We were much pleased wiffi'this performance, which Dr. Hills manages better and cheaper than we could. “The music was good, and the dancing, if we are a competent4 judge, quite reapectable, except that of an old man im a blue jacket, who was -a little too much excited. We would that all dancing could be confined to lunatic asylums, where it is very appropriate! Mr. Spurgeon, however, thinks it, may be advantageously practiced by other than lunatics, but under three. conditions, namely: that it be. done.sin the open air, by daylight, the woinan dancing in one field and nyén in another. How mankind will pervert. things! Curds were invented or a benevolent purpose—to amuse a crazy king—yet wicked raseals have used them to make some subjects crazy. It seems to us that dancing was invented to amuse and exercise maniaés, but, alas! It has been turned from its appropriate and benevolent. purpose.” . FEARFUL.—While M.

EA Morse, City DancixG.—Dr. Thompson, in some notes of his tour West, says of a visit to the In-_ sane Asylum, Columbus, Ohio. “ We attended a dance ia the Asylum, the first we have seen since we Were a manager of a Fourth of July ball, some thiyty-one years ago, and had a heavy bill to pay the fid. dler. We were much pleased wiffi'this performance, which Dr. Hills manages better and cheaper than we could. “The music was good, and the dancing, if we are a competent4 judge, quite reapectable, except that of an old man im a blue jacket, who was -a little too much excited. We would that all dancing could be confined to lunatic asylums, where it is very appropriate! Mr. Spurgeon, however, thinks it, may be advantageously practiced by other than lunatics, but under three. conditions, namely: that it be. done.sin the open air, by daylight, the woinan dancing in one field and nyén in another. How mankind

will pervert. things! Curds were invented or a benevolent purpose—to amuse a crazy king—yet wicked raseals have used them to make some subjects crazy. It seems to us that dancing was invented to amuse and exercise maniaés, but, alas! It has been turned from its appropriate and benevolent. purpose.” . FEARFUL.—While M. Chiarini, the ace ing tight-rope walker attached to the Mar ettitroupe, was engaged, on Thursday, in making the ascent with a wheelbarrow, trom the ground to the roof of the Pavillion at Hayes’ Park, near San Francisco, he lost his balance and‘fell, receiving injuries that will, probably, prove fatal.
