talking my seriously of something very curious at the
Bowery and Franklin Theatre. On making inquiry al
the proper quarter, find that this curiosity-this
mystery is nothing but Man bait who has occasion
ally made his appearance in the lobby and punch room
OF both establishments TO the great amusement Of every
person fequenting these places. The habits of the
man-bat are peculiar. He has peculiar appetite for
pouring wutery liquids down his throat-then talking
love to the old adies-and sometimes alleging that he
is the editor of the Sun. He also talks learnedly on
astronomy and optics" the mechanical TRANSMISSION oil
magnifed artificial light" &c.-and sometimes flaps his
wings in great style. His mode ofsleepng is also pecu
liar-rhe real vespertohomo" sleep, with his head on
one SIDE hanging over his chair-his arms dangingiy
dow II, and the pretty bar maid looking quite funny
him.
We trust our worthy indicted contemporary of the
Sum- will cage the manbat in future and prevent his
personaiing him hereafter at the Franklin and Bowery
theatres. He might be exhibited.

MARIA MONK, is quite busy making converts to the
truth Of her nunnery story. Maria is better canvasser
than Howe & Baiesner believers are now quite
formidable. Whether her story is true false, it is
evident she is smart girlprety too as we hear ane
talks eoquenily herpast life and singular adventures
She visits round town, and is quite pretty little or
in her way. She throws Rosamond entirely in the
shade Who cares for widow Faugh! Mr. Theodore
Dwight could not help writing a drol book at the
dictation Of such pretty girl. We should like
amazingly to have little of her dictaton oursef-afew
paragraphs by way of sample. II is true, hardly
believe her story-but the ingenuity of constructing
such fable, evinces original talents ApropOs-Maria
understand intends to visit Doc. Sleighs lectures
this evening, at the Mulberry street Chapel. We
miss taking peep at her, if we get through the
crowd. We pick her out from ten thousaud-he
dress and her agebut that shall keep TO oursels
SNow-SSow-SSow.-Tr we believe the snow
spirit of Moore has taken up his residence in this devoted
city. When it first commenced showing, about month
SINCE poets painters, and the ladies loud in the
praises of its fine whteness" virgin purify, &c. &c
But the spirit, rendered vain by The praises lavshl
bestowed upen him by every body, has gone too far
We are fond of good thing, but in verify too much
of good thing is good for nothing" In addition to
three feet OF snow already packed IN our Streets
menced again on Tuesday night, and from all appear
ances, likely have three feet more, il i,
done. Many of our streets previously almost i'm
passable and now, unless the thick headed fathers
of our city take some of having the cleared
away, they will be utterly useless Streets Every
hour in the day, accident Of kind another
occurs. Upsetrng of seighs, breaking of limbs, ant
jeopardizng Of lives have become so frequent that
person passing by. rarely thinks of stopping inquire
how it CHANGED. Now too is the time for the rich anc
generous to open their hearts, and relieve the misery
hundreds. Let of those who live in luxury, take
single look at the Commissioners of the Aims
House. and if the sight does svery feeling Of
sympathy and humanity, and induce him to extend his
charity to some of the miserable wretches there Lei
no such man be trusted"
