Bishop lasteveningin his imper sonation of the celebrated Widow Bedott, and a better pleased audi ence we have never seen' tn Ralston Hail. From the 0rst appearance of the Widow, until the Curtain fell upon her (I)'round and jolly face, fun ruled and laughter applauded, it is seldom that we have an op portunity of enjoying a two-hours’ laugh. Tbe generality of perform ances include a humorous character to draw forth a ripple o( merriment nowand then,but in Widow Bedott it is di0erent. Tbere is room for a smile and reason for a laugh in her every expression and utterance.

Such is Jbe title of a handsome illustrated weekly of sixteen pages, edited especially for the edification of boys and girls, published by James Elverson, Philadelphia, at $3 per year.

It has struck tbe golden mean between tho goody good and the sensationalism oi the bad, and is therefore just such a periodical as will interest juveniles and is safe to be pnt in l&eir hands..

He begau to play him, when tbe fish, running nnder tbe boat, capsized it, got ia himself, and, putting on the man’s overcoat, started for New Orleans.
