from Fort Hamilton. The great depth Of the
mud near where the stables are erected gave the
company no little difficulty, and the guns were
nearly mired several times before they could be

THEATER.- The new play, I" Our American
Cousin at Home, brought out In such spirited
style at the Theater, has proved great hit, de-
servedly, and Is repeated nightly TO give every
body an opportunity Of seeing it. So much loud
fun we presume was never before crowded into a
single performance, and the infinite vivacity Of
the piece causes 1t to run off with wonderful
spirit. The novel features Of an actual skating
carnival and an actual moving panorama are
among the noticeably good things with which
the piece Is crammed. The Dundreary family
come out stupendously in 1t, and Sothern has
worked this mine of fun TO its richest depths Go
and see sour American Cousin a. Homer by all
manner Of means.
