TIE entertainment at the Court
House on Wednesday night, was at
tended by quite a large audience.
Professor Zera Semon's performances
are principally sleight-of-hand,or leg
erdemain, and ventriloquism, at both
of which he ispronounced in this city
by those who are the best informed
on those subjects to be equal to
almost any performer in America.
A popular feature of his entertain
ments is the issuing to each purchaser
of admission tickets, two small envel-
opes containing tickets, upon which
few of them have numbers printed,
but the majority are blank. The
holders of numbered tickets are
awarded prizes, consisting Of pair
of vases, a small sack of -four, ham,
or box Of fancy stationery, etc.
The capital prize on Wednesday
night was set of fifty-six pieces of
chinaware, which was drawn by Mr..
