off tonight, and we hope that our citizens will
come forward in sufficient numbers to- insure her
substantial benefit. She has, ever since the open
ing Of the war, been very active in the cause of
the soldiers, and her services during the whole Of
that time have been. devoted to her country, and
now that she asks benefit for herself, ,she should
be encouraged most handsomely. The programme
for the occasion will be found in another column,
and twill be seen that it is exceedingly good.
DRAMATIC REPRESENTATION FOR TIE BENEFIToF
THE FREE MARKETING understand that several
patriotic youths, of whom Master j. B. Duff is the
leading spirit, are making preparation to get up
dramatic representation for the benefit of the Free
Market. The plays have been chosen for the oc-
casion, and several rehearsals have already been
had, in which the boys displayed great deal Of
| talent. The plays chosen for the occasion are
Grandfather Whitehead and "Don Cesar de
Bazan," and our readers rnaysreally expect to see
some good acting. We shall speak of the matter
| more at length in few days. 60 ,,

| CHTLp's LIFE SAvED.-The life Of a little. boy
about years old was saved by officer Roth, of the
Third District police, on Wednesday last, by which
| act he displayed qualities which reflect honor upon
him as man and an officer While riding down
the old shell road, near the draining machine, he
| observed three children playing near the edge of
the canal, and was aboat ;cautioning them to be
more careful, when one of them lost his balance,
fell in and Immediately sank in the muddy water.
1 To dismount, throw of his coat and jump into the
CANAL was only the work Of an instant for the hns
name officer; but at first he was unsuccessful in
finding the child. ContinniBg his search, he at last
found and brought him to the shore, though insen-
sible and to all appearance dead. Using every eS-
Eertion, he finally resuseitated, and carried him
home to his parents, Wholive opposite St. Bernard
market, Third District. . This narrow escape of
| their child should teach these people to be more
careful in future Of letting such infants run at
large. ...-...-.,...
