1 The closing performance by the Wallack-Bioh
Company
at the Opera House, the play being Oliver Tvriet.
A Urge audience was present, the house being
well filled. The performance concluded much
earlier than usual.

The play, however, gives opportunity to

that he takes pleasure in it purely as a triumph

Ae we stated on Saturday, the engagement of

Notwithstanding the fact that the dedicatory
services of the new West Presbyterian Church,
Eighth and Washington streets, have been in
progrès« for several dare, the interest continues
unabated, and the spaoious audience room of the
church was well Ailed, yesterday morning, to
listen to the discourse of Rev. James MoCosh,
D. D., L. L. D., President of Princeton College.
The exercises were opened with a voluntary by
the choir and organ, when a divine blessing was
invoked upon the new edifice by Rev. Dr. Mo
Cosh. The 182nd Psalm was then read by the
same gentleman, after which the 97th hymn—
" All people that on earth do dwell"—was sung,
and the 6th chapter-of Revelations was
when Dr. McOosh offered another fervent prayer
and Rev. George H. Smyth announced the 84th
hymn —"Behold the glories of the Lord." After
this was sung. Rev. Dr. McOosh proceeded to dis
course from Revelations, 3th chapter and Gth

there is uothiug in repentance to make atone

the Saviour from the hands into which he had

of God is necessary. Under tho law all things
