Mr.. Charles Carroll Hicks, formerly
an actor Of the New Memphis Theater,
is in the city. 1t will be remembered
that be was captured in command of a
Confederate privateer during the war,

We are indebted to Mr.. j. p. Pres.
colt, who, with his family, has just
returned from the North, for late papers.
Mr.. p. informs us that in Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis and Louisville, in
each of which he spent some time,
business is unusually dull.
Two mules we're stolen from Mrs.
Kain's stable, 81 Third street, last night.
Horse and mule stealing is Of nightly
occurrence, and few criminals of this
class obtain their deserts. When mr.
rested freedom is soon obtained through
the Intervention of the courts.
1t is understood that Mr.. Tom Con-
ner, an actor of merit, is here securing a
dramatic company for Little Rock. The
closing of the Black Crook has left a
number of theatrical people here unem-
ployed and out of money. We hope he
will give some of them a showing.

ST. PATRIcK's CHURCH FAIR.-The
fair for the benefit of st. Patricks
Church, opened auspiciously last night,
quite number of ladies aud gentlemen
being in attendance, aud everything
passing off most agreeably. The inte-
flor of the beautiful little hall of the
Memphis Club has been most tastefuIly
decorated by the ladies Of the church,
and presents an inviting appearance.
Those presiding at tables are: No. /,
Miss Mary McKeon and Mrs. Peasants

Fisher; No. 3, Mrs. Daneri and Mrs.
Deviu; No. A, Mrs. Larkin and Mrs.
Costello; No. 5, Mrs. Fisher and Mrs.
Connolly; No. 6, Miss Sue Flaherty.
Behind nearly all the tables, ready to
serve patrons, will be found young ladies
whose bright eyes and sweet faces will
scarcely fail to make sad havoc with
susceptible hearts. At Miss Flaherty's
table is a magnificent china punch. bowl,
to be raffled. A fine gold watch is also
there to be voted to some popular gentle
man. AS the proceeds Of this fair are to
be devoted TO a good object-that of
assisting in the completion of the church
this effort of the ladies in its behalf
should not be overlooked. No one can
fail TO spend pleasant evening within
the walls of the hall this week, and we
hope all who can do so will manifest an
interest in the fair by their presence and
contributions. The fair will be continued
tonight, and every evening during the
week until further notice
THE BLACK Crook INJUNCTION CASE.
After patiently hearing the arguments in
the case of McDonough VS.. beagle, APP
plication to prohibit the presentation of
the spectacular drama called the Tale Of
EncAantment Judge Trigg has issued
an injunction restraining the defendant.
Mr.. McDonough was sustained by the
Court in pronouncing the Tale Of En-
chantment fraud on the Black Crook.
So far as scenery is concerned this is
doubtless true, but the plot as given by
the beagle combination was no fraud
upon anything in or out of dramatics we
have ever seen or wish to see. This de-
cision adds materially to Mr.. Deagle's
pecuniary loss, throwing upon him the
expenses of the five nights during which
the house was closed by the first injunc-
ton. Had he succeeded, the plaintiff
would have been bound for them. We
learn that in a short time McDonough's
original Black Crook, as so successfully
produced at Niblo's, will be put upon the
boards at the New Memphis Theater
Preparations are already being made for
its reception.
