CHEAT.--G. Jones appeared before the

seems that in company with young man named

had go interest in the land and was to assign MS
right for the consideration OF S. Jones rernarkine
In the presence of the Magistrate that all he wanted
was signatures, he did not care who signed the in-
denture or how it was signed. The Mayor, after
hearingsthe facts dismissed the accused, with the
remark that If he sat there to enquire into private
cheats, he would hold Jones in custody.
The BLUEs.-Several members Of this
popular company, have requested us to say that
the rumor of their intended visit to New York, is
unfounded and that it did not originate with the
members OF that company. We heard 1t on the
street last Thursday, but afterwards learned from
Blue fiat II was incorrect, and therefore declined
noticing t. -s=s a--. i--..-e.s.
NARROW EsoAPE.-Last Thursday after
noon one of the large derrricks used for moving
stons at Warrick g. Barksdales new mill ON 18th
street. ieii and came very near catching and crush
ing lad who was passing from the cooper shop
with a number of barrel staves on his shoulder =
The derrick fell near the boy that 1t struck the
end of the slaves and threw him down, but luckily
did him no serious injury. l
DUcKEp.-Night before last, white wo-
man of Incorporate habits, walked off the tow
path into the canal, near the Tredegar Works, and

covered by two gentlemen employed at the Vir
ginia Foundry, who fastened to her assistance and
rescued her from her perilous situation, nearer
dead than alive. a-'t " ss-t
MAoALLIsrER--the prince of Magieians,
gives grand exhibition at the theatre Tonight and
should really like to see the house as complete
ly packed as on the occasion of Mr. Jacks benefit,
at the close of the season, when hundreds of per.
sons were refused tickets for want of room to
stand in. Macallister is beyond question one OF
the first men in his profession in this country,
and as he has taken especial pains to make the en-
tertainment this evening as brilliant as possible,
there be no doubt that it will prove highly
satisfactory to those who witness it. In addition to
his feats of jugglery, which are as unaccountable
rs novel 10 Tue COMIC representations
are to be given of very high order. Jfyou expect
to secure seats go early. a.a ...t 80

near there, Mr. 7. took out his pocket book, con.
