REPORTED RoBBERY-It was ru-
mored yesterday evening that gen
tleman on board the Quickstep, en-
route to Cuba. was robbed of large
sum of money just before the boat left
port yesterday We were, however
unable to ascertain any particulars
but from the abundance of knaves
and thieves just now infesting the
city, we should not be surprised if the
rumor was true.
Since the above was in type, we
learn that the name of the man robbed
is Love, and the amount of which he
was relieved was $500. Suspicion
rests upon two men who had been in
his company during the day.

the hottest of the season, aad was
well calculated to fatigue and ener-.
vate the players.
After returning to the city, the
Quicksteps with a few friends and
invited guests. were magnifcently en-
tertained by the Evansville Club at
the Sherwood House, where a most
sUmptuous dinner had been prepar-
ed. and of which all partookf with
hearty zest after their appetite-in-
spring exercise The dinner was all
that could be desired. and reflected
much. credit upon the ability of Mr..
Russell, acting chief, in the absence
of Mr.. Smell, and won many enco-
NUNS from both the citizens and the
strangers present.
When the substantials were dis
posed of, champagne corks popped
lively for brief space, and toasts and
brief speeches, some of them extreme
ly brief, we're in order, during which
the ball won by the Quicksteps
was presented, with few appropriate
remarks by Major Blythe Hynes, and
responded, on part Of the Quicksteps,
in most felicitous manner, by Mr..
Cy. Harris, of Paducah The festivi-
ties closed with three hearty cheers
for the Sherwood, its excellent pro-
prietor,a its popular clerk and the
handsome and attentive attendants in
the dining room 'a9nn3 - =
After dinner the Quicksteps
were escorted to. the boat when a
parting toast was drunk, aud the
guests Of a day left for their homes,
not less gratified with the handsome
manner in which, they had been
entertained, than with their success
on the Ball Grounds.
The playing yesterday is represent
ed by those who witnessed both
games, as much superior to that at
Paducah. Mr.. W Harlan, of. the
Quicksteps, made a splendid home
run, on ball batted almost out of
sight. Seth Coolidge lost home run
on an equally long ball, by pausing a
moment on the third base, misappre-
+shending the call of the Captain. He
made the run home. however, in good
time f-a 9
The whole affair was extremely
pleasant, and will serve to make the
people of. Evansville and Paducah
better acquainted and better friends.
The final game will be arranged
hereafter, and will come off at some
point along the river; perhaps at
Shawneetown or Mt. Vernon.

SUSPICIOUS CHARAoTERS.-A gen
tleman, who has business up the
bayou almost daily, informs US That
he sees, almost every day, men lying
on logs in the woods either asleep or
pretending to be asleep. On Wednes-
day morning, between and 8 o'clock.
he found two men thus resting in the
woods, and they remained there all
day, and yesterday he found another
occupying a Ike position. These men
were well dressed, and gave no atten-
ton to our informant as he passed by,
but carefully concealed their faces
from him He supposes they are
thieves or burglars, who ply their ne
farious calling by night, and in the
day time skulk away in the woods to
avoid observation 1t would be well
for the officers of the law to make a
tour of observation, at least through
those regions, and acquaint them
selves with the faces.

Decision In Bankruptcy

The United States District Court
for the EaStcrn District ofNcw York
has recently, In case otbankruptcy,
decided the following points;
/, That the property ofa bank
rupt, which was his at the time OF
the commencement Of proceedings,
and no other property, shall vest in
the Assignee, and shall vest in him,
from that date, no matter when the
assignment is executed.
2. That the commencement of
proceedings is the filing Of the pcti-
ton. at requires an adjudication
to make the filing Of the petition Of
any avail as II commencement ofthc
proceedings, but when the adiudica-
tion is made the filing becomes the
commencement Of proceedings"
4. If the petition and schedules
and inventory annexed, bctound de-
iective, and are thrown out ofCourt
for amendment, the filing ofthdt pc.
tition is still the commencement Of
the proceedings.
These poinfs arose in ,hc case of
c. G. Patterson between him and
two ofhis creditors files his pcti-
tion in bunkruptcy on June 35th,
and il was found defective. Anoth-
er petition was filed September II,
which was correct, ana the proper
certificate was issued by tho Rcgiis-
ter Tn the meantime on She 18th

FEED OF HENs.-A correspondent
of the Massachusetts Ptou9hman
writes to that paper as follows:-As
there seems to be a great inquiry as
to the best preparation of food for
hens, to make them lay, one of my
neighbors, c. G. Lewis, Esq, who
has been experimenting, gives the
following as the result of his cxper-
ince. Take one qurtcr of corn, and
boil it in clean water, to which ho
added, while boiling, tablespoon of
bleck pcper, or half the quantity Of
cay ennc; this quantity to be allowed
to every nine hens daily, then the
water to be drained off for them to
drink when sufficiently cool, or 10
be mixed with onc.third hmc water.
By following this method his hens
have amply repaid him for his extra
truble. Having had large egg laid
for me, by one of my not lOngsince,
| will send an account of its dimen
sions and contents: and as it out
Barnums Burnham's fancy breed, no
fault Statement will be made, and |
hope you will not consider me
eggotistic, if 1 claim TO have had
shelled out to me, the greatest and
lates freak of nature. The egg was
of irregular shape, and a rough ex-
terror, nearly as hard as any com
mon egg, mesuring seven and one
half inches in circumference and nj
ne inches around it lengthwise,
grose weight sixounces. Ii having
been accidentally broken, the con-
tents were found to be two yolks,
with an unusual quantity ofwhiter
and common size whole egg, with
a perfectly hard shell. The laid q
common egg next day, Peffeetle fiat
on one side. The above is not az
eggsaggeration, but is the truth, a'
can be attested by my neighbori
that have eggsamided it. b.

PIsCAToRY INTELLIGENCE.- L..
Vallandigham tells the ftllowing
story:
While upon the Island of Bermu-
da, one of the most interesting
groups in the world-historic, be-
cause Shakespeare made it, in part,
the subject of one of historic plays
in travelling from one portion of
the island to the other, passed by
a stone inclosure, perhaps hundred
feet in diameter. The islands are
coral in their formation. There was
pool of water, full of fish, inside
the inclosure. l paid an English
shilling for admission inside, where
| saw perhaps a hundred fish, thor
oughly tanned, each one having a
name, and each one answering to
the name by which he was called
One of them, / recollect was called
Dick. l spoke to him as would
to dog, and it came and lifted up
his head and allowed me to rub his
back, just as you would cat. Now,
as l told you, if anybody else had
told me that / would not have be-
lieved it. But it is nevertheless
true. There is just such pool there
and there are fish there so intelli-
gent that they know their names
/ think they ought to vote. | wonld
wager you that these fish would
not forget their names. That big
fish knew his. ] will wager YOU
another thing, that these fish, al
they been allowed to vote, wouli
not have marched up to post ofiicC
box and voted there.

THE BARvARIA-T h German
citizens Of New Orleans gave n
grand public reception to the Bava-
ria, a few days since, as being the
pioneer of the Hamburg and Amer
lean Steam Company. Th y pre-
sented her Captain with beautiful
new flag of the North German Con-
federation. She is the first vessel
which has arrived at New Orleans
bearing that flag. IL consists of
three perpendicular bars, black,
white and red. The old flag, says
the Picaync, was black, gold and
red, but was seldom carried by ships,
they using generally the flags of
t h different German States o
which they belonged. The New
Orleans papers hail the arrival of
tho Bavaria as marking the COM
mencement of a new era in their
history, and extend her very cor
dial welcome. She brought immi-
grants, and somehow cludcd the
custom house officials, who had in
tended to stop her and prevent her
landing, and steamed up at an early
hour to the Company's wharf at tho
foot of Jackson street. 1t is thought
strange that she should have arriv-
cd in front of the city without being
telegraphed, and feaps are expressed
for the emigrants on account Of the
yellow fever. We hope they may
escape.
The Bavaria is q splendid ship,
and very swift, having made the
passage from Southampton in the
short time of IS days and 90 hours,
bringing large cargo and some
$50 passengers, most Of whom are
immigrants.-Gdi. Ne,cS.

The November MeteOrs.

We stated in our columns on yes
tcrduy aud the day before, the rc-
suit Of the mutcoric shower rs ID
was observed casually in Galveston.
or course il could not bo expected
that the samO eSactnoss Of details
would be given rs derived from Oh
servatories, especially when il was
well known that IN the East ample
/ preparations were made for : h
I most careful observations, and that
what happened in Galveston would
also be seen in the Heavens at tho
points determined by scientific as
/ tronomcrS.
| The National Intelligoncer gave
the following on the subject
A great display of shooting stars
on the morning Of Nov. l4th, is pos.
siblc but not very probable, the
great body of tho swarm having
passed by the orbit of the earth on
their journey into space. But there
will, no doubt, be plenty Of stray
glcrs, and many more metcors may,
therefore, be expected than on ordi-
nary nights. Tho following pro-
gramme of observation has, thero-
fore, been adopted by the Superin-
tcndent of the United States Naval
Observatory in this city:
Observations Of MeteorS on tile No
sember 18Th and llH.-Observations
Of the paths of tho principal visible
mcteors among tie stars, in order
to give the paraIlaX, will be made
at the Naval Observatory, between
the hours of halfpast ten and one
o'clock in the northern heavens,
and between eleven and two o'clock
in the southern heavens. ..
II rs hoped that parties in Penn
sylvania and New York will be pre-
pared to cooperate in the obserya-
tions Of the former class. ...t
For southern observations it is
proposed to send Il practical obscr-
YER to Richmond TO make corres-
ponding observations. -
The telegraph yesterday announ-
ccd the rcsult of some of these obscr-
vations as follows:
DETROIT, Nov. 5.-Professor
Watson, Of the Michigan Universe
ty, reports that he counted 1900
metcOrs per hour.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-1t is esti-
mated at the Observatory that 1000
mcteors fol within 20 minutes.
About 4 o'clock the radiant point
was well defined, being night ascen-
sion 10 hours I minute, declination
200 81 minutes.
None were observed at Greenwich
OF elsewhere in Europe.
1t may appear curious to the un-
initiated how these are counted with
any approximation at certainty, but
the zodiac is divided into sufficient
segntents, and careful guard and
count kept by number Of watchers
whose duty it is to reckon only
those which start in his individual
portion. We presume when the de-
tails reach us they will be highly

A Coon IRISH ANECDoTE.-Some
years since, when the beautiful
painting of Adam and Eve was ex-
hibited in Ireland, it became the
chief topic of conversation Finally a
ragged, illitcrate peasant went to see
it. The light was so arranged as to
reflect on the picture, and leave the
spectator in comparative darkness.
The peasant as he entered the room
to see his first parents, was struck
with so much astonishment that he
remained speechless for some mo-
ments. He stood like a statute, as
though his feet were incorporated
with the oaken floor of the ROOM
At last with an effort he turned to
an acquaintance and said:
"Barney, I'll niver say another
word agin Adam in all me life, for
had / been in the garden, I'd have
eat ivery apple in it, for the sake OF
such a lovely creature as Eve.
/ is needless to add that this was
received with roars of laughter.

The writer declares that he does not intend
discussing the question of price, but that the
public is of opinion that the general good has
been too much dsregarded in favor of indl-
vidual interest. The article then says:-''To
these observations which we have reproduced
without enlarglng on them, are added some
fears which will probably be dissipated by a
note in the M0niteur. Those who are ac-
quainted with the interior state of the works
ask If, in fact, the palace can be open to the
public on the 1st Of April, and, in case the open
ing does not take place then. If the incomplete
arrangements will not be of such importance
that the Exhibition will run the risk of being
lessened in the estimation of the foreigners con-
stituting the first guests? We hope these appre-
tensions are exaggerated. The commerce Of
Paris awaits with legitimate impatience the
movement which that accumulation of elegance
and riches ought to produce. These exceptional
and unforeseen augmeDtqtons in consumption
