A Coon IDEA FOR sHowmEN.-
Albert Smith, the director Of one Of
the most amusing and successful euter-
tainments in London, "Tho Ascent Of
Mount BLANC" in recent address to
the audience, ascribed part of his
success to change he had made in
conditions Of admission. Instead of
charging more than the usual price
for reserved seats, taken before hand,
he charged less, bee; use, as he said,
IF any one takes the trouble to come
before hand for his place, he ought to
be compensated for that trouble. He
enjoys some advantage over those who
come late, and the best form in which
to put that Advantage is to let him
have his place at a lower rate" The
consequence of this arrangement was
that all his reserved seats, and great
many more, were promptly taken,
people being eager to avail themselves
not only Of tho security of a seat, but
also Of the slight reduction in price.

SoUNp1SG THE RIVER. " esterdav

morning through the kindness Of Capt
T. NJ. Kent of the State boat, Gov.
Hebert, and in company with Hon. j.
N. Carregan, we were invested with a
boat-a couple Of stout hands and q
line, to make soundings Of the river,
in order to ascertain the truth of the
statement in reference to the sand bar
said to be forming opposite the ltaer
limit of the city. Starting across from
the new wharf we made 13 soundings,
with the following results, about TWEEN
ty feet from shore 8 fathoms, then 81
6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10, IS, II, II, 10, 7.
The soundings were taken about eqni
distant, andSnearly in a straight line.
Returning we dropped down to the
southern limit Of the town, where we
found 8, 8, o., 10, 10, 10, II, 10, 10,
8, 10, 8, 8, s, 81, fathoms. The
sand bar referred to by fishermen, ev-
identity begins nearly opposite the low
er saw mill, and extends to the point
below. From the first soundings ia
ken, it will be seen that the channel,
opposite the town is more than three
quarters Of the way over the stream,
then it extends diagonally across,
throwing the full strength of the cur
rent il the bend below Hope Estate.
That any levy can ever be made to
keep the stream from going through
at that point, is very problematical.
BURNING OF PLAcIDEs VARIETIES.
On Tuesday morning last this beau
tiful little temple dedicated to the mt
ses was consumed by fire. Several
adjacent buildings were destroyed
with it. - /
We regret the calamity as much as
the good citizens Of the Crescent City
it is loss, 1--WE may say it with pro
priety) to the whole State; for where
is the country merchant, planter, Or
mechanic, who has in years past visit
ed the emporium for recreation and
pleasure, who has not been reasonably
and proftably entertained for an hour
at Placiles?
When we come to consider the
common degeneracy in houses, as well
as things, the loss is irreperable.--
Perhaps one horse show will take
the place Of it, or a building like the
new St. Charles is to the old St..
Charles Theatre. a =.-5s.q.rs

it is that orange trees d5snot adorn

The Addison Murder

We find in the Middlebury Register tn,
following further particulars Of the horrid
murder chroniced in the Free Press last
week -
Pond is n young man Of about thirtv-two
and resided with his father, a respectable
farmer IN the east part of the town Of Addi-
son. Mr.. Cheney, who lived in the same
town. had. with his wife, been spending part
of the day at Mr.. Ponds, by invitation. All
were apparently most friendly, and nothing
occurred to excite suspicion of any evil intent
! As Cheney was leading out his horse, pre-
paratory to his departure, the elder Pond
went for pail of water for the horse, and
returning saw his son at Il corner of one OF
| the buildings, bent upon one knee, with his
gun pointed at Cheney, who was passing
| but = few feet from him. On the instant the
gun was discharged and Cheney fell dead
! his left side literally riddlcd with buck-shot
! The charge entered his back Just below the
shoulder. and portion Of it must have
passed through the heart. Mr., Van Wort,
who was u little distance off, was the first to
reach the body, and found it entirely lilcless.
Pond fled to the woods, but subsequently,
returned IN the night. and was arrested. He
is now in jail, in this village, awaiting his
trial for murder. having been brought here
| Oh !IOHEuN, III t'lt CuStO'lN Vi 'ilcTlH NiuTcl.
4 corOner's inquest was held ON Sunday
evening, before George Wilmarth, ESD The
jury gave their verdict. that thc.dcceascd was
ftloninusly killed by Sheldon Pond. He was

the gun having been thus heavily loaded two
or three days previous, attracting the notice
of the mother Of the accused. by the mrnucr
in which it was charged. To her inquiries
as to the purpose of thus loading it, he re-
turned only II short and unsatisfactory
answer.
We learn that the wife of Cheney had for
merlv lived in the family of Ponds fathers,
and that she had refused his offers of mar
riage, giving her preference to Cheney. II
this statement is correct it probably affords a
clue to the motive Of this horrible crime.
As to the principle facts in the case, the
evidence is clear and direct. Whether the
plea of insanity will avail to secure Pond :
ncquittal, it is not our province to judge.
The Brandon Post contains the following
additional particulars.
| The most probable cause for the deed which
we have heard is Mr. Pond senior talked Of
letting his farm to Mr. Cheney against tn,
