 MISS MINNIE PALMER's RETURN.
 After some seasons absence an especial fa- vorite in this city, Miss Minnie Palmer, returns to our stage and will appear at the New Ha- ven Opera House tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening. The play to be given is "My Brothers Sister," by Leonard Grover, Esq, production which seems to have been found an especially pleasant vehicle for Miss Palmer's varied and many accomplishments, and which, moreover, has distinguishing merit in having clean, bright and we'll told story to develop it's plot. Miss Palmer ap- pears both as 0 boy and 8 girl and there is plenty of singing and dancing in the piece. Reports are all good of "My Brothers Sister" and evidently this most versatile of all the young comediennes upon our stage has found piece directly and fully fitted to her ability, The company is also warmly praised for it's work in the presentation.
