ST. Theatre, week ago or ~, by some persons
who called themselves Shaking QuakerS. Bat
the authorities put stop 10 Their proceedings,

ten up to make money upon the reputation Of
n company Of real Shakers, from Canterbury, !
n. H., who are still in New York, where for
the last three months they have been giving
exhibitions Of the manners, customs and pecu- !
larties Of tho sect. These latter once heid |
high ranb III Their community. They seeded
from their old belief, OWING To he tact that at.
ter careful and patient investigation, they be-
clme convinced Of the aIlacy OF the Sucker
doctrines, In giving Their pubic exhibitions,
thoy have yielded TO tho r, quests and nrgtn Mt ,
opportunities Of their lrlends aud the pnbhc;
and have always avoided even The appearance
OF burlesGaing or rdlrulmg hat large aud

almost GChpses the most daring teats Of the
"diVine Fanny E>ser,' These are the real
Simon purss, and should they visit your city,
you Will have an opportunity Of witnessing
truthful representation OF the practices Of this
mysterious sect Do not mistake them for The
band in Philadelphia.
| "drOpped in" night or two since, to hear
those celebrated native v"cnlle,s, the O,phean
Family. | had for long time been listening
10 nothing but the Hnsarlhty strains OF foreign
lions; and really, II seemed rtliC 10 my over
taxed, oVer-wrought musical system, TO hear the
beautiful, soul-stlrring, upprscinble mus,c Of
these gifted Singers The performance OF some
of their quartetts could not have been snrpass-
ed, ana called forth the repeated and prolonged
applause of delighted audience. They are
soon to visit Baltimore. Give them tho recep-
ton they deserve.
The Presidents rrquisition has put militia
ry matters on the gui uus here. Business is
dull and tho thermometer falling.
