The performance on Wednesday evening was but

case. There ore several reasons, assigned for this
want Of patronage. One, the most current If true,
can cast nought but deserved odium on the narrow
minded individuals, who were engaged in It,
Those however, who witnessed the performance
enjoyed rich treat. The various members excelled
themselves, and there were many points made, and
several scenes enacted, which would have received
high encomium, had the boards they were presented
on been in one Of our large ctes. We had intended
making an extended crtique but must defer it to a

Slavery Agitation.

Before the meeting of the "know Nothing ma

that il was one Of the great objects of the know

If we are to Judge from the act of the northern
portion of the members withdrawing, and publishing
platform of their own and the tone OF the know

southern know nothings aid them by keeping up the'r
organization when the effect will be, to DISTRACT tne
only party that can make head against them South'
ern know.nothings can expect no good TO result 70
the country from success, when their success would
still be minority as can be clearly demonstrated
by the electoral vote of the seceders compared with
that of those who remained, and made the southern
platform. Twelve states seeded, and these twelve
states have majority Of the electoral vote. In
those northern states every must see, ut oil pos

Our "Up River correspondent, ever, whose
"experience" has been recorded in these pages,
makes no mention of it. 1t is very. curious
but it is tue. The way of it was this Mr.
s., an old resident of saltwater, on the
Upper Hudson, introduced amcng his family
of hens few Shanghais, including rooster
of formidable dimensions, who had "run to legs
o good DEAL His crow" was peculiar, and
easily distinguished from that of the pro-eeles-
tial COCK. 1t came to be % second nature
for his owner to hear it in the early morning
watches, for which he was wont to wait, as for
the coming of a celestial morn" One morn
ing he had waited to hear repetition of the
usual summons, after being aroused by the
"sbrill clarion" once sounded; but he heard it
not again. The other roosters were doing
their best but the pre-eminent chanticleer
was still. Mr.. S. went out to see what
had caused the silence. He found the rooster
iv;no on his back, with both legs out of joint.
After an examination, he set both legs. The
cock walked off, and gave vent to his satlsiac-
ton in lusty crow. In the very ACT; ne
dropped as if he had been shot, he had
crowed his legs out again He was kept tnree
or four days and then killed. 1t was 700
much trouble" said Mr.. s., to set MIN
every time he crowed."
