DEATH OF A WELL-KNowN CoMPosIToR.
The many friends of John @. Stuart will
be deeply panied to hear of his DEATH which
occurred on the 9th inst, in Wilmington,
Delaware. Mr.. Stuart was well and favor
ably known in this city, having been en-
ployed in several of our daily newspaper
offices, and also in st. Louis, where he fol-
lowed his avocation for several years.
Like so many of his profession, Mr.. Stuart,
highly intelligent, warm-hearted and gen.
erous-souled fellow, fell a victim to that in
sidious and subtle foe of life, consumption
a disease 80 often superinduced by the con-
tnuous labor and exhausting toll INSOFAR
ably associated with the life Of a compositor
upon daily journal in great city.
There are few of his craft or racquaintances,
who, when they hear of his demise, will not
pause moment to bestOw a thought of af-
tection upon his goodness, and recall some
noble act he was so happy to perform.
he died, we are grati6ed TO say, in the
bosom of relatives, who fondly cherished
him, and his last sigh was exhaled in an
atmosphere made sacred by sympathy and
love.
Another of that strange, sad, willful, gen.
erous class, of which he was noble speci-
men, has departed to his eternal rest. We
hang for him and his tear-dropping gar
land upon his tomb, and pray for the spirit
gone an undying peace.

How THE PRINCE OF WALES OBTAINED Ap-
MISSION TO THE New YORK BALL:-It has
been very confidently asserted, says the New
York Times, that the Prince of Wales on
appearing at the Academy Ball in a blue
waistcoat with gold buttons, was refused ad
mittance by the modern Petronius who pre-
sided over the Committee of Reception, and
forced to return to his hotel there to don
the regulation black, which we have the
high authority of Mr.. Peter Cooper for re-
garding the ne Plus ultra of full dress.
We are assured that all this is entirely
wide of the record. The first glory of the
gas-lights which fell upon the form of
EDgland's royal heir did indeed amaze the
venerable arbiter of New York elegance
with an azure CLEAN about the Princes
youthful breast. But on throwing back the
lapels of the Princes coat, and Completely
inspecting his under-garments, it was dis
covered that the Objectionable effect was
produced by the broad, blue ribbon of the
Garter; and although in the circular of the
Committee no exception had been made in
favor of this article Of attire, yet, after much
deliberation, in which a clergyman, a halter,
q judge and two medical men took part, it
was finally decided that if garters were ex-
cluded in one case they must be in all cases,
and the Prince was, accordingly permitted
to pass.

ROMAN CHARIOT RACE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco never was a very mortal city.
AS it grows older we fear it grows worse.
Judging by the following from a recent Alta
Californian: "The Roman chariot race, over
the Pioneer Course, was a curious attraction,
and drew crowds. The drivers were Misses
Hortense Stevenson and Annette Baker, who
drove three heats around the course ut full
gallop. They were dressed in Roman tunics,
with not a superfuity of drapery while the
trappings of the horses double teams) were
in Imitation of ancient regalia, such as is
seen in the antique paintings. The first beat
was made in two minutes ten seconds; the
second in two minutes twenty-five seconds,
the third In two minutes thirty-four seconds
the two competitors coming In very nearly
side by side, but Miss Stevenson taking the
prize, which was diamond cross from
fuckers jewelry store. The crowd cheered
tremendously, bets ran high, and there was
an exciting time generally. The driving
was remarkable for its daring and rapidity.h

A DUEL IN JEST Proves PAINFUL
TRAGEDY.-A Southern gentleman, in an
article in the Boston EUsning Express, re-
garding noted afrays and duels in the South,
gives the following, which occurred upward
Of thirty years ago, at Petersburg, Virginia:
A shocking affair took place some thirty or
more years since, at Petersburg, Va, Some
young men, doubling the courage of friend
and companion, arranged a plan to draw
him into duel with one of the number-the
seconds to be in the plot, and the pistols to
be loaded without balls. The duel was ar.
ranged, but during the preliminaries, the in
tended victim was led to suspect the truth,
but kept silent. On repairing to the field
the father of the principal in the plot hid
himself in the bushes near by to witness the
anticipated sport.
A shot was exchanged-Without effect, of
course. The supposed coward demanded a
second fire, and the same result followed.
He then stated that, anticipating the posi-
bility of this, he had provided couple of
pistols, which he produced, and which he
pledged his honor were carefully loaded, and
rendered them for the choice Of his oppo-
nent. The farce was ended, and the in
tended joke became fearful reality, as the
result proved. The distance being but five
PAGES, both fell at the first fre-one killed
outright, and the other mortally wounded.
What were the feelings of the father, as
he bore his dead son from the field of sport

COUNTY MATTERs.-The County Engineer,
Jas. b. Bell, recommended yesterday morn
ing to the Board of County Commissioners,
the immediate repair of the superstructure

the trusting up of the bridge and other
repairs, and the laying of new floor, which
If done, would last some FIVE or six years.
The cost of entire repairs would not exceed
$500. ar.

A New York SPORTING JOURNAL IN LEGAL
DIFFICULTY.-A case recently came before
the New York courts, in which Thomas b
Thorpe brought action against Edward ri
Jones and Richard Hays, Of the Spirit of tht
Times. This is an action to dissolve part
nership hitherto existing between the parties
to the action in the publication Of that
widely known and Oldest sporting paper in
the United States.
The plaintiff, who is the author of "TOm
Owens, the Bee Hunter" and other Western
sketches, claims 10 be an equal partner in
the concern, and alleges that the paper, as at
present conducted, is rapidly on the decline,
and that the defendants will soon ruin the
partnership unless the publication of the
paper is taken out Of their hands.
The plaintiff AYERS that although an equal
partner in the business, still the defendants
have usurped authority, and that they ffe-
quently throw out articles he intended for
publication, thus depriving him Of that
right and authority 10 which his position
entities him. He AYERS that, notWithstand-
ing the present low condition of the paper,
il could soon be made, by proper manage
ment, a valuable publication, and 10 return
large and remunerative income.

An Eccentric Character in EprInnd.

The inhabitants of the New Forest. in
England, have long been acquainted with an
eccentric character named William Cutler
who, some years ago, quilted his farm, leav-
ing the gathered crops in the wagons, until
both the homestead, the grain, and the
wagons, fell into complete decay, and erected
wretched hovel on some property belong
ing to the Earl of Normanton, at Ashley
Heath, where he was locally designated the
Forest Robinson Orusoe." at this place he
turned his attention to bee keeping. The
Bees proved great annoyance to a neighbor-
ing farmer, who represented the inconyeni-
ence to which he was subjected to the Earl
of Normanton; but neither entreaty nor the
offer OF money or another piece of land on
the part OF the noble Earl's agents could in
duce Cutler to move. A warrant of election
was recently obtained, and it was placed for
execution in the hands of a sheriff's officer.
A few days ago the officer procured plenty
of help and proceeded to put the warrant
into execution. He found between 200 and
300 hives of live bees. How they were to
be removed was difficult question. Cutler
moved among them in safety; they lodged
upon his arms and body without stinpfnp
him but the Sheriff's representatives ex.
perienced sharp reception. After some
maneuvering they got Cutler to the hedge
bounding the place, and as far as possible
from the hives, which they were much
afraid he would upset. He declared he was
determined to stop, and he was therefore
put into cart, the horse was driven of, and
he was left on the highway, at a consider
able distance from the place at which he
commenced his involuntary journey. Gut
ler's wife, an invalid, was next carefully re-
moved by some females. The bees could not
be safely meddled with in the daytime, and
it took the men three whole nights to re-
move the bees to piece of Cutters land, an
orchard, seven miles distant. They were
stung severely, and were heartily glad when
they had concluded their novel and un-
pleasant task.

S. G. Menzies' appeared at the Police Court

Allonzo W. Churchill, charging him with
"unlawfully exercising the office of gauger
and inspector Of domestic spirits, without

of Cincinnati" GO. Address caused a like
warrant to be issued against William Skill
linger, charged with the same offense. The
affair will be brought before Judge Lowe
