great many Of the persons who came to
this city from other parts of the country, to
witness the billiard match between Messrs.
Phelan and Seereiter, left yesterday for their
homes, while most of those remaining, in
cluding Phean and bis party, will leave to-
day. Seereiter is willing and anxious to
play another game with Phelan and his
friends, who are losers by his failure to win,
not only do not blame him, but wish to back
him tor another game One gentleman of.
fered to wager 5000 to $1,000 on him,
while another said he wished to bet S25, 900
on Seereiter to $4,000 on Phelan. Wedo
not know whether the latter was bona 6de
one or not, but as to the former there can be
no question. Mr.. Phelan will not play,
thoug gh he has been earnestly requested to
do so.
We understand that Phelan remarked,
yesterday, he believed that Seereiter could
beat any other man ip the country. In this
opinion all Phelans and Seereiter's friends
concur, and we think that not man who
saw his game on Tuesday night will fail to
give him credit for wonderful skill. Secret
ter wished to play again, and thinks be is
entitled TO another match, partly, we Judge,
on account Of an article where it was stated
that Phelan, in case he himself was beaten,
would expect Sesreiter TO consent to re-
turn game. Mr.. Phelan was waited upon
last evening by a deputation Of responsible
gentlemen Of this city, who submitted to
him q proposition to repeat bis play with
Seereiter, for q stake OF $4,000 a side.
He declined the offer, however, declaring
the necessity Of his departure ior New York
this morning. He also declined to accept
any propositions for match to be played
during the next three or four months, but
intimated he would take offers into consider
alton hereafter. The feeling which induced
the proposition submitted by these parties
is not the desire to make money, but the con-
viction that Seereiter is the best player, and
that on another trial he will take the cham.
pionship from Phelsn. The confidence in
Seereiter's ability to do this seems to be full

is stronger than before the late match was

Gen. Twiggs 0utgeneraled.

There is but one instance known,
We believe, in which the old veteran
was outgeneraled, and as that is
quite amusing, we win give it to our
readers. General Twiggs is a strict

tice Of army regulations with but a
slight tempering Of mercy. A few
years ago a private Of dragons,
whose company was stationed al

guilty of and vowed 10 wreck his
spite upon the commander himself
With a correct insight into the Gen
erald's character, he selected ths
most tender point for his thrust.
One night he stole into Twiggs
stables with a razor, and shaved hi
favorite charger as clean as dressed
leather. No signs Of the rage thil
mean action would naturally create
were observable next day in ths
countenance Of Gen. Twiggs, bu

on this fare, until it might have been
supposed he was transmitted into a

MONSTER LUSUS NATURE

From an authentic source, which
forbids US to doubt the truth of the
story, the following facts have been
received lone day week before last,
the passengers on board ferry boat
near Quebec were attracted by the
singular appearance of a woman who
occupied q rather secluded position,
and who seemed to be under the
care of some persons who acted asif
anxious to shield her from obsery.
alton. Her arms were bandaged,
bnt not so closely as to prevent a
constant and very unusual motion,
and her head, which was completely
covered and hidden from sight, was
observed to sway necessarily back
ward and forward beneath the folds
of cloth. As soon as the ferry boat
reached the shore, the figure was con-
veyed to the train Of cars ia waiting,
and seated therein; but at this mo-
ment sort Of struggle and tHmult
again attracted the notice of the by
ISLANDERS, and the car was filed with
eager inquirers. Those who enter
ed, however, hastily returned, their
faces palid with horror.
| Among them was the conductor
Of the train, who begged that no one
would approach, for the bandage had
| been trown of, and it had been dis
covered that the creature was mon.
ster possessing the form of woman,
except the head and arms, which
were those Of pig! No mere hu-
man resemblance, but the absolute
fact. This would seem incredible,
were it the only case of this kind.
II is known, however, that there
lived in Albany, N. Y, a few years
ago, similar creature, having a wo-
mans body, and a pigs head. In
this instance the arms wore human.
This being always kept in close con-
; finement, and never suffered to leave
, a certain room in the house where
those who had charge Of her resid-
, ed excepting when no visitors were
about. She could talk imperfectly,
. and vas capable Of some degree OF
mechanical labor, for her sewing was
: said TO be very beautiful. Her head
) was in every respect that of a pig
! no particular was wanting-ears
bristles, and even tusks, all were
e there. This creature died at the
& age Of thirty-iiye years, after having
