CONMLING VETE A VANCIZAWCII : A &nee.—
For seen days prior to Tneelay evening last, large bills
wen peeled is the town of Warringtoo announcing to the
inhabstaats that the "celebrated ,Prikelfs per
funnies" would be given in the large room of the Lion
Hotel, on that evening. At the hour appoiuted, the mom
in question was crammed by a large and fashionable
audience, to witness the wonderful feats of the renowned
" wired" On a raised platform were exhibited all the
mystic paraphernalia' proper to the occasion. Presently the
magician himself made his • nee, and after • few
in remarks to display his powers.
The performance kontinned but a very brief time when a
eirange commotion was apparent in one part of the room,
and the words " impostor" sad " humbug" wen very
audible. At length • gentleman sprang ou to one of the
seats, and called out to the performer, Are you Wiljalba
Frikell!" Una this • terrible uproar area is the
moist if which a man of voices were heanl repeating the
question. The dismayed " professor" then stepped for-
went, end said, "Allow me to explan "bat we mot with,
" Answer the swain—yes, 'or no. An you Willa*
Prikell !" " No, wee the reply, " am not Wilallt
Frikell, and I never said I was." " Never mid you wen!
shouted several of the indignant audience, " hrak at year
bill !" " Well," retorted the counterfeit wizard, " miTsl.ll
does not say that I am Wilalbs ',Moll, but that W
Frikell'a performance will be given." On hefting this in
Omahas many of the audience rushed to the door, and dis-
tended their motley back—a demand which, we believe, in
every case wee complied with. To those who—amused at
the salacity of the " professor "—remained, net iadividnei
essayed a further explanatiou. He said he had tried the
thing in his own name without success, aod that if he had
continued he must inevitably have starved. It then anon
him to have Ida bill drawn up in such a meaner, that,
though he did cut literally himself off as the real
Prikell, the public might be led to consider him to be
that parsonage ; lime them he hod made " lots of
money." In conclusion, he offered to go through the
fortnauce as well as the individual lie was
which he did, it appete, to the malefaction those w
remained. —Maarfinter

Nay/ INVENTION.--A hand-loom Weaver at Dun-
fermline, named Charles lamina, has completed the in-
vention of • machine for weaving Breneela and velvet-pile
carpets and tablecoyers, which is likely to a revolution
in these branches of manufacture. The peculiarity of the
machine is that it can he applied to any plain sloth web,
