AN OurRAeE-On Thursday night last about

Twelfth street, between C and ID, occupied by one
Of our most respectable citizens. A large-sized
man descended from the carriage, approached
the house and demanded adnlittance, accompa-
nylng that demand by the most obscene and pro-
fame lang uage.
The lady Of the house. her husband being alb
sent, requested him to 20 away, intimating to
him that he had probably mistaken the character
Of the house.
The man persisted in his demand TO be admit
ted, and, by way of enforcing the demand, com-
menced TO break the windows, aud drawing
pistol threatened to shoot the first person he
could get at
The hackman, all this time, stood leaning on
the gate, a cool spectator of the scene
Failing TO gain admission the person at the
door departed, uttering vOlley of curses and ri
He doubtless mistook this house for one next

on entering Odd Fellows Hall last night, The
spacious room was brilliantly lit up; the tables
were loaded with handsome and useful wares,
tastefully displayed by the prettiest of sales
women. Withers' Band was performing in its
very best style; and the intervals were filled by
some brilliant execution upon the piano forte by
some OF the first performers in the city. The
sweep in endless round of the merry promenaders
gave life to the picture presented, and altogether
II struck us that happier assemblage could not
we'll be brought together. One feature of the en-

ton that was the entire absence of the scientI tic
"gouging" and badgering sometimes practised

Tonight, Nithers's Band will perform the
Canary Bird Waltz and sleigh Bell Polka, and
Mr.. WitheIs will execute his celebrated Violin
