 PATIENCE.
 The presentation of Patience" by Cor mans church choir company at Carll's Opera House last evening was witnessed by quite large audience The performance was equal in merit to those by other combinations who have given the opera here this season The part of "Lady Jana'' was ably taken by Miss ,I,o s1 Eo,. 1>a singer who has yet assumed the role The performance was marred by an insufficient orchestra, which we hope will be reinforced by local musicians at the performance this afternoon and evening.
 YALE GLEE CLUB. t...- --.
 Tickets are selling well for the Yale Glee clubs annual winter concert which occurs next Monday evening at Carll's Opera House. As usual, it will be an interesting society event and the programme, it is understood, is specially attractive, made up largely of new pieces, while 'sBohunkus'' and sPeter Gray'' will appear in a new rendering. The new part songs for this year have been re- garded as features of especial interest in the western concerts, particularly Abt's ''Ave Maria, in which the solo by Mir. Williams has been highly spoken of. The Chinese song, by MT. Woodward is very comical.
 DREAMS.
 The New Haven Opera House was filled last evening when Willie Edouin and con- pany appeared in the Imaginable play entitled stDreams, or Fun in a Photograph Gallery" The first part of the play which presents the gathering of children and grandchildren at the home of their aged father, retired country farmer, is very pretty, a vein of sentiment and pathos occasionally showing. besides all the clements required to make it roaring farce. The aged farmer after hearty dinner, at which he imbibes freely, falls asleep and the nightmare which follows con- stitutes the rest of the performance. The versatile company have an opportunity to show their peculiar talents, which are of very clever order, and last evening they were greeted with rousing applause. The fun was so rapidly produced that there was hardly time to catch your breath between the laughs and such continuous roars are rarely heard at any performance. This afternoon and evening the performance will be repeated. MICHAEL ERLE.

 The mere announcement of lecture next | Monday evening at the North church by the | Rev. Dr. T. Dewitt Talmage will undoubt l edly secure 8 crowded house. Those who have listened to this famous and eloquent divine at his own magnificent Tabernacle in | Brooklyn, or elsewhere, can appreciate tho | treat which is in store for them here. Dr. l Talmage is an orator whose magnetic inspira | tion seizes upon his audience from the utter ance of his first sentence, and holds it until 1 the discourse is closed. Were it not so the Brooklyn Tabernacle, which seats five thou. i sand persons, would not witness every Sunday hundreds turning away in disappointment, unable to gain admission. His subject, "Is the World Better or Worse ?" opens. up to the orator field for the display of his finest powers. We predict that his audience will l be held spellbound and that all who do not attend will miss one of the rarest intellectual 1 feasts of their lives. If any additional in- centive were needed to induce attendance it may be found in the purpose of the lecture, l which is to raise funds for the building of a 1 new and beautiful church edifice for the East l church organization. This is most worthy object and richly appeals to the whole com l munity for support.
