We subjoin the "CAnp" Of that Prince Of
Bufioons, LEWIS, whose astonishing actiyi-
ty and unrivalled drollery, have given life to
the Circus, and added fame TO his Company.
He solicits patronage to his benefit. To doubt
bis success, would be to charge our fellow
citizens with illiberality, and want OF discri.
mination. We venture to say, that, weather
permitting, he has nothing to fear.
A CARD.
Mr.. LEWIS respectfully informs the La
dies and Gentlemen of Alexandria, that HIS
BENEFIT win take place this Evening, Dscem-
Der 28,h.--If his exertions have heretofore
been successful, he feels entirely confident OF
pleasing the audience that may kindly favor
him with their patronage to night.

IA from the employ of the subscriber as a
journeyman Tailor, man who said his name
was HENRY DAVIS. He had been en-
ployed in the shop about ten days, and from
what can be asccrtained at this time, he took
with him about three yards of superine blue
cloth, sword cane, . new striped valencia
waistcoat, two breast pins, black silk stock,
and several dollars in money, belonging to
other journeyrhen working in my shop
when he went of, he had blue cloth coat,
waistcoat and pantaloons and short boots
From appearance, he is about IS years Of age
and stout built.
He was left in the shop to finish job, and
took advantage Of that opportunity to accom-.
plish his designs. Master workmen and others
are cautioned against the Vaccinations Of this
fellow, and are requested to stop him, and
endeavor to recover the property above de-
scribcd. HENRY I. BAYNE.

From the Baltimore Patriot.
THE LATE CONVENTION.

The editor of the Maryland Repub-
!ican, who was a member of the late
Convention held in Baltimore, in no.
ticing the Proceedings makes the fol-
lowing very interesting remarks
"The organization and some of the
proceedings of the convention, have
been noticed in our papers oflast week,
The first convention, probably, that
ever was held in the United States, up
on the subject Of Internal Improve
ment, was held in this state by Dele
gates, appointed by Virginia and Ma
ryland, at which General GEORGE
WASHINGTON presided. 1t met in An
napolis in 1884. 1t is pleasing re-
Election to record that one of his able
associates in that convention, as well
as in the struggle of the revolution
which. preceded it, still survived to
meet this second convention OF Mary
land upon internal improvement, as
delegate from Anne Arundel county;
and to him, all eyes were turned as the
most suitable individual in the State
to preside over their deliberations. His
health and energy Of constitution ena-
bled him to do so with suitable dignity
at the age of ninety. What contem-
plation!-The man who represented
Maryland in the Congress Of the Uni
ted States, which declared the nation
independent, and who isnow one OF the
only three signers Of the Declaration
who yet survives-he who emphatical-
ly and truly told that patriotic BODY,
that not only was his life, and his
sacred honor plighted in the common
bond with all the other members, but
that one-half his fortune, than which
no man in the country possessed more
to stake upon the issue, was devoted 10
the cause in which they all adventured,
whenever the necessities of the coun-
try required its appropriation. The
effect Of this declaration itself upon
the wavering members of the infant
Republic may be better conceived than
described. In the yGfieM year after
making this declaration, We see the
same individual leaving domestic re-
pose to contribute his voice and his in
fluence to the improvement Of his ma
i've state. Is there not in the con-
temptation, something to inspirit the
young and the ardent, on whom de-
wolves the duties Of this day, each to
contribute his individual proportion
to the common weal!"

uoRRID MURDER AND SUICIDE.


Extract of letter from young lady
in Springfield, Mass dated Dec. II.
-"Yesterday my eyes beheld such a
sight as never before witnessed--it
was the corpses of Mr.. and Mrs. Leo
nard. The circumstances arc as fol-
lows: Last Tuesday, Mrs. Leonard at
tended meeting in the evening; on &C
count of the i'll treatment Of her hus-
band, she tarried with her brother o.
YER night. In the morning Mr.. Leon
and came TO her and requested her to
go home. He appeared very pleasant
that morning. She went Immediately
home. The children went to school,
and left Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard, Harri-
ct, (about ten years old, who was un-
well,) and the babe about one year old.
Mrs. L. got her bench and tubs to go
to washing, when Mr.. L. came in with
an axe behind her, and struck her on
the side Of the head-she raised her
hand to her head, to defend it from the
blow, as he struck her with the head
of the axe, and broke her fngers--she
fell senseless to the floor. He then
struck her twice on the side ofthe face,
which knocked her jaw in, and bruised
her shockingly, and said 'd-n you, |
guess you are dead now then took
his axe and carried it out and laid it in
the back shed-he came in, took his
razor from the mantle-piece, stood ia
cling Harriet, who lay on the bed, drew
the razor twice across his throat,
then fell to the floor. AS soon. as he
fell, Harriet went and took the babe
out of the cradle, and ran CRYING muir
der9 Mrs. L. has seven Children to
mourn her loss. His corpse was car
ried and buried on hill-her corpse
was carried to the meeting house,
where a sermon was preached by the
Rev. Mr.. Sprague."

fully excited on Saturday last, between

death Of DR.. THOMAS WEBB, who late

Of desperation. The deceased was OF

Be,care Of counterfeit 100 dollar notas.
Counterfeit 100 dollar notes on the
Farmers Bank at Winchester, were
detected at the bank on Tuesday.-Two
notes ofthat description were contain
ed in a package sent from the Mechan-
les Bank of Baltimore, and upon FIRST
sight were pronounced by the officers
to be base counterfeits. They are
signed "P. N. Nicholas" ,chersas the
branch bank at Winchester never issued
any 100 dollar notes ,Uiih that signature,
but all signed Benz. Hatcher. Two
other striking defects in the notes were
visible to the officers; but the differ
ence in the signature is enough to put
the public on their guard.
