THEATRE.-Notwithstanding the rain last
evening, there was the largest and most fash
ionable audience Of the week present at Deer
ing Hall, to witness the play Of "Leah, the
Forsaken." Miss Avonia Jones in her imper-
sonation of the Jewish Maiden Leah added
new laurels to her fame. Her rendition of it
was the handsomest acting we have seen in
this city, and the repeated plaudits Of the au-
dience testified their appreciation OF her efforts.
1t was complete triumph for this great ar
tiste. The play viii be repeated this evening,
and we anticipate another tull house. n

e NOVEL LARcENY.--A gentleman up town
who has noble large Newfoundland dog, has
noticed of late that after letting him out in
the morning he would start down town, and
soon after return with his mouth full of news
papers, picked up on peoples doorsteps. II
is remarkable that the dog always selects the
Press, never having brought home an argus
or any paper of that persuasion. It must be
confessed that while he thus betrays good
taste, and shows his unimpeached loyalty. he
is sadly addicted to one copperhesd trick-that
