the operation of the Law will commence on the
I'd of May instead of the 4th Of July The
act says that the present liquor licenses shall
not be renewed, and as they all expire on the
lst proximo, it follows that the existing excise
law, which forbids the sale Of intoxicating
drinks in less quantities than FIVE gallons, will
then exclusively obtain. This is probably more
than our legislature bargained for; but law is
law, and the afflicted must grin and bear it.
| A now internal theory has been preached
hereby Father Walworth, son Of the late
Chancellor Of the, State, and a recent convert
to Romanism. He asserts that the place of
eternal torment is in the centre of the earth,
and iniers from the ito of the Increase Of
temperature in boring Artesian wells, that the
frontier of the eternal regions is some 81 miles
beneath the earth's surface, and that the tenn
perature on the " BOZ der line" is 1000 degrees

Hon. Erastus Brooks, of tho Express, hav-
ing asserted in his place in the State Sena te,
that Archbishop Hughes held church property
to the amount of s5,OO0,0OO, that prelate has
replied in 4 letter repletc with tho richest sar-
casm. He proposes, when the location of the

The Opera House is filed nightly at the re-
duced prices-parquette and dress circle 81 i
and the higher regions, soc. William Tell,
Rossini's last and best, has been brought out
creditably, with new scenery, and effective cho-
ruses. The troupe is very efficient one, with
the exception of Prima-Donna Stffanone, whose |
voice has lost its richness, and who is apt to

Our theatres are Well attended. Last eve |

most effective cast, and perfection of stage
appointments which are not to be found

buckram toadyism Of the old time race of Tu-

for S2e,000. The departure Of Commodore |
McCanley in the San Jacinto for Havana with |

occasions quite stir among our "fillibusters."
Many think there will be war with Spain, but
this is not at all to be feared.
