ADJUSTMENTS IN NEW YoRK.-A New

1AnlCoEn1ENIo In NEW 4Ohh. ~ NEW
York paper says:
'"The receipts at eight theatres in
New York during the summer season
June, July and August-amounted
to over $400, 900. At all the places
of amusement in the city, they pro-
badly amounted to $500, 900. The
summer season is the dullest in the
year, but the theatres seem to make
it pay, nevertheless. 100000 a
year would be moderate estimate of
the expenditures in this city on
theatres, the opera and the concert
halls. Three-fourths of this amount
go to the theatres, and about two
thirds of the residue to the opera.
The present season has thus far been
one of the most prosperous to ma
nagers that they have had in many
years. There is moro economy in
the households of the middle classes
than there was last year or the year
before, but most people manage to
spare enough from their income or
their savings to purchase at least one
evenings amusement each week."

the most devoted members of this Lodge
and brothers Of the Order. Our late bro
ther, DEIDRICH HORSTMANN, is no
longer among the living on earth; his
body reposes in the narrow confines Of the
tomb, and his spirit has departed to
''That undiscovered country, from whose
bourn
No traveller returns"
AS he had lived a quiet and consistent
life, 30, we hope, his soul departed-shel-
tered under the shield Of faith, with firm
hold on the anchor nf hope, and clothed in
the vesture Of charity. Our loss is, then,
his eternal gain.
Whereas, it has thus pleased the su-
preme God, whose all-seeing eye is ever
upon his creatures, and whose dispensa-
tions, though inscrutable, are always in
tended for our good; be it, therefore,
Resoloed, That, while we bow in humble
submission to the Divine will, the remem
brance Of the many virtues of our deceased
brother, and of his unselfish devotion to
the noble tencts of our Order, shall stimu-
late us to renewed exertions in dissemi-
mating the great principles Of Friendship,
Love and Truth.
Resolued, That the members OF this
Lodge wear the usual badge Of mourning
for thirty days, and that a blank page in
our minute book be inscribed with his
name and dedicated to his memory.
Resolued, That q copy Of this preamble
and these resolutions be forwarded, by the
Secretary, to the relatives of the deceased,
and the same bo published in the city
papers. +. w. PAPE, Sec'y.
