wsHAr ~ POISONING. socrrrY,

That a subtle and dangerous poison
permeates our social system is pain
fully apparent to the most casual OBJ
server. 1t is well for us to examine
into and note the source from whence
comes tine stream which is deflng the
purity of heart and eorrupting the
standard of intellectual recreation IN
this country. The most fruitful and
pernicious cause Of the loose notions
OF propriety, morality and religion
which are to he seen on every hand is,
first, the character of the amusemcnts
of larger class Of people, Their APP
petites and imaginations are influenced
by lascivious and indecent dances on
the stage. The old Mshioued ideas of
what constitutes respectabiity are held
up to ridicule by the naked drama,
which goes hand in hand with the
worst forms Of vice. The simple
minded and Ignorant, are not only cor
rupted, but the intelligent may have
their sensibilities blunted by their in
diligence in the amusemenis common
in too many places. There is u d'sp ).
s sition to invest the keepers of these
places and the people who perform in
them, with some Of the respectable
attributes Of artists. They are
I honored In n small way, and
even give themselves the airs OF genu-
Inc artists Nothing is calculated to
sap the foundations of society like
these places. Men Of family, who
/ stand high.in their'communilies, who
would blush with shame to be mem
TONED IN printas CONSTANT visitors, do
not hesitate to disgrace Themselves and
their children by being scen IN them.

DURING the consideration OF the
business on the speakers table on
Thursday morning, just before the nd
journment (says special to the News
in the house, the senate bill to reor-
gani2e the judicial districts of Texas
was reached in its order. This divided
the state ON the line of the Texas Cen
trail road. Herndon moved to refer
the bill to the committee or the Judi.
ciary, which killed it. Had the Texas
delegation agreed on the provisions Of

 Woodbury celebrates her centuries. One hundred years ago, 150 men of an- clent Woodbury marched to garrison Forts Ticonderoga and Grown Point, which had previously been taken under the lead ership of two natives of Woodbury,- Cols Etban Allen and Seth Warner.
 A platoon of the descendants of the Revolutionary heroes, with fife and drum, and banner flying, will march into town, on Wednesday, June 3Oth, at 7 o'clock, p. m., among whom will be Mir. Phineas s. Bradley, son of the third man who fol lowed Ethan Allen into Fort Ticonderoga, ''In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.
 The veterans will be received by the la. dies, at the Town Haul, and supper will then be served to them, and their friends who have tickets. The veterans will be welcomed, on their arrival at the hall, in short speech, and after the cloth is re- moved, short speeches will be delivered by several gentlemen.
 Then will follow the grand reception oi the olden time in Revolutionary costumes, the ancient spelling school, the ancient singing school, and various representa- tions of the antique manners and costumes.
 Delegations from the towns composing the ancient town of Woodbury are respect. fully invited to attend. c.

The valuable saws and machinery,-in fact everything the shop contained, was consumed. Mir. Pa rent was himself in Norfolk and knew nothing of 1t until his return few hours later. It was supposed to have been set on fire about midnight but of course the villain who caused this ruin is unknowa.

Church Hill district has recently been the theatre of some aground and lofty tumbling." MT. John Ryker mounted to the highest loft of his barn, and descended the quickest way possible, only haltlng at the first stopping place to roll over and continue his descent few feet further. A man working near by heard him strike the floor and went to his assistance. He found him insensible, with his head part ly doubled beneath him. At first the doctor feared there was serious injury of the spine, but the way he is now setting tobacco, and defying the cut worm proves he has pretty strong backbone yet.
 The other instance was that of Geo. Clark's little boy tumbling from a cham Der window in the second story of his grandmother's house into a flower bed beneath. The only damage was thorough scare to his auntie, and a little fright for himself.

 On Saturday, the 18th inst, MT. O.. Swift's store was burglafiously entered by prying open the door and breaking the lock, and taking small amount of goods.
