Seranton, May 2,1867—Ij  Having reached the hall, we paid an admission fee of sixpence. There was a very neat 6tage, with gaudy drop scenes,side wings, and a tolerable good orchestra. In the Btalls sat the chairman, to keep order over as motley an audience as ever was seen out of the gallery of the Victoria Theatre. "Costers" seemed to predominate. All appeared plentifully supplied with porter, and all were enjoying their pipes to such an extent as to make the place almost suffocating, for there must have been an audience of nearly five hundred. A nigger "walk around" was just being finished, and the shouts of "encore," whistling and stamping of feet made the ball perfectly bewildering. A name was announced from the chairmar, which we could not catch, and amidst clapping of hands and stamping of feet there was a buzz of "This is the song !" The waiter called loudly, "Any more orders?" and these being taken and duly executed, all seemed fo settle down quietly to listen to the song. There was the symphony, and another buzz of "This is it!" and we began to feel anxious. Presently a female came in front of the curtain, amidst great applause, and commenced "Father, dear father," Ac. Every word was distinct, and she sang the ballad with great feeling. In order, however, to fully describe the scene which followed each verse, it is necessary to give "little Mary's song : :t«ton and v Office 2 M uy 14,186C s to the citizens of Full Axbcdotk op General Gra.it.—After the capture of Vicksburg, steamers ran in there to take furloughed troops up the river, charging as high as $30 for a passage from Vicksburg to Cairo.

But even this is in a measure impracticable. This question is one which, presented by what people in pantaloons call a strong minded woman, is provocative of much ridicule. They seem to consider there is some deep disgrace in a man's minding the baby at home.

Yot such is the fact. Time and progress have, through countless ages, come marching hand in hand—the one destroying, the other building up. They seem to create little or no commotion, and the work of destruction is as easily and silently accomplished as a child will pull to pieces a rose. Yet such is the fact. A hundred years hence, and much that we now see around us will too have passed away.

They ran up to the carman in squads, C!limbed all over him, then down to tho station floor again, and scampered and gamboled around in ectacies of unmistakable delight.— When he started for the chute again with the car, they ran following and playing around him, and when he had filled the car with ore and started back again for the shaft, they (the rats) sprung upon the car and ran all over it, and jumped and leaped as if mad. The carman sat down a moment to see what they would do, when they all huddled around and ran over him without the slightest apparent feir, and without offering to bite him.
