Possessed of a handsome face, fine figure, and excellent presence, he looked and acted extremely well. His performance was, however, marred by the excessive friskiness with which he trotted about the stage at all times and seasons, and by a too rapid delivery. Having virtue on his side, and a good deal of profanity in his part, it is needless to say that he created a very favorable sentiment in the galleries. Messrs.

He replied, "I have only about half a ton left." Some time after I happened to see one of those little bills with which we are all more or less acquainted; from this I learned that he was indebted to a coal-merchant for just the above-mentioned amount, purchased at the beginning of the year.
