Some of the moat scientific points of the putlme were exhibited, at wbloh the specta- tors testified frequent approbation. Those remaining In were T. Bartley, G. BlcUe, J. Slade, T. Bnoknell, and Tucker. Greater interest than ever wu evinced In these final issues, before a highly respectable company. Blade and Bucknell played for nearly two hours and a haU; when they tossed for " the back," which was won by the former. Blokle threw Taoker " two hips and a shoulder," according to the decision of the three offlciala. Blade and Bartley next came together, Blokle being odd man, Bartley wu the ikvorlte at 2 to 1, u Slade had snob e long bout just previously. Bartley tried some oboloe play, but he found a wl^ adversuy in his opponent At length the latter wu thrown by the cross-heave, and this brought Bartley and BIckle to handy grips.

Pum m Btck tf a Bdint PromiUr. vainn roi m nw Toai duma, BT J. 0. FOfB. DtiBiKa the winter season of the year IB—, when en- gaged u " prompter" at the Detroit theatre, I had become on terms of lotlmaoy with a spruce Ittle fellow char- acteristically knownu "Johnny, the little fifer," who harbored In his breut a particular aversion to the stage mi Its adherents; hotwlthstandlng, I wu his bosom Hend. From sbhool boy days. Johnny wu anti-dramatio In his opinions, and verily believed that the greater part of the "stage people" were open teachers of evll;and, conBcqnentJy, never would allow his ezqnisite, though dlmlnntlve form, to grwe the interior of a play house. Aware of bis aversion towards those of my profession, I formed a determination, that, through me, he should visit the theatre. I wu not long In forming a plan, i^hereby to secure tiie desired effect. The patrlotio horse drama of "Putnam," the delight of JnvenllM and verdant countrymen, wu announced for representation, on Monday ev^nug; and during the oonne of ^e day, meeting with my little friend, I fiacted from him a promise, under tiie plea of a favor, to call at the stage door on that evsnhig, at 7 o'clock precisely; where- upon, I affected hurried business, and started off at a quick paoe hi the Alreotlon of the theatre, congratulating myself on the feaslbllily of my well-matured scheme. Bnt It wu" Diamond cut Diamond," u the reader will shortly perceive. Night came, aad with it a crowded house; and u I wu about to ring up the curtain, "John- ny," with his conntenance exhibiting amazement at the strange sights whioh met hb view, wu ushered to my stand, where be relaotantly remamed, at my request, until the play wta over. In one scene of the play, to give proper effect, the Amerioan soldiers march on, eaded by a " drummer and fifer," with a Yankee com* mandant. As the scene wu on as arranged between the "property-mas," and myself, "Johnny's llllpntlan body wu suddenly enfolded witbin a great coatof Oontlnental patron, a hat with a goose feather in it wu then placed uiion his head. A " ue" wu next placed into bis nands, and ere be bad time to consider rlgntlUUy be found him- eelf before an andlenoe, playbg, " Yankee Doodle," his favorite air, on bis favorite InetmmeBt, the << fife," at the head of a file of his cowntrymen, u personated by the " sopex" During the baslneas of the scene," Johnny'* had snfflolent time for reflection, and I knew by his coun- tenance that he contemplated doing mischief. I was not wrong in my sapposltlon, for when the commandant ordered blm to play up " Tankea Doodle," for an exit, with a wicked glance towards the "Prompter's side" did the vengeful little fifer Inappropilately strike up " the Rogue's March." The characters and " supes" made good their exit, bnt" Johnny" remained steadfatt, while play- log the Inappropriate air, which brought the house down in the most uproaroas applause. ''Go off I Go off I" shouted the manager.

" Go off, d—n yon I" thundered the now enraged manager, but Johnny's only response wu a Bbrlll blut from the fife, and the tumultous shouting of the audleDce. The manager at length grew wrathy, and losing all sense of propriety ruahed upon the stage, selaing " Johnny" by the collar, who was In the act of bowing to the audience in return fer the favors ebown him on the oooaelon of his itbui, and coming In contact wlUi "Johnny's" " efter-plece" sent him headlons through the entrance.

A Hakouan'b Buj,.—a Dutch Journal recounts at the beghining of the lut centnry, the city of Ameterdam was in the habit of employ big the Hurlnem executioner, and with a view to save travelihig expenses.

It wu relatedby a friend of ours. Sheriff — (we pubuah no names) Is a man of the right stripe, and Is u food of a good joke, when not played open biaseir,u any person living on this half-civlllEed hemisphere. Now the sheriff Is one of that kind of men who always go in for peace, and aoytUng in the way of fighting—whether man or beut—he Is particularly down on. The sheriff wu the sole owner and' poaaessor of a splendid oanhie, of that species known u bull dogs, which weighed about 76 pounds, and could whip any four-footed animal, from a bear to a ground-hog, that would dare in anywise to offend bis majesty. Notwltbstandlog bis ability so to do, Oaric (for this wu his name) wunot generally of a pugnacious disposition, yet he liked a rongh and tumble fight u well u he did nis dinner. He had the guardianship of a large mill, store and garden, and woe be to that unlucky strange canine who bad the audacity to set his unhallowed teet in either of these places; tor he conld never be healthy after It, If he should be so lucky y to escape with bis life. To proceed with the etoiy, one dark rainy night In the spring, after the family had retired to rest, and were In dreamland, they were suddenly awakened by a fierce growl—a yelp—and then a slow.gluttural sound like wind coning out of a broken bellows. Two of the sheriff's sou at onoe started down stairs to see what waa the row, and in going Into the yard they spied Carlo performing a beautiful yet very patnfUl surgical operation on the body of an unfortunate canine who had dared to enter the garden without an invitation. Carlo bad him down in a large patch of stinging nettles, and bad about two-thirds of tbe neck of the aforesaid oanhie In bis ospaclou mouth, and wu dohig bis best to slop tbe wind ttom coming np the windpipe. The canhie's testing sppBTatna wu sticking out about four inches, and his eyes looked like two pigeon eggs lying on a dung- heap. The boye rememberbg that " blessed are peace- makers," commenced trying to part tbe belligerent ca- nines, whom they saw were very badly natched, u Carlo wu havhig It all his own way. They procured a large pall of cold water, and sensed It on the warriors, which water served to revive the spirits of the dying dog, and he raised to Us feet, caught one «f Carlo's ears, and the fight then commenced In earnest 'Twu " nip and tuek" for five minutes, when Carlo succeeded hi selzhig his an- oigonist by the left fore leg, which caused the stranger to >^Tp in imitation of a half doaen Indian wa^whoopx At this Juncture tbe sheriff, who had been looking out of the window, oame runnhig down stahrs, minus pants, coat, bat or boots, and rushing out, commenced belabcrlog the dogs severely; bnt flndlog that of no particular use, he Odught hold of the narrative of Carlo, and one of tbe boys canght hold of the stranger's narrative, and then com- menced pulling; suddenly the sherlfTs " tall hold" slipped, and he found himielf Iq a sitting poatnre, in a large patch of ttlnging nettles. Now, reader, I suppose you know what stlogiog nettles are like: youmlgutjuetu well sit down on a' red hot stove, and then put camphor on the scorched plaoea Tbe sheriff wu not long k gain- ing a standing position, and u there wunothfig to In- terpose between the nettles and the cuticle, you may imagine the pain which It canted blm. He ran Into the house, got out the medlolne-boz, seized on a bottle ot liniment, and oommenoed rubbing the most painful parts. Buffioe It to say that It was about two weeks before he could reinme a sitting position; and now he Is more than ever down on fights of any kind, but particularly dog fights. A Novn.
