MANCHESTER AYYAIRa.
From our Reporter In that Town.

THE LADIES' MEETIS6.-There was quite
respectable attendance at the ladies' meet
ing on Thursday evening. The 2lst Of July
was selected as the day on which the graves
of the Confederate dead will be dedicated.
Let this cause be sustained by all parties,
and success is sure. On Monday We will
publish full list Of the officers and mana
gers Of the Association.
THE MALE MEMoRIALIsTs.-Only few
persons were present at the Town Hall on
Thursday night. We are requested, how
ever. 10 state that all parties willing to
assist in fixing up the graves OF the Con-
fcderate dead can leave their names With
+. X. Harding during the ensuing week;
and may We not hope that there will be
many-it will cost you nothing, and we
adjure you, by the memories Of the past,
and by your love for yotf dead comrades,
as well as for the good name of our town,
! to turn out in strong force.
STREETs.-The town hands have been
busy grading and fixing Bainbridge street,
near Barney, for some days past, and have
improved its appearance. The force has
been considerably reduced, and we think
those that are now employed should have
their wages increased to living standard.
THE CouRTs.--The usual weekly trial Of
civil warrants was held on Thursday by
Justice SnelliDgs. Quite number Of
cases were disposed Of.
Hubbard Ragsden, colored, was arrested
by officers Jarvis and Simmons for abusing
and threatening Charlotte Bowman, color
ed. Justice Mason fined him three dollars
and costs.
William Johnson, colored, was arraigned
before Justice Gentry for trespassing upon
Frederick Weisiger and forcing an en-
trance into his kitchen. Sent on for fur
ther trial.
Felix LAUDER, lemon peddler, for expos
ing his wares without license, had his
stock c0niscated by Justice Hancock. II
men will "go i'm lemons" illegally, they
must expect to be squeezed.
HARMoNr.-Somc of our friends who
delight in melody and minstrelsy have or
ganzed the Manchester Baptist Musical
Association, and meet at the Baptist
Church every Tuesday evening at half-past
S o'clock. President, W. L. Hatcher;
Vice President, l.. X. Chiles; Secretary,
p. S. Wrcm: Treasurer, Mrs. +. W. Smell
ings Librarian, Miss Harriet Jeter. We
expect that this Association will bring to
light great deal of the hidden musical
talent of our town, Is well as greatly i'm
prove their own, which is by no means of
an inferior quality.
PLEASANT.--Our slumbers were dis
turbed on Thursday night by the enliyen-
ing and melodious strains of music, which
we found proceeded from band of sable
musicians who were honoring some of our
citizens with serenade. The music was
very good, as was the behavior of the
baud. Their performance of Dixie re-
called pleasant "reminiscences Of days gone
by, when we marched in the ranks to its
soul-stirring notes.

The PERFORMANCES AT THE THEATRE on
Thursday night were exceedingly enter
tanning. The ladies and the little girls
charmed us with the ease of their move
mentS, the elegance Of their poses, and the
natural manner which characterized their
entire conduct. The gentlemen did we'll
most of them, not all. The "Charades 4"
were performed with great good taste and
livelincSS. The Statuary was cXcellently
represented. The tableauX generally were
beautiful. Where there was SO much to
praise, we should be censorious indeed TO
find fault. But we could not, if we would,
and would not if we could, say word IN
diSparagement of the attractive perform
ances on this occasion. 1t was really sur
prising that persons not accustomed to
appearing before the public could so well
take the characters which were repre-
sented on this occasion.
"Thc Goddess of Peace" and "The
Soldiers Dream" received universal lau-
dation "The Maniac Lover" was not so
good. "Thc Spirit of Science Unwilling
Ignorance and Prejudice" came next.
Matrimony" was highly entertaining.
We recognized "Denis," and, in spite OF
himself, will say that he is a capital Paddy.
We cannot say how well We liked the
ladies' parts in this piece tor fear of seem
ing to fatter, or of touching forbidden
subject. "The Enchanted Isle' was a
fairy vision. "Scenes from Pickwick y
merely passable. "Virginius and Daugh-
ter" good enough. The three tableaux
from "Lalla Rookh" were very pretty
Cain and Abel "-an unpleasant subject,
not capable of affording pleasure, but well
given. "The Mistake" was entertaining
indeed; and here again We are forbidden
to say what we might of the charming lady
performers. The "Circassian Captive
and America: The Captives "were salts
factory. "Victory" did not strike us as q.
being very good. "The Gipsy's Festival "
was magnificent concluding performance.
The singing was all good, except the
song brought out by an encore.
The entertainment last evening passeu
off equally as well, and were as wen ap-
preciated as those of Thursday night.

ESCAPE OF THE IMPRISONED CANNES
Yesterday morning the dog-catchers were
out bright and early, and by O'Clock had
made large haul. The confined CANNES
were, most of them, destined, however, to
see another sun rise, for as the cart reached
the corner of Fourth and Leigh streets,
down came the cart with crash. The
scene that followed was one of universal
panic among the Gagged animals. Each one
thought that his neighbor had attacked
him, and fight followed that threatened
to be as annihlating to the brutes as any
Kilkenny cat fight that ever took place,
The officer in charge of the train ordered
that the prisoners should be transferred to
a lot near by; but he could not succeed in
his attempts to do SO, for as soon as the
door was raised, the terrified animals made
such a rush through it that it was impossi,
BILE to stop them until the great portion
had escaped.
The dog-catchcrs were out again i'll the
evening, the cage having been repaired and
put in order for the reception Of lucklcs'
dogs. Before night it was filled. About
thirty goats were also captured, and viii
be sold this morning at 10 o'clock.

"is finishing because the house cannot
finish itself. An intransitive sentence
should be distinguished from transitive
bv this very word "being." Thus, we
would write, "Thc rain is falling" "The
man is running" The horse is gallop-
ping" these being intransitive participlcs !;
but we should change the form in using
activc-transitivc participles, and say, "The
house is being built" The rubbish is be-
ing removed" and again change it in
employing transitive (but not active) par
ticiplcs, and write, "John is loved" "Jane
is admired"

A GREAT DAY FOR IRELASD.-Mary Do
herty, charged with unlawfully beating
Thomas Groman, was examined on yester-
day by Justice Wade. The defendant,
who had taken out II counter-warrant
against Groman, was represented by Mr..
Wise. while Mr.. Davis acted as counsel for
Groman. The case was an ordinary Irish
row, and both parties, as usual, appeared
to be to blame. Mary Doherty was not
satisfied with the appearance of affairs in
court. and delivered very racy grafton,
detailing the "facts" of the case, which
caused much amusement TO the Justice
and Constables. After hearing both sides,
Justice Wade bound both parties over to
keep the peace.

Look OFT FOR THEM.-Wc have noticed on
our streets within Il few days number OF
suSpicious-looking characters, such as in
tested our city about twelve months ago,
and on calling the attention Of our police
to them, learned that information had been
received at headquarters that band OF
notorious thieves, pickpockets, and CARO-
tcrs had started for this place, and these
fellows are supposed to be the advance
guard. As Major Claiborne and his men
have their eyes on them, they can do nc
great harm and yet it may be well for our
citizens to keep sharp look out, too.

The OAKwOOD MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.
4 general meeting of the members OF the
Oakwood Memorial Association will be
held in the Third Presbyterian Church on
Monday evening next at ! o'clock to make
arrangements for putting down the first
head boards, and to consider important
matters in connection with the purposes OF
the association. The pastors of all churches
represented in the association are re-
qucStcd to be present and aid in the de-
libcratiOns.
As the work has now been begun, and
the materials will have 10 be paid for, all
active members who have not already paid
their annual dues are requested to pay
them at the meeting announced.
There is general wish and anxiety
throughout the city to commence as soon
as possible the task of placing in order the
graves AT Oakwood Cemetery. AT Holly
wood, however, there are still four or five
hundred graves 10 he rcmounded, and
these should be finished before those at
Oakwood are taken in hand. There /,
considerable objection also to the selection
of the Fourth of July as the day for work
ing at Oakwood. The young men are all
ready to turn out when called on, but
they express a wish that some other day
than the Fourth Of July may be chosen by
the committee.

KENTUCKY people have
done more for the relief of the suffering
poor of the south than the citizens OF Ken
lucky, not even excepting our generous
friends in Maryland. We have to record
another instance Of Kentucky liberality
in the receipt by ii. 4. c. Baskervill, Trea-
Surer of the Richmond Relief Association,
of six hundred dollars from Mrs. Hebe c.
ith, Of Henderson, KY, being the pro-
eds Of concert and OF some donations
.dade by the citizens of that town.

ALLEGED RoBBEKY.-Mr. Isaiah Baker
was arrested on Yesterday upon charge
of stealing Sixty-two dollars and half in
gold from Mr.. Terence. This latter states
that Mr.. Baker was boarding at his house,
and on Thursday came into his room and
asked for a sheet of writing paper. Mr..
Terence went to his trunk, which was un-
locked, and contained the money, took out
some paper and gave it to the prisoner.
The prisoner sat down to write, and Mr..
Terence left the room. When he returned,
he found that the money had been taken
from the trunk, and had Mr.. Baker immc-
diately arrested. Mr.. Baker is young
man Of good connections, and has always
borne IA good character. The circum-
stantial evidence against him is strong, but
a strong point in his favor is, that negro
boy employed by Mr.. Terence ran Oft on
the night Of the robbery, and has not since
been heard Of.

AN OLD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Mitchell,
a negro, was arrested on yesterday upon 4
charge of stealing a counterpane and a
quantity of wearing apparel. II appears
that about four years ago Mrs. Jeter was
travelling from Petersburg TO this city,
when her wearing apparel and a quilted
counterpanc were stolen. She heard no
thing of her property until yesterday, when
she saw the prisoner Mitchell with coun-
terpane in her possession which Mrs. Jetcr
Immediately recognized as the one which
had been stolen from her.

ACCIDENT. - Yesterday afternoon, at
about half-past O'Clock, while the work
men were engaged in plastering the cell
ing of the room intended for the First
National Bank, in Putney & Wattss build
ing, on the corner of Thirteenth and Main
streets, the scaff'olding upon which they
were fell in. There were four men upon
it at the time, and how they escaped being
crushed to death is wonderful. One OF
the workmcn, A. II. Walker, received a
bad cut in his right hand, and another
one, named Elliott Clordice, was severely
stunned, and bruised about the body. His
injuries, however, are not serious, and he
will only have day or two's inconvenience
from them. DR.. J. e.. Cabell rendered
surgical aid to them.

THE FINE EARTS--WYNKooP'S PHoTo- -CHRO-
MATIC OH PORTRAITS.-Thcrei is no Surer
sign OF the progress Of civilization and re-
tinement than love Of the fine arts: and
that love of the beautiful is innate and
spontaneous is shown by the fact that the
walls OF the humbleSt cottage are generally
decorated with cngravingS or rudely -colored
drawings, which still convey some idea of
what they are intended to represent. Or
dinary oil paintings, by their excessive
cost, are placed beyond the reach OF the
majority OF the community; but the course
OF scientific discovery now enables each
one to indulge his fancy for paintings at
an excessively reasonable price. Mcssrs.
WynkoOp x Co., OF Philadelphia, have in
vented new method of taking pictures or
portraits by what is termed the photo-chro-
matte process. The portraits arc upon
canvass, bear the appearance Of the finest
oil painting, and yet have all the accuracy
OF the common photograph. In coloring,
dclicacy OF outline, and general finish, the
photo-chromatic portraits are equal to any
oil painting; and they have at the same
time Il mcllowncsS and sottncss which is
only acquired by rdisary paintings in oil
! after half century OF existence. Al
present, Messrs. Wynkoop X Co. have for
sale portraits of President Johnson and
George Washington, and they will soon
issue similar portraits of Mr.. Davis, Gene
raj Lee, and General Jackson. The por-
traits are cabinet size, handsomely framed,
and are worthy of place in any gallery or
drawing room. MesSrs. Wynkoop s. Co.'s
- i,,t ,it T.
on Main street, between Seventh and Eighth
streets. 1t is seldom that so great COM
bination of beauty, merit, and economy
of price is found as that shown in the pho
to-chromatic portraits; and the more that
they are seen the more generally will they
be admired.
