Mn. M1LBrRS's LEcrrnE-Mr. Milburn
the blind preacher, will lecture this evening
at Metropolitan Hall, for the benefit Of the

NEW Cause.-The City Railway Company
hare recently brought ont four new street
cars, and have two more in the shop nearly
completed. They are unmistakably stronger,
and yet arc no heavier than the old ones, while
their exterior and interior finish, painting,
ornamcnting, upholsteriug, etc., leave them
in the shade, 1t is worthy Of mention that
the new cars arc Of Chicago manufacture, and
cost considerably less than the old ones which
are from the manufactory Of Eaton, Gilbert &
Co., Troy, N. 7.

mcnced an attack upon the proprietor, who,
in defense drew revolver, and fred three
shots, but without effect. Alta Inter hou,
they were arrested, when they at once re-
turned the pistol, and previous good char
acter having been shown to the Court, the
charge was changed to that Of disorderly con

TEE SECURKD-SEAT MoNoPoLY-We take
pleasure In calling attention to Mr., NcVick
er's card, In nnother column. This specu1a
tion in secured seats, ROW first commenced
in this city has grown to be great nuisance
IN Eastern cities. This is matter over whicl
the proprietor has no control, and the prope,
way in which to throttle the swind1c is not tc
bny secured seats from outside parties. In
some instances these spectators have RI,
ceiced as high as $500 for two secured seats
desirably situated. Let theatre .goers put
their veto upon this swindle, Seats are
already sold for the whole week, and as many
are now sold for Friday night as there were

DANGEROUS CoUN1ERFE1T,-A new and
dangerous counterfeit Of tlyes on the Bristol
County Bank, of Trenton, Massachusetts. was
put In circulation in this city on Saturday.
The engraving is coarse and poor, but is, nev-
erthe1ess, very close imitation Of the old
plates Of the bank, and therefore dangerous.
It's description is as follows: Vignettc, three
blacksmfths, forge, etc; lower right corner,
trim Of cars crossing a bridge or viaduct; 1cft
lower corner, girl with sickle and sheaf Of
grain. We understand that the bank issues
two different plates Of the denomination OF
dyes, In one Of which the yigncttc is the in
terror Of foundry, with five men at work !;
the other is q forge with three men. The
safest way is to refuse the latter. Parties who
hare received any Of these countcrfeits arc re-
4uested to report to Superintendent Rehn,
Of the Central Police Station.
NAVIGATION NOT OPENED YET.-The report
In circulation on Saturday, upon which nc
based our iten,) to the effect that vessels had
cleared at Chicago for Eastern ports, proves
to be untrue, and was probably put in circula.
t1on By some heavy shipper with the idea Of
reducing freights.
Geo. sturges yesterday received dispatch
from Capt. Ward, that the head Of Lake Eric
was full Of ice, as was also the head Of Lake
st. Clair; the Propeller Dubuque had tried
the Ice, md, unable to get through, had re.
turned.
Marine insurance docs not commence until
April 1st, and few If any vessels will start out
uninsured. However, the Western Transpor-
tation Co., and n. 7. Central R. R. Co.. in.
