persusdes the snake to show him the cave,

the service the farmer has rendered her.
They arrive at the hole, the fox glides in,
and the snake follows, and shows him all
the iptricacies Of the cave. Just then the
fox slips out, and before the snake can
turn round, the farmer, at the fox's sug-
gestion. quickly shuts up the hole. The
farmer being thus saved, the fox demands
that in the evening the hen house Is 70 be
left open for him.
The farmer gets home, tells his wife
what has happened, and what he had
pledged the FOX for his service. "The
chickens and geese are mine," says the
woman; "you can't give them away"
Nevertheless, the farmer, determined to
keep his word, leaves the chicken house
open. But the wife. noticing It, goes
with the fox, and when after dark, rely
ing on the farmers good faith, he comes
sneaking along, they close the door upon
him, and beat, and finally catch him.

A D1sGRAcEFuL ScENB.-Washington
Hall last night was the scene of one OF
the most disgraceful performances it has
ever been our duty to record. An en-
tertainment by an itinerant band of
negro minstrels, called Morrison's Min
strels. had been announced, and quite q
large audience gathered to hear and see
it, drawn by the announcement OF such
names as Unsworth, and Forrest and
other stars in the profession. AT the
hour of commencing, the manager
came forward and said that, owing to
the absence of their first violinlst, who
had unaccountably disappeared, they
world be unable to perform, but If the
audience would go out slowly, SO that IT
could lie lone, each person would re-
ceiye his ticket on presentation Of which
at the box office the money would he
repaid. Then ,ensued a scene which
bear, description. The entire audi
enev, as il moved by one idea, made a
rush for the door. The ticket taker
was swept down stairs before the resist
! less mass, and surge was made for the
box office door to break it open. The
ticket box was captured by lot oil
bows, who broke it open, took out the
tickets, and demanded and received
money for them. After he had paid
out more money than he had received,
the manager shut down the window,
and those who failed to get their money
commenced to raise a row, and to play
for even" One Of them went off with
the base drum, others seized on various
brass instruments, and five stalwart tel-
lows carried away the double bass
"the bull fiddle" as they called it. The
whole performance was disgrace TO
Wheeling. We are satisfied that the
showmen intended to act honora,
bly, and honestly, and to return
every cent to the audience, but the &C
ton of the audience themselves pre-
vented that We heard little rats who
had stolen the tickets and received the
money on them talking together'in this
wise: 81 say, Billy, how much did you
get" 81 got fifty cents. "W-a,a-a-t.
