 There is no one sentiment advanced by the friends of Theatrical amusements more contemptiby rdicu- lous then that theatres are schools of virtue i" oras Southern writer has it, next to the pulpit the best aac. said, in his day, when characters Hike Johnson, Young, and many others were ranked patrons of the Stage, that the theatre was Stew oflicentious- ness" How we'll the New-York managers exempli- fy ths assertions may be learned from the following short extract from the N Y.

 "Free admissions now being dispensed to the pub- c courezans Of the town, in order that their vile par amours may be induced to follow them, whereby the receipts of the house may be nightly increased: and the profits oflesees of the saloons greatly enhanced in consequence of the greater demand for the various species of intoxicating beverage" These, fellow citizens, Sse some of the teachers in this school of morals !
 The editors of the N Y.

 We yesterday visited the cheese dairy of Can't Tim othy Collins, of Goshen and are free to declare it the most pleasing sight of the kind we ever witnessed Mr. Collins makes what are very appropriately called, "Pine Apple cheeses," from the great resemblance they bear to that elegant and delicious fruit The cess ofpressng drying and preparing them for market IS both novel and interesting to those who only guainted with the common method of cheese making.
