SANFOIIDB °PIMA Ho - usu.—Manager Sanford
is continually bringing forward new produe.
dons, and it is not remarkable that success
should crown his efforts. Sanford is energetic,
and procures each member of his troupe re
gordlees of expense. The Opera House is ad.
mitably fitted up, and has every accommoda
tion requisite for a first class place of amtuie
ee nt, and good order prevails. The perform
era are all celebrated, and are always highly
applauded by Iho pleasure-seeking' crowd.—
We understand, that Sanford, yielding .to the
wishes of a number of our leading families,
has concluded to give a grand Matinee next
Saturday afternoon, for the especial benefit of
faniiiic3 and children—the' latter to be admit
t:d at ten cents.
A FIGHT ABOUT A Saw.—Poor vs: Rich.-,—To
the rich and prosperous Winter has little of the
attendant horror,' with which its advent is ac
companied to the poor and unprovided masses
of the city. To the former, it is only a means
of employing their money in ministering .to
their pleasures, and to the latter only an occa
sion for bewailing the loss of even theateosssa
ry comforts of life. While the children of the
rich wrapped in furs, enjoy themselves with
gully painted sleds, the gifts of their indulgent
parents, the offsprings of the poor, often shoe- .
has, are compelled to witness the pleasures
they can never hope to enjoy; and so it hap
pens, as in the qase of older persona, dud , they
seek to become the champions of their own
rights, and wrest by force, what has been de
nied to them. Thus, a ragged colored boy,
who bad nu sled, yesterday, in Second street,
near Meadow Lane, set upon a white boy,
and took his sled away from him, in conse
quence of which, a gentleman, who witnessed
the whole transaction, made after the colored
boy, and overtaking him near Mulberry street,
.roceeded to " wax" him with his switch cane,
until he cried out4natity, after wWoh he took
the sled and reetked it to its rightful owner,
the aforesaid white boy, who, of course, was
ighly pleased with the " armed intervention"
of his unknown friend.
SNOW. —Weather-wise people wending their
way homeward last night, turned an eye heav
enward and declared with a wiee shake of the
head, "snow before morning." Juveniles
could not see it in the clear skies and twinkling

day's sport upon the ire ponds. But thie
orning—sure enough I—when we bounced
um our beds, we beheld winter's white coat

whole division drawn up Speaker
Grow was introduced by Gen. W:, H. Kenn, on
