EVENINGS WITH HERRNANN.-0ne of the
most interesting events of the season, in the
amusement line, will be the opening per-
Torrance of HERMANN, the Physiological eur,
which takes place this evening at Brainard's
Hall. 1t is some FIVE years since he gave a
few exhibitions in this city which excited
great interest from the extraordinary dex-
terity and simplicity of the feats. Unaided
by any of the usual accessories of his art, he
performs in the midst of his audience, sub
ject to the closest scrutiny, tricks infinitely
more ingenious than any hat have previ-
ously been exhibited here. Since his last
visit he has Travelled over a great part of
Europe and Asia, astonishing Princes and
Pashas with his wonderful performances.
He will now appear among us but for two
nights, with an entirely new budget of nov-
elites, many of them of Asiatic origin, but
greatly improved upon. Wherever he has
appeared, he has met with unbounded sue
cess, the papers everywhere speaking in the
highest praise. The programme this even
ing is as follows:
1. japanese Frame. .. The Egg, Ching
ching" 8. Wedding Ring in Danger. 4
Benares Cage. 5. Egyptian Miser. 6. The
Mysterious Glass. Z. ImpromPtu Voyage.
s. Marabout Moka. 9. Incombustible Ma
tochykilou. 10. Concert Monstre.
Seats are rapidly being disposed of at
Brainard's music store. We predict he viii
have a full house each evening of his APP
pearance. Tomorrow afternoon a grand
matinee for ladies and children will be
given. Admission 50 cents.

Card from d. A. DangIer. ESQ.

CLEVELAND, November q, 1865.
Editor of Leader :"
DEAR SIR.-In your issue of this morning
1 notice an item referring to a contemplated
visit of Committee, (of which l am one)
to Detroit for the purpose of examining into
their new system of police. The reading of
the item referred to would suggest the BE-
lief that the Committee would make said
visit at the expense of the city, and at the
instance of the city government. Such is
not the case.
Since have been appointed a member of
the Police Committee, and became aeaHaint-
ed with the working Of our present system;
/ have been aware of its radical defects, and
felt the necessity there was for . ~.iapco
and have visited New W, in order 70 Sx,
sInsne 'He ..yrKing of their system of Me-
,ropolitan Police, and having recently
learned that Detroit had a similar system,
only in a modified form, I nave init
mated that | should visit Detroit for the
purpose of information; and when satisfied
that it would be to the interest of Cleveland
to introduce a similar system here; and that
such q change would meet the approval 81
a majority of our citizens; l should en-
deaVof during the coming winter 10 present
the matter to our Legislature, and if posi-
bic, have such a law passed as would give
us the benefit Of such a system at the ear
lest moment
l wish it distinctly understood, however,
that oil have donO and contemplate doing
is entirely for my own information, and at
my own expense, and all the reward l hope
for or expect to receive is the satisfaction OF
accomplishing that which will be for the
benefit of our city.
| have the honor to be, Sir,
Yours very truly,
ID. A, DANGLER.

ARREsT OF THtsYES-REcovERY OF THEIR
PLrNpEs.-A gentleman from Sheffield, Lo-
rain county, informed us yesterday, tfat a
large number of therts have been recently
committed II THAT township, and in Avon,
RidgeViile and Elyria. Farmers have lost
harnesses, saddles, buffalo robes, chickens
and turkeys mills had been sdckrd and
he mentioned, il particular, the theft Of $500
worth Of Wool owned by Mr., Townsend, Of
Avon
We saw this identical property, we have
10 doubt, last night, at the city prison. 1t
was recovered, on Tuesday, by Deputy Mar
slal Samuel Furnal, assisted by police Off
GERS Helsby. Sewer and Jones. The story,
in brief, is as follows:
On Monday, Mr.. Butler, of Ridgeyille,
called OF Deputy Furnal, and told him of
the thefts recently committed in his section,
and that he suspected that the brothers,
named Ted and " Jack Williamson, of
this city, had a hand in the matter. These
" boys" live on st. Clair street with their
mother. Mr.. Furnal, on Monday night,
sent the three officers named above to this
house. The boys were at home. Mr.. Hels-
by asked "Ted" when he was last at the
house of George Bond in Ridgeville? He
replied, About a week ago. And when were
you, Jack? persisted the officer. About a
month since, the latter said. We will search
your house. They insisted on seeing the
search warrant, and the police having none
the boys were marched to prison. An
officer was left in the house to look after things
until a search warrant should be taken out.
1t was procured next morning, and a search
tured up to light four barrels of flour, two
ditto of sorghum syrup, two buffalo robes, a
costly silver plated harness, two saddles, a
number of bags, &C., &c. Sometime during
the night the old lady, Mrs. Williamson,
managed to throw the harness out of doors,
between her house and that adjoining. On
The strength of this act, she was also locked
up, as a probable party to the crime.
On Tuesda- Jack called officer Helsby
into the prison, and told him where he could
find a lot of wool. He said Bond had en-
gagged him to rent a barn, and he secured
one on Oregon street. There Bond had
slowed away some six hundred pounds of
wool. The officers found it as described.
Thinking they might capture Bond and his
step-son, John L~inconlelter, they wen yes
terday morning to watch the house of the
Williamson's. They were in the house, but
Bond escaped. Lineonfelter was arrested,
and is locked up. Elyria officers, whom
Deputy Furnal telegraphed to visit Bonds
premises in Ridgeville, found many stolen
goods on his place, but did not succeed in
capturing the thief. He is a cunning old
sinner, and may battle the officers.
Jack Williamson was last evening released
on bail in the sum of $500, given by a Ger
mar friend named Coons.
The officers engaged in the working up of
this case deserve credit for their skill and
gumption.

WEDNESDAY, EvENlNs, Nov. %, 1865.
The money market continues to rule about
as reported for the past ten days, the triAing
daily changes in either direction making so
little difference in the aggregate condition
as to be hardly noticed. The demand for
discounts is fair, not large, but bankers per
sist in keeping on the inside track, and the
paper that finds acceptance is strictly of the
selected class. To keep balances well in
hand, and thus be prepared for any exigen-
cy, seems to be the common pQrpose-at all
events such is the uniform course. There is,
however, it should be remarked, very little
other thar a legitimate call for money at.
present, chiefly from merchants, who are
not buying beyond the wants Of their bust
ness. There is nothing doing in any de-.
partment of trade that looks to the future
for reimbursement Currency is close, but
there is no complaint of st~ringency, and
were business in a settled condition, the
supply of money would probably be found
sufficient to meet Tho necessities Of trade.
Exchange continues close, though with a
moderate demand the ~stringeney is not Sc
riously felt. There is scarcely any making.
Rates remain firm at par buying and / pre-
MUM selling.
Gold rules very steady. The demand is
almost exclusively for customs, to the amount
of about two and a half millions per week,
which is nearly balanced by interest pay
ments and Treasury sales. The supply Of
cash gold is reported easy. The price closed
this afternoon at 1859. Government bonds
were stronger in New York to-day, butwith-
out decided change in price. In this mar
ket rates were steady and unchanged. The
demand is chiefly for Seven-thirties, only q
very moderate business being done in gold
bonds: The following were the ruling price:

day:

ARRIVAL OF NEW York TRooPs.-The I'd
New York Veteran Cavalry, whose expected
arrival at three o'clock yesterday morning,
we noted in our last issue, did not reach this
city until eight o'clock. 1t is in command
of Major E. VsnVost, and numbers 532 men
and 81 officers. Organized at Saratoga
Springs, Dec. 5th 1868, it went into active
service under Colonel NJ. H. Chrysler, 1900
strong. The Colonel is now Brigadier Gen
eral. The regiment has seen much hard
fighting, having been engaged in no less
than twenty-five battles and more than a
hundred skirmishes. The reduced num-
bers also speak well for the courage Of, and
part borne by, the gallant veterans.
The regiment came from Talladega, Ala
bama, where it has been stationed for some
time. It is en- route to Albany, to be mus
tered out. The boys were supplied with a
capital breakfast, when they took a special
train for the East.

IMPORTANT TO THE IADIEs-A FIRST CLASS
HAIR DRESSING AND FURNISHING ESTABLISH
HENT.-As the gay season draws TO its coin
mencement many ladies desire to know
where they may supply themselves to best
advantage with that most charming of all
female attractions, a beautiful head of hair.
Those who wish to obtain switches, water
falls of all styles, puffs, &C., &c, or who
would learn where they may find the most
finished hair dresser, we would direct TO Mr..
William Day, whose establishment is at No.
46 south side Public Square. You cannot
mistake the place. In his show window
stands the elegant female wax figure which
bore off the premium at the Worlds Fair
in London. She has just been tricked
out in white muslin, and her har
done up in the very latest Partisan
fashion. The style is a novel ono,
and not without beauty and most striking
effect. The hair dom up thus would make
any head look msgnifcently, no matter
whether it contained buttermilk or the
brain of Mrs. Browning. The ladies of the
city should take a look at this figure and the
latest patent inspiration from Paris.
In this connection we will also advise the
public that Mr.. Day has the largest, most
varied, carefully selected and costly stock
of hair imported from France that can be
found in this city. His drawers are treas
uries. He has also on exhibition switches
which, for length, f~ullness, beauty, &c /,
fairly set the female heart palpitating.
Waterfalls, puffs, and hair wrought up into
all sorts of devices and styles, set off his es-
Enlistment. Remember the place, No. 46
Public Square.

ROAD FROM LAKE 0NTARio TO New YORK.
Last Wednesday evening a large conven-
ton assembled at the City Hall, Syracuse,
to consider the projectof constructing a new
trunk line of railway from Lake Ontario
(Oswego) to New York City, via Syracuse
and to take such measures as might lead tc
an early construction of such a route. The
project was discussed with great earnest
ness, and a committee appointed to take the
matter in hand.

is now building for the purpose of testing
the idea. The air is to be compressed al
each end of the route, and placed in reser
voirs, which look like exaggerated soda
fountains. The reservoirs are to be cast
iron and capable of resisting a pressure o
800 pounds to the square inch. Each car 4
to be supplied with one OF more ofthe reser
voirs at each end of the route, the com.
pressed air on each car being sufficient Il
run a distance of ten miles. The compressed
air is to be applied to cranks on the cars il
a manner similar to steam, and is to be Sc
regulated with governors that a uniform
rate of speed may he maintained at al
times. With compressed air il is supposed
that the cars may be run at an expense no,
exceeding two dollars a day each.
