Two Fine Entertainments.

On Friday evening, at the opera house, J. E. Toole, the German-Irisb comedian+ appears in "Killarney and the Rhine," a title which suggests music and song and shillelabs and wooden shoes. The plot is good, the characters are given employ- ment, and there is yet ample opportunity for the songe and dances incident to an Irish and German entertainment. Mr. Toole sings like J. K. Emmet. In his part is to be found the same honest heart beating under the same ragged coat, aud the play contains as much wrenching of the emotions ae convenient. He is really a clever comedian in his line, and wben he is on the etage there is no lack of amusement. He is finely supported and the piece ie splendidly staged.

On Saturday evening the play will be "Rip Van Winkle." Mr. Toole je & worthy successor of the original "Rip." Mr. Jefferson Especially is he strong in the last acts, after bis awakening from his long sleep. In the earlier part of the play-as the careless, drunken vagabond ""Rip" -- he brings his well-known dialect into play and captivates the audience. Thia play holds s high place lu popular esteem for ite interest on all grounds, and the star ou tbe present occasion is well supported by an excellent company, making the performauce a genuine pleas- ure from first to last.
