fects Of the frost, which for the sake Of the
ladies we can't help thinking of, all went
off well. A subject, however, was TO be
magnetized, and at this point the short
necks all become long, and the long ones
reminded us of cranes. But "silence," and
take your seats" was the order Of the
night, and silence il was.
Right here, by way of interineation and
explanation of future remarks, we must
premise that one of our young citizens had
unfortunately possessed himself of splen-
did new pair of high hceled squeaking
boots. of the existence of which he was

sary.
The subject was an interesting little
school girl, Of some ten or eleven years
who turned out to be the heroine Of the
evening, as her friends withdrew her from
the operator, against her will, after Pc
Rod of some thirty minutes, and before
the audience were perfectly satisfied A
stout looking youth was substituted, and
here followed q scene which beggars all
description. Silence was requested, and
silence was very desirable, and with one or
two exceptions, every one went in for 81.
lencc. But the seats in the church had
been made of unscasoned lumber and
screaked-thc door literally screamed-and
the new boots were equal to base drum
and bag-pipc. Finally, the operator dis
missed his subject, Directing to the noise
and at this point an unruly and excited
looking customer, with a lille too much
mud on one arm and sde-rather more
than a member of the temperance society
would like to exhibit-caled out an offer
of ten dollars if the operator would mag.
netze 'me." The offer was not attended
to, as "me" was evidently hard case, and
upon proposition being made and sec.
onded from the audience, the same youth
again took his seat, and all hands tried Ia
be silent, so far as silence was deemed con-
sistent with personal liberty and independ.
ence, and due regard to the canons OF
curiosity.
From the start, however, the same
squeaking, and whispering went forward.
The M. DIS, on such occasions, are consid-
cred privileged, and little whispering, on
their part, is expected to pass for the OBJ
servance of some phenomena. But not so.
The crowd were considerably democratic,
and that spirit of independence and equality
which burns in the heaving bosoms Of our
sons and daughters, caused others to think
of the principles which govern the larges,
liberty, and whisper was the word. The
back of a bench would squeak, and some
neighbor, supposing he or she could GER
tainly change their position without pro-
ducing sound, would make the experiment.
and off went squeak after squeak. Here
our young friend became doubtful as TO
the actual existence of his new boots, and
an experiment, in full tone, was the result.
For two or three times the door screamed
tremendously, and curiosity, which can
never be two much commended, carried
one of the professions in the ncighborhood,
evidently with the design of satisfying the
house that he could open the door in q
respectful tone, but out it screamed, as il
in contempt of his object and genius. Be
ing out, and much of what was in, de-
pending on his presence, he necessarily re-
turned, and again it screamed out. In fact
1t was whisper and squeak, and scream and
whsper-with new boots and the muddy
friends cane--until the operator took advan.
tage of the circumstances, and declared il
impossible for the youth to go 10 sleep while
there was SO much noisei
The crowd, taking the hint, took up the
line of march, and all left in good humor
being perfectly satisfied that no one had
been magnetized. In two or three months
we presume, our citizens will be ready
for another sho,0. We will certainly.
