SINGULAR CASE OF IDENT1TY.-The
Pittsburg Despatch of Monday, relates
the following.
"For some weeks past much excite.
ment has been existing in Beaver and
around it, relative to the attempts of a
man named Davitt, formerly of Fayette
county, to pass for Darid Mitchell, son OF
Gen. Mitchell, formerly of Centre coun-
ty,) ex Canal Commissioner, who was
one of the Duquesne Greys, and died in
the Hospital at Puebla, where he was
buried. Old Mr.. Mitchell was SO COM
pletely deceived by slight resemblance
to his son, as to receive him into his fam
ily-but daughter, not so easily inn
posed upon, is said to have left the house
ia consequences. For tune public opin-
ion was divided as to the identity of Da.
vitt, some insisting he was Mitchell,
others as vehemently denying it-but
now it is strongly against him. Colonel
Black and Others denounce him as an in
famous imposter."
The fellow has since been arrested and
confined in Jail.

JENNY LIND.-Qulte mania was created at
Stockholm, on the return of Jenny Lind from
London, on the 2 Of last month. There was, no
doubt, good deal of amor patria and national
vanity in this, she being by birth Swede. Our
accounts state that the rush and confusion were
so great that some detachments of soldiers
were obliged to be called out to restore order
and quel the disturbance. So great was the de.
sire to hear their fair countrywoman again. after
her triumphs at London, that tickets sold at fifty
times their cost. Even as much as one hundred
dollars were paid for seat in the amphitheatre
We are not surprised at this in Stockholm, after
the idolatry paid to the modest Jenny at Lon.
don. We saw and heard her at the latter place;
but all we paid for our two stalls at the opera,
was thirty dolars-there is no amphitheatre at
the London or Paris opera. In ordinary times,
we should have paid about ten dollars for two
stalls. We were charmed and delighted with
Jenny Lind, as we always are with genius, talent
and art; but we were not carried away with
the extravagant idolatry, such as this of Stock.
