Excellent. Admirable. The various features

execution an air Of studied propriety which

ton of the programme is devoid OF vulgar

perfect order is maintained where the
castles Of society are studi0usly main
tanned; where juveniles are restrained
and where the stage is run i'm the
defense and protection Of good morals and
prOprety-th no easy task. But Col.
Barton has done il for Richmond, and he
proposes % continue 10 do it. After the
performance De assured me that under no
consideration would he permit the evils Of
