Ford's Theatre.—As already announced, Ford's Theatre, at Washington City, has been purchased by the Young Men's Christian Association, for $100,000, payments to be made in sums of $10,000 at each quarter. The building will be dedicated on the fourth of July. No change is to be made in the building until it is paid for. As the building is to be made the general headquarters of the Associations of the United States, we presume each Association will have to bear its share of the expense incurred in purchasing and fitting it up. What the Wheeling Association's apportionment will be we are unable to say.
