TKEATER.-The Theater last evening was
~; so well attended as it ought to have been,
considering the excellence of the performance
although the greater part of the seats were
filed. The Jolly farce "To Oblige Benson"
was played with much spirit, Miss Robin
s1ns Mrs. Southdown" being excellently
done, as was Mr.. Eiouin's Southdown. y
The ballads by Miss Robinson were charm
ingly rendered--as her songs always are.
i.dOuia's limitations of Japanese jugglery
were almost, if not quite as good as the
Original " Hy-Y ah-Ta- kee" show itself He
performed the butterfly trick as well as old
Almond Eye ever did it. The remainder of
the performance was all that could be de-
sired. The bill for this evening is "The
Youthful Queen ballads by Miss Robin
son; japanese Jugglery; and the pantomime
of "The Dancing Scotchman" This very
attractive bill should secure full house.

NEW YORK, Sept. II, 1865.
Hon. JOHN T. HOFFMAN, Mayor
DEAR SIR-On the 18th Of April last had the honor
to address you q note by order of the Executive
Committee Of this society, requesting the reduction
Of the reward offered for the delivery Of dogs at the
pound, foot Of Twenty-nfth street. to twenty-five
cents and fOrbiddlng persons under eighteen years
The grounds Of this application were that the
wholesale slaughter Of these animals was not re.
CURED by the security Of the public and that its
tinuance tended to the decentralization OF those en-
gagged Ia it-princpally children-while at the same
time 1t fosters another expenditure of public money

charge or the dog pound states that 9S dogs were
ceved during te season Just closed, costing to the
$3,s2s 90 In the summer Of 1867. ON the I'd of Sep
TENDER caused the following letter to be addressed
to the captains OF thirtyone police precinctssSir
Can you communicate to US any well authenticated
case OF hydrOphOba In dogs In your precinct during
the two months ending 18th Augusty''
To this inquiry twenty-nine captains replied that
no authentic case had occurred; but in the First
Thirteenth and Twenty-ffh there seems to exist an
impression that one case IN each precinct existed and
was treated as such by the destruction of the animal
without attempting to discredit the opinions thus
oHercu, would remind your Honor OF the fact
that dogs are frequently rendered mad by cruel
treatment in the streets, bnt such madness is not
hydrophobia, although killed under that impression.
1t results therefore, from the foregoing experience
that the lndiscriminate slaughter OF these harmless
and connding riends OF mankind hitherto practised
by order OF the city authorities, may be dispensed
with without detrment to the physical moral or
pecuniary Interests OF the public.
TO have savee to the city treasury about 49, 900
during two months may be regarded with contempt
by those who profit by lavish expenditure Of the
city funds; but 1t Is simply question OF time and
circumstance To swell this sum to colossal prOpOr-
lions. And to effect this 1t Ia only necessary TO in
