Tosso.-The concert on Wednesday
night Of last week at Dckasons Hall was pretty
fairly attended. We do not think Tosso is half so
good performer on the violin as Alf Howard.
And then he put in too much time trying to tell
some little yarns that had much better been omit
ted. He is poor talker-has thick tongue, and
q licentious look.
McCann's ventrlloquism, and representations of
characters were good Miss Young is very pref
ty young woman, and her singing was passable.
AS usual, the boys, from six to twelve years of
age, took the front seats, and amused themselves
by stamping, yelping, whistling, and smoking
pipes and cigars.

house of Jones, the barber. He requested Jones
to call for him on Saturday night, when he shut
up. At II o'clock Jones closed his shop and
went into Legg's saloon TO get the cook. He
found number Of men In the saloon. They ap-
peared to be foreigners, and furnace hands.
Jones and the other colored man stepped into
back room to get some refreshments. While
they were eating, the men in the saloon became
bolstcrOus and were requested by Mr.. Lcgg to go
out They then became quite troublesome swear
ing that the negroes were playing cards, and were
allowed more privileges than white men. Being
again ordered out they went to another saloon,
but soon returned prepared, with their hands in
their pockets. They became very troublesome,
when Legg ordered them and the negroes all out.
Jones told Legg that the negroes would be abused
if they went out when the white men in the saloon
who were not acting with the gang of rufiians,
went with the negroes. At the Isham House post
the ruflians made stand, where general fight
ensucd. Jones was stabbed in the side, but the
knife struck his rib and his life was saved. The
rufians were pretty badly cut up, and had the
worst Off.
Jones has been in the army, and those who ex-
pect to bully him, had better look out.
