Cdmilla's Husband, drama OF no par
ticular merit, and nearly innocent of
good dramatic situations 1t was we'll
presented, however, Miss Melville play
ing LADY Camilla with much feeling,
and carrying the sympathy of the au-
dience with her. The other prominent
characters were most creditably sus-
tanned by Messrs. Roche and Anderson,
the latter of whom has never failed to
equal expectation. The Black Cook has
been shelved, after winning considerable
popularity, and Caste will be substituted
tonight. This is one of the neatest, most
amusing comedies ever presented here,
Astounding in splendid dramatic sensation
and affording an admirable opportunity
for the development of the comic powers
of the company. Caste was written by
Mark Lemon, of the London Punch, and
proved a great success in England.
Those who have read BLEAK House"
cannot fail to have observed the remark
able similarity between the scene in
which Samuel Gerridge" asks "Eccles"
for +" Polly" and that in BLEAK House"
in which old "Turveydropo consents to
young Princes" marriage to "Caddy
Jellaby." Although "Eccles" is a chro-
mic topper and old Mr. "Turveydrop" a
model of\Deportment, no one familiar
with Dickens can doubt that the author
of Caste had Turveydrop " and simple
hearted "Caddy" in his eye when draw
ing the characters of "Eccles and his
daughter Polly" In fact, some por-
tions of the text of this scene in Caste
are almost identical with that above
mentioned. The Pretty HorsebreGker,
in which Miss Melville appears to much
will conclude the evening.

MURDERoUs MIDNIGHT AssAULT.-A
bold piece of scoundrelism was perpe-
trated about twelve o'clock last night, at
the corner of Main and Poplar streets.
A gentleman stopping at the Overton,
while standing at the corner of the build.
ing, was suddenly approached from
behind by come scoundrel and felled to
the pavement by blow from an iron
knuck." He remained unconscious
from the effects of the blow for some
time, but meanwhile the rascal, whose
object doubtless was robbery, disap.
peared without riaing his victim. This
is one of the boldest villanies of the kind
we have recorded for long time.
In answer to a request from an old
friend in Mississippi, to name good at.
torney here for the collection of claim,
we will suggest I. B. Micou, Esq, whose
card appears in our paper. He is man
of talents, integrity and remarkable
faithfulness in attention to business.

Shocking Sight.

A few nights since the passengers on
the steamer Mary Powell were shocked
by one of the passengers, a young man,
suffering from that terrible malady, by
drophobia The young man lives in the
vicinity of Newburgh. Seventeen years
ago he was bitten by a rabid dog, and
since that time he has been subject to
frequent paroxysms of the disease. The
attacks generally last for an hour or so,
with paroxysms Of two or three minutes
duration each, and during which the
strength of four or FIVE men is necessary
to restrain him from biting those about
him. On this occasion he struggled
wildly to bite those who we're holding
him, and barked like a dog Aud to in.
crease his subsequent agony he rebroke
one Of his arms, which mad not yet fairly
knit itself after having been broken in
one of his fits short time ago. After
the attack passed of, the afflicted man
paced the deck in excruciating torture
from the broken limb, and the object OF
plying sympathy from his fellow passen.

Extraordinary Swimming Feat.


A remarkable swimming feat occurred
yesterday, if reports are true, and we
have no reason to doubt them. Truth
is stranger than fiction" A raftsman
took occasion to visit the brothel at Men
omonee, and while there got into fight,
during which he was set upon by six
men, who beat him numerically, cutting
his head in a fearful manner, nearly
closing one of his eyes, and very near
killing him. To save his life, he escaped
from the house and plunged into the
river. The Menomonee house is a mile
above here, on the Wisconsin shore, but
it was a race for life, and he struck out
boldly for the Iowa shore, after divesting
himself of his boots, pants and coat while
in the water. Taking his money, some
$50, from his pocket before leaving his
pants, he grasped it firmly in one hand
and swan down the stream, landing
at RhombOrg's distillery, mile distant,
with nothing on his person but a shirt
and hat Arriving there nearly ex-
hausted, he procured a pair of pants
from a workman and came TO this city
for medical treatment, which was rem
dered by Drs. Staples and Phillips. he
was intoxicated and fell asleep while
stitches we're being taken in his wounds
His money was wet, but in good state
of preservation, and after being patched
up he was sent to Jess boarding-house
for further repairs, the most needful of
which was a quiet nights rest and re-
cover from his debauch. A drunken
man sometimes performs wonders; so
does a man when in fear Of his life. lf
he had been sober it is doubtful if he
would ever have undertaken the feat Of
