Mr. Everett Rev. Mr.. Peterkin will hold his at
some other hour of the day; and any other Minis

meuts, and gave his congregation notice of such
change as he ma make. We are gratified to hear
of the very deep interest already taken in Mr.
Everets address, but regret that there is no hall
in Richmond sufficiently large to accommodate
those who wish to attend, for every citizen should
hear 1t.

Winters Chemical Diordmd exhibition
tnues to attract the attention and praise of all ho

are portions the many beautiful features to be
introduced tonight
Romeo and .yalia-The Misses Tyson, as our
readers will perceive, are to make their first ap-
pearance at the Theatre tonight as Romeo and
Juliet" in Shakspcares thrilling tragedy of that
name Miss Caroline is to sustain the character of
"RoTneo:" and from what we have seen OF her tai
ent on the stage, have very little doubt that she
will portray most naturally that gallant lover;
while Miss Josephine is to be the Juliet of the
evening, and such Juliet she will make is not Of
ten any stage. We hope these young
ladies will have large and intelligent audience,
well for their own sakes as for Stage Manager
Lewis for whose benefit the entertainment this
evening is given.
Landed Saf-Oficers Tyler and johnson re.
turned to the city last Saturday afternoon from
Kanawha county, where they had been to convey
JOHNSON JONES, a notorious thief, who had him. |
self arrested in Cincinnati and brought to this city
az Crawford, an escapad convict Jones is |
charged In Kanawha with forgery and kidnapping, |
and will doubtless be returned to the Penitentary
where he has already served one term Soon after |
committing the offer alleged against him, he |
arrested and committed to Jail in Kanawha, |
but succeeded in cutting the bars of his prison and
making his escape. When about to get out he |
arranged with a fellow prisoner to accompany |
him, but cut the hole in the bars too small for bis
companion to get through. After getting into !
the yard he induced his fellow prisoner to throw
out his clothes and money, which he gathered up !
and fed, leaving his companion stuck fast in the
opening, and screaming for the Jailor TO rescue |
second Jack Sheppard, and will yet make bis es |
cape if an opportunity is offered.
Democratic Meeting.-The Young Mems Demo |
cratic Association of this city held a meeting at |
Corinthan Hall last Saturday night and after |

ladies and sour old bachelors consult the Madame
as TO their future prospects, all occasions and
admit that she has wonderful faculty for guessing
the past and present which she processes to arrive
at by the aid of phrenology and physiognomy.
The curious are very apt TO call her the Pres
colt House, on Main street, near the Banks.

tion of the Mayor to them
