It was so dark at the foot of one cf the lamp-posts that & man could not see the time of night by his “ gold watch and chain.” What is the mat- ter? Is the strength of the gas in the strong ment? We propose that the proper authori- ties give us less odor and more light, “ JonaDas."’—The second representation of this piece, by the members of tieo Wasbing- ton Tent, No. 2, Junior Order of Rechabites, will be given to-night, weather permitting, in the basement of the Sixth Presbyterian ebureh, Island.
