The chorus was large and efficient The performance as a whole was very interesting and enjoyable. The company will give ''Patience'' again this evening, and 'Billee Taylor" to morrow afternoon and evening"
 THE FIELDINGg.
 There was small audience at Peck's Grand Opera House last evening. The Fiedings gave their new comedietta entitled s'Josh Beck D It is quite funny and rep- resents one of our country cousins first ex- perience with telephone. The best feature of the variety performance was the excellent dancing by Miss Madge Aiston. The enter tainment closed with wonderful exhibition of mesmerism by Prof Kennedy Several subjects were taken indiscriminately from the audience and placed under mesmeric control by the professor and made to per form many queer and amusing antics Pro- lessor Kennedy has made great reputation for himself by his exhibitions through out the country, and those who were present at the entertainment last evening if ever, comes under the observation of theater goers. They came away impressed, as other audiences have Eeen before them with the conviction that Prof Kennedy is unequalled in his special line of business The same entertainment will be repeated this evening, and deserves a larger audience than greeted 1t on it's opening night.
