PATRONIzING THE DRAMA.-The citizens
of Montgomery, we infer, are theatre-going
people. AT the close of late engagement in
that city, benefit was given to the manager,
who being called before the curtain, addressed
his audiance as follows:
Ladies and Gentleman 1t affords me
much pleasure to return you my thanks.

GENTEEL ELPRoFEssIoNs.-Now-a-days, pa
rents entertain a silly notion that their chill
dren must be instructed in genteel profess
sion; they repudiate the vulgar" notion of
bringing boy up as carpenter, cabinet
maker, shipwright, or in fact any occupation
that involves labor. He must be educated
for the church, the bar, the law, or for the
post of civil engineer-heuce those profess
sions are overrun, and hundreds, nay, thous-
ands of young men are burthen upon thoir
families, being unable to find anything to do.
Copyists, as class, are badly paid for their
services; but as theirs is a mechanical occu-
patton. requiring little exercise of the mind,
it cannot reasonably be expected that they
should receive the wages of carpenter or
any other skilful mechanic. Genteel profess
sion, in few years, will not be sought after
by fathers and mothers for their sons, as a
good investment for the capital expended up
on their education

PAINFUL ScENE.-BURNING OF MOTH
Err AND HER CHILD,-A sad affair occurred
in the town of Allcppo, near Steuoenvlile'
Ohio, not long since. Mr. Peter Lyons. who
resided in somewhat secluded locality, went
out on his daily business in the morning, lea
wing his wife and young child at home On
returning. several hours after, when he came
in sight of his place he saw column of light
smoke wreathing up into the sunlight from
the grove where his home was situated, and
hurrying forward. perceived nothing but pile
of smoking rafters where his house had been
In the road. near the ruins. lay his wife, wri-
thing in agony, with her clothes in cinders,
and her flesh burned to crisp in many pia-
ces Her child was not to be seen; but at
terwards, in raking over the ashes of the de-
stroyed habitation, a few white bones were
discove red-all that was left of the little crea-
ture. Mrs Lyons was removed to neigh
boris house where, at last accounts, she was
still lingering in great distress, and not e',-
pected to survive. From what could be gath
cred from the unfortunate woman, it appears
that the fire originated in the upper part of
the building, and that, on discovering it, she
threw her child on a bed and hastily ran out
for some water. The progress of the flames
was almost unparalleled in rapidity; and on
her return, seeing all hope of extinguishing
the fire at al end, she also found, to her hor-
ror, that she could not reach the room where
she had left the child. She made several des-
perate attempts. but the flames at last caught
her dress, and the instinct of self f-preseryation
then caused her to escape from the dwelling,
and to rush along the road, calling for help,
i'll the torture of her blazing garments over
powered her, and she fell where her husband
found her.

OBITUARY.
Ni20-1un.

At the residence of his father, in this
place. Mr.. JOHN COLLINS, aged 90 years.
The volume of life has rarely opened with
more promise than in the case of him, whose
early and sudden death we are called upon to
mourn. He had closed his collegiate career
with honor, and returned to the parental roof,
full Of high hopes and manly ambition. AL
ready had he made himself master of the
most abstruse volumes of Law, and, tho he
had not yet attained his majority, Was fast
preparing to enter the ranks of his profess
sion. His intimate friends, ,-unobtrusiv as
he was-could not fail to see in his practical
good sense, his sound and logical manner Of
treating questions, an indication of the COM
pletest success In after life.
But genious when mingled with the clods
of the valley, however it may fall upon the
ear of the world, affords no consolation to
mourning friends. Turn we, then, to ex-
anime the life and character of our departed
friend. He ,oas pious! He had the simpli-
city aud truthfulncss of child; while his
frank and manly bearing secured to him all
the respect and confidence due to those of
ripper years. During short but intimate
acquaintance, the writer never heard him ut
ter word which might not be inscribed on
his headstone and do honor to his memory
No profaue or obscene word ever polluted his
lips, nor ever so much as an unkind express
sion. He had no enemies-for he deserved
none What wonder then that all who gazed
on his remains after 8: deaths efacing fingers"
had swept the lines Of his manly features
felt a grief that would not be controlled
May Heaven impart to his friends resigna-
ton and to US who remain to buffet with
the world as pure ''walk and conversation"
as his j.
