Entertainments.

The renowned roller skater. Prof. Livsey,
appears in Hallowcll this evening.
The Togus Band will give a concert at the
Unitarian church Thursday evening at us
o'clock. Gen. Stephenson Wills commence
his lecture at o'clock.
Miss Margaret Mather, who played a very
successful engagement in Philadelphia last
week, appears in Albany this week. She will
make her appearance at the Boston Theatre
next Monday night as Juliet.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t seems to me that the cit
liens of Augusta are fortunate in having an
opportunity to hear Gen. Stephenson's lee
lures on prominent historic scenes in the late
war and that they will be unfortunate if they
fail to improve it. In my judgment an en-
tertainment more instructive and interesting
has not been presented in this city for many
wears The General was himself among the
first mustered into the service at the begin
ming of the war, was engaged in nearly every
battle fought by the Army of the Potomac,
was severely wounded at Gettysburg and
Petersburg, and made Brig. Gen. for "brav-
cry and merritorious service in the campaigns
against Richmond" He therefore describes
which he was" The lectures themselves, in
a literary and rhetorical point of view, are
of high order. The descriptions are cor
rect in statement and extremely graphic in
style. The pictures thrown upon the screen
are beautiful in themselves and highly illus
trative of the thrilling events narrated. The
lectures have been delivered to some of
the largest and most appreciative audiences
in New England and all of the prominent
journals and public men of Boston and vicin-
ity unite in pronouncing the lectures eloquent
and entertaining. and valuable contribution
to our knowledge of the great war The
general has some independent views in rela-
ton to the merits of prominent Union leaders,
that may not be in entire accord with those
of the majority, but they cannot fail to inter
est all who wish, without prejudice, to do
Justice to the character of all brave and pa
triotic men, We still study and follow with
breathless interest, the movements of the
heroes on the plains of Marathon. the field OF
Waterloo, and other ''great battles of his
tory" But the young people of to-day can
obtain from such lectures and illustrations as
those of Gen. Stephenson, more VIVID and
lasting impre ssions of heroism and self-sacri-
fee on the part of those soon TO be styled
the generations gone before" than would
be afforded by the frequent perusals of many
volumes of history. These stories of patriot
ism cannot be too often told; and the music
of the Togus Band will be fitting and
suggestive introduction.

The Mutual Life OF View York.

The annual statements of none of the great
financial institutions ofthe country are looked

Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York. 1t has an army of policy holders, and
its operations. are on so grand scale that its
influence is felt throughout every State and

exceed in magnitude those of any other life

are constantly becoming larger. When the
limit will be reached no one can say, but
seemingly not while the same intelligence in

lied the Company since its foundation. The
