It rained Last evening.
Not that there Ia any danger OF the fact
being overlooked; the veracious Chronicler
records 1t for future reference.
1t rained hard.
This fact is also doubtless known 10 many
observing readerS already but Stands; In or.
der that persons who desire to keep record
OF meteorological phenomena may cut 1t
out and paste 1t In their hats.
The rain commenced in slight driZz.e In
the middle OF the afternoon, which increased
slowly but without intermission all evening,
and at midnight it was still raining hard
and steadily, The CUTTERS were oveiilowed,
the snow on the sidewalk turned into slush
three inches deep, and locomotion rendered
unpleasant as we'll rs dangerous.
The storm had the effect Of throwing 9
damper over everything. PunG on the word
DAMP with the final letter slurred, were

icy movements we're merely concealed by the

The Abbott Company with Miss Abbott
Lett out.

Last evening a surprisingly large audi.
ence for such a night gathered in the Opera
House to hear the brilliant music OF Bell.
ini's ola Sonnambula" A disappoiut.
ment awaited them. Miss Abbott was too
unwell to appear. This announcement
chilled the audience, and it did not recover.
The music was fairly rendered. in some re.
spects and weakly in others. The inspiration
OF appreciation was wanting, and the effect
on the company was visible. In the diff
cult position OF u substitute Nine. Rosewald
sang the intricate score Of Amina in a
manner that reflected great credit upon her
natural powers and her thorough training.
The other characters were in the main
satisfactorily taken, and the chorus was
excellent. Mr.. Halls interpolated efforts
at wit were in bad taste, and fell fiat.
The only time during the evening that
any enthusiasm was manifested was when
Miss Abbott appeared and sang "Oid
Folks at Home" as only she can sing it.
