ResemJldnce.-An Instance has lately
occurred of two persons resembling each
other 50 closely as TO produce very nnplea-
sant consequences. A man was lately
tried for theft at Baltimore, and indicted
by the name of Henry CHASE, alias John
Butler, against whom the evidence was ST.
direct, that at first no doubt was entertain
ed oflis guilt. 1t turned ont, however, 10
in the course Of the investigation, that the
prisoner, who had borne no other hame
than Butler, had been mistaken for a per
son named Henry Chase, the actual thief,
whose resemblance to the prisoner was so
great, that it was difficult 10 distinguish
them apart. They had both "A scar on the
face, aud in most other respects were like
each other.-The character oflilc prisoner
proved to be good, while that ofChase was
shown to be extremely bad. The jury
without leaving hebox returned averdlct
of not guilty. m. I. .4dUoaute.

STRANGE AFFAIR.

RALTIMoRT, July l9.-Last night be-
tween 10 aud IL O'Clock, an attempt WAS
made TO take the life of one of our most
respectable and worthy physicians. The
facts IN tle"case, as far as we have learned
them, are these A person called on the
Doctor, complaining that he, the Doctor,
bad deceived him as Ia the actual state of
his nepb.w's disease whom the doctor was
attending IL which the doctorre replied that
he had not-that if his nephew WAS worse
than he had represented, an unfavorable
change must have occurred since he SAW
him. To this the complainant objected, &
Insisted On the doctor's Immediately going
with him To see his nephew.-The doctor
was engaged and could not go then, but
would go as soon as possible. 1.-The person
very abruptly told him that he should or
he would force him to go. The doctor "a
gain excused himself. ~ the cnraaed
man drew out = pistol and fred at the doc
tor, who, ~ the pistol was presented,
knocked ii up, and the contents, large buck
shot, We're lodged in the check Of the
door 4 few inches above the doctors head.
The FIRST attempt having failed, another
pistol~wa produced and presented, but
before it MAS discharged il was wrcstpd
from him and h. secured by some gen
tlemcn In the street, and taken to the
watch house He this morning gave bail
for his appearance at court. We folhear
mentioning the offenders name, or making
turiher remarks on this affair, as it is pre-.
sumed that a higher tribunal tran the
press will sit in Judgment upon it. When
We mention The doctors name, Il will sur
prise every one that such a man should
have had such an enemy-or indeed ANY
enemy at all.-There are few more inof
