NEARLY A REAL TRAGEDY, WITH CAs- TLE, THE TENOR, AS THE VicTim.—The large and brilliant audience that was. pres- ertat the Academy of Music on Tuesday evening to witness the performnnce of the opera of “Lucia jdi Lammermoor” left the house without the slightest idea that in the last act a real tragedy was near being euacter on the stage. Edgardo, the iover of Lucie, in one of the scenes of the last act stabs him’ self to the heart. Mr. Castle, who was pla ing the role of Edgardo, was a trifle too vig- orous in the stabbing business, or the dag- ger was too sharp, or there was @ combina- Uon of both. and the consequence was that the dagger pierced the actor's clothes and in- flicted a fesh wound an ineh or two in iength. The wound was by no means a ser!- ous one, being hardly felt at the time, but became a little painful afterwards. Tne ac- cident has not incapacitated Mr. Castle in any respect —[ Balto.
