LITTA.

InlS morning AT Jn6 Dox OInCo OF the Ine8~
trs, will be sold the tickets fol the Litta con-
cert. The Cleveland Herald says of Litta's
voice: Retaining all its agility and liquid flu
ency, her voice has broadened, expanded and
deepened and her singing has shown propri-
tional growth in warmth, passion and sympa-
thy. Associated with M lie Litta is compa-
ny of varying merit. Mr.. Blumemberg, the
violoncellist,ss one of the best players thvt has
ever appeared here. Signor Baldanzs, the
tenor. is a singer of unequal powers. His
voice, robust tenor, has fine ringing notes in
the register. Mr.. Bereghy, the basso, display
ed good voice and created favorable i'm
preston. The contrato, Miss Annie Beere
has voice of highly sympathetic nature, and
who filled the dual post of pianist and accom-
PIANIST, plays with taste and discrimination"
DUPREz & BENEDICT.
This favorite minstrel organization will ap-
pear at City Hal Friday evening, and the se-
sured seats will be ready at Stockbridge's to-
day. The Manchester Union says: "a large
audience welcomed the Duprez & Benedict
Minstrels last evening. The entertainment
was an enjoyable one and was we'll received
full of variety, and was carried through with
commendable promptness. The singing by
both soleists and chorus was excellent, many
of the songs were new, the jokes fresh, and the
costumes were novel, bright and taking. Tom
Warfield and Archie White were alike good
as end-men, and amusing as character negroes.
The burlesque opera Sarah Burnt Heart" was
we'll done and amusing, and there were lots of
fun in the farce of The Polar Bears" The
specialities in the way of wholesale banjo play
ing and songs and dance men gave much salts
faction. The company ia large, rich in resour-
ces, and with excellent vocalisms and taking
specialites, is deserved candidate for the
public favor
