Lyceun.-Last Thursday evening
we attended Lyeeum in the southern
part of the town. Among the boys who
composed it, were Messrs. Mason Stone,
Hosea Bates, Milton Webster, Simeon
Farnsworth, and others even younger
than they.
The question was the same which is be-
ing discussed in the JOURNAL, and the de-
bate was warm and earnest. We believe
every member of the Society spoke on
the question.
The meetings are held in Mr.. Tubs
shop,--the upper Story of which is used
as dwelling house. With that regard
for ease which we always manifest, we Sc
licted an easy seat, when we were request
ed to make way for the ladies. Sure
enough, like other blessings, they decend-
ed from above; that is como down stairs,
and of course the Lyceum was no less in-
erestlng on account of their presence,

A SimiItude.-BLoBB visits the
JOURNAL office sometimes. He is fell

Blobbs thinks early rising humbug.
This morning he remarked to us, that
sunrise was like tie Mammoth Cave, in
Kentucky,--a very fin, thing in its way,
but seen by orly u few adventurous indi-
Yiduals.

A TBrRAT1oAL INoIDENT.-Some years
ago the manager Of well.regulated
Theatre" somewhere along the line of the
Erie Canal, engaged good.lookiug and
brisk young lady as supernumerary. 1t
happened that the young lady in question,
had formerly oficiated in the capacity as
hand" on board a canal boat, fact
which she was extremely anxious to con-
ceal. She evinced much anxiety to mas.
ter the details of her newly chosen pro.
fession, and soon exhibited more than
ordinary degree Of comic talent. She was
duly promoted, and in time became a
general favorits with both manager and
public.
One night she was announced to appear
in favorite part a. couple of boatman
found their way into the pit near the foot
lights, particularly anxious to see the new
famous eon,medisnne. The house was
crowded, and after the subsidence of the
general applause which greeted her ap.
psarance, one Of the boatmen slapped his
companion on the shoulder and with an
emphatic explstive exclaimed, loud enough

Bill, who was good deal interested in
the play, was out of all patience at this
persistent interruption on the part of Tom,

for him to keep quiet"
