The p. R-A number of challenges are out for tstic
encounters but nothing definite has been done toward
this polite species Of match making. Dan kerrigan ID
exceedingly anxious for bout with Australian Kelly
but that hero has not responded George King is also
anxious for match with Woods, of Boston, ard the
only doubt about this coming off seems to be that
Woods cannot raise the money at short notice to make
the match.

CITY ITEMS.

LAURA KEEEys THEArEn-Though Miss Keene
has abdicated for the present the managerial throne,
the glory has by no means departed from her old
donnionsi on the contrary, the sovereign of the
theatrical realm of Keene has inauguated his Access
sion to power by ceremonies more than ordinarily
brilliant. Mr.. Jefferson, who has assumed the di
recorship, opened his theatrical court Wednesday
night, the plays given being an English comediettA,
here entitled " An Affair of Honor or a
Duel with Drugs" and Planches ever popular ex-
travaganza, 4" The Invisible Prince" The house was
filed, and the promise of success seemed most
hopeful. The company Mr.. Jefferson has selected, il
large though as many Of them are strangers in New
York. it is not possible to estimate their relative
merits. from the single performance that has been
given. number of old avorites, however, received
glorious welcome. First among these comes Mrs.
John Wood, the brightest star of the company, who
appeared rs " Don Leandor" singing and acting AS
much TO the perfect satisfaction of the audience as in
former times. Miss Cornelia Jefferson and Miss lone
Burke, were also well received The new names are
many. and will demand further consideration in flu
ture Mr.. Jefiersons personation of the Major in
the first piece, and the Infant Furbond in the ex
travaganza, fine specimens Of his peculiar
school of acting Both pieces were well presented in all
scenic respects and the audience highly enjoyed them
Mr.. Jefferson made short speech, and thus the
enterprise is fairly set under way.

Fruit PR0sPEcTs.-There has not been better
prOs ect for good fruit crop of all sorts in this vicinity
for many years. The apple blossoms, in particular,
are very abundant and look very healthy being large
and Uniformed, and unusually fragrant The state of
the weather too is thought to be very favorable, 1t
being cool and dry and the tender stage OF the bloom
ing season 80 far advanced that there not much dan
ger of blasting. The greatest difficulty will be, proba-
bly, the large quantity of fruit that will se-ore than
the trees will be able mature. We advise all own
ers of choice apple-rees pick off full half the apples
that form when about the size of bullets.
Clerry-trees also give great promise of fall crop,
in which case shall expect to the present rate OF
" SO a pound for hot-house cherries" somewhat re-
dnced The tune that will be sung in the streets Will
sound more like this "Ileres your line ripe cherries,
sixpence pound
Strawberries also give good promise. We have seen
the vines blossom fuller, but seldom have seen them
look healthier, ard owingt the dry weather the bloom
comes on very gradually that the probability is that
the fruit season will be Of long duration.
Peaches up to this time safe, and we are inclined
to think will continue So from the fact that the weather
has been such that the not prematurely
forward.
Pears also give better promise of good crop than
at any time in the middle of May for many years.
GRAPES have not yet developed their growth enough
to determine what the prospect Isl but the ground ID IN
fine condition. and the buds looking very healthy.
The number of vines of choice varieties OF grapes
planted out this season il enormous. We believe one
establishment this city that of DR.. Grant whose
propagatng houses upon an island called Iona IN
the Hudson River has distributed since last Autumn
more than sixty thousand grape vines, of one to three
years growth, the greater portion OF which are Della
wares the greatest wine grape ever cultivated success

distribute still larger number next season. a. he has

NoRwEGhs PIc-NIc.-The Scandinavians are first

THE Posr-OYvicE DEPALOArros. new devel-
orments of importance have transpired, either with
ree,Nrd to the whereabouts Of Mr.. Fowler, or the
amount and causes Of his defalcson, since our yester-
days ssue On Wednesday evening Marshal Ryndors
left for Washington, TO have an interview with The
President snd the beads Of the Post-Oaics Depart
ment Beftve bis departure he made ont @ formal re-
turn TO the warrant placed in his harNis against MIR.
Fowler. This document states that he bs been una
bic attach the body of the defendant or to find any
Of bis personal effects and he has therefore levied
upon the property Of George Law and Gustavus a.
Conover, to the amount Of sl55ys54 81. Yesterday
this return duly paced on file m the Clerks Office
Of tho United States District Court and thus of itself
becomes lien all the of eer of the sueties
named. No actual seizure will be ma6e unless, in de-
fault of their payment of she bond becomes neces-
sary toadvertise sale of any Of their property.
The bondsmen intimate that they will resist the
payment of the $4,000 the ground Of atechnical
error in the bond the law requiring three suretieS
while the Government contented tsef with two The
Department the other hand, claims that il was the
duty of Messrs. Law and Conover to guard their own
interests and to have required associate bondsman
at the date Of the execution Of the document if they
were unwilling to assume the risk. A lawsuit win
probably be the result.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Fowler il still in this city,
and that certain officials might secure his arrest if they
really inclined 10 execute the warrant. We pre-
sumo, however, that another rumor, which says that
he is in Montreal is nearer the truth.
correspondent writes:
"Mr. James Harrison, sewing-machue patentee
reported that Mr.. Fowler invested $40 900 in his pat
enr. As there much money this sunk in that
enterprise and knowing of no other capitalist engaged
in it, the conclusion quite general that Mr.. Harri-
sons story was true"
Tie deficit in the accounts of Mr.. Gayler, the stamp
clerk supposed have occurred through his loose and
careless Of conductngthe financial affairs of his
Office rather than through actual crimnaly; andas he
was often absent, and had not entire control of the
samps and forth it is thought that he will not be
held entirely responsible for the loss. His character
for honesty has always been good
An examination into Mr.. Fowlers private and Off
cal papers proceeding, bat they are in such con-
fused condition that is impossible to arrive at any
rect information to what has become Of his money.
The probability is however that the most of the def
cheney has been absorbed by borrowing friends. The
following appear TO be some Of the specrllaons in
which he has failed real estate operations; shares in
Pennsy yana coal companies; shares lii the Empire
City Bank, by which he lost $4,000. The only profit
able investment seems to have been in patent right
for manufacturing wire sofa and other springs.
