difficulty at the sea board cities.

DIGGING FOR GoLD.-The uptown watch
men relate circumstance which proves that
superstition still lives About twelve o'clock
on Saturday night, as Mr.. Perry was approch-
ing the locality Of Hardserabble, he heard
sound as of some person digging. He, with
his partner, kept shady suspecting that some-
thing might turn up in the shape of stolen
goods, or something worse. There were two
colorcd men busily engaged in making an ex-
cavation under particular tree Presently
they were joined by two more. The Sergeant
OF the First District happening along at that
time, they suspended their labors, left their
agricultural implements, and ran swiftly away.
They were soon apprehended The officers
elected the fact that these men were searching
for money. 1t was under the tree they
knew it was there. Amongst the branches Of
the tree was placed an open Bible; the sacred
volume directed the wealth-hunters. About
the tree were sundry magical diagrams d.
vining rod, and other instruments. The men,
being further Intercepted, were silent as to tho
manner in which the gold came there. The
whole affair is a mystery. Let the clairvoy-
ants be consulted Immediately - Providence

The CoNcERT.-A fine entertainment was
offered last evening at Mechanics Hail. Those
who were not present, should have occasion to
regret the loss of very superior performance
vocal as well as instrumental. The several
selections for Fiske's Cornet Band, and the
Orchestra were of high merit and received
very hearty and appreciative commentator
from the audience. We were especially i'm
pressed with the superior rendering by the
orchestra, of pieces by Gung H. Auber, and
Wallenstein-the charming overture from the
Grown Diamonds" of Auber, most of all.
To the great qualification of the audience, a
fine piece was volunteered by an eminent pi-
anist-Signor Casseres, who is about to give
one of his popular concerts in this city, and who
received much applause and well merited en-
core. Mr.. McConville, as a tenor vocalist, gave
great satisfaction in his rendering of selections
from Auber and Bellini. He should persevere
in his creditable efforts to attain high posi-
ton as artist of cultivation and superior merit
in the musical profession. B.

SINGULAR FREAK OF INsANITY.-An eve
ming or two since an unknown man entered
BARRIERS shop in New York, and attracted the
attention Of those present by walking about in
an excited manner, and signing deeply, while
awaiting his turn to be shaved. At last one of
the persons in the room asked him if he was
in trouble, but he made no reply. When his
turn came he sat down in the chair, and the
barber lathered his face, and was stropping his
razor, when his unknown customer suddenly
cried out 81 am not fit to livep and drawing
single barrelled pistol from his pocket, fired
at his image in the mirror, shattering the glass
to thousand fragments. Before the barber
recovered from his establishment, his unprofit-
able patron ran off without waiting to wash
his face.

BARLEY ILLUSTRATED LoNGFELLow. =
Messrs. j. L. Tilton &, Co., 164 Washington
street, have just added to their number of
beautiful prints striking picture of the bridal
procession which Longtelow has so POLITICALLY
portrayed in his "Courtship of Miles Stand
ish." The original drawing was from the pen
Gil of the inimtable barley, and this brilliant
fac simite was made by Grozelier, whose name
is sufficient to stamp the character Of the pic
ture. 1t is fine thing, and we presume will
find its way into many parors where Longfel-
lows poem now has a place on the centre
table. In delicacy of execution and pleasing
effect, this crayon will secure universal admit
ration. 1t is sent postpaid on receipt of 81 So.
A picture of this size IA by ~ and style of
execution could not be furnished at this price,
were it not for the extensive sale in prospect
for it.--Boston Transcript.

says of the Two Years Amendment 1--WE
would have been better pleased, personally,
had the amendment fixed one year instead Of
two, for we believe that one year would have
answered all the purposes which the friends Of
the amendment sought to accomplish" Let
us see. Was there not somebody, who, origi-

change and this is not the worst thing that
may happen to us, for the old adage says =

The ZouAvE Turns Up AGAIN. The
New York correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican says Riviere, "the gallant Zouave,"
and hero of the Blount drama, is still at work
in New York as a confidence man. He recent
ly made the acquaintance of a Colonel in the
United States Army, who had just returned
from a sojourn of several years upon the from
tier and was not, in consequence, well up to
the lodges of such plausible rascals as De Ri
Were, who beguiled him with tales of love adj
ventures and Crimean warfare, until the Col
onel congratulated himself upon having made
the acquaintance of one of the most remarka-
bic and best fellows in the world. In very
short time De Riviere managed, under one
pretence and another, to possess himself of
quite large sum of the Coonels 'pile," Civ
ing him draft upon his BROTHER "a banker in
Rue something, Paris"
He also, as the Colonel was about Journey
ing Southwark, gave him draft upon Mrs.
Blount, his dubious motherin-law, with the as
surance that she would be delighted with the
opportunity of cashing it; and, to make the
transaction perfect in its absurdity, he entrust-
ed to the Colonies care letter addressed to
''the Countess Emily Arnoug De Riviere, "
Armed with these documents the Colonel ar
rived in Mobile few days ago. and had actu-
ally engaged a conveyance, with view of
paying the Blount family (who live out oftown)
visit, when, happening, incidentally, to men
ton the matter to one of his friends, he learn
ed at once that he had been outrageously duped
and swindled He did not introduce himself
to the Blounts.
