Matos's Corav.—The splice were not idle on
Thursday night, as was evidenced by tbe array
of sinners who were present iti this court yester
day, and who want their ways rejoicing or
mourning:
D. Sullen, a gay and festive cuts, who had ta
ken a n lion to sample various brands of "dead-
shot," kept f«r the delectation of youths sportive
ly inclined, finally became weak in the back and
limber in the knees, ending ^in the bard pave

-end of hi* nose, in which condition he was
"Taken up tenderly.

Drunk as bedad.”
and conveyed to the lookup, from whence he
was brought before the Mayor, who, in consider
ation of the unprovoked sssault made on him by
the sidewalk, only required him to settle costs.
Tom Hardeman, a colored man, was caught
handling property of which be was not the right
ful owner, for which he was taxed $5 and costs.
An Ethiopian youth, rejoicing in the baptis
mal rugnomen of Boh, who was caught “bobbing
aronnd” loose, and interfering with other men’s
goods, was given the choice of twenty days’ rus-
icatfon on anti dyspeptic diet, or pay $5 and
l costa.
Mary Davis and Ann Wilson, two colored
ladies of the highest respectability in their walk
of life, bad a falling out, which ended in a little
game of gouge and rcratch and a general scatter-
ation of wool, for which they contributed $5 and
costa.
George, colored, for acting in a disorderly
manner on the ttreeU, had the tcfeciiofi cf ten
days in the cuard hau-c or costs.
Bill and Sam, two hitherto fast friends, of the
colored persuasion, had a liule “diflikilty”—
perhaps a dispute about the division of spoils on
their last ehicken raid—and became sworn foes,
ending in a little bit of a fist and skull game on
the streets, for which they contributed $o and
costs.
Mary Smith, for disorderly conduct, was called
on ftirfi and costs.
Tanna, a colored woman, let her temper get
the better of her reason, and acted in a bolster-
o i« t:» .nner, for which she was required to fork
over $j auJ costa, or go to the guard house for
ten days
Judge and Edmond, two half-clad freedmen,
who trouM steal wood, “bekaso dey war cole,”
were informed they could depart in peaoe, after
depositing about eight dollars in currency, or
“keep co»l” for twenty days within the retire
ment of the shades of Tom' Knight's castle.
George and Aleck were up for disorderly con
duct, but the charge was not proven, and they
were let off on payment of costs.

Tux CnnisTwas Tkce.—Last night was a bril
liant success. A largo and enthusiastic crowd
filki the City Hall. There were old men and
young met:, young ladies and boy* and girls—
the handsome, the elegant, and the beautiful.
We were pleased to *ce present the young
orphans of the orphan school, all looking neat
and happy. There were about 15 boys and about
a dozen girls, and we feel confident that those
who notod them, and reflected upon the benefit
they were receiving, will never regret that they
aided in carrying through this project in their
behalf!
The di: play of articles, the many-colored
lamps, the numerous lights, the excitement of
callingont and receiving the various articles, all
ogetlier, made a scene loffg to be remembered.
' Many wcie unable to procure seats, and yet
mirth aud good humor prevailed. The exhibi
tion was kept np to a late hour, and all went
home pleased with all they had seen and heard.
Many were unable, on account of the crowd,
to obtain the articles to which they were entitled.
We are requisted to say that those who received
.nothing will obtain a present by calling at the
Hall this mofning, as it is the intention of the
managers to auction off the articles or give them
away to the children. t
To add to the enjoyment of the evening, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Watkins, with their talented
niece. Mi So Shaw, were present, and the two lat
ter gave us a "touch of their quality/’ in vocali
sation and instrumentation, to which the audi
ence testified thflfc rapturous delight. Mrs.
Watkins has a clear, sweet voice, the liquldoess
of which was well developed in the songs she
gave. She concluded her medley song with
Dixie?’ which was received with shouts and
cheers. Miss Shaw we pronounce the best lady
pianist we have ever had the pleatore of listen
ing to. Our citizens will have a better oppor
tunity of hearing these artistes to night, at Ral
ston Hall.
Two Hovas or Gexcis* Mirt*.—Mr. aud Mrs.
Harry Watkins give one of their unique enter
tainments this evening at Ralston Hall, assisted
by the eminent young English pianist, Miss Car-
lottaShaw. From the extended reputation of
the performers, and the high encomiums be.
stowed upon the entertainment, both in this
country and Europe, those of our.citizens who
j visit "Fun-Land” may rest assured of enjoying a
! moat delightful evening's ^amusement Thqjol-
| lowing notice from' the Washington Prcs3 will
I convey some idea of the nature of the cntcriain-
i xnent:
AhrsEiiEvT—Two Horns is Fcv L.txn.—Mr.
and Mrs. Watkins have found out the great want
ofthedav; an amusement which combines mu
sic, poetry, comedy, and pathos; an gmuseraent
which, while it nffordsTelaxation to the mind,
does not debase the intellect, evoking the heart
iest laughter without offending the laws of good
breeding. In Europe these duo representations
are verv fashionable with the aristocracy, and,
at the same time, highly popular with the masses.
But even in Europe, where the arts have been
hitherto more highly cultivated than with our
selves, the originatorj of such entertainments as
are now being presented at the Assembly Build
ings bad much to contend with in the prejudices
of custom. People ffho had been habituated to
the performances of large companies in cither
Opera. Drams, or Ballet did not conceive it pos
sible that they could derive sstiafacti >n from the
representations of bnt two artists, however great
their individual talent. The principal difficulty
is to find artists of sufficient versatility to render
these du*» entertainments pleasing ; but without
such versatility the whole thing would become
wraryingly monotonous. Mr. and Mrs. Watkins
are peculiarly gifted in this respect, for they ap
pear capable of doing almost anything. They
dance, they sing, they instrunientalize,and make
some wonderful transformations of character,
and with such rapidity, that did w© not know to
the contrary, we should suppose they had the
assistance of confederates. No greater nroof of
tbeir success can be given than the fact that they
arc abeut to enter upon their fourth week.

The monf market remains in a comfortable condi
