Near Colmar stood IN days OF yore
\ tower 80 sombre and so boar
az asnect which the land appalled,,
And II was the witch-tower calhed.
There carried On wierd work
The wizard and the witches,
With bosom and with fork,
With gold and magic switches,
The tower long since has disappeared.
Nor are the Wltcnes now much feared,
Netoft, when Tor dear midnight's sake,
The calm full moon alone's awake,
There rises on the strand
A rushing ana a rafting,
A tramplug on the sand,
A busting and prarli!ne.
And loi anon, like rocset-hre,
The tower starts up and the wild chnH
With hurried dance surround the tort,
Mo music, song. anu madueninS sport
They ride upon their brooms
East helter-skelter pranclug,
Gathering liRe mills or looms.
Humming as they re advancing.
And ever louder swells their song.
And ever madder leaps the tnrong,
Throughout the whole OF llyei9hs night
Until the sun shows Droea uAyhslti
Then they hush up anon.
Diving and disappearing,
And are now seen oy none
Til the text tull moons nearing.

IN so short time marked improvement in the
workings of the scenery and those Oh the stage
was noticed, The piece, though closing at a
little after IL O'Clock on Monday night, which
was far in advance in point of time of its first
production in New York, was concluded at a
more seasonable hour last night
The WALNUT STREET THEATRE, notwithstand-
ing the immense gains at the Chestnut and the
American, had good house on the occa-
sion of the fourteenth performance of the
Back Crook at this establishment. Everything
in the play is now working smoothly, and it is
given with much eclat on each production. The
dancing of Diani and Leah was perfectly cap
tivating, and each received an encore.
AT THE AMERICAN the Can-can, with new
faces, still continues, and the houses are
crowded nightly. There is, in addition, the
usual 0lio entertainments.
