Notwjth-standing the inclement a very respectable audience, in appreciation as veil as in size, assembled at the Theatre on last evening, the 'opening, occasion. Few. tlere were present, 'we are sure, who in any wa; regretted having ventured out The perf( nuance was a complete and decided sua ess the actors all eotering with spirit the full appreciation piece, and all -dencing ability in their different lines. i Mr. Phelps, as Damon, fully equalled and perhaps excelled the many expections which had been formed of himj and irt his rendition of Damon has at once his way into the good will of our peopU In many parts his acting arose to almfti the personation of a reality, and the freiuent bursts of applause from the audience ratified how well his efforts were appreclted.

He was mainly supported by Mr. Suttti, as Pythias, Mrs. Stetson, as Calantba, ahdpliss Mary Madden, as Her mi on, ull of sustained their, parts with signal lability! Mr. Sutton in Ids representation pf Py thiw the second character of the piece receivrd repeated plaudits from the audience. On the whole we are more than gratified at the successful debut made here bythis troupe, confident as we are that our people will appreciate and sustain their eforts.

Business Mattees. The partial failure of the past year's crops, and, the financial troubles which fell upon our people, have not, it is feared, yet worked their full evil effects. Business has become stagnant, and the low prices of all varieties of produce has set the sober minded business men of oar city to thinking seriously. The immediate future looks gloomy, and we fear that before another harvest season has arrived, that many of our people must suffer deeply.1 It is well, therefore, for us to practice a frigid economy in the present, and to lay up something for the day when, it is feared, the trouble jtnd distress now apprehended 'may fall in its full force upon us. Holt Innocent's Day.

On last Saturday Holy Innocents Day-the services held in St, James church were participated I in to a great extent by the children. 1 The elders did Jail they could to render its recurrence pleasant to the juveniles. In the evening many of the children of the Parish assembled in Society Hall where a feast was laid out for them, and where music and dancing was afterwards allowed them. 1 The evening wore away pleasantly to all and; by ten o'clock the Hall was closed and they had all departed homeward. The New Eclectic Such is the title of a new Magazine of Selected Literature now published in Baltimore and New York; and the first number of which we have received.

It bids fair to be an excellent literary periodical and if the first number can be taken as an index of the others, will prove a truly valuable addition to the literature the country. The contents of the January number are "On Sovereigaty St. Pauls," ''Culture and Action Saturday Ret iew," t4Wo-man in the Middle "Rome's Last Pageant Punch," "Pbineas Finn Anthony Trollope?
