Sherman House, and the Army of the Ohio
will rendezvous at the Briggs House.

Army of the Cumberland will convene in
MaVicker's' Theatre, and the Army of the

zation Is perfected.
On Tuesday evening a grand re=union
of
all the armies will take place in the Opera
House. The programme for the occasiolo
is as follows: •

AMUSESIEN rd.
THE ACADMIY.-010 /3111/ was welcomed
before' the footlights at the Academy, on
Saturday night, by another large and bril
liant audience. The commodious house
was packed from pit to dome and standing
room was at a premium. • The concert, like
that of the previous evening, was a suc
cess not only pecuniarily to Ole Ball, but
another grand triumph of his towering
geniva. His efforts on the violin were, per
haps, a shade more brilliant and impressive
than those which produced such marked
effect on the audience in attendance at the
musical ovation of the previous evening,
He was rapturously encortd time and a
those present drinking into their souls
ain,
the
ravishing sweet music sent capering from
his violin, and, in their - intoxication of de
light, selfishly clamored for more when the
last sound died upon their ears. Miss
Barton, too, did better and won for herself
high place in the estimation of those pres—
ent, as a vocalist of superior power and
ability. Prof. Lansing sustained his envi
able reputation at the piano as an interpre
ter and accompanist.
To-night the grand old master of music
will favor the community with a farewell
concert at the Academy, and we hope none
who have thus far failed to hear him will
longer deprive themselves of the pleasure:
Perhaps-this occasion may be the last ,one
presented for seein and hearing Ole Bull
the violinist whose name ' will shine forever
in musical history as one of the greatest in
terpreters of the age in which we live, • •

obtained to-day at Mellon's well-known
music store, No. 81,Wood street.

on her return from California to New
York, will give on of her grand concerts at

and the concert will doubtless be a first
class entertainment. The sale of Beata
