Thanksgiving day in this city was appropriately brought to a close by the delightful and lovely entertain- ment given by the pupils of Annun- eiatiun Academy at the Opero-house last night, for the benefit of St. Joshep's Catholic Church, and 1t was extremely gratifying to observe that nearly every chair In the house was occupied,
 The curtains rose on q group of as sweet little girls as can be found in this broad land of ours. The enter tainment consisted of tue most beautiful tableaus, singing, march ing, fairy and Ginsy scenes, and from the correct manner in which the host of little ones sang, marched and enacted their parts show that they had been well drilled by careful and competent teachers.
 The scenery was arranged in q lovely manner, and baskets 0i flowers hanging over the stage ad- ded in no small degree to the bcauti- ful effect. The GRAPHIC compliments the young people on the success of their performance, for by it a very handsome little sum was raised for a good cause, to say nothing of the pleasure they gave their audieuce.
