distinct and highly dramatic manner, noticeable among them being ''Curfew Must Not Ring To, night, !" and sSThe Maniac" The latter piece was given in costume, when were presented
 the gloomy prison and the clanking of
 chains, and as she portrayed the agonies of mother who had been placed there against
 her wishes and in defiance of law and right
 as she alluded in sympathetic and pleading
 terms for the child from which she had been
 ruthlessly taken; as she implored the keeper
 to set her free and declared to him her san
 ity, feeling of awe seemed to pervade those
 present, and all agreed that the maniac was
 more ''sinned against than shining" It was
 a supurb, finished piece of acting and such
 eeat was it to hear her recite, that many re-
 >etted when the performance was brought
 to close. Miss Kingsland's t'second sight,
 performance also created considerable sur
 prise, and afforded no little amusement. It
 Is surprising that one lady can do all she did
 on one evening. and yet hold the closest at
 tention of an audience. She has remarka-
 ply sweet and flexible voice, knows how to
 use it to advantage, and an exceedingly pleas
 ing physique.
