In the old plan one would ask tor 5, another l .i, others 15 or 2d ted , all we • i grunted.

If one man in this arrangement is benefited more than * another, he has to pay more taxes ; so no one is injured and all lire benefited by this arrange ment, and I cannot conceive how any one can oppose a measure that wdl add so much beau ty and benefit to our city, provided that no encroachments be allowed where it will inter lere with any lane, street or alley that is nar . rower than the limits allowed by Ordinance. OLD SETTLER.

Tim lather of Mr. T. liver who enjoyed the d.stinguished honor of participating in the first ring fight in America, died of too ; much liquor; the Tipton Slasher died of too 1 much row ; Belcher Kay died of too much Miock-in-the head; Wm.

Any number of Chickens, Pets, Slashers, Ac., have deceas ed in various violent and wretched ways.— I hey almost invariably conic to a bad end, and some of them, ' v e are pleased to state, have come to a rope s end.

No j ictur tiiat we bav * ever sec?i docs justice to Piccolomini i and the reason is simple; picture-, arc simply th. representation vs a live ala peculiar moment, and . present but a continued expression, though they h. exact in oulliue an I perfect in facial angles.

Tbn is a great natural gUt; one that appeals instantly t«. every beholder and iixes their undivided attentiui 1 upuii the possessor, making her the absorbing focus ut interest and attraction.

Such arc the attributes of Piccolomini, the woman, and iu these will ever be found the real power of bei wonderlul iascinati -n—a pow<r which in every laifu seems to have made her the beloved and petted child arust of the people. Picolomini s voice is a soprano iu quality. It. middle tones arc singularly rich and beautiful, and it; whoL raugu deliciously meiodius. Her ineiu .d is good, her pronunciation is very distinct, and bur ex ecution vxcuiieut. Her acting is perfect. Bhe nevei lor a moincut forgets the character. She docs no. wait for the one to assume its personation, but she acts up to all. In short, Piccolomini is a great actress ; her abandon Las all the charms of uucuntrol ed natural impulse; hur joy is all laughter and sun shine ; her sorrow is all b ars aud cluuds. She eiec- ! trines you; shu doinaiids your sympathy, aud y u , give it to iier.

Mr. Flumixc will introduce a Drama of great cc ibrit.v tliis Evening, founded upon the following inci ient, which is doubtless familiar to most of our read :r», but we re-pu'olisb il at a matter of interest to hose who design witnessing tbe performance to-night. The sketch is well written, aud will pay for a peru al : ‘ l Death stared us in the face. We were fully per uaiied that iu twuiity-fuur hours all would bo uvur. fbe Fngineurs had said so, and all knew the worst. \Ve women strove to encourage each other, and to perform tbe light duties which had been assigned l us, such as conveying orders to tbe batteries, and -upplying the men with .’ops 4 eot’vc, which we prepared 4uy aud night. I bud gone out to try and make myself useful, in company with Jessie Brown, poor Jessie Lad boon in a statu 4 restless excitement all through the siege, and had lallcn away visibly within the last Rw days; a con< utant fevur consumed her, and her mimi wandered .ecasionally, especially on that day, wh< n the recoi .eetions t»f home seemed powerfully present to I.er.— At last, overcome with fatigue, he my down on the ground wrapped up in her plaid. I sat beside her, promising to uwaken her when, as she said, “bcr iathcr should return from the ploughing." She at .engtb tell into a profound slumber, nnaioub ss and ap parently breathless, her Lead nsting in my lap. A myself could nu longer resist tbe nit filiation to sleep, iu spile of the continual roar of uanuon. Suddenly i was aroused by a wild unearthly scream close to my car; my companion stouu upright beside me, her Lrms raised and her head bent forward in tbe atti tude of listening. A look of intense delight broke over ber countenance, she grasped my baud, drew mu vuwards her, and exclaimed : “Dinna yubeur it! din aa ye hear it" "Ay, I’m no dreaming; its the Slogan o’ the Highlanders! were saved! were saved!"— fhen flinging herself un her knees, she thanked God with passionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered; j my English curs beard only the roar oi artillery, and < 1 thought my poor Jessie was still raving, but she 1 darted tu the batteries, and 1 beard ber cry incessant- | ,y to the men: ••Luurugu!
