CnuncH Notices.

The box lor box it is, and a yoorbox at b-st is a miserable, dir- tVuneomfortabla" concern, and unless you -.are fortunate in obtaining a front seat, you are compelled to stand up and lean over to witness what is transpiring on the stage. , . The colored people, especially the more respectable portion, of this community are a grand oource ot revenue to the manager of the theatre, they pay freely and willingly, and it is no more than- justice that they should have a decent place to carry their families, even though it be in the gallery. It is not right tjiat when a man carries his family up io-tlmt iofrhe-should be-s'ur-4 rounded by a lot of loafiag pea nut caters and tobacco spitters, who arc bold enough even to smoke and keen iheir hats on while in the gallery.
