ON THE STAGE.
Speaking of the peculiar incidents that occasionally occur on the stage, says the "Philadelphia Telegraph," a well-known actor said that one of the most laughable happened some time since in the theatre of a thriving town up the State. The scene at that particular moment was the deck of a ship, around which rolled and heaved a vast theatrical sea. The hero was solJloquising on the pitching deck and the audience was intently listening to his spellbinding words, when a ruddy head protruded through a hole in the ocean in full view of all. The hero, however, was equal to the occasion. Qlancing at the apparently floating head, he lustily yelled : "Man overboard! Man overboard!" Hardly had he spoken before the head of the sea manipulator was withdrawn, and with a sad sigh that could be heard all over the house, the actor piteously cried : "Too late, too late! Another poor fellow has gone to h 4 s last account !"
