Buckley's Serenadera from New York appeared at the Park Tbealro last evening. The name or this troupe rovives old associations and memories of the early days of minstrelsy; Ihe Buckleys were the rivals of the original Chrlstys, and in their day one of the popular troupes In the country. Two of the Buckleys died, and the oompauy waB disbanded Borne years ago. The organization has been revived with G. Swaino Buckley at i'B head, and with a picked corps of performed, inclnding Payette Welch, Peter Lee, C.

F. Shattuck, 0. W. Rockaleller, 8. S.

Mar pby Cooper and Fields. One of the features of the old Buckley troupe was the bnrlesquo opera, which is revived by the now troupe, who hare Miss Celia Barry for prima donna. They gave a very good minstrel entertainment last evening, concluding tho performance with the burlesque opera of "Lucretia Borgia," In which Miss Barry played the fair poisoner and Mr. Buckley Gcn irro. Tho troupe will perform every evening during tho week, and give a matinee on Satuday afternoon.

Opening of the Olympic Theatre. Variety theatres unknown here ten years ago, have now become an established institution among our places ot amusement. They meet the tastes of a large number of people who are indifferent to dramatic entertainments and do not care to Bit out a long play. The performance iB kelsidoBCopio, changing quickly from one thing to another, giving juat a taste of every form of stage entertainments. Then a person can go in at any time, leave at any time, and not lose the connection ot one part of the entertainment with another.

Such are the entertainments of tho variety thoatre, Brooklyn having every other form ef entertainment had to have a variety theatre, and Mr. Donnelly opened the Olympic two years ago to supply this want. Last night tho house which had been closed for a Summer renovating was opened for the third regular season. The decorations which we bavo described shone more resplendently by gaslight, and the house presented quite a brilliant appearance. It was filled up stairs and down before the rising of the curtain.

The audience was as enthusiastic as it was numerous, and gave a hearty greeting to all the performers. The performance commenced with an overture by the orchestra under the lead of Dr. Knight, formerly of the Park Theatre. A piece called the "Dutch Intelligence Offloe," was then played, Mr. Gus Williams as the Dutchman keeping the audience in a roar of laughter.

Sam Dovore, an old favorite of the house, next appeared with a banjo solo. He is one of the best performers in his line we have heard in a long time, and his songs are new. He waB so highly appreciated by the audience that they encored him three times, and some of the more enthusiastic seemed Inclined to keep him on the stage all night. Every single act after this was also encored, the people on the stage good naturedly responding, willing to give the audienco all they wanted. 11 iss A.

Walby danced a pas seal, then Miss Nora Monrc, the vocalist of tho troupe, sang "Five O'clock in the and being encored gave "Come Buck to Erin." Miss Fauuy Devere danced, and then came a little more burnt cork business, song and dance by Messrs. Collins and Oakes. Anything more lume and flat than this performance can hardly bo imagined. The songs were stupid, the men had no voices, and they danced like a couple of mechanical dolls, each doing precisely as the other did. Yrt this performance was twice encored.

The next Ibing was the appearance of the terpsichoroan star, tho premiere danseuse, MHp. Fagani, who camo bounding on the stage with a dash and vivacity that took the house by storm. She is a finished artist of the Italian school, rapid and brilliant in her execution, combining lightness and graco in her movements. The balance of theprogromme comprised the samo variety of song and daDce, and uegro acts, the performance concluding with an amusing pantomine called Nicodomus," in which Mr. Robert Butler, the well known clown, kept tho audience in a merry msod until the final fall of the curtain.

The Olympic will now be open every night through tho season, and a matinee will be given on Saturday afternoon. Chuech Benefit Concebt. The first of a series of vocal and instrumental concerts given for the benefit of the new German Catholic Church on Duffield sttcct, transpired last night at the Athenenm whore an audience had assembled which though somewhat small numerically was large in appreciation. The artists en pueedfor the occasion were Signora Lami, soprano; SignorB D'Haesloire, baritone, and Boy, teuor; Herr Schleiss, tumbler melodeon, and Signor Ciccone, clarionet, accompanied by the excellent band of the Twenty third Regiment. The programme was well arranged, consisting of selections fiotn operas, and the works of popular composers, and was not too lengthy.

About twenty five musicians had been selected from the Twen tv third Regiment band, making quite a formidable orchestra, which rendered through the evening in a thoroughly enjoyable manner the numbers assigned it, but specially noticeable for concert and evennesB of move ment, were the "Poet and Peasant," and "Jubel" overtures. Signor Conterno was its efficient leader on this occasion. Signora Lami sang an aria from 'Linda," and also in a trio from "Attila" with Signors D'Haesleiro and Boy. Signora Lami was well received. She has a good soprano voice, of indifferent compass, and som3 considerable cultivation it is powerful, and does not lack expression when required upon the whole, thi i iadyis.a valuable acquisition to the concert room.

Signor Boy we have spoken before; suffice it forth: present to say, that his style is greatly improved sine last season his efforts last evening were rewarded with applause. Sig. D'Haesleire, who has attracted some favorable comment heretofore in his connection with the Italian Opera, sang a romauzj from "Maria de Ru denz" in a finished manner. The trio by the three artists above mentioned was admirably rendered, and ell cited hearty applause. Ihe novelties of the occasion were tho introduction by Herr F.

SchleiBS of the tumbler melodeon, and that of Sig. Ciccone of the bass clarionet, perfected by himself. The former consists, apparently, of a collection of glass tumb'ers with stems, perhaps fifty in number, arranged iu a handsome metal case about two feet square, the sides of whiah and the top being unenclosed, ANTED A SITUATION.

FIGHTING THE TIGER. How the Three Card Monte Players Entrap and Fleece the Unsophisticated, TBE C0SEY I8L4HD MPPEBS' LITTLE GAME. The reported death of 'Jimmy Hiokey, the national three card monto man, par excellence, supposed to have been drowned by the Norwalk collision, as fully chronicled in another column, renders the following expoie of the "little game" peculiarly apropos and interesting: Coney Island, as well as all other watering places, either in the rural districts or by the seaside, though particularly the latter, bavo been for many years overrun to a deplorable extent by the unptlnoipled class in the community who support an existence which the rest of the world could do very well without by exercising their wits, often of no contemptible keenness upon their more honest and decent, if more stupid lellow creaturea. Thtce card monte players, thimble riggers, knights of tbe sweat cloth, and in short all others of that ilk, lie in wait for the unsophisticated, whom the "cappers" or confederates induco to try tbe little game, In Bhort, to "fight the tiger," which inevitably means to be thor oughly fleeced, for, should the innocent vlotltn, by any miraculous combination chance to win (the idea of which is absurdly ridiculous), or to attempt to with draw, the tiger will unhesitatingly show its claws, and fastening its fangs upon his throat, take, by physlca force, that which perchance they have failed to aeenre by the most artful and unprincipled cunning. THE MODUS OPEBANDI of the sharpers, generally, compiled as follows, will be read with interest: A visitor, In passing from the steamboat landing to tho most frequented portion of the beach, will Invariably encounter several small groups of men, in the centre of whioh a glib tongued cnt tbroat stands at a little table, npon which are placed three cards.

Two of these are either ordinary playing cards or have plain, engraved pictures on them, while the third, or winning card, is ornamented with a colored picture. If the passer by has the curiosity to watch the game, he finds the eloquent ruffian exhibiting these cards, and informing tho orowd that "This card, you observe, wins; either of the other two loses; now watch closely while I pass them over each other in this manner; now 1 will bet $10 that no one can tell which fg the picture card." Everyone who sees him throw the cards from between his thumbs and fingers and deliberately pass them one over the other two or three times, feels perfectly Bure that he can pick up the winning card and probably the first time he bets he will succeed, for it Is the intention of the player that he should do so, but having won once or twico, the stakes being generally doubled each time, ho suddenly turnB up the wrong card, the sharper having made up his mmd at that particular point that he shall lose. APPABENTLY THE CABDS were thrown down in the same way as before, but of course, two of the three cards are held in one hand and the player very dertly throws off the upper card first, the movement not being noticeable to tho unpracticed eye. This is the ordinary method of the straightforward cheat, but the more enterprising have a "game worth two of that." The looker on while watching the manipulations of tho voluble thief, presently notices a dot on the back of the card with the lucky picture, and stupidly imagines himBelf sharper tlirn the sharper in making thiB diacovery. With his eye on this spot he confidently turns up the right card.

The player, however, has a little stick which he lays across the cards, ostensibly for the purpose of keepiog the wind from blowing them off the board, but rpally for the purpose of covering this spot. The greenhorn is, however, allowed to see it before the stick is put down, and loses none of his confidence. An apparently disinterested bystander presently advises him to desist frcm betting, as he is sure to lose in the end. Thinking bimBelf possessed of a lucky secret, however, he scornfully rejects the advice, and perhaps has some words with the gentleman who has presumed to interfere. By this move his attention is drawn from the cards, and the presiding genius of this plebeian gaming table slyly changes their posiiion.

Excited with his former success, and the little altercation with his pretended well wisher, ho stakes a sum larger than all the former bets together, and loses his money. If sufficiently infatuated, and possessed of the necessary funds, perhaps he repeatB the process, with the same result in the end. THIS DEXTEBOUS DODGE however, by no means exhausts tho resources of this enterprising gentry. A looker on, who has no idea of belling under any temptation, is accosted by a gentlemanly looking person, who calls hiB 1 attention to the spot on the card. Yes, he says, he sees it, it is part of the game.

Well, I don't know," says the stranger eyeing the game with evident interest. Presently he accoBts tho player: I can tell that card every time; I won't bet, but I know I can tell it." Well," rejoins tho proprietor of the table, try it; there's no bet up," and the new comer triumphantly turns the card Sure enough, you're right," exclaims the monte man with well feigned surprise, and shifting the cards again says, "Now, I'll bet ten dollars yon don't tell it." "Ob, I wont bet," says the scru pulous stranger, "but I can tell the card. Now, look her, there's a little spot on that card don't you see, anybody can tell that." So there is, says the sharper, affecting to scratch it off with his nail, but leaving it as plain as before. "Now," ha adds, passing the cards again, I'll bet tea dpllare quietly lays down the stick bo as to cover the Bpot. Of course lean tell it," re peats the stranger, with a sort orcontempt.

I won't bet with you, but if any one else wants to bet, I'll put up my money. You needn't think nobody's got any money but yourself." And here he jerks out a roll of bills. Meantime the player shifts the cards in the sight of the bystanders, the eager gentleman ap parently not noticing it. The quiet gentleman first accosted tells him that he will lose if he bets. "Never mind I'll bet yon fifty dollars, come, that that is the card," pointing to the one in the place where the winning card originally lay.

The quiet individual re fuses to bet, but says that he knows that he is wrong, and would lose his money. Well, iff lose, all right; 1 ve got more money. You are welcome to it if yon win." But," whispers another bystander, youare sure to win." THE ACTUAL POSITION. The player lifts the stick, showing the actual posi tion of the cards, and winkB to the quiet gentleman, who now hesitates. The better grows more confident and eager the now adviser, on the other side, he.

comes urgent, sayiDg that he would bet if he had the money. The player offers his money to the hesltat ing victim, but the first stranger indignantly refuses to bet against him or his money, and taunts the other with having an opinion, but no courage, or no money to back it. Finally he exclaims, I'll bet $50 against your watch that that is the card," pointing again at the'wrong one. "Well," bursts out the persecuted gentleman, who has several times begun to back oat of tho crowd, "if you are so anxious to lo3e your money I'll put up my watch," and np it goes. The stick ib removed that card has no spot on it, and he turns it, but to his consternation finds that it has the colored picture.

The cards hava been changed again, and he has been gulled by cheats, whom he despised as Buoh from the start, It occurs to him for the first time that both of the supposed strangers who have been urg ing him on are accomplices of the evil genius who ma nipulates the cards. As the victim is walking away, per chance "a sadder and a wiser man," he is accosted by the well dressed individual who has won his watch, and asked if he does not wish to redeem it. He is not pro pared to do bo then, bnt would be glad to do it another day, and the stranger tells him when he can do it. And so the game is played, time after time, being va ried to suit all circumstances, and yet the credulous bite the bait and swallow it whole. Truly "the fools are not all dead yet." THE HOB WALK COLLISION.

KepTory of tbe Body of a. apposed Passenger A notorious Three Uard Mo life man Missing, As briefly chronicled in the last issue of the Eagle, the body of a man supposed to have been diowncd from the Coney Island steamer Norwalk at the time of her disastrous collision with the schooner Lady Helen, on Friday evening, was recovered at the foot of Forty fourth street, Gowanus, and transferred by the police of the Eighth Precinct to the keeping of tho Coroner. On the person was found one gold watch and chain, American make, $332 iu bills, one diamond breastpin, three finger rings, two pearl studs, one opera glass, two sleeve buttons with tho letter 'P" on them. The letters T. E.

were found on his shirt collar. The body Is supposed to be that of Mr, Thomas Priddy, of No. 32 Wytho avonue, who had been missing from Ms home since Wednesday. Coroner Jonos will hold an inquest. ANOTHER MISSING MAN.

It is asserted that Jimmy Hiokey, reputed to be the most notorious three card monte player in New York was seen to miss his footing and fall ovorboard in attempting to jump from the steamer to the schooner, and, that nothing having Bince been heard from him, his companions, who had hoped that he had reached a place of safety, gave up all hopes yesterday of ever again meeting their late pal alive. Hiokey was a remarkable individual, and, according to the statements of his late companions, was noted for benevolent bestowal of bis ill gotten gain. He was a native of Manchester, England, and said to have been a bou of an efficient Sergeant of Police in that city. He was excessively extravagant and is said to have used a hundrod dollar bill for a segar light on one occasion. He was well read, and fluent and persuasive in conversation, but had a battered and unsightly nose, which gave his face snch a sinister expression that he used frequently to remark.

"If it were not for this villalnouB countenance, should make the most BuecosBfuI swindler in the world," Further than the above no new developments in re lation to the diBaster have transpired at tho present writing, though it is feared that, ultimately, foveral lives will prove to have been sacrificed by the terrible catastrophe. Since the above was written the wife of the missing man. Mr. Priddy, has reviewed the body and pronounced it not that of her husband, who was a meohanio, while the remains is question are evidently those of a man who had been engaged in some Ught mercantile pursuit. The watch and jewelry of tho deceased wore elegant and expensive, and the hands of the watoh indicate that it stopped at five minutes past eight o'clook whiob, being about the time of the oollision, seems conclusive evidence that the deceased was a victim of the disaster.

A full descriptive advertisement of the body, whioh now lies at the Morgue awaiting identification, will be found in another column.

Some time was consumed in securing the presence of a patrolman to stand guard at the front while the Sera nt examined ihe yard, and by that time the thief had probably scented danuer and vamonsed the premises. The laaiily have been absent the country all the Summer, and once before were robbed a considerable an of clothing. Street Signs. In the course of a walk up Atlantic avenue last evening, from Smith street to Clas son avenue, but one of the many lamps was discovered to have the street sign properly fixed.

Some were upside down, others at an angle of 45 degrees, and others still turned wrong side out, and even opposite tho wrong street. The intelligent lamp cleauer probably did not see the importance to tiavelers of having tho signs correctly placed. Tee 'Widows Soap. Both lines of the Police telegraph were "off," that is, they could not be operated, last evening for the space ot three hours or more. Superintendent Flanley promptly went to work to set matters right; but it was long time before he could discover tbo cause of tbo trouble.

Finally, he found that tho "Widow Perrin," who does the cleaning at Headquarters, had left a pieco of soap in such a position that it united both lines and stopped communication. Flanley didn't swear he only talked earnest. Gxbuan Aid Societies. The German rsr idents of the Eleventh Ward organized a Patriotic Aid Society last evening. Mr.

J. G. Reuther was elected President, and a large number of names were placed on the list of members. As a commencement, $200 was subscribed at once. Subscription lists will bo circulated throughout the ward.

The Aid Society of the First, Second and Third Wards met at No. 8i Fulton street last evening, President Burger in the chair. It was announced that during the past week about $300 were subscribed. The news of the Prussian victories was the subject of hearty congratulations, and afforded a topic of conversation for the entire evening. Brooklyn Eclectic Dispensayiy.

Daring the month, 3,500 prescriptions were dispensed gratuitously. Runaway Accident on Flatbush Avenue.

An exciting runaway accident took place on Flatbush avenue, about seven "clock last evening. A team of horses owned and driven by Mr. L. N. Daniels, of No.

117 Columbia street, took fright near the Park and clashed wildly down the avenue. Other horses and vehicles avoided them, and no damage wits done until the team, taking to the sidewalk near Wyckoff street, knocked down Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Kcnnay, of No. 877 State street, and injured them severely but not dangerously. Mr. and Mrs. Kennay were taken lo the residence of Rev.

Matthew Ilale Smith, in Wyckoff street, and attended by Dr. St. Charles. Mr. Daniels escaped unii.jured, and the horses were final )y stopped before doing any other damasc Young People's Union op the Twelfth Street Refoiimed Church.

The social reunion of this organization, last evening, was a very pleasant affair, and despite the fact that it is the season when many of its friends are "out of town," was very well attended. W. H. Hoole, one of its enterprising young members, made his debut as a lecturer, and wassuccesa i al in every particular. The musical part of the entor fainment consisted of duets, "Go where the Mists are Sleeping" and "Land of the Swallows," by Miss A.

G. Cabus, and Mr. J. H. Young, golos, "Long live the Moments of Pleasure," and "Chiles in the Air," by Mrs.

M. F. G. Smith, (who by the way bids fair to become one of Brooklyns noted melodists) and some fine piano solaB by Big. Aug.

Cortada. The exercises closed after a few remarks by Mr. G. P. Bergen, complimentary to the energy displayed by the Young People's Union.

The Atlantic Street Accident. The inquest on the body of Bartholomew Murphy, who was killed by being thrown from his wagon, on Atlantic street, was concluded before Coroner Whitehill and a jury, last evcDing. Tho evidence showed that as George Smith, the driver of a truck, was driving down Atlantic street, he dropped his whip, and when he got off to get it his horses ran away and collided with Murphy's wagon, causing his horses to run away also. The result was that Murphy was killed. Detective Willis, who arrested Smith for reckless driving, testified: that, in his opinion, Smith was under the influence liquor, but this was not sufficiently corroborated.

Five of the jury rendered a verdict that tho deceased came to his death from accidental injuries, and exonerated Smith, while the sixth juror, Bernard Ennis, censured him. Coroner Whitehill sent the papers to the District Attorney, Imt the probabilities are that Smith will bo discharged irom custody. Fourth Ward Democratic Club. A regular meeting of the Fourth Ward Democratic Club, was held at Gothic Hall, last Vice President Geo. W.

London, August 1C( A. M. The Daily Newg, in its issue of this morning, contains a telegraphic dispatch from its correspondent, at the neutral city of Luxembourg, whlcn says A great battle was fought yesterday. The whole line of the German army was defeated." The correspondent adds, however, that though this information had been received at Luxembourg through a somewhat credible source, it lacks confirmation. No later advices had been telegraphed relating to the affair.

THE LONDON TELKGEAPH's EEPOBT. London, August 18. The Telegraph says that two great battles were fought on Sunday, one at Pange, eight miles cast of Metz, and the other at Longovllle. The first encounter occurred before the French had drawn off their forces to cross the Moselle by the bridges connecting with the works of Metz. The Prussians assailed the French rear guard furiously, and attacking them by the flank and rear pushed the French to the very verge of the works of the fortress.

The French succeeded in effecting a lodgment behind tbe entrenchments. Here the French made a determined stand and repulsed the Prussian assault. The second contest then ensued, which resulted in the repulse of the Prussians in an almost hand to hand encounter upon the walla of the outer line of works. Tho Prussians, though stubbornly contesting their ground, were beaten oil by the Frenoh army, supported by the fire of the fortifications. THE PBINCE AT PAEIS.

GROWLS AT PRUSSIA FROM THE POLAR BEAR. St. Petebsbueg, August 16. The Russian national press betrays considerale anxiety regarding the recent successes of the Prussian armies in their encounters with tho arms of France. It thinks that tbo supremacy of Prussia upon the continent (should she prove the victor in the present conflict) would be more dangerous to the interests of Russia than the supremacy of France, If the latter should defeat her Prussian adversary.

The Golost, a semi official journal of the Russian Empire, proposes that after a decisive victory has been won by either of the belligerent powers, a Congress of the powers of Europe, who have abstained from participating in the war, shall be convened with the object of securing the establishment of guarantees for the maintenance of peace, and for tbe protection of the equilibrium of Europe. THE CHINESE MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS JOHN CHINAMAN BFGOING PARDON. Bono Kong, via London, August 16. The Chinese government has asked of the governments of England and America, through their diplomatic representatives, that they interfere to prevent retribution for the massacre of French citizens at Tientsin. The evidence goes to show that the rising was directed against all foreigners residing in the diBtrict when the massacre occurred, Archbishop Parcell on tbe War and on the Infallibility Dogma.

Cincinnati, August 10. The Executive Committee of the German Aid Society of thiB city will forward to day as a first installment $2,500 to North German In an interview with a reporter Archbishop Purcell stated that without any wish to be offensive to the many Germans of the church, he could not conceal his sympathy with France, and trusted that she may yet recover and conquer. Relative to the Dogma of Infallibility, his Grace 05 preBsed tho opinion that it would not be proclaimed until the close of the business of the programme which, at the present rate of progression, will be at an unknown time. He coincided with the Arch bishop of Paris that the decree could not be conj sidered binding until the Council shall have been closed and the Pope proclaimed under the signatures of tho Bishops but if the Pope is infallible as he considers himself to be, he will do a he pleases. He believes the annunciation will not be attended with any extraordinary ceremonies, but will merely be officially announced and published.

He added that it was understood that the Jesuits in Cologne had refused absolution to persons declining to acknowledge the infallibility before its proclamation, and that they had been assured in their action by letters from Borne. Tho Archbishop will address the public at Mozart Hell in this city neit Sunday evening, when he will defend his course and may have something in teresting to say about the condition of the Church. FELONIOUS ASSAULT. A Baker Assaulted by Rowdies and Stabbed. About one o'clock last night two unknown young rowdies in a state of intoxication, entered the bakery of Jacob Mailman, No.

Two workmen employed by Mall man were in tho placo at tho time, but mado no attempt to arrest the assailants or give an alarm. They there fore escaped, and as yet no clue has been discovered as to their identity or whereabouts.

89 Col OA In Cr 113 Chi A Alt 3, 94: U3i EAGLE OIF1FICE, I P. M. ASCENT OF MOUNT MANSFIELD. An Account ol a. Trip Up tbe Steep, Incidents En Route.

Etc, Coriesppndence of the Eagle.J VBBMOMT, AngUBt 12. The subscriber duriDg his Summer vacation resides abont thirty miles from Mount Mansfield, in a Bmall township in the "Green Mountain State," aud this particular Summer, he, with several othora of like mind, determined to climb that peak, and from its lofty summit, view the surrounding landscape. So, after obtaining a carriage, which would have held without tho least demur the entire family of that lady who 1b noted for having a large nnmber of email children, and at the Bame time dwelling in that singular place of abode, a and after procuring the requisite number of in dividuals to fill it, we drove off one fine August morning for Stowe, which, as the guldo book' says, "ia a pleasant and romantic village, situated some twelve miles frosi Waterbury, and is reached by a stage over a fine plank road." As we had started at nine o'clock, we BEACHED WATEBBUEY at one o'clock, and a short distance from that town wishing to do the thing in true, picnic Btyle, we stopped; and while the ladies of the party unpacked the edibles, we baited our horses. While they were eating, we, in common with the ladies, repacked a large portion of the good things provided for us. After an hour spont in the maple woods we again tarted, and went over the "fine plank road" mentioned in the guide book moat of the planks of whioh, however, have been taken by worthy farmers In tho immediate neighborhood, to mend their fences with and in the afternoon BEACHED STOWE.

Stowe is a pleasant oountry village, and fully cornea npto the description mentioned above, and a little more. Among other things It boasts a large hotel, the "Mansfield House," owned by a "Bawston" company, and we therefore presume is all that could be desired. Tbe party to which I belonged, however, wishing to stick to first principles, rode past without stopping, except to look at a croquet party on the lawn before tbe house, and to express surprise that civilization bad bo far advanced but then if one were to go to "Greenland's Icy Mountains," he would be sure to find a lawn and a party playing "croqnet" on it, or breaking "Aunt Sally'B" pipes. After a drive of four or five miles wo reached the foot of the mountain, and, after making arrangements at a farmhouse for supper and roomB for the night, went on some three miles to a deep valley formed by the chin of tbe old man on one side and Sterling Mountains on the other, and known aa "Smugglers' Notch." The Notch is reached by a road cut through the deep woods, bo thick that one can look for miles without finding a clearing. In due Geason we BEACHED THE NOTCH HOUSE, a wooden building, built by the "Mansfield Company" for the accommodation of picnic parties who visit the "Notch." It is kept open, and contained tables, chairs and bedding for any who might wish, either from pleasure or necessity, to spend the night there.

The only occupant we found in the domicile was a chip squirrel, who ran as soon as he saw us. We walked up Borne half a mile in. the Notch, pjBsing on our way a great many boulders, which have in times past rolled down from tho tops of the surrounding mountains. Some of these boulders are filty feet in diameter, and one, which we passed we were afterward informed, rolled down two years ago and when it came down, people four or five miles away heard the rioise. We went into several caves formed by tbeBC rocks, in one of which wo could stand up aud walk round in for twenty feet.

Pursuing our way we finally BEACHED THE END OF THE DEFILE and then we first saw the grandeur of tho scene. In a valley about fifteen hundred feet deep, we looked on the one hand straight np above our heads at a bare rock without a tree on its surface, and about seven hundred feet high. On its top was a forest, which looked at the distanco at'which we viewed it, like a mere fringe. On the other side the chin of the old man rose direct in the air fifteen hundred ieet, making together one of the finest scenes we had ev er beheld. Coming down again through the Notch, we arrived safe at the house where we had left our carriage, aud from there set oat on our return to the farm house, which we reached at eight o'clock in the eveniDg, the ladies on the way forcing us to get out a dozen times with a scream of "Oh, how lovely, do get it for me," at some "Indian pipe" or pieco of moss, of which a great abundance grows in this wild region.

The farmer at tho house of whom we stayed over night, although he had a good house and set a good table, was one of the most lazy and good for nothing men we ever came across. He had no grain for our horses, but plenty of hay; but as we came provided with the grain, we were not inconvenienced at all. One of the party Buggestcd one time he waB gone from the house, that he might be out cutting some hay for the horses, but that we discredited, as he being so lazy, we concluded if they needed it ho would naturally turn them in and let them eat what they wanted. Tbe next morning when we heard the "hired help," as the maid is known in the New England States, asking for some kindlings, we again thought he must have gone to cut down a tree for that purpose, but on his appearing very Bhortly, made up our minds he had takon a chair or some othor article of furniture, for the fire instead. After an early breakfaBt wo set out to "do" the mount ing, as the farmer called it.

We rode for an hour's time, and then BEACHED THE HALF WAY HOUSE, a wooden structure, built on the side of the mountain some three mileB from the Summit House. The road from here formerly was a Bleep one, going up through the path of a brook, and it used to be very amusing, but more tedious to ascend. The Iadie3 al ways had to take a horse or donkey and go up that way. But, "Alas, Poor Yorick," the romance is gone, and ease steps in in its place. The traveler now reaches the summit over a good carriage road, built last Sum mer by about a hundred men who were at work for some weeks.

So, after paying our toll, a small boy came out and let ub in, and after another ride of three miles distance, we reached, aj twelve o'clock, the Summit House. The house is Cat the foot of the nose, and two mile from the chin, whioh is the Highest point, being some 5,000 feet above the level of the sea, Tho nose is 300 feet above the Summit House, and the chin 600 feet, After resting in the house, and getting a good dinner, we put forth a staff in our hand and went on onr pil grimage to the chin. Passing ovor the lips, we reached, after a long pull, the tiptop of the highest mountain in Vermont. Besting our weary limbs on the reoke, we were supremely happy. Coming up we had found it quite warm and sultry, but on the top it was se cold we could have worn our overcoats, and not have been uncomfortable.

Looking round, our delighted eyes had a bird's eye view of every village, house, road and mountain for miles on either side, and although itwas so hazy we could not see Montreal, vet they told us on clear days it could be seen with the naked eye. The sun was shining brightly, lighting up the hills and vil lages, and making the view sublime. After feasting our eyes to our heart's content, we returned to the ho to, picking on our way the blue berries which grew on short bushes and in large.nnmbers on the very sum mit. After getting our provisions from the oarriage we began the ascent of the "nose," which though not so high as the chin was much more diflicult to climb, be ing much steeper. After climbing a short distance we found a rope bv which the weary are helped to climb, by pulling themselves up.

We reached top after a bard struggle, tired and out of breath. ON THE TOP wo spread onr cold dinner, and whito we; talked, and cat our broiled eggs, and roast chickens, wo enjoyed at the same time th prospect. Then after a ramble of an hour, wo went down, got into our carriage and began to descend which we found more difficult than the ascont, and bo fore we reached the foot.we.went over Borne places where as the author of the "Roquette Club" infloijier's Maga zine says. "The very gold filling was rattled out of our teeth." We reached homo in safety, well pleas ed with our trip, and all resolved to do it again at some future time. Yours etc, Veedh Monte.

The glasses are so arranged that the larger ones, those of the heavier limbm about tho dimensions of a large goblet are nixt the performer, when Uiey graduate off, the more distant ones, of light and high tone, being about the size of a Bmall wine glass. Herr Sehleiss did not produce the tones, as might be supposed, by striking tho glasses with a stick or other instrument, but operated simply with his hands, with which he appeared only to touch or gently rub the rims of the glasses, thereby evolving a clear, ringing sound. Mr.

Bchleisa performed in a dexterous manner, accompanied by the orchestra, a fantasia from Norma," when he was encored and responded by playing The Mocking Bird." Sig. Ciccone played on the clarionet a fantasia from I Puritani," which called forth an encore. In the third part ho performed a selection on his bass clarionet from "Lea Siciliennes Vespres." The latter instrument is moBt heavy, clumsy, and awkward looking a hybrid between a clarionet and a cornet, resembling as much as anything a hugo pipe with a silver bowl and mouthpiece. It is, as its name indicates, a bass clarionet, though Rb effects are by no means startling, it having all the distinctive features and Bounds of the original instrument, which Sig. Ciccone plays very well.

Tho concert, which closed with the "Sleigh Ride Galop" by the orchestra, was a musical, if not a financial, success. These concerts, which are to be continued during the week, are for the benefit of a worthy cause, and all lovers of good and well rendered music should not fail to attend them. The Kink Concerts.
