THEATRICAL SENSATION.

On Saturday evening, at theatre in this city,
says the Pittsburg Chronicle of last evening" one
of the attractions was gymnastic performance
by man and two women. The performers used
queerly-shaped iron framework, which was
properly suspended from the ceiling, and ex-
tended its length across the house, above the
audience in the orchestra chairs. In one act the
man hung by his legs from one end of the frame,
and was to catch with his hands, by the ankles,
one of the women who swung towards him off a
small trapeze, suspended from the other end of
the frame. Unfortunately the attempt failed,
and the woman was pitched headong towards
the floor AS it so chanced that part of the house
was crowded, and the audience spread out their
arms and caught her. If the seats in that part
had been empty as frequently happens, the girl
must have sustained serious injury, if not loss of
life. Although it may not be quite proper for
women to engage in such dangerous gymnastics
still so long as they do they have right to have
proper precautions taken for their safety, and
in the of all trapeze and other perilous per-
formanees the law should require that netting
should be spread TO catch the performers if
they fall,

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE.
Progress of the New Institution.


lady whose opportunities for accuracy of
statement are excellent has stated the following
facts concerning the progress of "Swarthmore, ;"
the Friends College in Delaware county, Pal
The institution now contains about $50 pupils.
The boys department is full and the girls has
only one or two vacancies. considerable ma
jority of the whole number are members of the
Society of Friends. The faculty includes sixteen
professors of whom ten are women, the chair of
mathematics being filled by one of these. The
girls in the institution make progress in their
studies fully equal to the boys, and, as a rule
stand higher in the classes in all departments.
The boys say that this is because the girls work
harder-"While we play, they study" AS to
this it may be objected that in order to preserve
health, sufficient outdoor exercise and recrea-
tion is an absolute necessity, and that overwork
in study is error always to be avoided
Numerous Improvements are now in progress
about the institution, and the foundation of a
large building for gymnasium has been laid
II will be ready for use soon The walks
around the grounds have been laid out, and
filled with solid and enduring cement of
gravel and asphaltum Among the ornamental
and shade trees, ii may be remarked, with re-
gret, that the Two young oaks, growing from
acorns brought by James Mott, of Philadelphia
from England, and planted in the autumn of
1869, at the formal opening of the institution,
by his venerable widow Lucretia Mott, are
