A few evenings since, attended by a 'fino looking, dark-haired boy, apparently 14 or 15 years of age, a richly dressed lady, in the mel low flush of life" might have been seen enter ing the National Theatre, and taking one of the front seats in the box.

Ladies and gentlomen, as usual, came in, and the theatre soon wore its wonted aspect " a cloud of witnesses." There she sat, the mistiess of an entire seat in front, as though her extreme beauty, and that com manding look which ever accompanies dignity of mind, forbade a nearer approach to her per son. Presently a lady and gentleman dressed in dashing gaiety, entered the circle. They were shown room in the seat bIic occupied, and were soon comfortably fixed.

One of those mysterious noises which havo been heard in Trenton, N. J. (says the. State Gazelle of that place) for several winters, and which we have called slight earthquakes, was heard by a number of persons in this city, about 20 minutes before 1 o'clock, on Sunday morn ing. One gentleman who heard the noise, says il was so loud as to cause every window to rat tle, and one person jumped up in bed, in alarm. These occurrences are so common and harm less, that w will not call them earthquakes any more; but what are they, and what causes them? i : Another SinguEar JSspIosioai. Tho Springfield Republican says that another terrible instance of centrifugal force bursting a grindstone, occurred at the United States Wa ter Shop, on Monday of last week. When go ing with immense velocity, it bust apart, one half going lb ough the side of the shop, and over the porit to the opposite bank, whero it lodged. Thci other half, weighing about 400 pounds, burs; through the floor above-, culling a sleeper in if o as if it were a pipestem. The man who was grinding at the stone stepped ono side a moment, at the time of the bursting, and thus hi3 life was saved. Several workmen above the floor, when tho stone burst through, narrowly escaped. Clephant JBggs. The Heading (Pa.)
