Mozart Hall Last Night.

The programme at the Mozart last night
was very attractive and was highly enjoy
ed by the large audience. Miss Eolne
Sheffield, OF Farmyille, who has for the
past year been studying music in Boston,
was the vocalist OF the evening. Her first
selection. "Alla Stella Contidente," with
violin obligato by Mr.. Kessnich,) was hand
somely rendered and was heartily encOred.
In her second solo, Punchenelo," Mol
low Miss Sheffield aroused her audience to
enthusiasm, and was forced TO respond to
a double encore, which she very gracefully
did with two very bright and beautiful
ballads.
Miss Sheffield is talented young lady,
and possesses a full, rich, contralto voice
and displays fine training.
The violincelo solo, " Souvenir de Puri-
tani," Piatti.) by Mr.. Thilow, was capital
" rendered and bounteously applauded.
The string quartette, I'D Minor" (Schu-
bert,) by Messrs. Thilow, Kessnich. Base
Ter. and John Reinhardt, is an exquisite
composition, and was rendered in truly
classic style, and was one OF the most en-
joyable numbers Of the programme.

Rcsicnation OF Colonel TaIcott.

Colouel L. VI. IL. Talcott. general man.
ager OF the Richmond and Danvile rail-
road, on the first OF the month rendered to
the Board OF Directors his resignation OF
the position which he has long filed with
satisfaction to the people OF this city and
State and credit to himself.
II is expected that the Board OF Direct
ors, most OF whose meetings are held in
New York. will accept the resignation. and
devolye his duties upon existing officers.
With his excellent training and long eX-
perience. clear head, and capacity for hard
work, it is scarcely possible that Colonel
Talcott will go long without an advan-
tageous offer from some railroad, and
should he conclude to reenter this busi-
ness, will prove to be valuable accession
TO the company so fortunate as to secure
his services.
Here, where nearly his whole life has
been spent, there is scarcely 4 railroad or
businessman or other citizen who is not
his friend and admirer, and who does not
heartily say, "Good luck to you, Colonel"

Julius Cesar.

The interest in Mr.. Warde's PERFORM
ances at the Richmond Theatre deepens
daily, fact shown in the increased attend
ance last night, when he appeared as Mark
Anthony in the siX-act tragedy Of Julius
Caesar. The audience felt the force OF
power presented in his fine acting, and
when the curtain fell at the close Of the
third act, so profoundly plain was the ap-
plause that Mr.. Warde had to come before
the curtain twice before the admiration OF
the crowd could be appeased.
Mr.. Malone as Caius Cassius. Mr.. Stur-
geon rs julius Cesar, Mr.. Rand rs Brutus,
Mr.. Curran as Casca, won close attention
and received merited praise. The support
was as excellent in this a. in the other plays
presented by this company, than which a
better has not trod our stage for many
days.
Tonight a crowded house will witness
Brutus. or the Fall Of Tarquin, and the
adaptation OF Shakespeare's Tanning Of the
Shrew. 1t will be a rare opportunity OF
endowment.
