Christmas W nth the Deaf and Dumb.
We spent the evening of Christmas Day with
the inmates of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, to
our signal edi6cation and delight. The pupils,
who are some three hundred or more in number
were permitted to amuse themselves by an Exhi
bition, in which Emotions, Scenes, Events, Char
acters, were presented as forciby as they could
well be by the aid Of the voice. So genuine
pantomimic entertainment has rarelyor never
been witnessed outside the walls OF an Asylum
though within them, we infer from the proficien
cy displayed, they are not infrequnt. Every
passion was wildly depicted, every shade Of
feeling forcibly presented. Reverence, Anger,
Love, Fear, Jealousy, Remorse, Joy, Anguish,
looked forth as hvingly from the faces of these
mute children as from those of the admired I he59-

as lucidy set forth as the duliest head could need
or the most fastidious taste require. 1t was gra-
tifying 10 see the faces of SO many children OF
eternal silence radiant with intelligence, and
evincing knowledge and elevation of sentiment
whichit would seem impossible, thus benighted,
to acquire. We have more to say.when time
favors, Of the excellent Istitution at which these
unfortunates are so nobly aided to overcome their
privations.

Guayra, about some or miles frem Caracas;
flag of truce was sent to the hostile army, with Of
ers of pardon and protection to all who would re-
turn peaceably to their homes: These offers were,
however rejected and battle ensued, which re-
suited in the complete overthrow OF the revolters
nod the death Of their leaders, Centapo snd Avara-
do. The insurgents numbered about 400 men.

eight u;eces of Sta,uary Ibis own and two Sons
