CITY INTELLIGENCE.

alleged to have been made recently in tlnCin
natl concerning former resident of llalt
more, but as we could not trace it to reliable
source, and as we hope for the cause Of human
ity and religion it may prove incorrect, we
have some doubts as to the prorIety OF giving
it publicity. As rumor, however, with hei
thousand tongues, is likely to magnify, if pos
sibe, the alleged outrage, we will state what
we have heard; which is, that IA person named
Wilson, formerly of this city, whose death was
announced some six or seven years ago rs oC-
curing somewhere in the West, had, by mere
accident, been discovered in a religious nsttu-
ton in Cincinnati, where he had been foIcibly
confined for the last l3 years; that his release
was effected after considerable trouble and cN-
element, and that he was about to return to
Baltimore. We 'tell it as it was told to us, -
by gentlemen whose words VIC could not doubt
but still we are inclined to think there is some
mistake somewhere as the Cincinnati papers Dc
not mention a word about it,
Dedication and Installation. The Third Ger
man Reformed Church, corner of Paca and
Saratoga streets, will be dedicated to the wor-
ship Of Almighty God, tomorrow morning, at
o'clock. This building, just finished, has
