PNNEY's DANCING GACADEMY.-Professor
Pinney, the gentlemauly Dancing Teacher
of our city, is making preparations to give
grand exhibition of his pupils in dancing
at Naughton Hall, on Friday evening, June
I'd. The reputation that Mr.. Pinney has
acquired among our citizens, generally, as
a first-class teacher, entities him to the con-
sideration and support of parents desiring
to have their children instructed in the
graceful arts Of dancing and complacency
of manners. p His department among his
scholars has endeared him to all as a patient,
unassuming, yet thorough master of his
profession. - 5E,, -.-ru irr
His school was formerly organized in
Ambos Hall, but the want of room for the
coming exhibition induces him to occupy
Naughton Hall, which is more commodious.
Tickets can be obtained at Messrs. Seltzer.
Dresel & Co.'s Music Store, on State street.
Parents will be provided with tickets at 25
cents, and citizens so cents eachs No tick
cts sold at the door. Pupils desirous of at
tending, should be at Naughton Hall by 0
o'clock A. M.,punctually, on the morning

Moneys and Valuables Taken
from Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, May 3O-The Star says ::
A paragraph recently appeared and has
been extensively copied in the papers,
which seems to have created misappre-
hension in the minds of many persons
who are interested in the moneys and
other valuables taken from Union pris-
oners by Confederate officials, portion of
which has lately been turned over to Gen.
Mulford, United States Agent of Exchange,
for distribution among the proper claim
ants. The article to which allusion is made
says Gen. Milford has in his possession
$4,000 in greenbacks and small sum in
gold and silver being portion of that
taken from our soldiers when captured by
the rebels, and is to be distributed pro rata
among those proving their right to it. A
note from Gen. Milford, dated Richmond,
says:
$50 much of this as relates to the distri-
button of the property is incorrect. l am
only authorized to pay such claims as are
verified by the invoices and records receiv-
ed by me with the property. The balance,
if any, will be disposed of in such manner
as the proper authority may direct. re-
spectfully request all persons who have
claims for valuables taken from them by
the enemy to forward at once full state
ment of the name, rank and organization,
date and place of capture, amount ,and
kind of property taken, with the name and
rank Of the party receiving the same, also
giving full and plain directions how, to
whom and where they may desire such
property, If found, forwarded. | would
also give notice that large number of
packages addressed and sent to Union pris-
Oners of war in the South previous to the
evacuation OF Richmond, are in my posses
sion., Letters of inquiry or instructions
concerning which may be addressed to me,
and will receive prompt attention"

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Lewis Il. Bates

tion, and testified substantially as follows:
Have resided at Charlotte. N. c., for the
last four years. Jefferson Davis stopped at
his house on the 10Th of April, and made an
address from the steps. Davis received and
read to the crowd telegram from General
Breckinridge. dated Greensboro, April 10Th,
as follows: ''President Lincoln was assassi-
mated In the theater on the night OF the
18th inst. Secretary Stewards house was
entered on tile same night, and he was re-
peatcdly stabbed and is probably mortally
wounded" The witness said that after
reading this dispatch to the crowd Davis
said, III 1t were to be done 1t were better
1t was well done" The day after Breckin-
ridge and Davis conyersed In the house of
witness on the subject of the assassination.
Breckinridge remarked to Davis that he
regretted it very much; 1t was unfortunate
for the people of the South and the time.
The regret seemed to be the cause of SYM
pathy tor the South, and not because Of the
crimnality of the act. Davis replied,
"Well, General, don't know. If it1were
to be done at all, 1t were better it were well
done; and If the same were done to Andy
johnson and Secretary Stanton the job
would then be complete" '~Hsgg.t' t.
j. 9. Courtney, a telegraph operator, tes-
titled that the telegram in question passed.
ed over the wires.
Jacob Riotlerspaugh testified: He was
employed in Eord's theater when the Pres
ident was shot. He saw the assassin run
across the stage, and followed him. He
found the door hard to open. When wit
ness returned Spangler stopped him, say
ing, "For Gods sake don't say which way
Booth went.n
Witness was called for Harold. and said
he had always been regarded as light and
trifling boy and easily influenced.
Jerry Dyerwas called for the defense, and
testified that he had intended to say he had
not crossed the Potomac since 1861, but did
go to Richmond at that time with the party
who had been sleeping in the pines.
Cross examined: The parties we're Benja-
min and Andrew Gwynne. Never saw JEFF.

and did not meet any rebel officials ex-
cept Taylor, when he went to get pass.

THE Act TO PREVENT ANIMALS PROM
RUNNING AT LARGE.-Among the acts of
general interest," passed at the last session
of our State Legislature, is one to prevent
''horses, mules, cattle, sheep, goats, swine
or geese" from running at large.
The provisions of this act are very strin-
gent and its penalties severe-a fine of from
one to five dollars being exacted for every
Otfense. The only limitations upon the law
are these: The County Commissioners may
pass an order that any cattle may run at
large, in any part of the county, if they
think proper. If they do not do so, all
stock must be kept up, unless the individual
owners shall obtain a special permit from
the township trustees for certain specified
animals to run iii the highways.

WASHINGTON, May 30.--Gen. Grant has
ordered all places where liquor is sold
within the District of Columbia to be clos
ed until further orders. This is in conse-
quence of the large number of struggling
soldiers in this city and neighborhood, and
to prevent the recurrence ofoccasional dis
turbance from the use of liquors. ? Iis
The Star says there is no truth in the
statement that refusal has been made on
the part of Secretary Stanton to surrender
JEFF. Davis to the civil authorities here for
trial. Davis will doubtless be tried here
under the Indictment of the criminal court
OF the District of Columbia.
