Madame Sontag at Boston —Madame Son.
tsg’s full dress rehearsal,-at Boston on Wed-
nesday, was attended by nearly four hundred
clergymen and their families, from Boston
and neighboring towns. Never before were
so many reverend gentlemen assembled to-
gether in the city. The press was also well
represented. Madame Sontag sang divine-
ly as did also her assistants. She sang sev-
eral sacred pieces, and, at the closeof the re-
hearsal, Rev. Mr. Bernard addressed the
audience, and moved her a vote of thanks.
'l'he audience resolved itself into an organ-
ized body, by choosing Dr. Sharp as Chair-
man, who addressed Madame Sontag in up-
prop'iate terms, at the close of which she
knelt in tears, before the old white-headed
man, and, being entirely overcoriie, and: una-
ble to express herselfby words, thanked him
by signs, while the tears streamed over her
cheeks. Dr. Sharp then laid his hands
upon her head and gave her his blessing.
The audience were much affected and
many were in tears. A little girl from the
Warren street Chapel School, then presented
her with a garland of flowers, which she
accepted, and kissing the child, retired from
the stage to her private room and composing
herself, said—“The old white-head gentle-
man has touched my heart. The Protestant
clergy presented her with a handsome Bible,
-and the Catholic clergy with another. The
title pages of both contained all the names
of the clergy present.-Sprmgjield Repub-

fi This paragraph is worthy of Ik. Mar-
vel, but we don’t know whose it is:
“Boys—when they are boys—ere queer
enough. How many ridiculous notions they
have, and what singular desires, which in
after life change and shape themselves into
characteristics ! Who remembers when he
would have sold his birth-right for a rock-
ing-horse, and his new suit of clothes for a
monkey? Who forgets the sweet-faced girl
older than himself, against whose golden hair
he leaned and wept his griefs away? Who
don’t recollect when the thought of being a
circus-rider appeared greater than to be pre-
ardent; and how jelously he watched the lit-
tle fellows lhat wore Spangled jackets and
turned somerrets, and prayed to become like
them‘! If memory preserve not these ca-
prices, or something siinilar, the boy is lost

for a return of what can never be again.”

"SUPP~OR'l'_YOUR OWN!"
To the Tax-payers of the, Borough
of Norvvlllk. ’
We have been requested, by the oflicers
ol the Borough of Norwalk, to make the fol-
lowing statements:
By the reports made at the annual meet-
ting, held at Marine Hall, on Tuesday, the
23d inst., it appears that the Boroughis in
debt to the amount of some 81500; that the
taxes heretofore laid have not been,punctual-
ly collected, and that a new tax sufficient to
raise the above sum must be laid at once. In
the call for the annual meeting a notice was
inserted to this effect; but so scant was the
attendance of Tuesday last that it was thought
best to adjourn to a future time, in order‘ that
those upon whom the burden was to fall
might have full opportunity to be present.-—
The meeting, therefore, was adjourned to the
evening of Monday, the 29th in:t., at Marine
Hall, at 7 o'clock P. M.
A committee was appointed at the meeting
on Tuesday with instructions to report to the
adjourned meeting above mentioned whose
duties are to ascertain the practicability of
fixing the fire limits within the Borough, in
other words to designate limits, within which
the erection of wooden buildings shall here-
after be prohibited. This is an important
subject, and one which has been too long
neglected. Whether the Borough has pow-
at to fix such limits without an addition to its
charter remains to be aicertained. If it has
_not, it is supposed to make application to the
next General Assembly for in grant of such
power. It is hoped that there will be a gen-
eral attendance of the inhabitants of the
Borough upon Monday evening.
We are glad to publish the above state-
ment, lor we have long thought that the af-
fair: of the Borough have been_condticted in

new and enterprising, and we hope to see,
very speedly, a thorough reformation in our

Ma. ROCKWELL,
Sm: I hasten to return you sincere thanks
in the name of my “little ones,” as well as
Mrs. Barnum and myself, for the benefit you
have conferred on them and community gen-
erally, by the invention of your curious and
valuable little CLASPS, for securing bed-clothes
in their proper position when covered over
children.
Many a doctor's bill for “bed colds” wil'
be saved by your truly Yt1nkeeinvcntion.—-
I advise you to bring your patent to the no-
tice of General Tom Thumb, for his worst
failing is kicking off his bed-clothes.
You should also take early rrieasurcs for
securing the patronage of Queen Victoria, for
I know of no human pair more extensively
and frequently interested in this juvenile
blessing than her rnostgracious Majesty and
herhandsnme consort Prince Albert. Keep
theroyal babies wartn. and the geatitude of
the loyal citizens of Great Britain will be
eternally yours.
Truly , yours,
P. T. BARNUM.

and had received the acceptance of the nephew
of his uncle. So that Monsieur Louis may
now prepare his 'I‘hronc, and at the same

may be found in the operations of a party of
adventurers who have recently sailed from

engine, and apparatus for raising ihetreasure
of the Spanish vessel, San Pedro, which was
sunk a century ago. It contained '$9,000,-
000, and it is said that this party of ad-
venturers have discovered the wreck and al-
ready procured £25,000 from it. They now
go out prepared to sweep it clean.
