Nor Down ON THE BILLs.-Those
in attendance at Que of the professional
places of amusement so numerous in
Stockton last evening, were RECALLED and
had their risibles excited by an inter-
esting bit of by-play which had been
wholly omitted in the printed program
mes. A young couple, newly married,
or who ought. without unnecessary and
dangerous delay to become so, occupied
a prominent seat and most publicly and
profusely exchanged sweet dalliance
that would have driven love.lorn Romeo
and enamored Juliet to hide their di.
ninished heads. whether this per.
formance was designed as the strongest
possible contrast to the Green Monster,

wot not, but it is quite certain that
those present who were punctilious as
to the proprieties, will need ipecac o,

WAXING UP THE WRONG PAssEN-
GER.-Railway travelling has its Jokes
as we'll as its perils in Canada as we'll as
in the States, where every train is the
istage of a comedy, and sometimes a
tragedy, especially on the Erie. A Mon
treal paper says that an incident, which
blended the farce and the tragedy-in
fact, case of waking up the wrong
passenger with a vengeance, occurred
on the Grand Trunk night express
West, lately. A Southern gentleman,
accompanied by his wife, son, nurse
and three or four daughters, who was
going westward, took berths for the
whole party on the sleeping car. Him.
self and wife occupied berth at one
extremity Of the car, while the daugh-
tiers and nurse were compelled to seek
slumber (not that they found it) at the
other end, the cars being so crowded
that two contiguous sections could not
be obtained. The eldest daughters, aged
eighteen and nineteen respectively, oc-
cupied the lower berths, the nurse and
her charges the upper. Toward mid
night the nine year old woke up, and
went to the drinking fountain to get q
drink Of water; returning, she went to
the left hand berth instead of the right,
when oh, horror What sight met her
gaze? Her sister, as she supposed,
was snoring peacefully with her face
near masculine face, abundantly beard
ed. She tottered to her sire and whis-
pered the horrible tidings in his ear.
The trio arose, the hot blood of South
ern chivalry boiling in his veins, and
rushed to the indicated berth. 1t was
damn ably true, the same dark hair, the
same poplin dress; there was no room
for doubt, and he let the slumbering
man have it between the eyes, straight
from the shoulder, blow from the in
jured fathers arm which would have
felled an OK. The astonished man
awoke, aud strove to defend himself
from the shower of blows, but the sur
