Terrible Scene in a Theatre.

A writer from Europe gives the following
description of the scene at Leghorn, where,
in an agony of causeless alarm, one hundred
men of a crowd were irampled 10 death, and
FIVE hundred wounded:
The house was crowded. The play TIA
king of Sebaslopol" The first act went off
well; battery after battery exploded, and the
spectacle made the thealreIiag wiih,applause.
All eyes were now TUNED 10 see them take
the Malakof. AT last Il was siormed. The
soldiers rushed 10, then the explosion, amid
the widest cheers. Al that moment spark
caught the scenes, they blazsd, the audience
thought 1t a part Of the play, and cheered the
louder, the scene was so notural Alas! il
was too perfect. Another moment they saw
their mistake, wild cry Of misery drowned
the applause. Higher and higher 1t rose,
maddening The spectators with fright. Five
minutes more and the fire was distinguished,
but the spectators, like heard of bufalces,
like panic stricken army, like flock OF
sheep before wolves, like passengers from a
sinking ship, losing all though. but OF self
preservation, rushed from the seats. The
shrieks of women, the shrilI cry of children,
The hoarse voices of men, all struggling for
life, presented scene not descrbable. Some
threw themselves from the boxes into the
PIT, killing themselves and crushing those be-
meath them. No judgment, no forelhough,;
out OF the windows, over the lodges, stamp
ing each other 10 death. The sentiuels were
ordered 10 stop the passage with bayonets.
Thus planted, those in the front ranks were
run through and through, and the soldiefs,
with the rest, were mutilatsd with the feet Of
hundreds %

THE new year has come, and the Carrier-boy
Is here with his tale of the times;
To wish you A HAPPY NEW YEAR, and away
With his song of the dollars and dimes:---
10 wish the poor wealth-with the sick
pray for health,
And give all advice for the best - :.
To wish long life to the old and young
married
And short single life to the rest.
The new year, no doubt, viii be much like

Ther'll be murders and riots, and sleighing
and balls, e.s.-
And Christmas for young girls and boys.
Young people viii dance, and the merry
ones sing ~
Whenever the spirit shall move:
No matter what GROWERS and grumblers
People say Ills the age to improve.
In Congress hundred are aiming to fill
The Presidents chair for while,
And think '',here's good time coming"
for them
If their cake doesn't sour and 'spile.'
And in bar-rooms the patriots will fatter
and fawn,
The adear people" loud extolling,
Till the Esprit" get up and the spirit get

And at Harrisburg there'll be log-rolling.

Arlssian Wells ii ,hs Desert.

The great iaesert of Sahara, the
ltsrrof Of travellers, Is arpsreutly
destined, under madern science. to
Ibscome inhabited .inn., many parts
and to yisld food, not only for the
travellers but the dvellefs in many
pastuied villages. The French have
been experimenting ir boring for
water artesian wells-ins some OF
the oases, aud their efforts have
been crowned with success,
The Moniteur Algerien gives an
interesting account of the newly
bored we'll in the province Of Ceustan-
tine. The FIRST well was made in
the oasis near Tamerna by detach-
Iment ofsoldisrs,operations having been
commenced in May, 1856 In two
momhsthey reached asupply of water
sLich beiiedpnp and discharged J..
O66 wiue gallons per minute. ThJ
joy OF the Arab natives was upboun-
ded at the news, which spread With
Iuuexampivd rapidity, and they came
from great distauea to Witness the
miracle. The marqbonts OF priests
held solemn service, and gave it
the name Of .the well Of peace
-They thanked the soldiers in the
presence Of the people, gate them
a banquet, and escorted them III
procession to the frontier ef the oasis.
- In another. oasis-that Of Sidi-
Naehed which had been completely
ruined by drought, o well Kss also
bored; and when the soldiers annonc-
ed the rising Of the waters, the na-
tiyes rushed to it in crowds, plunged
ioto the stream, and mothers bathed
their children in it, to obtain a bless
ing. 1t has been called ethe well of
and delivers about l,T42
gallons per minute. In another oasis
a well has also been bored, which
delivers l76 gallons per nliuute; and
here some of the tribes commenced
at once to plaat date.2alm trees, and
give up their former nemadic life.
In all likelihood these ariesian wells
will work social revolution in the
manners of the rowing children of
the desert. Instead Of wandering
te plaee--fom oasis to oasis
lin search of pasture for their
ilocks and herds, as their ancestors
before them had done for centuries,
they will cluster round these fertiliz-
ing springs in vell-built cots. and
exchange the hunters spear for the
plow of the farmer, and thus take
steps towards civilization.

eight members, at the present ratio of

Wisconsin, like Michigan, polled more
votes at the last election than Massachu;
