“Mrs. Florence takes a benefit this evening at Wood’s Museum. ‘Thrice Married’ and other short and lively pieces will be presented. The animals, the stuffed shark, and most of the human monstrosities, lately on exhibition at this house, have been removed. The Morlacchi Troupe will dance to-night, in ‘Esmeralda.’”
