House, last evening. and were vouchsaied
uelightful entertainment in the play of

tne humor is in no instance of a vulgar or
coarse style and the entertainment gave as
nigh satisfaction to the pit as to gallery.

s.scoon both by his acting aud singing

by too much ambition. The sup
port given TO the Post by Hous-
ton Is a monument TO the liberalIty
and pluck Of its business men, and for
their sake it is a pity that IL has not
succeeded. The Post labored hard for
success, and for a time was an excellent
newspaper, but its outside and general
support was never great enough to
furnish the basis of substantial success.
The Post was, on the whole, a lively
and interesting neighbor, and the

and regret for those who have suffered
grief or disaster in consequence of its
mistaken enterprise and inevitable
failure.
