They Just got there as the mail train came
in from the west, and on its starting out,
the unnatural mother jumped aboard, and
left the boy to carry home nothing but the
news Of her flight. The child was given
over into the hands of the trustees.-SaLeH7

AeADExI OF MUsro.-Miss Western had a
full house and an enthusiastic reception
last evening, the last Of her very success
fl season. The rendition of Cynthia was
most excellent, and gave the greatest de-
light of all Tho OftorPiAeo; poor piece
ia itself, was, we regret to say, poorly per-
formed. Its loose and shambling style of
construction was only made worse by the
manner in which it was played. There
are several Objectionable features in the
piece, and altogether we hope we have
seen tho last of it.
To night that unexeelle comedian, Mr..
James Lewis, takes his annual benefit.
a splendid bill will be presented. The
performance will open with the famous
c'medy "Paul Pry," with Mr.. Lewis in
the leading character. The little drama
o. "The CorPorsi's Wedding" with Mr..
Lewis as Corporal Cobb, will next be given,
and the closing piece will be that richest
of farces, "Ths Ghost" with Mr.. Lewis
in his great part of "DiggOry." The bill
is a grand one, and the house will be pack
ed.
On Monday the eelebIated tragedisn,
sTcKesu Buchanan, will commence brief
engagement in this city. His opening
piece is London Assurances"
BESEFGT OF Mr.. JANIS LEwlS.-We need
not remind our readers of the fact that this
evening is set apart, at the Academy of
Music, for the celebration of grand festi-
val of fun-the annual benefit of that ire
sstibie low comedian, Mr.. James Lewis.
Nor need we say word Of commentator
Tor this popular and unriTslled actor, He
Is already one of the most popular sctors
that ever appeared On Cleveland boards
AID deservedIy 80. We know Of no actor
il the West superior to Mr.. Lewis in his
chosen r0Lss. He is always original, never
vulgar, and invariably funny He will
compare favorably with many comedians
low successful as stars. We snail expect
t. see the academy crowded, to night.
The bill for the evening Is immense. 1t
offers three pieces to the public, in each of
which Mr.. Lawis takes the leading char
aeter-''Paul Pry," in which Mr.. Lewis is
the hero; "The COrPoral's Daughter, i" with
Mr. Lewis as Corporal Cobb; and "The
Ghost" with Mr.. Lewis in his great rols
of Diggory Give him rousing benefit

MELANCHOLY DEAFH sT DEowEISe.--It be-
comes our painful task to record another
tragedy. which occurred yesterday at the
dock abre> st the Pittsburgh Freight Depot.
Darnell 0'Hasss!t was standing on the
wharf at that point, and in a somewhat
mysterious manner fell into the river, and
vas drowned before assistance could be
given him. He was somewhat old and alb
seut-minded, however, and was totally
bind withal, 50 that it is not altogether
mystery, his tum6ling into the stream.
A score or two Of man from the depot and
the vessels lying near gathered instantly
at the spot, and with the aid of boats, poles,
ropes, &c, soon succeeded in uplifting the
body and securing it.
He was somehow attached to dray,
which, as it was backed of the dock in
to the river, drew him along with it, and
as the dray sank with slaerity, he could
not disengage himself, nor be disengaged
from it, before he had breathed his last.
It is very melancholy casualty. Darnell
0 O'Hassets was q common laborer, and quite
a successful speculatOr in oats. The de-
ceased, although not widely known, was
highly respected and beloved by those who
knew him best. Faithful in the perform
ance Of his duties, Of great natural kindly
ness and deep affections, mis- attachments
were very strong, and he leaves circle of
sincere friends TO mourn his loss.
On raising the corpse it was toTed By &
yawl out into the lake and committed to .
wide and wandering grave.
Gentle reader, drop a silent tear over the
sad fate Of this noble old blind korssI
DEATH OF NEHEMIAH CLARK-MoRE PAETIC-
uLARs.-Our readers will remember the
publication, in the LEApER of Wednesday
morning, of an item from the Buffalo Ez-
press, in regard to the sudden death of q
man named Nehemiah Clark, of Paines-
vile, at the National Hotel in Bufale.-
The PainesVille Telegraph has the follow
ing additional particulars;
Mr.. Clark left Painesvills on Thursday,
at o'clock P. N, and arrived in Buffalo
that night. On Friday his wife received
dispatch from Buffalo saying that her hus-
band was very low, and requesting her to
90 to him. She left Immediately
| At noon another dispatch came, after she
/ had left, stating that he was dead. Clark
never was a droTer-had about 5000 in
| money with him. The landlord of the
National Hotel took charge of his effects
and his bill from Thursday night to Sat
urday morning was S75, the Doctors
| bill $40, which with other expenses, the
coffin &c, used up pretty much the whole
of the $500.
Mrs. Clark is respectable woman, and
is the wife of the deceased. We are not
surprised. when she came to pay her bill
that she made hasty preparations to leave
that house.
Since the above was in type, We learn
that, in aidition TO the s75 paid tho Nation
al Hotel, the landlord kept Clark's tick
ct from Buffalo to New York, worth ten or
twelve dollars more. This is what we call
downright robbery.
