Mr.. KINGS LEcTURE.-There was a very
fair audience at the Theater on Thursday eve
ming, to hear the lecture Of Mr.. King, on "Lex-
ington Battle and the New Struggle for Lib
erty." The lecture was we'll received through
out, and frequently applauded. An interesting
feature of the lecture was the recitation Of
Lonfellow's poem, entitled "Paul Revere's
Ride" This poem was publishedin the Allan
tic Monthly, of January last, and we presume
had been read by the most of those present, but
we heard a number remark that they never
really appreciated the beauty of the poem until
they heard Mr.. King recite it.

match has been made up for fight between
Halls dog Tom" and McCourt's "Sport,"

will take place in Tracy's Pavilion, on Broad
street, at four O'Clock in the afternoon. After
the principal match is decided, the fighting
qualities of number Of other dogs, Of less
note, will be tested. From the excitement and
rush for every little dog fight that occurs on the
street, we judge the Pavilion will be crowded,
20 witness the intellectual entertainment.
AN INCIDENT. As Frank Alverton, the
driver Of the Omega stage, on his down trip
yesterday, made short turn on the turnpike,
he came upon man standing in the middle of
the road, who leveled at him pistol and
snapped the cap. Alverton asked the fellow
what he meant, but got no answer, though
from his actions he was supposed to be either
drunk or crazy. He made no further hostile
demonstration, and stepped aside when Alver-
ton told him to get out Of the road

ing these pipes is progressing rapidly. During
the present week, both sets of pipes have been

that the water can be used for FIRE purposes in
every part of town.

were raised at Wentworths Mill, or Gold Flat,
