Of the weather the Amphitheater was not as densely
crowded last night as twas thenght before. TWAS,
however, much more crowded than any other place Of
amusement, and the audience were kept in ecstaces

Marsh Children--of Master George and Miss Louise
and Mary In particular. Georges Toodles was
actually miraculous for child so small He kept the
house in special uproar all the time he was on the
stage. I Black Eyed Susan was given beautifully
and spritedly, as before--the honors being divided
between Master George as Gnattrain Miss Louise as
William, and Miss Mary Marsh as Susan. 1t is

children We never saw their like before. The same

ON SPRING.

OH tlie spring time is coming
With song, bird, bee and flower;
And the long bright days are dawning
On grove aud sun-lit bower;
On the hill top, in the meadow
ItA halmy breeze will play,
Ever bringing some sweet token
From opening leaf und spray.
oh! the spring time is coming,
With Peace on It's golden wing;
Wnr-storm huslid and red flag furled.
We may renp. and work and sing;
While we watch the cornfields ripen
Meath the sunHght's kindly ray,
Let US thank the hand that scatters
These blessings on our way.
Oh! the spring time is bringing
Joy to childhood and to sage,
Fresh bloom and hope to sunny youth,
And light for the path OF age;
Bursts of music from the greenwood,
And soft murmurs from the stream
All these tell us Of the spring time,
Brief and bright as life's first dream.

FOUNTAIN or BLOOD TN A CAVERN, I

i. q. Squiros' notes on Central America
describe wonderful effrsion Of fluid re.
sembling blood near the town Of Vi,ud, in
tl,c State of Honduras. 1t appears that
thcro is continually oozing and dropping
from the roof Of cavern rcd LIQUID
which upon falling coagulates SO as to pre-
cisely resemble blood. Like blood it cor
rupts, insects deposit their larvn in it, and
dogs and buzzards resort TO tho cavern to
eat it. Attempts:have several times been
made to obtain sopne Of this liquid for the
purpose Of analysis, but in all cases With
out success, in consequence of its rapid de-
composition, whereby the bottles contain
ing it were broken. The small cavern or
grotto during the day is visited by buzzards
and hawks, and at night by multitude of
vampire bats for the purpose of feeding on
the unnatural blood. tits situated on the
border of a'rivulet, which it keeps Redeemed
with small flow of the liquid, which has
tho color, taste and smell of blood In ap-
proaching the grotto, "a disagreesble odor
is observed, and when it is. reached there
may be some pools Of the apparent blood
in state of coagulation. Dogs eat i,
eagerly. -e
The peculiarities of the liquid are con,
sidered due to the rapid generation in this
grotto of some very prolific species of in.
fusoria. The California State Journal, re.
marking on the above, observes that the
