EXCITEMENT IN VIgE-sTRERT - Maroon
Escape Of a Female R9pe-walker = Lizzie
Donaldson, female who has been perform
ing on the tight-rope at the Palace Garden
for some time past, was advertised TO walk
across Vine-street, az hight of thirty feet,
yesterday afternoon, and, rs might have
been expected, the announcement drew an
immense crowd.
The weather was very pleasant; the air
balmy and delicious; the sky soft and clear;
and in addition TO the fashionable promen-
aders, that on such afternoons throng Fourth
street. persons of all classes, ages, sexes and
conditions gathered together, and filled
Vine-stfeet, an hour before the appointed
time, and with patience which in better
cause would have forsaken them, waited
until nearly FIVE o'clock, before the rope
walker made her appearance.
At length a murmur ran through the
crowd and a female, not remarkably pre-
possessing in her appearance, dressed in or
dinaTy ballet costume, introduced herself to
the public with balance-pole in her hand,
and prepared for her journey. She was
evidently alarmed, and looked very much
like one, who, in theatrical parlance had
been seized with stage-fright.
Doubtless, believing with Lady Macbeth
that if she could but screw her courage to
the stickiDg-point, she would not fail, she
bldlbtu On udIdIuOuS Mdlh. Inc eX-
hibition was remarkable in some respects,
but to these we will not refer particularly,
while her limbs, which very much resembled
paralellograms, trembled at every step.
The rope extended from the Palace Garden
to the third-story window of building i'm
mediately opposite, to which front addition
had been erected, only one story high, and
was, therefore, about twelve feet above the
roof of this portion of the house.
The woman walked with fear and tremb-
ling until she was Immediately over this
roof when the rope became unsteady, and
her fright increased. The multitude, alarmed
for her safety, was breathless; but their fears
were realized, for the rope-walker fell, and
shudder ran through the crowd, which ex-
tended over the entire square.
The distance, however, was not great, nor
was the female badly injured, although her
body was bruised to q considerable extent.
She regained her feet in a few moments;
passed into the house, thence to the street,
and in little while walked through the
crowd to tReePalace Garden. She performs
much better and walks much more grace
fully on terra-frmG than on q tight-rope,
and we hope that she has now become thor
oughly convinced of the fact.

ANUS sRNTErITa.

NATIONAL THBATER.-When Jane Coombs
appeared at the uperahouse last wIntcr we were the
hrst we believe, 20 notice her faults and we are
glad TO be the first to notice her improvement
Not that she las entirely recovered from them but
they are not Rarng and we feel assured that the
discipline che has given herself will, IL continued,
eventually reform them altogether.
The part Of ''Mrs. Haller Is wholly unworthy of
her, and her talent and power might be used much
better than IN tho representation Of such charao-
ter; nevertheless, the last act.-which was all we
saw of the performance-was rendered in an ex.
tremely artistic manner. She has the aouty of ap-
pearing Batnral Of making her hearers believe that
she feels the grief she porrays of hiding her art by
conforming to truth, thus making a reality from
what was but se,ming
This is her acting; but her reading must undergo
a further improvement Her tones aud the inhec-
tofs of her voice-whioh by the way, is very pow
erful, sweet, flexible and altogether amiable-are
badly managed, and yet they seem wholly under her
CONTROL giving every to believe her faults of
enuncntion could be remedied Immediately.
She will appear this evening, the proceeds being
set apart for her benefit in new play entitled Ada,
or The Doom Of Virtue and Sheridan Knowles comedy
of The Lore chase. with such programme the
National to. night should be crowded.
PIKE's OPERA-HoUsE.- Geraldine will be
performed for the fifth time, at the Opera-house, to-
night, for the benefit Of Miss Bateman. The audi
ence last evening was fair in point of numbers and
excellent in point of quality, and the performance
passed of agreeably.
Susan Deuin, who, during the past week. has been
occupying the position Of soubretto, will appear as
"Fanny Grbbles," in the farce of The Stdge-strack
ChamJer1aaid. Her impersonations in this line have
been capital, and doubt not her performances to-
night will excel any former effort of the week.
WooDs' THEATER.-The Siegrist and Fan
frett ballet troupe will appear tonight for the last
time but one, in a number of exercises on the tiglt
rope, gymnastic fea,s, ballet and 8 pantomimo,
thus furnishing variety which deserves and sh ,uld
attract q large audience.
SMITH l. NIxoN's HALL.-Thiodon's Mu-
scum Of Arts may be nightly at this establish
ment. Nv. J W. Geuest, we believe, has become
connected with the Museum, and, we doubt not,
under his managementt will meet with an increased
/ success. ....

The REoENr ASSASSINATION ON FOURTH

THE RECENT ASSASSINATION ON FOURTH
sTREET--The Homicide Surrenders Himself
to the AuthOrities. s.--Richard Knabe, who,
one week ago, stabbed George Guelich, at
the corner of Fourth and Main, last evening
and was confined in the Hammond-street
Station-house, to await an examination
before Judge Lowe. 1t is said that he was
in Indiana, and, having heard of the Mayors
proclamation, returned to the city, and now
claims the reward that was offered for the
arrest of the murderer. To pay it, taking
into consideration the manner in which
murderers are treated in this city-Uide re-
suit of the Kate Bureau homicide-would
seem like offering premium for crime, and
is not so great as that of the community he
has outraged.

ALEXANDER LONG, EsQ.-,ST: You disa-
vow, in your letter Of October 3, the allega-
tion that you charged me with y corrupt use
Of the public money; and you also deny that
read to you portion of the letter from DIR.
Close, but admit that did read from paper
three or four lines. The editor of the En-
quirer, however, says that read sentence
from what called "a letter. To this l will
simply add, that read about one-half of the
letter, and you, Mr.. Long, know that what
did read was what appeared in print as the
letter of DR.. Close. That letter, dated Sep
telnber 81 came to me last Saturday, and
you saw it in my hand on Monday, and sew
eral gentlemen read it on the irst-named
day. Your implied charge against me of
falsehood, therefore, contained in the ques-
ton whether did not obtain the letter after
/ saw you on Monday, return to you with
the scorn and contempt which it deserves.

To the Editors Of The Daily Press:
like the Orthodox and Christian spirit Of
your remarks on the C6urier's protest against
The prayer offered by the Bishop of Ohio for
the Queen; the more so as some of us have
noticed in the Pass what we feared were
symptoms of slight falling away in those
qualities. But, do you think it good tact to
improve the occasion of the presence of the
an irregular prayer for the health and long
life of the Queen, whom he is to succeed
Might it not be regarded by a sensitive
youth, who had already been subjected to
some rude criticism in this city, as reflec-
tion on his capacity or promise? l, of course,
acquit the Bishop of any such intention; but
might not morbidly sensitive organization
so misconstrue il ONESIMUS. &

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY CONNECTION
Meeting of the Con'mittee.-A meeting of the
committee appointed at the meeting of cit
liens at the Merchants Exchange, to take
charge of matters connected with a rail con-
nection with the South, was held at the
