A writer in the Enquirer of last week.. declining to ''discuss the moral of the Theater," goes on to say "It has always had it's advocates, and ministers and dea- cons enough among it's attendants.to sanc- tify it." Will your correspondent inform us how many ministers and deacons" are "enough to sanetify" theater 36x64, and 30 feet high in the ridge? And does it require mixture of ministers and deacons?" and in what proportion? Or could "deacons" alone effect this sanctif- cation, if enough of them were in attend ance? And do they produce this result. by the observation of certain rites, by genufexions, lustrations, manipulations; or will the simple aroma of their presence be sufficient? Our new Hall is now near ly complete. It is comfortably warmed, supplied with seats, and we'll ventilated. If we can now secure this crowning grace of "sanctlfcation" by the distribution of limited number of dead-head tickets, we we will not spare the expense. Some weeks since, invited the favorable con sideration of those who regard themselves as specially religious, to the work in which we are engaged. We aim to make life more interesting and home among our hills more desirable to the sons and daughters of Washington and the sur rounding towns, by giving innocent and and moral, if not excellent entertainments in our new Hall. In behalf of my associ- ates in the work, I appeal to the one hun dred and fifteen who came down from Litchfeld in the clustering wind of last Thursday night: to the hundred ia at- tendance from other towns on that and other occasions, have we done anything to "lower the ebb of your vital piety?" have we "sowed any tares" in the virgin soil of your heartsa How absurd, not to say silly! Why should those who assume to possess about all the 'svital piety'' there is left, throw sanctimonious stones at us for attempting to do little good, even if not in the way which is dearest to them. If your prayer meetings are lean, put little of the ''vital piety" of Uncle Tom and Neighbor lockwood into them. To our friends who came from far on one of those nights for which March received the name of Lion, (and especially to the car loads of people who abandoned the delights of Litchfeld hill, ''where the balmy zephyrs breathed" about that time, to spend five hours in our crowded Hall), Tn behalf of the Dramatic Association of old Judea. tender thanks for their com. ing, for their orderly and quiet attention. and for the patience with which they sat so still till midnight. I should be happy to hear that they felt compensated for all their sufterings. Whenever you wish an other such excursion, send reasonable notice to Your Friend,

 MR. ED1ToR:-I have read with much interest the "Chats on House Plants" as they have appeared from time to time
 I was especially interested in the last one, or that part of it which mentions her experience with that abonsinable little red spider. had quite an experience with the same little insect three or more years ago.
 only had few plants. had love- ly carnation, just rooted, given me, and prized it very highly. It grew nicely un- til it was covered with scores of buds, one of which was just beginning to open; and then it dropped. What does aH is was the oft repeated question. I soon found this same little spiders webs. and thou sands of them, not only on the pink, but on my Rose bushes, Fuchias, Oxalis, and even my Cactus. tried drenching many times, but in few days or weeks I would find they were still there. My best plants died, or so nearly, that gave them up as lost, and put them in the stove. The spiders throve and increased as we'll out doors-in summer-as anywhere. When fall came I put my Cactus and Oxalis and what was left of my Fuchias in the cellar, and the spiders have never troubled me since. I suppose they couldn't manage to winter in cool cellar.
 l got new supply of plants but, mind you, took care not 10 have any more plants from where they were troubled with spiders.
 If B. l.. s. is successful as she hopes to be, shall congratulate her. In the mean time I shall wait ia doubt until I hear from her again. R.W.
