The EXHIBITION LAST NIaHT.--About
$50 individuals were badly "soid," lost
night. One of the poorest apologies for
an entertainment that we have ever seen
in this city was presented. There was
vulgarity without wit; and attempts al
exposing the female person which were
very shallow. We hope the city authori.
ties will refuse to icense any more per.
formances of this nature. There was one
novelty or ouriosity-a tin violin and
banjo, which produced unusually sweet
sounds, while the bono limitations of 6
railroad train and horse race, were very
we'll done. E

Sinking a Dry Dock.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ll.-Ou Tuesday af-
teruoon a large dry dock at the hayward was
sunk to take on the steamship Pennsylvania
for repairs. During the evening several large
cakes of ice hoated undcr the dock, causing it
to overturn and doing considerable damage.
The dock uow lies on lis side and cannot be
rghted for several days. One workman, whose
name could not be asccrtained, has been miss
ing since the occurrence, and i. is feared has
been drowned. A large force of workmcn were
employed yesterday on the work. AS this is
the only dock on the Delaware, the Pennsyl-

AN IRON WEDDING. Busby, Of Trenton,
celebrated his iron wedding one day last
week, and invited about one hundred aud
twenty guests to the wedding. OF course,
each person felt compelled to bring a present Of
some kind aud each did. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith came, they handed Busby pair Of fiat
irons. When Mr. and Mrs. Jones arrived, they
also had pair of fat-irous. All hands laugh
ed at the coincidence, aud there was great
merriment when the Browns arrived with two
pairs of fat-irons; but when Mr.. and Mrs. hob
inson came 10, with another pair OF fat-lrons,
the laughter came perfectly convuIslve.
There was, however, something less amusing
about il when the Thompsous arrived with four
flt-rons wrapped In brown paper. And BUS
by's face actually looked grave when the three
| Johnson girls were usher@d into the parlor car
| ryng fat iron apiece. Each one OF the sue
ccedlng guests brought fat.lrous, and then
was 40 break 10 the continuance until
old Mr.. CURLY came from Philadelphia
with a cast-ron cow-bel; aud at any other
time he would have treated such present
with scorn, but now he was actually grateful to
Mr.. CURLY, and he was about to embrace
him, when the Walshingh hams came with
the new kind of doube-pontcd tiat'lrous
with wooden handles. And all the rest oil
the guests brought the same articles ex
ccrt Mr. Rugby, aud he had with him
patent stand for holding hat-irons. Busby
got madden and madden every minute, and
By the time the company had all arrived
be was nearly insane with rage, and he went to

found they had two hundred aud thirteen HIT
irons, one stand and coW-bcll. And now
the Busbys have cut the Smiths, and Browns,
and Jacksous, and Thompsons and the
rest entirely, for they arc convinced that
there was a preconcerted design to play trick
! upon them. The fact, however, is that the
hardware stores in the place had an overstock
of flat irons, and sold them at an abSurdy low
figure, and Busby's freuds went for The cheap
est thing they could 6nd, as people always do
on such occasions. Busby thinks ne will not
