THE DRAMATIC Seasonal crowded
house witnessed the representation OF For
mnsa by Mr.. Ford's company last night !;
and we are ready TO affirm that many who
We're there. while they admired the fine
acting OF Mr.. MAYO and Miss Hawthorne.
and were delighted with the terminating
scene, at the same time wished they had
STAYED at home. Formosa is not play for
orr wives and sisters to sec. and it suits
New York far better than Richmond.
II is 4 pleasure to announce that very
different kind Of play will be presented to-
night. 1t is the favoritc drama of Bonci-
cault, entitled ''Thc Streets of New York" :;
in which Mr Mayo appears in his great role
Of Badger. We have enioyed Mavo's Badger
almost as much rs JeticrSon's Pip Van
Wrinkle; and those who miss seeing him
tonight viii miss capital piece Of acting.
The announcement that this is Navo'S
benetit-night win probably crowd the
Theatre.

A Remedy for Snake Bites.

A Melbourne (Australia) news
paper says that Professor Halford
has discovered ammonia to be a
perfect antidote for the bite of
poisonous snakes, and that several
cures have been wrought with it.
One of these is described. A rail
way laborer was bitten by brown
snake. He soon became drowsy
and laid down. His comrades
becoming alarmed sent for medi-
cal assistance, but by the time it
arrived the man was comatose,
and his lower extremities para
Iyzed. GaIvanism and other usu-
al remedies were applied, bat with
out effect, the poison having ob-
tanned too strong a hold on the sys-
TEN to yield to any treatment en-
ployed. In this extremity the
medical man first called in caused
Professor Halford to be telegraphed
for. The Professor Immediately
repaired to the place and made an
operation as follows: An incis-
ion was made through the skin,
exposing the superficial radial vein
and the point OF the syringe being
intl sduced into the vein, the In
lection (of ammonia) was COM
pIeted. The beneficial effect was
marvellous and immediate. From
an almost pulseless state. and from
a stupol verging on death, the
