Last evening the DJctor had a crowdedjhouse, with a lo cal editor and young lawyer, well known in your city upon the stage. The gas was inhaled by some fifteen persons, and many were the humorous incidents of the evening. Some, while under its influence, danced, some sang, and others manifested pugilistic propensities, by knocking down the gentlemen on the stage. The facetious local being under the influence of bottled gas, only took one draught at the laughing bag, which sufficed to place him in a position against the side scene, not altogether picturesque. Our young friend the at torney, was called on to make a speech, and when he appeared in sight it was the signal of considerable applause, as fun was anticipated. But, alas I the in halation bad beeu too heavy, and had the effect to benumb his faculties and produce drowsiness. A well known ac tor of this city was next called forth, and repeated a verse from one ot Hood's poems. As the curtain fell the unusual spectacle of » lawyer, editor, and actor was presented to the audience, sweetly sleeping in each others arms, reminding us of the story of the bajies in the ■woods. lx a Tight Place. —At , on Sunday evening, fatigued by his long journey, a wagoner und his son John crove bis team into a good range, and determined to pass the Sabbath enjoying a season of worship with the good folks of the village. When the lime for wor ship arrived, John was set to watch the team, while the wagoner went in with the crowd. The preacher had hardly announced his subject before the old man fell sound ask ep. He sat against the partition in the centre of the body slip; while jnst against him, separated only by the very low partition, sat a fleshy lady, who seemed ail absorbed in the sermon. She straggled hard with her feelings, until unable to control them any longer, she burst out with a loud scream, and shouted at the top of her voice, rousing the old man, half awake, who thrust his arm arouud her waist and cried very soothingly: “Wo, Nance I wo, Nance 1 wo! Here, John, cut the belly band, and loose the breeching, quick, or she’ll tear every thing to pieces I” It was all the work of a moment, but the sister forgot to shout, the preacher lost the thread of his discourse, and the meeting came prematurely to an end, while deeply mortified, the old man skulked away, determined not to go to meeting again until he could manage to keep his senses by remaining awake.— Exchange. How Many Mormons are There ? The Mormon leaders are inclined to exagerate their numbers and set down the population of Salt Lake City at 25,- 000; but the Gentiles, pointing to the census of 1860, which gave but 40,295 in all Utah, say there cannot be over 75,- 000 now in the entire territory. A gen tleman who has investigated the matter somewhat fully this season, believes the true population is about 100,000 souls for the territory, and 15,000 or 16,000 for the city. Yet, because an ordinary sized house, which at the East would scarcely be occupied by eight or ten people, is here found to comprise within its tour walls from two to twenty wives, each surrounded by a large, interesting, and constantly increasing family, it is a matter of no small difficulty to estimate the people by their dwellings. Children . fairly swarm. Stout, strongly built, rnddy laced, it must be confessed that, so far as physical deterioration is con cerned, polygamy cannot yet be justly charged with degenerating the race. TnixOs Worth Knowing.—A bit of glue dissolved in skim milk and water will restore old crape. Haifa yanberry bound on a corn will soon kill it.
