!. SoMz Boston THEATREsGoEss As
roN1sHED.-Atthem museum lastnight,
just as the orchestra were taking
their seats, a man apparently about
forty years Of age well dressed
and OF Intelligent appearance, arose
in the centre of the balcony and
said in 8 clear voice: -.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Before
the entertainment commences this
evening, I should Like to tell you all
that unless you change your way OF
living and follow IN the footsteps
of Jesus Christ, instead OF wasting
your lives in theatres, you will all
certainly 60 to hell.
The audience was at first so as
toaished that there was q r'omEo-
tary silence, which was followed by
mingled applause and misses, and
the man was put OUT by the .ishers
without show of resistance and
apparently any desire to stay. He
then went directly to the Boston
Theatre, and the curtain had just
risen when he arose again in the
centre of the balcony and said:
IADnsAND GENTLEMEN lam sent
here to interrupt this performance
by the LORD Jesus Christ I warn
you Of your danger:
Again he was. ushered out, and
this time was taken TO the police

How A Toad UsDREssEs.-An eye
witness to the process thus describes
a toad taking off his clothes
About the middle Of July I found
a toad on q hill Of melons, and,
not wanting him to leave, hoed
around him. Heappeared sluggish
and not inclined to move. Present.
ly I observed him pressing his ell
bows against his sides, rubbing
downward. He appeared so singu'
lar that I watched to see what he was
up to. After a few smart rubs, his
skin began to burst open straight
along the back. Now, said ], old
fellow, you have done it; but he
appeared to be unconcerned and
kept on rubbing until he had work
ed down all his skin into folds on
the sides and hips; then grasping
one leg with his hands, he hauled
off one leg Of his pants the same
as anybody would, and stripped
the other the same way! He
then took his cast-of cuticle
forward, between his forelegs In
to his mouth, and swallowed it !;
then by raising and lowering his
head, swallowing as his head came
down, he stripped off the skin u1a-
derneath until it came to his fore
legs, and then grasping one Of
these with the opposite hand. by
considerable pulling stripped off
the skin. Changing hands, he
stripped the other, and by a slight
motion of the head he drew it from
the throat and swallowed the whole.
The operation seemed to be an
agreeable one, and occupied but
a short time.

"M1aHrY ONsART1N. On the fer
ry-boat Geisse crossing the river at
Vicksburg recently, were an old
couple from Louisiana, coming to
visit friends in that city. The old
gentleman was walking around, de-
spite his wife's predictions that
something would happen to him,
and he suddenly found himself in
the river. She heard his yell and
caught sight Of him, and leaning
over the rail she shouted; /;
ssThere, Samuel, didn't I tell you
sos Now, then, work your legs, flap
your arms, hold your breath and
repeat the Lords prayer, for it's
mighty onsartin, Samuel, whether
you'll land in Vicksburg or eternity.
Thanks toa ready rope and a strong
arm, he was pulled out safely:
