fantastic toe" with great spirit till an advanced hour ill

OPERA ARRANGEMENTS.--Mdlle. Jenny Lill,
will appear in two new parts before the, close of thi
season, namely, in I Puritani, to-morrow evening;
next week in Balfe's opera of Fabtaff, with which tbr
season will close. This opera, originally produced
1838 with great success, having run six consecutif
nights, has not been performed since; probably on Igr.
count of the difficulty of procuring two soprani capalw
of adequately sustaining the two principal female part!'
On the present occasion Mdlle. Lind will play Grist'
part—Mrs. Ford, and Mdlle. Cruvelli that of ,Arses
Page, Mdlle. Schwas will sustain the part of Mrs. NO
Gardoni that of Fenton, Belletti that of Ford, whilst the
incomparable Lablache will till his original part of F4P.
staff, as no other than himself at the present day cti:
that great creation of our immortal Shakspere.,:4
much having recently been agitated about native te'r,b,
it'is gratifying to find that our Italian opera before
close df its season will produce a work doing peCtl7,l
homage to British genius—the libretto, the music, list
the scene, being all peculiarly national. But, indee,7o'
there should be no distinctions of nationality in IP
world of art. We understand that Mr. Balfe has cote;
posed a new cavatina and a new rondo finale expreeali
for mdlle. Lind.

"LIST OF PROCLAIMBD Jotexs."—Nobody is hence
forth permitted to say—That an elderly gentleman coo'
netted with railways is a railway buffer. Nor that I 1°;
cotnotive is like a policeman—because it takes pea,
up to the station. Nor that a slow train, followed by
quick one, is like the letter W—because the X pre,se
on behind. Nor that a partizan of the Great Itirnstei.
line is like a stout exciseman—because he is a brut'.
gauger. Nor ;hat the wheels upon railways are
cated with train oil. Nor that railroads intended for tl
conveyance of luggage are therefore to be called trIO
lines.—Bubbles of the Boiler.
THE COLD EARTH CURE.—The " cold earth" cute
seems destined to rival the " cold water cure." Qije
day last week, an old man from Shields arrived WO
his native place, High Coniscliffe, near Darling,c'enj
suffering very touch from paralysis, which had deprif
him of the use of one side. He said he was told to
himself buried two feet deep in his" native soil," and Po
would be cured. The poor fellow, strong in faith, got sive!,
to dig a hole by the Tees-side, into which he got, and
covered over for a couple of hours, his head only bill
visible He had not been long in his grave before, uj
broke out into a profuse perspiration. He compleineo
of excruciating pain in the side where before he had ~
feeling at all, and after his exhumation he declared 11
self better, could walk nimbler, and had some feeling vo
his side. A correspondent of the Durham Advertiser, aY,
thinks the " cold earth" cure "not to be laughed at," folit
"on the authority of an informant at Darlington, a bits
test: physician was, some forty years since on a visit to tu,
father of my informant, who, in the course of converot,
tion, asked him what treatment he prescribed in an 1•
tuck of the plague, to which the physician replied, in 1110
imperfect English, " We do take the people that li,„,
seized, and do bury them in the ground till they uc
swear." " Swear, deetor, swear, did you say?
can swearing have to do with their cure? You probeb
mean sweat instead of swear." " Ah! yes; sweat, the
o
is the word; we do bury theta in the ground till they u
sweet."—Newcastle. Journal.
