ton and attracted considerable attention a,
the time of its emtree. We are informed
that the same cid jokes, that have been
cracked since the days Of Momus, were on
hand and re-cracked. 1t is strange that
people do not grow weary of these perform
ances, which have nothing of refining OF
elevatng character to recommend them
Well, it is!
PIcTURES.-Those of our readers who
