amounting in all to about $500. This fellow
went to Perrymansville and purchased II ticket
for Philadelphia, but getting on the wrong
| train, he proceeded only to Havre-de- Grace,
| where he WAS arrested by officer John Hopkins
who was on the alert, having been appraised
| by mir. Jones of the affair. He waa committed
| to Jail on Tuesday. The Bank stock, amouHt-
Ing to $l,t25, and $739 in cash, was recovered.
-9pusement-The Fakir of Ava amused large
au licences at the Institute last Frid nd Sat
| urday evening. The giving away Of 100 dit
ferent articles caused considerable excitement
| and the fortunate pefsons appeared TO be very
| happy. His tricks were calculated to s.artle
and astsnish, and the power OF performance
| by human agency seemed to be doubted by
many. The giving away OF pig, calf, stove,
furniture, &C, contributed more largely to fill
the house than his various nexplicable teets.
