KMllMtloaa of a Terrible Brail. * Ttiler in the Lynchburg Virgiiiim furnnhaettie following rceollectiona of the burning of the Ibehmoad Ti;citre, near sixty-one years af;o: I am an old man. OM age dvdbi much on the post; and amongst the mul titude of remembrances of toy boyhood and earth, none are more vivid than thota connected with the horning of the Bichotood Theatre, on tb« n ght of the ICth of December, 1811. Two genera taw have aince come and gone, and per Lapa what I write nay lie of intercat to ■Oteaaov Uriag. I wm then aaehool boy in Richmond, very nearly twelve yean cld. My pa rent! molding in the country, were in town for the winter. They generally neehewed the theatre; but, that evening, wire ponnaded by some young friends to soaompaey (ham. Others from oar boatfHqgbqiiiee, to tbo number of nine or tea, Uteartea attended. The play was over and the afterpiece had just began. The aetom paused, and aermad oonfumd, and at the eaaae rime Are fett on the »Uge. An eater then Mine forward and aanoanead, “ladies and gentUmen, the theatre is on fire.” Instantly all was (a mall end tenor. Forties separated, .-ach raahing forward, to find means of escape -Of those who weal from oor boarding home, no two got out together. The pit of the theatre was on a leva] with the street; and escape thence, through the only enter door, was easy. Many from tbs lower gallery clam bated dawn into the pit, rad mved them •elves in that way. A good otaireay, ' ming a few feet from the outer door, > the galleries The honse was fail; n the frantic terror that prevailed, meet of ifcoS in the first gallery rashed towards the head of the stairs. Here • (he fitcaArd Wad feoff ill. Many were , thrown down and trampled to death. My porno la were forcibly separated. Mv mother, without the slightest effort on hit part, was thrust npwsrds on the noun and shoulders of those beginning to descend tbs stairs; and so deuso was the mass, she was carried, in a reclining I met are, to tlia bottom on her (cut; am then the enter dd8r, just before her, af forded ready egrets. Leaving with an acquaintance a mes sage for her husband, she sot off alone far the hoarding honse, up Grace street, wot* than half a mile distant. She lost • fibnlA, aind era, and -when I reached the parlor, aha had arrived, and witlf her hair streaming over bar about darn, was recounting coma of the tom Me asanas of the fire. She was the diet to reach the house. The rather of tbo writer escaped in a different way. Just after his wife had been carried down the stairs, the stair- -aaae gave wey, and than moaaes of frtn- tie beta g« went rolling over -each other ~ to the floor. Seeing eadtpe by the stairs ant o*. the writer's lather sought other ' mwtnsof delirormDM. Whilst forotd along, ho felt a current . Of cqol end, looldagjte, the left he nv an open window, a few feet off Be wet b afoot heavy man, rad, by ario- lent effort reached the window and Mated himealf.on the rill. He then wrapped • "hie greet ooet around him;and holding k by the enter edge of the rill m long ta poasihla, dropped safely to the ground. . The writer’s half sister, sin teen years oVS, was to the honae, with her maternal grandmother with whom the lived.— The old lady was havy and helplem; rad Mating little or no effort to eaoape, woe barnea. Her grand-daughter sprang to • a window and leaped out The (all shattered her right ankle bona so badly, that the could not move. Altera time u gentleman from onr boarding house re cognised her, and with other help, car ried her to e house one square oil. There the suffered agony for many weeks, be fore removal waa possible; and a year elapsed before the could walk, and waa lams for Ufa, An aunt and eourin of the writer liad been attended to the theatre by a young lawyer. Whan (be alarm waa given, fear appeared to deprive both of the power to move, In vain the yonng mu besought them to Bee for their Uvea. In apito of sutreatiea, both tat still, whilst the heat and smoke become oaoh moment more in supportable. Tha gentleman remained with them until his boos, eye-brows and whiskers were badly scorched. The in stinct of self-preservation then drove him to s window near at hand, whence hr leaped for hla life. One knee wee badly sprained. Th i Indian k pt their sea's, end met their doom. Tha writer's mother was sometimes re- lootanily persuaded to describe Ue hor rors of that night. Jost as she left tbe theatre, she observed a large, heavy old man lying on hie back, beneath a window, perfectly dead. Uhe used to say the look of agony in that ghastly face haunted her for yean. A teaching incident, well autbenti rated, is this. LieatensntGibbon, U. 8. Navy, wm betrothed to the meet beauti ful giri in Richmond.

We have often found them generous rad warm-hearted, and are fully ready to be lieve that their disregard of convention alities is often the boldness of innocence. For example, in aome families tbe cham ber of the aiater is the resort of the brother in tbe first place; then tbe cous in, who is almost a brothel, and then the brother’s intimate friend, who is treated as one of the family. When this free style of living is transferred, from the shadow of tbe family to the apart ment of a crowded hotel or boarding honse, it gives occasion for much free speaking rad free tninking- for a style of judgment that often does the yonng girl great injustice. We have said that oar Americans had their faults. Tho want of conventional limits oi property between Use sexes is one of them. The young French girl is kept secluded and never suffered to aea a gentleman nnwatched. In America, from their early childhood, littlo girls rad boys grow np together, and, on tha •hole, it ,t best they should. Bat, in order that this liberty should produce good effects, parents and gasnliana should incessantly teach certain limits of propriety. There are certain placet, times and modes of intercourse; there are proper pi ices, times rad modes ;therc are oertain other plaoes, times and modes that are improper, and it ought to be a part of tbe early training of every giri to teach her this. Every approach on the part of a yonng giri to any personal familUrily with ray yonng man, snch as aha might most innocently take with another girl, exposes her to miaoonatrne- tion, which it ia the duty o( her mother to prevent by timely warning. A favorite author bra mid that snch personal advances on the pert of women were “immoralities of manner," even where tbe intention was innooent. So girls, take care—respeet yourselves—re spect your--, and do not give tbe ene my ohance to speak reproachfully. List en, all of yon, to what a man Hys.
