 vERNoNA JARBEAU.
 Vernona Jarbeau will appear at the New Haven Opera House this and tomorrow even ing and at tomorrow matinee. The Phila- delphia Enauirer says: Miss Vernona Jar beau in Starlight is an actress of note. She is the personi6cation of motion, ever chang ing, surprising, alluring. The grace Of action is in her modulating voice, in the tossing ot her head in the arching of her neck, in the movement of her limbs, in the pose of her body. in the pucker of her lips, the glance of her eyes, the witchery of her tones, in the archness, friskiness, pertness, the inimitable style of her being. With vocal attainments of no high order, without facial beauty, neither great singer nor handsome wo- man, she yet possesses the chic that would set all Paris wild with delight and that popu- larized her in staid Philadelphia" THE TIGREss.
