the opera Of Is Lucie de Lammermoor" We're pre-
scented at'the theatre last night.
1t is TO be regretted that NJ. Duplan's debut was

On Saturday last q man answering TO the

cavalry and made inquiries about the road
to New York. He was met by a oolorsd boy
As he emerged from an extensive swamp in
the neighborhood, and asksd the eOiorod
boy, who appeared on the outskirts Of the
homestead, 10 there were any soldiers in the
house. The boy said "no, :" and the stranger
approached.
Mrs. Born met the traveller, and, on hear
ing his interrogatiOns, called her husband
from his tea-tabls to direct the stranger TO
New York. The Colonel went out, and
suspecting on examination that he was not
all right, asked him to 20 back TO the house
and have supper and lodging.
The fellow started with Col Born, and de-
livored over his bundle. The Colonel soon
discovered that pistol was concealed In the
bundle, which was Artfully made up.
Soon after the two started for Col. BOWS
house, Mrs. Born discovered that the
stranger was making tracks TO the rear and
she made known the fact TO her husband.
Colonel Borp then instituted pursuit,
which lasted for three miles, the fugitive
crossing creek up 10 his neck. The rascal
was secured at last, and has been broughs 10
